Facegen Error

Ian315 · 05-06-2020, 07:51 AM

hi,

this is probably a simple fix, or at least I hope so, but I'm having an issue relating to the facegen files.

I've downloaded one of the mods and posted the fg files folder into the FHM6 folder in my 'my documents' folder. I'll load up the game and the generated face files will work, but then for some reason randomly they wont and players will turn into weird face gen versions, rather than the accurate ones.

Now I can correct it by clicking on the picture menu and asking it to re-load it, but the sheer number which are going wrong mean I'd be spending more time doing that than actually playing the game lol

Is there something I'm doing wrong? And if so, how do I fix this?

kind regards,
A UK Hockey Geek (Ian)

What exactly do you get when it doesn't work? Is the face just different from the intended one, or is there something like parts of it missing or other graphical corruption?

It loads a different one from the intended one. There’s no issues with any graphical corruption. It just means that for example ( when using the Fg files from the mod section of this forum) it’ll load Jarry’s proper facegen, but then when I go to it later it’s changed to another facegen as if the FG file doesn’t exist.

If I click auto reload on the picture menu it’ll work, but only until it happens again.

On the file menu, go to setup/options and then the Facegen Settings tab. Are all of the 3 options on the right side of the screen checked?

Hi,

yep all three are ticked, so I've just doubled checked it, and then deleted all pictures in the player pics folder to start again and the same issue is occurring.

So for instance I got to the ducks, who existing player pics don't already exist, click on John Gibson and I get a random face gen rather than the FG file version.

Hmm, can't seem to replicate this, the .fg file keeps reloading properly every time I regenerate the player. Which mod, exactly, are you using? I'd like to check that to make sure it's not something specific to some/all of the files in it. And did you install the game to the default installation path, or somewhere else? I'm wondering if there might be some issue checking the file location after the first time it's used.

hi,

sorry for the slow reply. The pack I use is:

and in terms of install path it's installed in my documents, out of the park developments, FHM6 folder.

Everything I try from there seems to be working OK, e.g. I add the Gretzky one to \fg_files and it loads his face for Gretzky when I start a new game in 1981. Advancing the game, reloading the save, etc. still,gives me the same picture, and regenerating it just results in the expected variations in size and facial expression. Same thing with Gibson. If you can upload your save I'll try it with that - I can't think of anything save-specific that would cause that, but maybe there's something.

and just to check I've got the FG files in the right folder right?

JeffR · 05-14-2020, 03:19 PM

You have them in \Documents\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 6\fg_files, right?

Ian315 · 05-15-2020, 07:02 AM

yep that's correct.
