still preparing my next video and ahve some troubles with facepack installer.

Wanted to report it to you.

Good news : this is not (only) FMRTE fault !!

I found 2 problems with the facepack installer :

1st one is, it seems, there are facepacks who contains new subdirectory representation for ethnicity, some of them are not recognized by FMRTE (I understand they can not all be recognized !!)

some samples :

  • ultra realistic newgan (players and staff : 38900 files) already worked fine with FM24 / FMRTE24 (still work with FMRTE26)

  • Newgen Revolution megapack (5766 files, players and staff) works fine but poor in quantity

  • KT_Facepack (60745 files) same directory structure as the 2 previous one, but not recognized by FMRTE26 : "No face pack found" ?

  • NG_Regens (195472 files) more detailed file tree (see hardcopy joined) 58 subdirectories + staff + female

2nd problem is, that in case, we can generate config.xml file with facepack installer, FM2026 bugs !!

explanation :

the config.xml file generated by FMRTE contains record lines well-formed but misinterpretated by FM26 when the face to generate (ID of the player or staff) refer to a subdirectory image file (see joined hardcopy )

I submitted a correction request in the SIGames bug tracker (https://community.sports-interactive.com/bugtracker/1644_football-manager-26-bugs-tracker/all-other-issues/fm26-ignores-configxml-paths-containing-any-subfolder-or-subdirectory-r44300/)

I found a workaround permitting to made it working (very painfull workaround), I will speak about it in the next video I will publish on YT.

    just tried KT_Facepack : 60744 faces (up to day), works nicely : very, very good and nice idea to write a "config.xml" file in each of the original faces subdirectory, this undoes the FM26 bug which could not really read in the corresponding subdirectory !! (would be a great idea to rewrite FM26 by yourself no ?)

    tried NTGen facepack too (a bit long copying all the 184872 faces file from one SDD disk to the other one , but worked very nice)

    tried women team (Bridgwater Utd) though the facepack installer returned 20 persons selected (correct : team has 20 women in team 1) There were no config.xml generated in the WF subdirectory and (of course) no change in the team appearance

    NB : I will prepare an updated video (in some days) about this new version, I think it would be a good thing to automatically change the facepack folder to reflect the copied facepack folder with the name copied in the previous pass, this, avoiding to add multiple facepacks in same directory)

    NB 2 : could not verify why no women where impacted by the generated WF direcory as I could not check the gender value in the selected team
