1) Anybody can add a new cut-out by manually adding it to the megapack folder and then using fmXML (available elsewhere on this site) to generate a new config file to enable the game to "read" the image. If it's a missing or an improvement image, then it will probably be added to the next update pack, if you can wait.

2) The point of the update packs is that they include all the individual cuts and the images in the released facepacks, as well as a good amount of images from outside the forum. Of course, one is free to use the steps in 1) to add them manually to his game if he can't wait till the update pack is released


Thanks mons, understood. It's way beyond my capabilities, but good to know anyway.

I wanted to ask for an image to be added in the next pack, so I'll need to check out the procedure and what info I need to supply.

Excellent stuff - I knew it would be something really simple to fix


Thanks! Not so simple for simple people

On a serious note, I have two questions to ask:

1) If there is a player with no photo in the game, or in any pack, can he be added separately if a pic is cut - or would it need to wait until the next update pack was made?

2) Browsing some of the other threads, I see people are doing specific team packs, or adding youth players, obscure players/staff etc. Once these are done, are they automatically put in to the next update pack, or must we download/extract/add them separately?

Apologies for the questions, which I hope make sense, I'm just not quite sure how you amalgamate all the new stuff in to the packs and curious to know.

Mons, I'm very grateful that you sent me some PM's yesterday - with your offer of further help.

Having followed all your advice from last night, I have now SUCCESSFULLY managed to load up the missing/extra packs again - and now I'm the proud owner of 152,989 (exactly) WORKING & VISIBLE player faces in my game.

I really do appreciate the extra effort you made to help me out. Hopefully there will be a new pack soon before I forget how to do it correctly

Thanks once again

I'm just sorry you seem to have gone through the whole process and not managed to install it right

Out of curiosity, how many images in total do you have in your MP folder?


Not to worry. It's only a painful failure because of the time it takes to do anything like that here.

It says 182,743 in the folder, so that's actually more than the 150,000 you guys have created. See how clever I am

Although I said I now have two config files in the folder, and some duplicates, I can definitely confirm that there aren't 30,000 duplicated faces - there are probably less than 100 where the image shows two versions.

Anyway, hopefully in the New Year I can find a place/way to do the whole pack from scratch.

If you have done things correctly, then you should not have a case where some image numbers have two versions. Moreover, you should only have one config file and not 2. When you add update packs to your megapack folder, please ensure that you overwrite everything when prompted. At the end you should have 152k+ images and a single config.xml. Anything else, and you've installed the file(s) incorrectly.


Yeah, somehow It's obviously not been done right. Not to worry, I'll wait until I get to somewhere I can do the whole 7.01 (or whatever pack it is by then) on a decent connection.

Thanks as always, the time and effort you guys go to with these extra packs really adds to the FM experience.

Hi again Mons.

I now seem to have the faces in the (one) right folder but new faces 6.01 to 7.01 aren't appearing - I tested it using an ID for a player added to pack 7.01, as verified by your 'search the cut out player faces link'.

Some of the images in my folder show recent dates so I can tell these are 'new pics', and some image numbers now have two versions (I don't care which one is used as long as one is anyway, so assume that's not a problem). More importantly, I also now have two config files (the second one dated 7 Nov 2014). Should I remove the first config file from this folder so that only one config remains (the newer, bigger one) or is that not likely to be the reason why it's not working for me?

* I tried, once again, to upload the complete 7.01 pack from scratch, and after 12 hours I got to 75% - however after another two hours this only progressed to 77% and then said it had been completed. I know that's not the case, so didn't bother extracting it across. I can't go through that agony again

The bit in bold is what's wrong. You should have one folder and one folder only with ALL the images in it; no sub-folders.

Copy the contents of each update pack in order into the "main" MP folder, overwriting when prompted.


Thanks for the fast reply and solution Mons. Not sure how/why a different file was created and will try and correct this later.

Cheers.

Hi Mons, you kindly advised me on 13th November how to individually upgrade from face megapack 6.0 to 7.01, and I have now been able to download all the extra files.

I've extracted those extra files and they now sit in Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2015 > Graphics > Faces. However, within that 'faces' file there is a further folder that contains the updates I have just done. Having done the re-loading skin parts as per the guidelines, and ensuring the right boxes are ticked and un-ticked, I hoped it would be fine.

However, I'm now noticing that lots of images previously showing in my game (on 6.0) are now not showing after what I have done today to get 7.01 - so something has clearly gone wrong.

I didn't realise that I could actually make it worse than it previously was, but after hours and hours of effort because of my poor internet facilities, this seems to be the case.

