Yeah the other statements show ingame, but as I've mentioned in my other posts: There is a difference between all the other statements and this last one: I used to save the changes in CM12 before this one, which messed up my db (and squads file). So all the other statements have also been changed from CM12 (for example, when unticking the "has a generic face" option I would save the change in CM12). But for this last face, I didn't do that... and that's the only one that's not showing up in game.

Saving changes on the db doesn't mess up the db nor the squad files. They simply mismatch.
If you're not going to save in cm it's pointless to use it to insert the faces. If you don't want your squad file and db to be changed you need to use a copy of some of your pre-existing specific face files prior to your last save in cm and use rx3 master or texture editor to create the face files (you probably just need to make rx3's of the face and eye textures as all the other files in facepacks already are in rx3 format) then just paste them inside their folders and use the custom assignments.

But... why whould I need to go through all that trouble when the faces I downloaded already come with the right files?. I sue CM12 to speed up the process of copying each file into the right folder, with the right name (number).

I don't mean to be mean "dissectionalone" you've been really kind in trying to help me all this time, but none of your answers seem to be linked with my problem. It's like you're simply telling me how to copy the files, but that's not the problem here. I feel like you don't read all my posts in which I've described my problem with extreme details.

It's alright, bro.

I got your point. And I've provided you with the solution for your problem. If you don't save things after importing with cm it's the same as not importing at all... that's why it won't show results ingame. If you don't want to lose your squad file or change your db, then speeding up the process with cm won't do any good.
Your choices are:

1 - Use cm and save stuff, wich will mean you'll need to delete your squads file;

2 - Copy things onto their folders and use revolution mod, wich won't harm your db or you squads file;

3 - Having another copy of your db, wich you could use to save stuff in cm, and that way all you'd need would be use revolution mod to assign the faces; (won't harm your squad file or original db)

4 - Have another copy of Fifa 12 so you could do the same as in the previous option I mentioned but using the backup version's entire sceneassets folder to transfer stuff to the game you actually play;

As far as I understand the whole reason why Revolution Mod is so great is precisely because you don't need to lose your database, your career, etc! So if you use CM12 and save changes (for example, untick the "has a generic face" and proceed to give that generic player a specific face, then save the changes) it'll corrupt the saved career and things like that.

How's option 2 any different to what I'm doing now?. Instead of manually copying each file into their folders in sceneassets/ I'm using CM12 to do that.

And I don't fully understand options 3 and 4. I might try them to see if I get to understand them.

The thing is cm doesn't import stuff onto the folders untill you actually save things. That's why you don't see the results. Revolution Mod needs the files in the right places in order to work, so you need to put things in their places. If you want the option that gives less work, you need to copy your current db, rename it (name it something like fifa_ng.db_ORI or something like that);
Then change the name of the copy db to fifa_ng.db;

Open this db in cm using the "open select all" option in cm; Do all the changes you want on faces, etc. Hit save.

When you're done, change the name of the copy db and rename your original db fifa_ng.db;
Insert the statements in revolution mod and save.

 

[dissectionalone]

It's basically having 2 db files using the same sceneassets folder; One is your game database, the one you don't want to change and the other is the guinea pig or test db that would be used just so you can save things in cm.

 

[Chuny]

I understand... but I swear that the way I do it, CM12 does copy the files into the right folders. I have just double checked and the Ledesma files are in the right sceneasset folders, with the right names! And the statements are right in the player.lua file, so there's no explanation why in game it still shows the generic face!!!

*UPDATE* I just opened CM12 and Regenerated using CM12 (I usually always Regenerate with Fifa12 i68Regenerator 2.1.1) and now the game jumps to Windows when it reached to the EA SPORTS LOGO PRESENTATION. LOL, I'm really going crazy.

If I delete the folder Game\data\fifarna\lua\assets and re-regenerate the game works and I can see all the other faces (the ones I saved within CM12) but of course not Ledesma since that one wasn't saved in CM12. But if I regenerate WITH the folder 'assets' and with the file 'player.lua' in it, then the game crashes to Windows when the EA SPORTS LOGO PRESENTATION comes up.

It's probably due to the latest update made by EA. my game on one machine did that too. It goes to windows though the game is still open. Did you regen the bh files after installing revolution mod? if the arguments inside the lua files are correct, files are there and the id's match it should work

 

[red'']

assignPlayerSkinTone(176957,27) --felipe santana

skin_27_textures.rx3

is this right?

 

[dissectionalone]

looks right to me. You can assign skin texture id's higher than the database capacity (256 id's)

I've tried to test if one could assign the player's id to the skin tone, like what happens to other texture files (face, eyes, etc) but couldn't get it to show in game (probably couldn't hex properly) but I've used Id's as high as 900 and it works fine.

Well... I haven't installed anything from EA except EURO 2012 full game about a month ago. But no updates, or anything.

I can't remember if I regened about installing revolution mod. And believe me the statement in the lua file ARE correct.

 

[dissectionalone]

There are some people mentioning some trouble with the assignments after installing that euro 2012 ripoff dlc. I haven't seen the look of the game folder after getting euro 2012 so I'm not sure what's up but I'd say something when you installed that dlc made the assignments cease to function. Have you tried assigning a player boot to see if it shows in game?

 

[Chuny]

No, because I don't know how to do that...

The thing is that all the faces I've added (those that work and the one which doesn't) were added AFTER installing EURO 2012. I haven't even installed Revolution Mod BEFORE Euro 2012. So the fact that 20 faces worked AFTER saving changes in CM12, and only 1 face doesn't work when I didn't save the changes in CM12, is kind of revealing, don't you think?.

BTW you said "It goes to windows though the game is still open" but in my case the game isn't still opened when it crashes to windows. The game closes when it gets to the EA Logo presentation.

On my case the game was still running. Like I said I'm not sure exactly what that dlc adds to the game folder (besides that eurodlc(?) folder - I guess that's the name of the folder)

It's possible the dlc has its own lua files.

The game could be crashing because when you regen, cm can't access the euro bh files, but instead regens the regular fifa bh files...

 

[Chuny]

I understand, it makes sense. That'd also explain why all the other faces work: Because I saved the changes in CM12 for all the other faces, which adds everything in the DB itself, instead of "reading" the file from the folders. The only face which I didn't save the changes for, after unticking the "has a generic face" option in CM12 was this last one: Ledesma

 

[dissectionalone]

The only contact I've had with the dlc was content taken from it (2 bh files and the db with updates) and I've noticed that the db is different from the fifa main db (has a lot of tables that the fifa main db doesn't have and naturally doesn't have non-UEFA teams in it)

When you open in cm does it show you all the teams? the ones that came with the euro dlc + original game ones or just the original ones? this would help confirm the difference in bh files

 

[Chuny]

I think it contains all the teams (original + euro). Which should I look for specifially in order to figure that out?.

I mean, it has teams like Boca Juniors, Real Madrid, Argentina, Spain. But is there any particular one you want me to look for to confirm your theory?.

Check if it shows the Ukrainian team since the original fifa db doesn't have Ukraine on it.

 

[Chuny]

Nope then... Ukraine isn't in it!.
