Help, please

Hey guys. I have a question regarding face gen pics.
I just downloaded and created a lg with the cubby roster set.
It has all the real player pictures, but I want to use face gen pics. Can anyone tell, or point me in the direction to make this happen? I am fairly new at this and It's driving me nuts. Thank you.

Quick question. Have you downloaded the Historical FaceGen Image Pack from Padresfan's website? If not, you can download it here: http://www.jazzrack.us/mods/ootpmods...alFaceGens.tar

Note: This may take a while to download as this mod contains over 18,000 FaceGen images for historical and current players.

After the download completes:
1. Open the HFP Complete.rar file. You can use WinZip to open this file.
2. Next, you will see a list of folders. Open the "BASE SET" folder.
3. At the top of WinZip where it has File, Actions, View etc., click on ACTIONS then choose SELECT ALL.
4. Hold down your CTRL button on your keyboard and deselect the GENERICS folder.
5. EXTRACT the selected .fg files to your Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 12/fg_files folder.
6. Start OOTP 12.
7. In the OOTP 12 main screen, click on GAME PREFERENCES
8. In the PREFERENCES dialogue box, click on the FaceGen tab.
9. You will see an option for Picture Search Mode. Make sure it is set to "Search for PhotoFit (FaceGen) file first". Set the rest of the options to your choice. Click on OK.
10. Click on Continue or Load Game in the OOTP 12 main screen.
11. Click on the OOTP button drop-down on the top left of your screen then choose Game Setup.
12. Click on the Player & Picture Options tab.
13. On the right hand side you will see "Fictional Picture Options". Under that be sure that "Player Pictures for" is set to "All Players". Also be sure that the option "Create Player Pictures" is set to "On Demand". Set the rest of the options to your preference.
14. While in the Fictional Picture Options, be sure that the box is checked for "Load Player Pictures Automatically".

The FaceGen's should now load in place of the photos. Enjoy!

Note #2: My above instructions are for Windows XP, Vista and 7. If you are using Mac or Linux then further help will be needed as I am unfamiliar with those operating systems.

Here is how to use WinZip to open many files:

1. Open WinZip
2. At the top go to OPTIONS then click on CONFIGURATION
3. In the SYSTEM tab...on the left side you will see an option to "Associate WinZip With" checkbox. Check that box then click on "ASSOCIATIONS" button. This will open a WinZip Associations dialogue box.
4. Check as few or as many file types as you want WinZip to associate with.
5. Click OK then click OK again. You should now be able to unzip (open) an .tar file.

Additionally, you can set WinZip to associate itself with the following file types: .7Z, .B64, .BHX, .BZ, .BZ2, .CAB, .GZ, .HQX, .IMG, .ISO, .LHA, .LZH, .MIM, .RAR, .TAZ, .TBZ, .TBZ2, .TGZ, .TZ, .UU, .UUE, .XXE, .Z, .ZIP and .ZIPX.

I include these instructions as by default WinZip will not open a .tar file unless you associate it with the program.


If you need further help just holler.
