After creating a player in the pre-game editor, is not possible to assign a face to the player.
I think you have to open the config.xml file and change some prefix line
You need to add "r-" before the ID number like this :

<record from="2002042569" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002042569/portrait"/>

And close steam and restart the game.

Perfect. Thank you very much for the help!

I tried to add r- before the id number but it doesn`t work for me. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

When I add a player in the pre game editor it get a ID number. Then when I start a new game, that player have a different ID number. Is that how it suppose to be?
I figured it out. I didn`t tick the image box in the settings.
I have saved the face I want to use in a folder called faces inside my graphics folder and renamed it the ID and then do what you have to do in the config file and closed the game and it still doesn't work - SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ticked the box in preferences "Show pictures of players(and staff) who have been generated by the game". It is in the audio/visual section.
Hi guys,

I need some help with adding some pictures, even after reading all of the above messages.

I’m having trouble adding real pictures to my (created) Ajax staff . I’ve done this successfully for previous years, but this year it doesn’t seem to work for me.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Saved each photo using the correct UID.png (even tried putting r- before the ID)
Used FMX to generate the config file
Added a new folder (with added photos + config) to my graphics folder


However, the pictures still aren’t showing in-game. I’ve followed the same process as previous years, so I’m wondering if something has changed for this year’s version?

Any help or updated instructions would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
