That doesn't seem to be the default user data folder, since it's on OneDrive and not on your own hard-drive. Have you changed the preferences to reflect that?

 

And yours is a normal Steam installation, right?

 

Tbh, I don't see much reason why it shouldn't work, but I must be missing something.

 

Update - Well… this is embarrassing. Some news from Italy showed up on my Inbox and I noticed that the Napoli name was fixed. Not sure how it happened. Maybe when I was tweaking my Preferences for some other reason… Magic?

In transferring FM files across two laptops, I admit things got a bit messy. I tried to install FM in my OneDrive (but syncing is dodgy). In any case, FM is working perfectly. Yes, it's a normal Steam installation. No need to spend your time solving the Parthenope name. I appreciate your care. Thanks.

All seems fine there. I also asked for a screenshot of your editor data folder. Also, did you start your save game in FM23 perchance?

 

Screenshot of editor data folder below. It's a brand new save in FM24. I was playing FM across two laptops in recent weeks because my main laptop was out for repair, but I was able to reinstall everything perfectly in my main laptop and it all works fine, other than the Parthenope name… Thanks for your help.

Can you provide screenshots of the locations you're placing the lnc files in, screenshots of your editor data folder as well as attaching the files you've edited to your reply?

 

Sure. Please see lnc file attached and two screenshots below. Thanks for taking a look.

You should have paid a bit more attention to the instructions: you should replace

#"CLUB

with

"CLUB

and not

#CLUB

 

😉

 

You should do the same for the lnc file in the 2400 folder too.

 

Thanks for your care and attention to detail. (Sorry I was tired last night and mistyped it). I did as instructed in both files and correctly this time, but Parthenope is still there. I'm not playing in Italy at this moment, so I'm not too bothered, but if you have any additional tips, please let me know. Thanks again.

1. Club name changes were working fine in the beta but now I've downloaded the new version of the fix, they don't work anymore. What's happened?

Reason: When club name changes are done via lnc files, this removes the clubs' nickname, which is not the case if editor data files are used, which is why the latter are preferred. Since editor data files didn't work with the FM24 beta, club name changes were done via lnc files during the beta version. Once the full game was released, club name changes were switched back to the intended delivery method, i.e. via editor data files.

Solution: Use this workaround to solve the issue in your existing save game.

 

Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I tried but it didn't work. This is what I did:

  • I opened the City, Club and Stadium Name lnc filed located in the 2430/lnc folder. I replaced all #"Club with #Club
  • Result: All stadium images disappeared! I freaked out. I then reloaded skin, and all stadium images came back (Ufff….). But Parthenope name remains.

Did I miss something?… Am I opening the wrong file and folder, and replacing wrong club names in the file? Thanks.

Read the FAQ in the second post 👍

 

Sorry but I couldn't find on the FAQ how to fix the Napoli name. All other club names are fine, just Napoli is wrong (Parthenope). Many thanks.

Hi there,

 

Glad to hear this worked, any chance you could explain how to do this? I don't quite understand what is meant by using your config.

 

OK. Try this:

 

1. In your graphics/newgan subfolder (probably named "6- _UltraRealistic NewGan Face..."), look for the file config.xml and open it with your notepad application (other text applications should also work).


2. In notepad, click Edit on the top bar, and then click Replace. Type "person/" in the top field, and "person/r-" in the bottom field. Click Replace All, and save the file config.xml in the same folder you found it.


3. Go to FM, under Preferences/Interface, unclick use caching and click reload skin. Then reload skin. You should be able to see the same AI photos applied to your players before the FM patch update.

 

Does this work?…  Good luck. Have fun!

Yep 24.2 broke this for me as well. 

 

Edit: Newgens IDs now have r- in front of them which is what broke this. The fix is to open your config and find/replace "person/" to "person/r-"

 

Brilliant!  This works like a charm. Thanks so much!

With 24.2 update, all my newgan faces disappeared and were replaced by the silly cartoon faces.

 

Is there a way to recover newgan faces as they were before (I don't want new AI faces to my current players as I already got used to them)?

