Instructions
Step 1 - Make sure that "Show screen ID in the title bar to assist skinning" is ticked on the Preferences Menu.Step 2 - Downloand and place the ''Newgen Revolution VX'' folder on your computer's desktop or wherever you find it most accessible.
Step 3 - Create a folder named "newgen faces" in this path:
Windows - Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 20XX/graphics/
MAC - Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 20XX/graphics
Step 4 - Open ''Newgen Revolution VX'' folder, copy and paste the config file into ''newgen faces'' folder. After that copy and paste the photo you like in the same folder.
Step 5 - Rename the (face photo) file with the ID of the newgen. (for example rename the euro40 to 2002XXXXXX).
Step 6 - Open the config file and copypaste the new ID ''2002XXXXXX'' two times. The line looks like this :
<record from="2002112149" to="graphics/pictures/person/2002112149/portrait"/>.
Step 7 - Every time a new face is added to the folder you will need to copy and paste into the config to create a new line and replace the IDs
Step 8 - Save config file, open the game, clear cache and reload skin.
If you do it once it will become a very easy and quick process.
Instructions for use with NewGan manager tool and other facepacks
To use faces from both mods with the NewGan Manager, users will need to -1. Download this facepack and FMUGens facepack (and the updates if you want them).
1a. Download NewGan from fmscout
2. Put the "FMUGens MEGAPACK" folder into graphics -> faces (create "faces" folder if you don't have one). Delete the config.xml provided with FMUGens.
You will not use the config.xml file from either mod, you will be creating your own with NewGan Manager.
3. Drag the individual photos from this mod into their respective Nationality folders provided in the "FMUGens MEGAPACK" download.
Example: Photos from this mods Africans folder into FMUGens Africans folder, photos from this mods Asians folder into FMUGens Asians folder, ect.
4. Do the usual in-game NewGan .rtf file setup and creation.
Heres a Tutorial on that if you've never used NewGan
https://youtu.be/4w2mmwfiAoM?t=141
NewGan requires a shortlist to be made in-game with with a certain view and filter. Both are included in the NewGan download. This tutorial video walks you through it.
Once you have created the .rtf file in-game, launch NewGan and you will be directing it to the "FMUGens MEGAPACK" folder. You will also direct it to the .rtf file you just created.
Then run NewGan just how you normally would, or how that tutorial instructs you too.
The application will now use photos from both mods when creating the config.xml because they are in the same folder! The config.xml file gets crated in the "FMUGens MEGAPACK" folder.
To use NewGan with FMUGens file structure you will NEED TO RENAME TWO FOLDERS IN THE FMUGen MEGAPACK folder.
Rename South America folder to South American
Rename Scandinavia folder to Scandinavian
-------
You can double check if it worked by opening the newly created config.xml in the "FMUGens MEGAPACK" folder. Search the document and see if there are file names from both mods being used in the config.
Example: I moved the files from this mods "Mixed Races" folder into FMUGens "Italmed" folder. When searching the newly created config I see both files names being used, eg. "UP2ITALMED136" and "mix15".
Ex: <record from="Italmed/mix15" to="graphics/pictures/person/2002122611/portrait"/>
<record from="Italmed/UP2ITALMED136" to="graphics/pictures/person/2002092962/portrait"/>
I hope this helps. Creating your first .rtf file In-Game with the views and filters mentioned in the tutorial video can be confusing at first, but becomes very easy after you do it a couple times.
Just create an unemployed manager in your current save, go to Player Search, and use that tutorial video to create your first .rtf shortlist. Once you are finished with everything, you can reload your most recent save to get rid of the unemployed manager. You can download this instructions here

Discussion: Newgen Revolution V3 Update - AI Generated facepack
31 comments have been posted so far.
Yes exactly, combining faces from different mod packs will work correctly as long the images are distributed correctly in their respective NewGan races folders.
I have a question, about the use of NewGan manager: if I just drag and drop the files from these 3 versions of IA faces, into the already existing folders in NewGan update2, hoping my good sense works for the not specified races, and renaming the 2 folders u specified, it will works? Obviously, running the NewGan manager as usual..
Glad it worked. I'm aware of Zealands but don't plan to use it. The folders for FMUGen worked, I don't know the folder names for Zealands.
This Newgen Revolution pack has been great though, hopefully people can work out my mess of instructions and use multiple packs together.
I think we might be talking about two different facepacks. I am using the old Zealand one found here.
https://fm-base.co.uk/resources/newgan-facepack.1266/
In here (or somewhere else) there is a facepack including a lot of faces, and those folders are different to the ones you are using and calling FMUGens.
Also my NewGan works just fine without the FMUGens folders ;-)
The folder names in FMUGens download are the folder names required for NewGan to work. Other than the two you might need to rename by adding an "n".
You will just need to make your best judgment on the races/nationalities they should go into when adding image files to regions, all the mods did a good job distinguishing race with their folder names so its fairly easy.
All the folders with the FMUGen updates (1, 2, 3) should be named correctly and able to merge quite easily.
Just curious. If I wanted to combine all 3 packs (FMNEWGAN v2 + update 1, FMUGens and these v1+v2) be the same as, starting with FMNewgan, inserting pictures from all the other packs into these folders already created.
The small problem is, where the other packs go - Like North African, North Americans seems to be a specific one which is not present in the FMNewgan.
I suppose each country has been mapped to a folder, so I suppose changing or adding folders in the standard one would cause problems.
EDIT (these are the ones i just figured out)
EECA - Eastern European, Central Asian
MENA - Middle Eastern, North African
MESA - Middle Eastern, South Asian
SAMed is South American, Mediterranean
Also the different mods seem to have a included their faces differently.
Guess what, it works!
Your facepack has a similiar folder structure to FMUGens fackpack so its really easy. Just have to drag and drop the image files from your pack into the correct Nationality folders provided with FMUGens. Then run the NewGan manager how you normally would.
