Mons Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 It's because of the fake.lnc file in D:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\football manager 2012\data\db\1200\lnc. Just delete the all folder and you'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mons Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Santa has decided you have all been good enough this year and that you deserve a Christmas present worthy of its name. So, without further ado, I am happily announcing the release of 4.03, which is downloadable from fmdownloads.com as usual. It is slightly larger than usual, with 3,764 new or improved images for a file size of 170 MB. This update pack takes the total image count in the MP to 96,992. Merry Christmas everybody!!

cragswfc Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 can you talk me through it step by step with new faces i got all 4.0 no problem just need new faces but what do i do from there??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mons Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Have you downloaded the full 4.0 pack which brings you to iirc around 92,000 images? If yes, and everything is working correctly, then you need to download 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03, in that order and place them, again in that order. You need to copy THE CONTENTS of the update pack into the main megapack folder and agree to overwrite any duplicate images. You should only have ONE folder with all the images in there. At the end of the whole process, you should have a folder with slightly over 97,000 images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampler Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks a lot. After using the Panini-Style pics for some years now, i decided to switch to this style, for it better goes together with the Newgen pics. When i get home, i will start downloading 4.03 complete <--- is that right? Cheers for your superb work!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mons Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Yep, to download the whole file, you need to be a premium member or download it via split files. If you download the full file, I strongly suggest using a download manager to ensure the file does not somehow corrupt itself mid-download. Alternately, you could download the torrent file and then the update packs in order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampler Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Alternately, you could download the torrent file and then the update packs in order. Thats what I did! But: I deleted the config file in the update packs and made a new one using FMXML. Works perfectly! Next: Downloading the regen players/coaches faces Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny7 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 does 97,006 files sound about right after 4.03??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufckingud7 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 does 97,006 files sound about right after 4.03??? Yes that is correct as you won't have removed a couple of bad files or duplicates that don't show in game and not in config so don't worry about that, enjoy the game with new graphics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mons Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I am very happy to announce the release of 4.04, which is downloadable from fmdownloads.com as usual.

Mons Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 You're not reading the readme fully; just skimming through it. Initially extract them to a temporary location like the Desktop. Then copy the contents of each downloaded file IN ORDER to Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\graphics\Megapack 4.0. The last two folders may need to be created. Once that is all done, you should have one folder with over 99,000 images and a config.xml file. Turn off the skin cache in the preferences -> Display and Sound menu and tick the 'Always reload skin on confirm' option to get the images to show in the game.

I have removed the config file that came with it and made my own with fmXML but ive noticed that the config file is bigger than the one that was already with the megapack, what have i done wrong? Are there mutilple duplicates int the pack or something so thats why its bigger? Please someone helpme as its really bugging me not knowing why this is happening.

Mons Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 How much bigger is it? I used fmXML to generate the config so there is really no reason why it should be larger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty1974 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well the original that came with the megapack is 6.83mb and the one i generated is 7.12mb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mons Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 How many images in all do you have in your MP folder? I'm not on my own PC so can't check, but is the 6.83MB config the size of the one with the latest update pack? Or is it the one with the original 4.0 file?

scotty1974 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 6.83mb is once updated to 4.0.4.............my own config i made is 7.12, i have 99.088 images Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mons Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Where did you place the folder? The readme clearly states that the MP should be placed in Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2012 > graphics. Looks to me like you put it in the game installation folder.

R.P. McMurphy Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thank you for great megapack! Pack works well with Finnish teams too. There is a lot of faces!

Mons Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Visit our cut-out faces forum on sortitoutsi.net . We have a number of threads in which you can request individual images (either missing or improved images) and whole teams. We've got a good number of excellent cutters and researchers but are always looking out for new faces to help us out.

Mufckingud7 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 backup the contents of the folder containing the game save or rename it then delete the other, once done load fm it will create a new folder then add the backup contents to that folder and then follow instructions to add this megapack. windows 7 sometimes creates 2 folders for FM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbaz2a Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 thanks for the advice, this doesnt seem to work either, the pictures from the MP are showing up great, so no complaints about the MP, I suppose i could just look for an SPL pack now aswel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mons Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 You can go swivel if you think I'm helping you, to be honest. Learn to read, yeah? I'm not expecting appreciation for the countless hours of free time we spend on this pack for the benefit of the community, but neither do I expect the downright ignorance and self-entitlement by the user above.
