seagull84 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Has something changed with FM 24 regarding how to change these faces? I've followed exactly the instructions from old threads from fm22 and fm23 but can't for the life of me find a way to change these faces, is there a different setting in this iteration? Any help greatly appreciated! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagull84 Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 I have... but it seems there is no MAC version of Artmoney available and through the other route (changing a player face to silhouette with a number in - fm22) just isn't working at all. Wondering if there is another way to tackle this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if there is another way to tackle this? Most of the time the Unique IDs in the file from the game before are a bit behind where they are in new games. So it maybe be a case of updating the range of numbers in the config files which can be a pain, but you can start by looking at your Club Doctors ID and that'll give you an idea of the range/area the new Unique IDs are in. Other options include checking one number after your own manager Unique ID for personal assistant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagull84 Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 That's great thanks ... so I tried the Manager ID plus 1 and that didn't work.... the club doctor id seems to be very different to all the IDs that were thrown up by previous methods. Now I know the club doctor ID how can I use that to help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know the club doctor ID how can I use that to help? So that gives you an idea of what IDs need to be in your config file for the number image replacing faces method. Think this one is the highest Unique IDs i'd ever used/created - see if the Doctors ID is in there, if so could be worth trying to see if it helps the number/image method work. Should say the config is for the UID finder file with images 1 to 15000 config C.xml Edited October 21, 2023 by giglet13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know the club doctor ID how can I use that to help? That's interesting because thats the only one that I've been able to get to work! EDIT: It turns out that I put the wrong number into the config search, and I've now been able to get the Press Officer to work. Last year the Player Liason's ID was one more than the Press Officer, so I'm hoping that's now working (just waiting for a news item!). I've added the config that I've been using. I'm using the folder of pictures from 1-15,000 config.xml Edited October 22, 2023 by Watson156 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagull84 Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 I've worked out the issue (and come to the problem it's a pretty impossible solution) The problem was the file I downloaded from another site had .png files from 1-1000 but then replicated the coding thousands of times (so when my Press Officer was coming up as 320 there were thousands of entries for 320 making it impossible to identify the UID and it was such a huge file that reloading the skin would take forever) I could get it to work and get the face in but couldn't identify UID - it could be one of thousands and the file was unsustainably big to keep in. @Watson156 thanks for your file, that looks much better as there is no multiple entries so am going to give that a go now and see if it works.

seagull84 Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) EDIT- found what I needed. Basically I just downloaded a really bad file / how to on this initially that caused all the issues. Just needed to start the whole thing again. Thanks for the help it helped me through the logic Edited October 22, 2023 by seagull84 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagull84 Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 so I found how to do this and thought I'd update here incase anyone else comes across it. After the new patch all the Regen face now have "r-" in front of the unique ID so al I needed to do was go into the config and change the lines (like attached) ... the numbers didn't change, the format did.
