Facepack Installer

Facepack installer is a new feature built into FMRTE that allows you to easily install facepacks into your game.

It automatically generates the config.xml file with all the mappings for your players/staff.

It can also copy the facepack files to the proper folder so that you don't have to do anything

Before we start, let's answer a few questions

Where can I get a facepack to install?

FMRTE does not include any facepack you must download them separately from several FM website, then use FMRTE to install it.

We suggest you try this ultra-realistic made by fm.zweierkette.de that you can download here:

• Cutout Faces (via Mediafire)
• Cutout Faces with Kits (via Mediafire)
• Download Staff Pack (via Mediafire)

Does FMRTE support any type of facepack?

Yes, FMRTE should work just fine with any folder with images

We also offer support for facepacks made for NewGan where we will apply the faces based on criterias such as ethnicity and nation.

Is this feature free?

Yes, you can use this feature in FMRTE for free.
