I must be blind.
Which set is it ???

I´m looking at when this was added about 26/4 2011 and I can´t find which one.
The one from HFP Team is from 2010 in the FaceGen folder.

Help me out I´m surely blind or stupid (perhaps both)


PS I was blind or just lazy. Ididn´t notice Padresfans splitted the Facegens into Modern and historical and some more. Just a little look further down the site I found it.
Sorry for the mess

I still got some problems after DL all the fg-files into the fg-file folder.
Using Base set and Gambos and still I can´t get any pictures.

I set the Game Preference
FaceGen Enabled
Picture search mode to Search to Photfit(Facegen) first

Inside the Game Setup I tried all the in the League setup under the Fictional Picture functions. Updates and all

However when I look when I look at Game Setup / Player & Picture Options I see that Fictional Picture Option is disabled !!!!
saying facegen is not initialized ???
I do have a tick in the boxes for Load Photfit first

What in heavens name did I do wrong.
I have never used these Facegens before but only right photos of players so this is new ground and I am stuck for the moment.

Any help please

I did restart but still problems and no pictures.

1st make sure they are not in any subdirectories in the fg_Files folder.

The facegen not initialized would by my 1st concern.

Try running the facegen mode it in troubleshoot mode 1 or 2 and see what happens.

Well Gambo
the fg-file folder is only filled with your fg-files. No other folders.
I started in troubleshooting mode 1
and first this is the setup, and the OOTP Prefernce

The last photo is showing the info on looking at Jose Canseco
Some messup with some default-player-photo.jpg

Will this lead to some clear AHA from any of you clever guys.

Whenever I try to pick face-gens in the setup everything looks good but the end result is the same. "shaded" selections and face-gens not initialized.

Whatever next step to take.

Inside the troubletracin file is says like this

12:11:26 myfacegen: myfacegen object created
12:11:26 MYFACEGEN::init: Could not load fg file
12:11:26 startup: error during myfacegen->init()
12:12:11 error_msgbox: startup - Facegen disabled: myfacegen->init() failed
12:12:11 myfacegen: myfacegen object deleted

so one or another file in the fg-files is missing. I only have the fg files you had in your package. Should I have another file in this folder that didn´t come from this huge zipfile ??

[Carlton]

Thank you so much for this...what a great add on! I appreciate it!!!

Are there plans to have a naming scheme text file? Such as Michael Lynch would be the pirate, the Cub would then be Michael L Lynch or something?

I'd like to see their player ID # used to define who gets which fg or their baseballreference.com ID.

BTW both Mike Lynch's have a middle initial of J
So Mike Lynch Cubs could have the fg attached like Mike_Lynch_lynchmi01
& The Pirate could be Mike_Lynch_lynchmi02 and the game would recognize who is who, then we woulnt have to have 9 Ramon Martinez' in the game each with a different middle initial.

[Gambo]

The databases provided in game now use a system where there a no duplicated names. The naming in the latest version of the project uses this system also.

Sorry, I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to this stuff. Can someone please provide a step-by-step guide on how to use this Facegen pack?

I downloaded the file from the OOTPMODS.com website. I saved the file "HistoricalFacegens.tar" into my Owner>Documents>OOTP Developments>OOTP Baseball 12>fg_files folder.

Now what do I do? Is this even where its supposed to be saved? What is a .tar file? How do I turn this .tar file into all of the individual .fg files? It seems like I am missing a huge piece of the puzzle here. Is there a Readme file that comes with this download?

How do I get my current historical league to start using this file? Do I have to save it in my League folder somewhere?

Thanks!

Always backup your league before you start in case you don't like the outcome.

You need to "unpack" the .tar file with a program that will handle it. I use 7-zip but you could search on it and find something that works for you. You can then open the .tar file in this program and extract all files to your .../OOTP Baseball 13 folder. The extract will place the files in the /fg_files folder.

Next, open your historical league and navigate to League Options, Player & Picture Options. Check the fictional picture options and set to your taste. If you want everybody to have a facegen, set to all players, upon player creation, and always if needed. Check the box for Load PhotoFit (FaceGen) files automatically and, IF you don't want any real photos in your league, un-check the box for Load player pictures automatically. Next, press the button for Force Update/Generate All Player Pictures. It might take a while depending upon the size of your league but you should have facegens after this process.

Thanks Orcin! I followed your directions and everything appears to work.

BTW, Go Cards!

What file exctly do I extract this .tar file to?? (using 7zip).

[meade95]

I DL and used 7zip to extract flies into my MyDoC/OOTP13/fg_files folder - It placed Fg files into this folder -

Yet, I don't really see any players with their correct images within my 1995 league - For example there are no black players showing up it doesnt' appear - Or really any correct players for the 1995 Braves.

Obviously I must be doing something wrong here...

Fred McGrif, David Justice and Greg Maddux I guess are three people for example that don't show up (maybe they just aren't included).

[AESP_pres]

Just a fast guess, are your file in the subfolder just like the screen capture attached to my post? If so, you need to copy their contents in the fg folder. If I remembering well you go in this order : Base set / SpritzeGambo / Additional /Consolidated

All the players you mentioned are included, most of the missing players are from the 19th century and the early 20th century.
