Mons Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 With an estimated 24 hours to go until the release of the FM15 beta version, we are absolutely delighted to announce the official release of version 7.0 of this Cut-Out Faces Megapack. It is, as usual, available from this page. As with previous years, the file is available for download by non-premium members of sortitoutsi via torrent at the bottom of the above page, as well as through the usual mirror sites. Premium members are naturally able to download the whole file from our servers. For those who believe they were up-to-date with all previous releases of the megapack, they can download the 7.0 update pack file only, which bridges the gap between 6.10 and 7.0. The megapack now contains cut-outs for 151,570 persons within the FM world We hope to have a 7.01 update pack available before 7 November, when the full version of FM15 is released. I'd like to thank everybody involved in the creation, administration and maintenance of this pack, mostly the cutters themselves who do a fantastic job to help make the game we love a little bit more realistic. I do not foresee any problems with installing the pack, as I fully expect the installation procedure to be similar if not identical to the previous years. Of course, we will provide more info once the beta is actually released, but in the meantime, you can start to prepare for the game already by downloading this file Preview of style: The file is available from the cut-out faces megapack download section on sortitoutsi.net * Premium Members of sortitoutsi will be able to get a single click download. * If you are not a premium member, we suggest using the 7.0 torrent file if you are downloading the complete pack from scratch. Please note, that the torrent is only for the base 7.0 pack. So download that and then download each update pack in order. Contains 151,570 images of staff, officials & players from all around the world. *after the 7.0 update pack has been applied This is a stand-alone pack intended for use with FM15, but it will work with all versions of the game from FM09 onwards. The idea behind this Megapack is that everyone downloads it and it gives us a base to work from. Over time with each update pack, we will replace older/poor-quality images with newer/better ones as well as filling in the blanks along the way. Also available now are new default images for those using dark skins. Sortitoutsi link IMPORTANT: THE DARK DEFAULT FACES MUST BE PLACED HERE: My Documents/Sports Interactive/FM15/Skins The cut-out version of the default 'empty' images are available here. We have also produced the Face Icons Megapack, available from the cut-out faces megapack download section. This sister pack displays the tiny preview images you get in the game. We're also delighted to provide the new; Megapack Picture Search Tool HERE Just type in the UID of the image you are after and will bring up the current MP image (along with any previous versions of that player, eg. Cristiano Ronaldo - 735216) A massive thank you to Rob who has spent a lot of time working on this behind the scenes. It is available to all sortitoutsi members, and you will need to be logged in to use this function.

Mons Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 There were 15,000 new images added since the release of the fm14 megapack.

WarroOxford Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Don't believe I've done anything incorrectly as I've been using these excellent facepacks for a couple of years now, but for whatever reason they just will not show up on FM15. I had to manually create the "graphics" folder myself which I've done in the past without issue. I've reloaded the skin, cleared cache, all the usual stuff etc. Can anyone else confirm they correctly installed it so I can maybe see where I've gone wrong? Cheers.

Chewy2006 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 After deciding to just try and download the updates from 6.1 upto 7 I soon scrapped that idea as with the German site they were uploaded to I could only download 1 per hour if I was lucky so it would of taken me all night to do so. I then went for the torrent and to my surprise it only took me an hour to download the new meg pack which is great considering last year took me 3/4hours with a great broadband speed and years precious it has taken 3/4 days! With a rubbish broadband but overall not complaining and again top work again from the guys and makes fm much more enjoyable than with the blank faces on a players screen. I was just wondering tho if like with the updates for the mega logo pack aswell why they ain't uploaded to a better site than the German one something like mediafile would be great then we can download more than one at a time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I download 7.0 now, does it have all the images from 6.0 to 6.10 as well as 7.0? It does indeed. Or you could download the 6.01 to 6.10 update packs plus the 7.0 update pack, but it's much easier and less fiddly to just download the main pack tbh After deciding to just try and download the updates from 6.1 upto 7 I soon scrapped that idea as with the German site they were uploaded to I could only download 1 per hour if I was lucky so it would of taken me all night to do so.I then went for the torrent and to my surprise it only took me an hour to download the new meg pack which is great considering last year took me 3/4hours with a great broadband speed and years precious it has taken 3/4 days!

I was just wondering tho if like with the updates for the mega logo pack aswell why they ain't uploaded to a better site than the German one something like mediafile would be great then we can download more than one at a time The thing is that the sites we upload to allow us to customise how it gets delivered and to generate and add the files automatically with each release, by adding some code (this is not me being deliberately vague, but I don't take care of that side of things as I'm not that technical-minded!). mediafire, localhostr, sendspace etc, don't allow us to do so and this would see us having to individually generate and upload every file for downloading, which is not very practical... Trying to download the torrent but cant get anything faster than 50kb on my 8mb connection Sorry to hear that but it's probably an issue at your end. Perhaps people aren't seeding at the moment and hopefully the download speed will increase gradually. People in this thread (and elsewhere) are saying they downloaded it in 3 hours or less, and I've never known a megapack release go so smoothly, so it can't be related to the torrent itself...

If you've downloaded the 7.0 megapack, then you don't need to download anything else, you should be sorted with it. The 7.0 update pack is only to be downloaded by those who were up-to-date with previous updates. What file did you download and what size is it? Either way, if it's the 7.0 update pack, it's a file with around 3,500 images and shouldn't really take you hours to transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skipping pig Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Wasn't working for me.

Mons Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Just to clarify, you should NOT install this megapack in the Steam installation folder but within the Documents user data folder.

Mons Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Windows is saying it can't open the file; that's different from "windows can't download the file", as you said. You evidently haven't ever used torrents before, so please read the below. For those who have never used torrents, in the vast majority of cases, it's just a question of downloading the client program (a small file, less than 1MB) and then downloading the 6.0 megapack torrent file (a tiny file, around 20k) and then letting the program do the job.Torrent files need a torrent client to be downloaded. I personally use µTorrent but other common clients are BitTorrent, Vuze and Deluge. For those using torrents for the first time, here is a general walk-through on how to download torrents and a specific guide for µTorrent. Be aware that it will take a substantial amount of time to download the file due to its sheer size and that other people depend on you hosting the file to get it so please leave your torrent client on after you have fully downloaded it. It's generally accepted that the correct etiquette is to upload as much as you download, although this might not always be possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mons Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm afraid you haven't really explained yourself well. I've no idea which pack you've previously downloaded and if it was in this style. If it was, you should have all the images in one folder and not split separately, unless you know what you're doing. Which version of the cut-out megapack do you currently have and how many images do you have in the related folder? Screenshots would help tbh...

watsonsclarets Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ok cheers i downloaded a back from around 3 years ago not a cut out pack and just kept moving it from one fm to another i did with 15. I then for the first time downloaded the cut-out megapack the latest one and got rid of my old pack. But because my old pack from 2009 season premiership pack now all players who had pictures in that pack do not show up in the game just players who where not in the pack.

All the other players work just not the new ones at all so like say van persie does not work but a new player to the league like Ings works if you get my drift.
