MEGAPACK Hosts and Links: [/url] <LINKS REMOVED> Premium download server might be down or slow at some points. Please be patient as demand is huge and that the site might be stopping users from downloading due to over-demand. Please be aware that there are NO plans for a torrent download at this stage so please refrain from asking for one. This pack will not have a Torrent and any talk of a torrent will be ignored. Posting links to a torrent will mean a warning or ban On the fmdownload.com link, download the latest "Complete Pack" This will include all previous updates & the original. The "New Faces" is for people that already have the Main Pack. We strongly suggest using a download manager to avoid frustration. (NOTE: Due to this pack's large size, they might take a while to download, please be patient) Preview of style: List of updates Download the Main Pack BEFORE the updates!

PLEASE READ THE ENCLOSED INSTRUCTIONS FOR FULL DETAILS. (I wrote them to be read) The idea behind this Megapack is that everyone downloads it and it gives us a base to work from, over time with each release we will replace older/poor-quality images with newer/better ones as well as filling in the blanks along the way. There is also a small mod available to remove the attribute analyser polygon and show a faded club logo behind a larger player image; like this: To apply this mod, download THIS FILE, unzip it and place it in Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2011\panels Also available now are new default images for those using the dark or retro skin. Download IMPORTANT: THE DARK DEFAULT FACES MUST BE PLACED HERE: My documents/Sports Interactive/FM11/Skins We have also produced the Face Icons Megapack, available here. This sister pack displays the tiny preview images you get in the game. If the Megapack Zip file becomes corrupted during download try THIS to fix the problem Sometimes you need to Re-install the game to get the Megapack to work properly or you may need to Extract SI's original images. To do so follow this video Tutorial HERE In some rare cases Clearing The FM Cache can help fix other problems. Try that HERE Any Problems downloading? Visit the HELP THREAD.

COOPER_NUFC Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Just like to say for anyone interested in this, it is a superb add-on for FM with the large majority of players having quality face cut-outs. Looks brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTry Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'd recommend editing your OP to include some screenshots and details of what nations the megapack covers as it will encourage people to download it if they know what it will look like in their game.

iTry Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Just realized the true scale of this pack! There's 44,616 player pictures in all covering a whole range of players. Over half of my Blue Square Premier team (that started out as a non-league side - see dafuge's challenge) has player pictures. My only criticism is that the folder is too large! I formatted my PC recently and it struggles to show all of the files due to the sheer size of it. Perhaps there is a way you could split the pack into subgroups such as league or nation?

I formatted my PC recently and it struggles to show all of the files due to the sheer size of it. Perhaps there is a way you could split the pack into subgroups such as league or nation? I don't think thats possible really, one of the reasons behind doing it this way was to cut out the amount of duplicate images and just have the best picture available for each player, which alone has probably reduced the size by over a thousand. What I've done personally is split the pack in two based on id number (so 0-5000000 / 5000001+) then with the updates I use a photo comparing program to make sure theres no duplicates, then stick it into fmxml to get the config.

I formatted my PC recently and it struggles to show all of the files due to the sheer size of it. Perhaps there is a way you could split the pack into subgroups such as league or nation? The reason for a megapack is so people don't have to download individual packs for each league. It's a one click solution to get them all at once. Splitting it up would defeat the object entirely. There are plenty of individual team/league/competition packs around at the various FM fansites if that's what you want. Many people prefer to download only what they need (like myself).

Mufckingud7 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I will be creating a new torrent when the updates reach 1.10 so when new users download the torrent they don't have to download 10 update packs, then after that there will be a new torrent when FM2010 arrives but those whom have followed this from day 1 or now have no need to download the new version of the torrent and or updates torrent. Please take your time and read the READ ME document as this will also help you to understand how the megapack works and show you all the cutters whom have helped build this huge pack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each update is to be extracted INTO the 1.MEGAPACK CutOut, thereby overwriting old images and the old config file. You also need to make sure you have changed your display settings in game. At the risk of sounding a bit rude, all of this is explained very clearly in the READ ME files included in every pack..... Please view it, and all will become clear.

Feedolover Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I just wanted to say that it has worked and on the whole the faces are fantastic, brilliant work from everybody involved just have one issue. Quite a few of the best players, such as Torres, Villa, Silva, Cristiano Ronaldo and many others such as Agger, Mascherano, Arbeloa, Babel, Lucas and Skrtel (Yes Liverpool were the first team i checked) do not have faces. I don't suppose you wonder why because i would be pretty certain that in such a massive megapack these players would be included Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suppose you wonder why because i would be pretty certain that in such a massive megapack these players would be included You are correct. All these faces ARE included. Do you have other packs loaded into your graphics folder with different config files that include these players? Could be conflicting... Other than that I know that some people have had a problem. (Only minority though, which I don't fully understand...) The way to fix this is very simple, but a bit of a pain. Re-install the game keeping your SI docs safe (ie, your saved games, graphics etc.) Everyone that has done so has found that this clears the issue. I'm not sure why this is, perhaps someone here can answer why, but it seems to "flush" the system and all should work fine after doing so. It's worth the effort though as the megapack is just about to to hit 50,000 faces - which can't be bad! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By moving (and thereby overwriting) the images into the main folder you are creating a NEW config file (with all the updated info in) as well as replacing old/poor cut outs with newer/better ones!!!! It is not a case of "copy & paste" anyway - Simply drag & drop the contents of the Updates INTO the main folder, this doesn't take too long (unless you are using a really slow computer) You will get a message asking if you want to overwrite a certain image and it should also give you the opportunity to accept ALL of those messages (tick box) and then you just click accept and let it do it's thing. I don't really see this as much effort to be honest - we've already done the work for you... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
