I may have to look at the FMRTE option to use the Newgan facepacks 

 

I usually get to about 4 or 5 seasons in and my Config file just corrupts ans screen starts flashing. This usualy leads to the faces disappering from the game.

 

I dont do an update of the newgan faces every intake as this has led to major issues for me in the past……now I just add any players I sign or come through the ranks. I add them manually to the config file. It works for a few seasons and then just corrupts for some reason. Does anyone else have a similar issue?

 

Is anyone using Newgan face packs without any issues as this thread seems to have gone a bit quiet lately

FMRTE has a free facepack installation feature. It works with any facepack. You should try it. It works with the free version of the program.

 

Any intructions on how to do this please?

 

I have been using Newgan tool for months, now it is crashing all of the time for some reason.

I get the same thing as a couple have posted above

Has there been any updates to the pack lately?

I use it in my game and I honestly could not play FM without it now.

I cant get faces for all the newgens, some get faces from the facepack and some are just the 3D fm faces. Is there any way to fix that?

 

It depends how many dont get faces I guess. I just add a line in the config file if anyone I sign does not have a newgan face

So it has happened again, this is the second youth intake in a row where the Newgens come with the faces from the facepack. This year 14 players and all bar one come with the Newgan face . Its now three seasons since I ran the Newgan app. 

A welcome development :-)

Could anyone help me please? I have been using the Newgen facepack for over 2 years now but all of a sudden within the past week it has just decided to stop working. I have tried re-installing the manager and the face's but it still refuses to work and I have no idea why. Please help

 

Have you looked at the posts above about having to change the 200 prefix to r-200 ?

I had a weird thing happen to me on this years youth intake. The faces were alreday populated with the faces in the pack when they come in my youth intake.

 

I thought I was seeing things. The only thing I can think is the newgen ID numbers are created in the game some time before they actually appear in the youth intake?

I say this as I changed the face pack I was using to the one used here about 2 months before my youth intake was due. So of course I ran the NEWGEN manager tool again to populate the faces. So the only thing i can asume is the IDs are created maybe when you get the first message about the youth intake expectations.

 

I also checked the other newgens in the game by adding a new manager and they also had the faces in the pack…….a nice little welcome surprise.

As Ninja 777 states above it is the capital P that is causing the issue.

I tested this today for you. I changed two of my players to a capital P in my config file and reloaded the skin…..the faces were replaced with SI faces.

 

So you just need to replace the capital P with a small case p and I think this will be your issue sorted.

Have added “Person/r-” in the CONFIG and still cannot see AI Faces in game. Have attached the CONFIG file is there something else I am missing?

 

I am far from an expert witb this, but that is a very small config file. Very short list of players there. 

Check one of the r- numbers on that config file and they may have a face allocated. 

If this is the case you have not selected all of the players when in the print screen phase. My search had over 40K newgens.

Hope this helps

Just to report something that has just happened to me and I have no idea why.

My youth intake come in and they were already populated with the Newan faces……I did not even run tte Newegan app. 

So I added a Manager to do a wider serach and it looks like all of the Newgens have the Newgen faces. I mean its good but I have no idea how this has happened.

 

One other thing I have the in game editior and i often use it to change the Newgen names. I did this before for one of them and a player in my first teams name also changed? 

What is going on? :-)

To be more precise I changed my Newgens first name from Duban to Anderson.

My first team LB also called Duban is now called Anderson too

where do i find these hidden files, ive deleted the app and deleted the views and filters from my fm24 folder then reinstalled and followed the process of moving the files but it still doesnt open the app when i try to open it

 

I am not good at this sort of thing but I will try.

First you have to make sure you can see the hidden files in Windows…….you may know how to do this

 

My files were 

Windows/users/info/appdata/local/programs/newgan

 

Delete the Newgan folder there. This worked for me

i have been using the New-Gan manager for a while now but i recently used it and during the download i exited off the app, from this i can no longer even open the app. is there any way to get around this?

You,need to delete the app and re install it. You also have to delete all,of the files associated with it , that includes the hidden files it creates

I asked above if anyone actually gets this idea to work on a consistent basis?

I know Jimmythecop above seems to but is there anyone else as I am running into one issue after another.

 

As Jimmy pointed out above Newgan 1.31 just freezes and wont work after a while. For me it was actually the second season. So after my second youth intake Followed the above instructions again and tried to use the Preserve feature. Tried this 3 or 4 times and it just froze.

 

So googled and yeah its a common issue, and the solution is to delete 1.31 and all of its files and install 1.21.

So I did this. First season the software worked a treat, all of the newgen faces worked. Big test would be after my second youth intake…..followed the same instructions and this time used the Preserve faces and it worked. Excellent, I thought i was on my way.

 

Third youth intake , followed exactly the same process and hit the Preseve faces and it froze. Again I have tried it a few times and all it does is freeze.

 

So I decided to try it on my newgens at my club as there are only 62 as I wanted to eliminate the fact that there may be too many newgens (34k) to replace. Same result…..it just froze. 

 

So I can use the generate faces no problem at all, the Preserve is fraught with issues. So every season I can use the tool to get faces in my game, but I jave to accept that my existing newgens will get a new face. I mean its still better than the cartoon character newgen faces in the game …..but it is a bit of a spoiler.