I know it's not the packs that have the error, and I do have all the download folders 6.01 to 7.01 inclusive on my system now. I was confident I had extracted them correctly too, but now feel sure it's something to do with the location of the folders. How that's removed so many of my old faces, I have no idea - and I haven't been able to find a new face that was previously missing either - so it really isn't going well so far.

Hopefully you can set me right again, because I can't get any enjoyment from FM until I see all faces again (right now, even getting back to how I was at 6.0 would be OK).

Cheers in advance, and sorry for inability to work this out myself.

It really depends what version of the 6.0 megapack you downloaded. If it's the main 6.0 megapack and no further, then you'd have to download update packs 6.01 through to 6.10, then update packs 7.0 and 7.01. They're on average around 150MB, so they might be manageable on your internet connection. If you do go down this route, remember that you should have all the images in one folder and one folder only, so put the contents of each update pack in the main megapack folder, overwriting when prompted.

Alternately, you could download the torrent file, which you can leave running in the background and can be stopped and started as and when needed without any ill-effect. To be fully up-to-date, you should then download the 7.01 update pack, since the torrent file is only for the whole 7.01 pack and no further.

Hope I've managed to explain it well


Thanks Mons. Yes it was 6.0 so I will have to go all through versions 6.01 onwards individually. I'll try with the first one and see whether it works. If so, that might be the best way. Cheers as always.

It's time for my annual appearance to ask for help and advice...sorry.

I had Faces Megapack 6.0 on FM14, but live in a country that has a really really terrible internet connection/speed. As an idea, it took 6-7 hours to update from the original BETA of FM15, to the final BETA version 15.0.3, and then another 7 hours to convert from BETA to current full game version 15.1.3.

My issue relating to faces, is that I wanted to download the whole 7.0 (now I see 7.1) Megapack, and started to do so on 4/5 occasions. I once got up to 19% but then my system said it had completed - this took over 10 hours. I was not able to resume, so deleted and started again. I repeated this a few times, with lesser percentage done before it said 'completed'.

In the end, I decided to copy my folder from FM14 to FM15. This took about 7 hours to do but worked and no faces were missing - and it's a good base to work from. Given these download speeds, and taking in to account I'm not great at this kind of stuff, what would be the best way to try and get right up to date on 7.1?

I wouldn't have minded it taking 24 hours if it worked for me, but alas, numerous attempts to do it say 'completed' at amounts less than 19%. Should I be looking to individually download all the updates since 6.0? If so, exactly how should this appear - do they all go in to different folders or must they be in one folder but with different names? Or is there ANY way that these can end up in the right place without me having to endure the hell of downloading? I'd love to know before I start the mission!

Thanks in advance if anybody has read this and can help.

P.S. I wish I could add some other things like logos, the real names fix, backgrounds etc - but just having faces is enough of a task so I won't be greedy!!

I seem to have successfully installed pack 6.7 - happy with that!

Firstly, thanks to all who help create the packs. Secondly, thanks to you Mons, not just for answering my previous queries (and Cachirro), but for alerting me to the fact that if I waited a few days, I could have 6.7 instead of 6.6. That notification saved me valuable time.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, all clear now. From my point of view it's better to ask if any specific order was necessary before doing it (wrong) and then having to start over again. It's a bigger challenge for me to do this right than it is to manage a club to promotion!

Cheers to you and Mons.

All I'm trying to understand is whether I need to remove 6.0 before downloading 6.7, or download 6.7 first and then remove 6.0.

Thanks Mons, yes I'm aware of that. But when 6.7 is available, do I need to remove 6.0 before I download the new one?

Are we just talking literally a few days then?

Hello All,

I've been using facepack 6.0 since FM14 launched, but now have the opportunity (with decent internet) to update to 6.6.

I know I can do update packs, but I'm really bad at this sort of stuff, and have a big challenge every year to do it once. Instead of doing 6 update packs (I may get confused where they go, how to do it etc) is it easier for me to load the complete 6.6 pack. If so, do I need to delete 6.0 before I start this task?

Thanks for any help, and as always the great effort you guys put in to making these packs.

Thanks again guys. I'm a bit hesitant to follow the ideas in that link on the config file so might try the updates 5.04 and 5.05. My main worry is that somehow I delete all the stuff I already have - as you can see I'm far from being tech savvy

Re 85120748 you can't have two cut-outs with the same ID number in the same folder, they must be named slightly different or not both be png files. Choose which one you want to appear in-game & make sure it is named 85120748 & is a png file then remove the other cut-out from the folder. If it still doesn't show up use this to search for the file then add that one to your folder remove the other two cut-outs & it should work.

Similarly for ID 24026903 use this to search for the file then download it to your folder & it should appear in game.


