You can name them Bob, Tony and Philip if you want to, it won't make a difference just as long as they're within the graphics folder

I'm not 100% sure about the Metallic logopack but I would think it follows the same convention of 50k or less images for FM08.

Thank you so much for your help!! It worked!!
I created 9 folders and therefore 9 new config-files - one folder for the pictures starting with the number 1, one folder for the pictures starting with the number 2 and so on.
That way, i think it's easier for me to update the facepack.
I havent wen't further with the logo-pack.

Hi there.

Up to FM08, the game could only display up to 50,000 lines. Anything past that point would be ignored. With this file containing over 170,000 images, that's over 120,000 images laying dormant.

Happily, there is a workaround. It's a bit unwieldy, but it does work. Create four folders (or however many you want, really) and divide the images into them. You will need to create a config file for each folder though; the config file is what makes the game "read" the images. You can find simple instructions on how to do so here.

It's a bit tricky when it comes to adding update packs in this case, but we'll worry about that later.

Hope this helps

Thanks! I will try that later! The foldes will just need to have less than 50.000 files? Can i just name the folders "faces 1", "faces 2" and so on?

I have also moved my logo-pack (Metallic Logos Megapack) to the graphics folder. I bet i also have to make some new maps for these files or what? There is "only" 43.688 files in each folder, but i still have some trouble with some of the pictures, especially the german teams.

Hi
I'm trying to get the facepack working for FM 2008 (i'm having myself a retro game!). But no matter what i do, the faces won't show up. I have used the facepack for every FM-game, but now i'm having some trouble.
Funny enough, some of the players actually get the pictures from the facepack, so im kind of confused.
They are in this folder: C:\Users\Peter\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\graphics\faces and the box in FM that you have to untick is unticked.
I hope you can help.
