Do you have facepacks yet?


Also real names for competitions. Need that

"English Premier Division" ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Bellsprout]

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

No faces yet. Yet. I need to go somewhere with less ****ty internet for that, as the facepack I want to use is over 5 gigs.

And a no on the last one, too. If all that does is make it say "English Premier League" instead of Division, it doesn't seem that important.

It's like 10 kb text file. Just adds to the realism.

Yeah, it takes a minute. Delete existing folders, replace with folders from tiny file. Done.

Used to think the same thing, but damn it if I don't totally disagree. Adding real names like that increases immersion tenfold.

Facepacks...I still haven't done that. Well, I started once, but damn, I don't wanna leave my computer on for 10 hours.

It changes all the team names to be correct, league names are correct, and if following the installation instructions makes the German national team and Japanese national teams filled with non-fake players.

10 hours? You can get the 5.0 file in torrent form under 50 minutes. Unless you're still on 56K out there in Cavalier land.

Is there one that works retroactively, or do all of them require a new savegame, because hell if I'm starting a new one right now, I'm an away goal away from the Danish Cup Final!

all picture packs / logo packs / kit packs work retroactively, just reload the skin.

The editor data files, edt, lnc, etc. do not work retroactively though.

While procrastinating from a thesis statement on an essay i have to write tomorrow, I wrote a short blog about this game. Check it out.

The editor data files don't, but I believe the others just require you to exit FM and open it again. The German and Japanese squads should populate with real players next time that squad is called up.

You only need to do it once, though. Then you just copy and paste when next year's game arrives and download the update with the new players. So it may take you 10 hours now (but it should take much less if you torrent it) but for future versions it will take you less than 10 minutes.
