Ok that's fine, thanks for the help. I'll use a downloaded skin from now on.
@ mkarmy101
U'r right.
Forgot to say, that in FM2013 it only works with downloaded skins, and not in the standard ingame/inbuild FM2013 skins.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Other info:
Another thing to know is that it is quite possible that some faces just don't show up, and another day they will just work fine.....
For instant:
although these teams do have facepacks, some people had it this year with Real Sociedad from Spain.
In FM2012 AA Gent from Belgium had the same problem.
It's an average thing all facepacks do have since FM2012.
Thanks for the response @necjeff
I have downloaded a skin before and can see the default faces where you said they would be. I replaced the default 'male' and 'female' pictures with the ones from your pack I downloaded. It worked brilliantly.
However, I don't use that skin. I use the built-in "FM13 Dark" skin and I can't find that skin folder on my disk drive. This leaves me with two questions:
Do I have to use a downloaded skin for these default faces to work?
Or is it possible to find the FM13 Dark skin folder to change these normal faces?
Thanks, and your English is good by the way :-)
So the problem is that u cant get the faces visible which u made by yourself for regen players.....
In the post below (mkarmy101) i mentioned the importantce of the order of folders in your FM 'graphics' folder.
- Call your folder "all regens" and put all the png faces u made in it.
Give your regen PNG faces the same name as the player ID in your FM game.
Add a new config file in that folder. ( i advice to generate a new config file by using the FMxml programm - DOWNLOAD HERE)
This "All regens" folder will now come up front of your DF11 Megapack, so FM will read this folder first, b4 it will read the data in your DF11 Megapack folder.
Now it will use the 'regen faces' that u made/added.
Hope it solved the problem.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hope i understood the real problem now, and could help u to solve it.
If u really dont have a clue how to make a config file by yourself, u can always PM me, and ask to make some regen faces including a config file.
Hey mkarmy, i tried to imagine what the problem can be and hope that the following instructions/hints-tips will solve your problem.
- I donno in what range your D11 Default pack stands in your Football Manager "graphics" folder.
It is usefull to know that FM reads the folder in order of alphabet.
(And it reads numbers first before letters)
So if a folder is called "All Faces" and the following folder is called "Default Faces", then FM will use the instructions of the first folder that it reads. (in this case the folder called "All Faces")
If u place a number in front of the name of the packs u can sort in what order FM must read the folders in your graphics folder.
In case of the default faces u can try to rename the folder into "1.Default faces"
FM will read that folder first, because it will now stands up front in your graphics folder.
------------------------------------------------------------------
- What i mean with "search for the default folder in the used skin, and delete it" is:
Some skins have integrated default faces, and they wont allow FM to use the other default faces (like the DF11 defaults) before they are removed.
U will find these default faces often in the SKINNMAME/graphics/pictures/players - folder of the skin u are using in FM.
By deleting the default faces(folder) in that skin and place our DF11 Default folder in your regular 'graphics' FM folder, it all should work fine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I know.. it's more information then u saked for. But i hope u (and all other FM addicteds) will understand how FM reads the data.
I tried to explane it in the easiest way i can, although English isn't my home-language.
Hi necjeff,
Thank you for the fast reply. I really appreciate it.
I think I need to give your more details because I have all these awesome pics for my real players and dumbass regens look like shit still and I can't cope with that
So here's the problem:
My DF11 megapack allows me to play around and update the faces of real players, from the game's initial database, but not those of regens.
So if for instance I add this line to the config:
<record from="57050464" to="graphics/pictures/person/57050464/portrait"/> it will make the player associated with that ID have the portrait in the picture name (57050464.png).
But the player 57050464 is Nicusor Stanciu, a real in game player from the original database.
However, the same doesn't seem to apply when I use the ID of a regen player.
So I created my own 260x310 png and named it properly and tried going for:
<record from="1394715547" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394715547/portrait"/>
But I still get the auto-generated picture for that ID/player.
I feel like I should mention the following:
Is there a possibility that the "panels" file makes it so when there is an autogenerated picture already in place, it ignores the instructions in the config file?
Also, it may have to do with my skin ( using the Steklo X3 ).
All the other graphic mods (kits, stadiums, logos, original DF11 pack) are working fine.
In the end, I'd like to mention that I can't tell you how much I appreciate your work. Don't forget about setting up a donation page or something, you may be surprised how many people wanna virtually buy someone a coffee for making their game experience more enjoyable.
Cheers!
Hi @necjeff
Great work on the megapack itself, but I have downloaded the Default DF11 Faces pack, which you posted in these comments on 2012-12-02. Unfortunately it doesn't work, even after following the instructions and trying many different things. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "search for the default folder in the used skin, and delete it. (save a copy)". I would be grateful for any help on how to get it to work.
Thanks in advance
@Tedlinn:
Thanks for your comment Tedlinn.
Updating the config file isn't that hard as u see
About the regen faces.
Donno if i exactly understand what u ment in your comment, but maybe our "Regen pack" can be usefull.
Some time ago we made a "Regen pack" sorted by age.
We used portrait-photo's from other sports wich can be used to fill the empty space of players without a face. Such as new youth players or staffmembers wich we couldnt find photo's for.
U can download the "Regen pack" HERE!
(install instructions added to download)
