Is really strange.

Do you see other kinds of faces or no one?

Of course, the ID number is used for loading faces, you should have a config.xml in any directory with a structure like following

...     <record from="10070" to="graphics/pictures/person/10070/portrait"/>
        <record from="10074" to="graphics/pictures/person/10074/portrait"/>
        <record from="104086" to="graphics/pictures/person/104086/portrait"/> ...

Try to uncheck the box "Use cache ..." in the setting of the game, or try to duplicate the directory "players" into another subdirectory of "...picture/players/"

Hi @brunino!!

I have one .xml archive named as WORLD1992.xml When I click twice on it, an Internet Explore window opens and this is what it's shown:

How could I fix this and being able to see the players' faces?

Hola.

Alguien puede decirme donde se colocan los archivos? Veo que hay varios .data y no sé donde van. Funciona bien en el juego?

Gracias!

Hola @sergisty:

Los archivos tienes que colocarlos en la siguiente ruta: Mis Documentos > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2008 > db.

No @ReySol24, that is the starting xml file. That is OK, is necessary to load the game. I'm speaking about any config.xml you should have inside any of the directories inside the zip file. You should have like in following image http://i.imgur.com/RGvmJtw.jpg . if you miss them, I will send you once more.

I have that zip file you said. That's what I placed in the "players" folder, as you said. Did I do something wrong?

Yes, it's OK. if you have a config.xml file in each directory you should see faces.

I have not FM08 installed on this PC, so I cannot verify directly, but it could be a check or a control in "game options" for selecting or not selecting faces in game. In some FM version i remember it was. Do you use a particular skin?

I have that config.xml file... but I still can't see the faces. How that .xml file is created?? I can't see how in the data editor.

BTW, I discover some "jokes" on the WORLD1992 DB. In the Espanyol's squad, for instance, there're two players: Javi Cantero and George Sanders who aren't footballers. Javi Cantero is a Spanish singer and George Sanders a British actor (he starred The Village of the Danmed and co-starred All About Eve, alongside Bette Davis, on of the very first Marilyn Monroe's works).

It's really strange.

However, I think that I made the xml files using "FM Graphics Configurator v1.2" that you can download HERE

For mistakes ... probably are more than a couple ... but a singer can play football too, like an actor ...

I remembered having downloaded that program, but deleted it because I didn't know how it worked! I'll give it a second chance!

I'm now created missing players on your database and have a question. How do you decide the current and potential values? Randomly or what?

The decision of CA and PA is linked to the value of the team in excel file. Inside you should find a table in a page in wich, for the nation you need, math formulas rebuild how many PA-10 or PA-9 players any team should have according the strength around 1992. For CA I used the age: a <20 player could have-6 (if not yet famous), a player >20 and <22 could have -7, and so on. Of course, if you know him and you know his strength, use your knowledge, but always respecting the strength of the team calculated in excel file.

Use without problems FM graphic configurator, is easy and safe.