 

Also the CTRL + A select all feature is vert hit and miss, like it can take numerous attemots for it to actually select all of them. I am doing it right arent i? They are both pressed at the same time?

 

The trouble with these facepacks is they add so much to the game that I am not sure I can now revert to playing without them, so I would love to hear from people who are using them succesfully.

Is there another way of selecting all of the players? The CTRL + A is a lot hit and miss

I do wait as instructed but I have to try it well over 10 times for it to work.

When it does work it is very quick , ie a few seconds ……..

NewGan 1.3.1 is severely bugged for long term saves it will stop working. You can read all about it on the original Zealand forums about 1.3.1 stopping to assign names after like 5 seasons. I highly recommend switching to NewGan 1.2.1 for long term saves.

 

Technically you can also use Ultra Realistic Newgan Faces Megapack for staff as well. Just use the staff search feature and the staff view to export the RTF.

what you want to then do is copy and paste the data from the staff config.xml over to the end of your player config.xml. First you just rename the player config.xml to like config.old Run through NewGan for staff it will generate a new config.xml you copy that info and paste it in the config.old. Then delete the config.xml and rename config.old to config.xml

 

sure the staff is a lot younger looking but anything is better then Default FM NewGen Faces.

 

technically RockNRolla does have a staff pack but it isnt sorted in the folders that NeWGAN looks for. so if we sort that pack we would have better looking staff photos and we could keep 2 config files separate 1 for players and 1 for staff

 

Where can I find NEWGAN 1.2 as a google search did not help me.

So I have managed to get my real player faces back by deleting the Newgan installer and the relevant files associated with it.

 

I have now freshly installed the newgan app , but it won’t open. I have tried doing as suggested above but it still won’T open 

 

Has anyone actually followed the above steps successfully to do a new batch of regens ?

I was sure I had followed them word for word but clearly not.

HELP!! 

Well I have had a disaster, I have replaced all of my real players with the Newgen faces.

 

I followed the istructions a couple of times as above and it just kept freezing as shown in the pic below. So I tried again. Still the same result. 

Then I thought maybe it was because I was asking to preserve that was what was taking so long. So I dropped down the generate button and started the process.

I knew that my newgens would have a new face …………..but it has replaced my whole game with new faces.

 

How do I go about undoing this as I cant play the save I have now with these faces.

Just use the preserve mode (option) instead of the generate mode in the app when creating the config. That will add in any new and preserve what is already there 👍

Ok so I can just overwrite the files ? 
it’s a bit confusing . Or do I have to create a new file ?

Ok so now going to have a new youth intake , how do I do this again?

Obviously the files are all set up 

I don’t want to lose the faces I have so are their instructions to do this for the next year and subsequent years 

I tried to follow the steps above but got scared as it looked like I was going to overwrite a file 

Any guidance appreciated

Can you make a version without that transparent background, i prefer a solid background.

 

If you have stadium backrounds pack, remove it as this will mean a lot of the screens have a darker background. Player profiles for eg.

is there a limit to the amount of players who can be changed at once? I've just tried 10 seasons and barely anyone I check seems to have a Newgan picture. I have found 19 year olds that do though so the process has worked.

 

In fact, checking the config file, it only has 279 lines. whereas the ‘printed’ file has around 24,000


I am not sure about a limit on the numbers . When I did it I had just over 13400 new gens and it seems to have worked fine. I did come across one 15 year old who does not have the face , but i assume he may have come into the game since .

When you selected all of the players can you remember how many you had

Well I managed to get it all set up using the Newgen installer. The video didnt really help as I found it too hard to follow, I followed the instructions slowly and it all worked. What a difference it makes to the game. My youth intake was exciting -🙂 

Thanks to those who helped.

I assume every year I have to do the same process……maybe just set the age in the search to 15 to 16 to avoid a massive list. I had just over 13,400 in this one alone

If you are not using the NewGan manager tool, to make the faces for your own players you could make it manually, by editing a config-file (located somewhere in graphics/faces) with the player-id's of your players and mapping them to a specific face.

Example: Lets say I have a cut-out face saved in a folder in graphics-folder, the filename is Central European2049. My player-id is 2002287029. The line in my config-file would be:  <record from="Central European/Central European2049" to="graphics/pictures/person/2002287029/portrait"/>

Now in-game that face would show on that specific player, and I did not use the NewGan manager tool to make it.

Hope that makes sense,

 

Yes that makes sense and thanks for taking the time to help. I think my initial rection to this is it may be easier to follow the full process if that makes sense. ie us the NewGan manager tool.

As a novice with files etc to construct a config file would be too much. I also assume I would havt to do that for every player . This would be time consuming, whereas using the full process It only needs to be done say every season. 

 

I will have to master it in some way as these Newgens are horrendous ;-)

@Womaz  In the “views” folder there's views/SCRIPT FACES squad.fmf use that on your squad view and do the same thing (1) select all (2) prnt scrn (3) save as text

 

You don't need a new manager to just do your own squad obviously.

 

Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

Just so i get this right I am not using the Newgan Tool, i just have the packs in my Graphics folder. Or do I have to use the newgan manager?

So trying to explain a little better. Can I just use the odd face to get them into my game without using the Newgan manager?  

Hope I am making sense
