Historical Facegens: What happened?

G-Force · 02-11-2018, 07:15 PM

So I've searched and seen several threads asking about this, and several links to a file that doesn't load from ootpmods. There's a thread in the mod forum that's stickied but hasn't been replied to in months.

I do a ton of cross-era stuff, and while I've traditionally used real pictures, when I saw that historical facegens had gotten into the thousands I got excited and thought perhaps I would use them instead. But it seems there's nowhere to actually get the collection.

If I'm mistaken I apologize, but hopefully this is something still available.

I read that as it's just current. Does it just mean he hasn't added any historical players to the old set?

Thanks!

Are you using the Steam version or the version that you download from this site? If you're using Steam, I'm not well versed in it so someone else will have to help you. Read the instructions here and go to Add-Ons Central in your OOTP18 game and follow them there. I will cross my fingers and hope that "Historical FaceGen Image Pack" shows up as an available file for you to download and install in game. You might need the latest All-In-One Mod to get today's players FaceGens into your game. I now have over 30,000 FaceGens that I've collected over the years, and keep getting nice surprises when a Negro Leaguer shows up with his FaceGen, or an *** player shows up with his.

His pack contains 30,000+ files. I'm uploading my fg_files folder (which will take a couple of hours). It contains 36,000+ files (and includes the files in that other pack). When mine is uploaded, I'll post the link.

Thanks pstrickert! 6,000+ to add to the collection. Yes!

Awesome stuff, thanks.

ActionJackson, I don't even know what Steam is lol...I just went through the add-ons central in the game and it locked up, which I saw happened to a bunch of other people too.

This collection is excellent! pstrickert for OOTP Knighthood!

pstrickert · 02-12-2018, 04:48 PM

I downloaded the files from somewhere, replaced a small percentage of the files, and added the 30,000+ file from that other fellow (which supposedly included the new and updated files posted here and there). So, they deserve the credit.

G-Force · 02-12-2018, 05:41 PM

Awesome stuff! Guys I never thought would be in there are. Funny a couple of guys missing...Will Clark and Willie Wilson. Then there are obscure guys who are done. Pretty terrific stuff. Thanks again!

Silly question - when download the 36,000 + and put them in a saved game, it overwrites all of your current facegens. How do you know if some are different then the ones already in your current game. In other words, same player but different facegen. I don't know of anyway to view them.

Not a silly question at all. I've wondered about it as well. I just figure it's great to have a facegen for just about everybody, regardless of whether you boot a really good one for an OK one in the overwriting process. If I get really OCD about it, I could make sure the modern day super duper facegens don't get touched, but it seems like a lot of work (36,000+ facegens is a lot of facegens!) for not much payoff.

i have some remakes of players because in my opinion the set i have they dont look like the real player. i have yet to do anything with Pstrickets set. I'll wait for 19. here are some samples. I dont think I made that frank Thomas. Let me know if you want these. i have maybe 15 more.

Jeff1787 · 03-06-2018, 09:48 PM

I just got rid of everything and am now using pstrickert's. So far I am very impressed.

Who are the fab five? I can figure out Baines, Raines (frighteningly realistic), and Thomas, but who are the other two?
