Football Manager Cut-Out Megapack

[RowRow78]

It doesn't say anything about creating any folders.

"Installation Instructions:"

"Once downloaded, place the Megapack folder here:"

"> My Documents>Sports Interactive>Football Manager 2009>graphics>faces"

That's all it says.

I posted a new READ ME file that made things clearer about 10-15 posts ago on this thread... anyway HERE it is again

Just found it, thanks.

[dking]

Got it up and running now.

Thanks to all involved for taking the time and effort to put this together. Great job!

so confusing , where is just 1 download with the whole thing?

[Mufckingud7]

so confusing , where is just 1 download with the whole thing?

use the torrent for single download, then add the updates to the pack 1 at a time.

Direct link is not going to be available for a while now that we have been having problems findinh a host and we don't have the cash to upload to direct links which would make users pay for something that is created by the fans for the fans

Thanks for the facepack it is fantastic .

I have one problem though and was hoping you could help me. The faces you get as standard on the game are now gone the likes of the spanish league, Dutch etc i have tried a unistall and reinstall but that has not helped.

Any ideas and thanks again for a superb facepack.

In some cases, better-quality images have been cut out and used to replace the default photos released with the game. You should, however, still be able to view them.

The facepack pictures work but the default faces are not there.

Like this

But the facepacks work great and look like this

[col_nufc1]

Both the default and megapack facepacks are now working i had to delete the cache in app data .

I am having trouble with updates 2.1 and 2.3. When I go to extract them, it says "Unexpected end of archive" and only shows one file. I have tried both the Firefront and Mediafire downloads and both are the same. What is the problem?

you need 2.2 as well, but for the prroblem it maybe the file has not completely downloaded to your pc it might have said it was completed but it has cut out half way through meaning try again

I've tried a couple of times and had the same problem when extracting (2.3 only). Which dk link of the two have people got successful downloads from for 2.3 (i.e. working in game)

have you done everything you did in FM and untick cache reload etc also have you got all the files in the pack still?

MP v2 has a total of: 55803 files in it with 3 being the config a must have the read me instructions and a logo of the MP itself.

If there is no config file you will just need to download and install the MP updates 2.1 copy the contents and overwrite all then 2.2 then 2.3 once this is done then you shall be able to view the pictures.

I hope this helps if not report back with what you have done so far etc.

2. Navigate to : “Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\

3. Go into the “Sports Interactive” Folder.

4. Go Into the “Football Manager 2010” Folder.

5. Delete the "Cache" folder inside.

Wndows Vista/7:

1. Click “Start”

2. Click your username on the start Menu

3. Click on “AppData” and then “Roaming”

4. Go into the “Sports Interactive” Folder

6. Delete the "Cache" Folder inside.

i got it, thanks!

GREAT facepack, keep up the good work.

[Barkermush]

Is anyone else having any problems with the 3rd update? I have downloaded from both mediafire and filefront several times, deleted my cache files and tried using winrar and 7 zip. But it just won't extract the archive?

Comes up with a unexpected end of the archive error with winrar, and when i actually try and extract the file it says 'The archive is either a unkown format or damaged'

When i try and extract it with 7zip it just says 'Can not open file megapack update 2.3 as an archive'

[Grieveso]

you should have the megapack unzipped...

Documents/SportsInteractive/FootballManager2010/Graphics/Megapack2.0

then unzip update 2.1 and open the folder to view the contents (pictures) copy the pictures not the folder but also the config file must be copied then paste....

Documents/SportsInteractive/FootballManager2010/Graphics/Megapack2.0

and 2.2 and 2.3 in order do the same i hope this helps

[Grieveso]

Thanks for your help. think ive managed to do it. So do i need to do anything else or is that it done?

[Mufckingud7]

[Bealesy]

Hi there just wondered if anyone could be so kind and upload them to Rapidshare as the previous links are not working. Thanks in advance.

[RowRow78]

Morning all, new update:

Contains 2,805 new or improved images

Mediafire / Filefront

Again, massive thanks to mons who is now collecting and sorting the images, and as always, thanks to the amazing cutters who put all the time into making this Megapack one of the best add-ons for the game ever!

[ChrisNUFC]

Thanks again for another great update.

Are you sure Aaron Spear's new picture is of Aaron Spear and not of his brother Ray Spear? Seems totally different from whenever I've seen him.

Fair comment, we rely on what the cutters provide, but we'll look into this and if it needs fixing will be done in next update.

I would encourage all these types of points be addressed over on the home of the Megapack - sortitoutsi.net as the relevant people will see it there.

Visit the Cut-Out Sub forum where you'll find us all.

EDIT: Spoke to the cutter, and the image was taken off a personal profile site and is 100% him. Must just be wearing his hair differently.

[TheUsualSuspect9]

When I get the updates, and take the picturs out of the folders and put them in the Megapack 2.0 folder, do I replace the config file aswell?

Hmm fair enough! Left the comments here as I can't really be bothered to sign up for ANOTHER website at the moment. Ah, I've seen where the picture is from, it is him.

Guys, can anyone help me. I'm having this same problem.

I've cleared the cache and reinstalled it a few times. If I remove the megapack I can see Messi's picture (for example) and then as soon as I add the megapack, I cant see a bunch of pictures anymore such as Messi.

But I can ofcourse see the pics that it adds, it just seems to mess up a bunch!

any ideas?

You are supposed to put all the updates INTO the main megapack folder and not in separate folders. Hence, each update will replace some images, include some new ones and update the config. You should have only ONE folder.

Follow this video guide I made to extracting SI's original pics, this should help with the problem.

Oh, and The UsualSuspects9 - Yes each config file included in an update is designed to overwrite the main one, so ALWAYS except ALL overwrite warnings.

[jim morrow]

SO in conclusion, all photos from original pack and updates must be in a same folder ???? so we need to extract and copy ourselves the new photos ?

cause when I extracted update 2.1 to 2.3, here are the folders than I have now :

Documents/SportsInteractive/FootballManager2010/Graphics/Megapack2.0

Documents/SportsInteractive/FootballManager2010/Graphics/Megapack2.0/Update2.1

Documents/SportsInteractive/FootballManager2010/Graphics/Megapack2.0/Update2.2

Documents/SportsInteractive/FootballManager2010/Graphics/Megapack2.0/Update2.3

Correct - you have not followed the instructions included with each update. Simply move/copy/drag the CONTENTS of each update INTO your Megapack "Base" folder, accepting ALL Overwrite messages.

Each Update includes many improved images and a new config file which enables the whole thing to work, if you just drop the update folder into the MP "base pack" whole it will stop everything from working properly.

rowrow perhaps I have not explained myself that well.... the megapack works, but the original photos do not. what I want is that the original photos also work...

Got it sorted, unbelievable facepack! Ive been playing FM for about 10 years and this is without doubt the best graphics pack Ive ever seen.

Top, top work

[asus]

And do what I say in the video and the original (Sports Interactive in-game) photos will.

I saw the video and did what you said. but what will I do to work in the game?

excuses my English and to be a noob in these things

Ensure the pack is in the right folder, do the tick & untick stuff and reload game. Not sure what else to suggest if you have already re-installed the game, it works for most other people....

Thanks for the kind words TheUsualSuspects

[Rams_]

Does this contain manager and coach faces?

[RowRow78]

Does this contain manager and coach faces?

Yes. It does...and Phyios...and refs...and Directors...

[i Love United]

Hi, do you a config.xml file attached to them? Unless you do, the game cannot 'read' them.

[deshwl_93]

just had it up and running nicely thanks to all that made this possible =)