Thanks very much for that. Yes, the original pic was 85120748, the latest one was 85120748[1]. Both were png files. I deleted the original now, re-named the latest one, exited game and steam and re-loaded the skin. Still no face appeared. I then did the same from the link you gave, so that only that one image number was in the folder for this player, exited, re-loaded the skin again etc - still it doesn't appear.

You obviously know your stuff and this should work. But sadly it isn't in my version for some unknown reason. Any more thoughts?

I didn't yet try it on the other player ID as he isn't currently one of my squad, hence not so important.

To answer your first question, download the 5.04 update packs and then 5.05 and apply them in order, overwriting when prompted. Remember, you should have one folder and one folder only with all the images in there. You should have over 125,600 images, plus the config.xml in there.

In response to your second question, what that means is that the image for the person in question was added in that update pack. It will of course be visible both if you download any subsequent packs or if you download the latest version of the whole megapack.

For more info on the icons megapack, click this link. It refers to the previous version of the icons megapack, but the concept remains the same. It's up to you whether you want them to be in your game. It's got nothing to do with logos and kits, and those are dealt with in separate areas of these forums.

Hope this helps



Thanks mons, I will try and upload 5.04 and 5.05 soon. Also thanks for info on the icons pack too.

Question 2 response also understood, but something isn't quite right (I'm on 5.03 version at the moment after downloading that in full).

ID 85120748 is in my faces folder and somebody even sent me another so now I have two pics in there for him. Both pics show a face when I open in the folder, but no face shows for that player in game. I have 122,345 items showing and config file.

ID 24026903 face was in the default list but upon checking that image number still does not appear in my faces folder or in game.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Hi guys. I had a problem (raised here) with the first pace megapack I loaded, and that was sorted when I loaded up the whole new pack 5.03.

However, I see there are 2 new updates since then. Do I need to load 5.04 and 5.05 to see all the latest additions, or just 5.05? I assume both but could you confirm please. Also, if I am asked to overwrite at any point, should I say yes or no? I would literally cry if I removed all the images I already have haha.

Second question. There are 2 players that I searched in your image ID thread, and they both have pics that say 5.01 underneath. Does that mean they should have shown when I downloaded 5.03 full version? One of them (24026903) was on the default with a pic but hasn't shown an image since I loaded the megapack 5.03. The other (85120748) wasn't on the default database but despite showing as 5.01 in your ID thread, no face for him is in my 5.03 version.

Finally, what benefit do you get from the Icons pack? How do logos and kits appear different to the existing version that I would have? What other benefits are there? I have never downloaded Icons so just not sure if the benefits make much difference to the experience.

I hope my questions make sense and would appreciate your advice again.

Thanks in advance

Following on from earlier posts a few pages back, I finally decided to download the new 5.3 megapack from scratch (took about 12 hours - is that about right?) due to only having partial success with 5.2 version.

I am very pleased and surprised to say that it has worked fine this time and it makes the game so much more enjoyable. Now I can pick a team to manage based on actual preference rather than on who has the most player images!

So now, thanks without reservation to the time and effort of the people that created this and made it available to us.

Have you tried downloading the latest update pack and applying it? Remember, you should have one folder and one folder only with all the 122k+ images in it and the config.xml file.

Also, I can't seem to find what exactly your problem seems to be? Are you getting an error message or is it just the case that the images aren't showing?


Hi mons.

I can try and load the latest pack, but know this will take time and I am not sure if I will remember how I did it last time. I din't want to waste that time if it was not likely to make it all OK. I assume I don't need to remove the 5.2 version and just start from scratch with 5.3?

My main problem was that after loading the pack, I got loads of great new images, but many of my existing team (Copenhagen) that had images suddenly lost theirs. Some have nothing on view and some players have 'the face shadow outline'. Another example that makes me think I have done something wrong is that my own team (Reading) have virtually no faces when I look at them.

The megapack is fantastic and the efforts are truly appreciated, I just haven't been able to benefit from it properly, which is a tad disappointing.

Thanks Rowan, I chose the show hidden folders option as suggested. My in game preferences has no tick in the top box since I downloded the facepack. This is what I should have now for these to display? Or I should now re-tick it?

I appreciate your tolerance on this.

Well, yes you could do that, but you'll be missing out on an incredible addition to the game. The Clearing cache thing is much easier than it sounds, just follow the steps carefully.

Would be a great shame not to use it to it's full potential.


I agree and I do love these player packs. So if I clear the cache I don't need to do anything else?

Edit: I don't get any App Data option. I see a Roaming option but that doesn't take me to the next options lists.
