Graphics > Faces doesnt work on ID:200204....

[verhallen10]

I am still waiting for an update to provide the generated players with an image. This was supposed to be fixed in an update, but I still don’t see any results. For example, talents for which FM26 itself does not yet have an image, usually starting from ID:200204….

You need to put the config.xml file along with the pngs directly into the graphics folder. Putting them into a subfolder will result in some custom faces not showing.

Yes i have done this. There is no sub file in graphics. I once found this is still a bug, but i hope there is another fix for it.

Ok, but what exactly is happening? No newgen faces are showing?

I'm not sure what you're doing, but I've had no problems with this.

Just download a newgen face pack. Or you update images yourself. I do that with Everton making sure all (if possible) youth players have faces.

I'm having the same issue, despite having the pngs in the graphics folder and config file set correctly, any players or staff with ids starting 200204 just don't get the photos applied and either remain without faces and just have the black outline photo or have a random generated shrek face.

So for a better example in my config I have:

<record from="face_2002042946" to="graphics/pictures/person/2002042946/portrait"/>

In game the image does not appear for the player.

If the missing pictures are for newgen players or staff, you need to add "r-" to the ID.
Like this:
<record from="face_2002042946" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002042946/portrait"/>

Does that apply to players and staff I’ve added myself with the pre-game editor, rather than people the game generates each season? As it’s the people I’ve added to the game that have these ID ranges that just don’t seem to work with the photos, and they worked fine in past versions of FM.

I've never added entities via editor, so I can only guess, but the system for adding pictures to FM is quite simple, you need a proper config.xml file in the right place and specify which pitcure should be used for which ID.
One thing I would try is to shorten the PNG filenames and avoid using letters in them, only numbers.

Also, as I mentioned before, FM26 has some issues with config.xml files located in subfolders in the graphics folder. I had problems with some custom player faces not showing, and putting the xml file along with the PNGs directly into the graphics folder solved the problem.

Other than that, maybe visit the Skinning Hideout on the official forum, these guys surely know more than I do.

I have created some players/staff for Ajax with the editor. I do this since FM2021. So the files are correct. And it works with players that are in the game. Only players created starting with ID 200204 are not working. FM24 was only clear cache and go, now it is not working anymore. I found some forum that they are working on it, but cannot find any update

The previous post has highlighted some very good advice, its probably not the pictures, but where they are placed. Its the file structure.

I tested it, but still no faces from the self created players. I have also added Patrick Berg(id:53099570) and his face is now in the game.