 

I chose “preserve” mode in the newgan editor but it didn't work. I'm afraid that if I chose “generate”, my players will get entirely different AI faces, no?…

 

Please help. Thank you.

The NewGan Manager use the wrong Iso Code for the Kosovo. KVX is the correct one. Just replace them. 

Can you please provide a list of codes that need to be  replaced? Is saving the same log file all I need to do? Thanks

 

PS: I replaced KOS with KVX in the newgan log file, saved it and then reloaded the skin, but Kosovo players still have cartoon faces…

Alright, you have to do some troubleshooting. - Go find the log located somewhere like this: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\NewGAN-Manager\app\newganmanager\newgan.log 

Look through that file. Perhaps it would say something like  “Mapping for DAN is missing. Skipping player “1231241””  - or other stuff. In this case DAN is the danish short for Danmark - but the program does only recognize the english DEN for Denmark.

 

Yes, as you pointed out, I found over 340 lines indicating missing info, a third of which were for KOS: "Mapping for KOS is missing". 
 

My newgan log file is attached below for your review.


Is there any way to fix this?… Thanks for your help.

Do you run the game in another language than English? That might be a problem when doing the RTF file.

Also as some other suggest, try install the 1.21 version.

Thanks for the reply. I run my FM in English.  My installer is version 1.3. 
In the original install, some 20% players kept their cartoon faces, and in following seasons all newgens come with cartoon faces…

Any other tips please?

This is amazing. I applied this pack and it worked fine in the majority of cases, but 20% of fake players still have the ugly cartoon faces. 

 

I reapplied the pack using the “Preserve” Mode in the Newgan editor, but I still see cartoon faces, predominantly in newgen players. 

 

How do I fix this please? Thanks.

Yes, I use the mega background packs but am willing to uninstall it. I only installed them because I like to see the stadium photo in the club profile. 

 

Can you please share the link to the Mini Stadium Pack? I couldn't find it. Many thanks.

This is the best skin alongside Zealand's - thanks! Danke! 

 

It is nearly perfect: only minor problem is the icon sidebar that has urban photo on the background, which makes it difficult to read the icons (see image). (The most common problem in most skins is the huge background photos that make it nearly impossible to read the page - not the case with Norseman's, thanks).

I downloaded the skin and it's really nice, but unfortunately I can't use it. The city and stadium images on the main background are too overpowering, and I can't read my screen. Any way to remove these gigantic background images and leave the main background in a dark color would be ideal. Thanks.

Did you read the OP?
 

If you are playing an FM23 save in FM24, then this fix also needs to be installed in ALL the folders indicated in this thread which apply to your installation.


Now you know 😉 


Btw. Mons, thanks again for giving us this option so early on! Dont got FM24 yet but i know what i download first 😉 

 

Thanks for pointing that out. I had read it but it went over my head. Perhaps placing this instruction within the list of numbered instructions (and same font size) would make more sense. In any case, it works now. Thanks.

Thanks so much but it's not working. I downloaded v,0.1 beta, deleted the three folders, pasted the new ones, but English Premier Division and three-letter Brazilian clubs still stand. I reloaded skin and un-ticked cache. Any tips?

 

PS: I'm playing a carry-on of FM23 save into FM24.

Too complicated. Just copy paste the folders. Delete them in the older FM version to save space. Voil!

Not that strange when you read the description of the file.

How come logos are applied but not jerseys? if you dont have anything helpful to stay, better shut up.

Just confirming, the Brazilian fix didn't work in beta (Oct 22, 2023). Brazilian club names still in three letters. 

 

Strange is that Brazilian club logos were applied ok, but not the club jerseys (still fake colors). 2023 logo and jersey packs were installed successfully. Thoughts?

Thank you. I found both shirts in the file. I installed the pack in my shirt folder and reloaded the skin. Weidly: primary shirt photo applied fine, but the secondary shirt remains plain white (no sponsor logos). It's strange that one photo applied well, but not the other…
