Importing Manager Miniface

Jump to bottom

With the Live Editor you can import the minifaces for any manager that is controlling CPU team. Unfortunately it will not work on your manager (at least for now). The minifaces will be visible only when Live Editor will be working, so if you run the game without the tool you won't be able to see the new minifaces.

Game file format

To avoid any potential errors you should use the same image format and size as the game uses. FC 26 is using DDS (DXT5) textures, the height and width of image is 512px.

heads_staff_1067.dds
        width = 512
       height = 512
        depth = 1
    mipLevels = 1
    arraySize = 1
       format = BC3_UNORM
    dimension = 2D
   alpha mode = Unknown
       images = 1
   pixel size = 256 (KB)

Converting image

To convert the image manually I'm using paint.net which allows you to change format to BC3 (linear, DXT5) while saving the image.

As far as I know there are also Adobe Photoshop plugins and even online converters which can convert images to DXT5 format.

If you are a little more advanced user and you want to convert multiple images at once you can use ImageMagick command line.

For example, png to dds:

mogrify -format png *.dds

Importing the miniface via Manager Editor

Open Manager Editor

To open player editor:

  • Run the FC 26 Live Editor. (Getting Started Guide)
  • Load the game mode where you want to edit player
  • Press F9 on your keyboard to open the menu
  • From Features click on Managers

  • Find Manager and Click on Edit icon to start editing him

  • You can now edit the manager.

Importing miniface

  • When you are in player editor click on Manager -> Miniface -> Import Miniface

  • Then find the image on your disk, select it and press Ok to confirm

Errors

If you get an error or your game keeps crashing when loading minifaces then Deleting imported minifaces.

Next, make sure you import the miniface with correct file format and correct size. The most common error is casued because people isn't resizing their minifaces or they don't convert their images to DDS (they just simply rename png/jpg to dds) or isn't using same dds format as the game. If you are one of them then read these again:

Importing multiple minifaces

The Live Editor is loading the minifaces from:

  • C:\FC 26 Live Editor\mods\legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads_staff

You need to run the live editor at least once to have the C:\FC 26 Live Editor folder.

If you want to import multiple minifaces simply move the files to C:\FC 26 Live Editor\mods\legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads_staff For example, if you want to add face for Antonio Conte (ID: 1067) then put the miniface in C:\FC 26 Live Editor\mods\legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads_staff and name it heads_staff_1067.dds if you have visible file extensions in your system (I do have), if not then name it heads_staff_1067.

Deleting imported minifaces

Delete the images you don't want from:

  • C:\FC 26 Live Editor\mods\legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads_staff
