facegen

Hanson Bros · 07-03-2011, 08:00 AM

have a single player league going and there are no facegen pics ... when I go into game setup under player and picture options it says facegen not initialized and all the options are greyed out ...

did I miss something when setting up the league?

Limeade · 07-03-2011, 09:00 AM

from the main menu, under preferences, facegen tab. enable facegen.

Hanson Bros · 07-03-2011, 01:36 PM

thanks ... do I have to start a new league because after enabling that, nothing changed

endgame · 07-03-2011, 01:43 PM

Go to Preference, select Facegen and then select one of the troubleshooting modes. See if that changes anything.

Hanson Bros · 07-03-2011, 02:23 PM

neither trouble shooting mode worked in the current league I was running nor in a new league ... not sure what is going on

Hanson Bros · 07-03-2011, 02:29 PM

not sure if this matters but if I close out the game and re-open it the facegen mode always resets to disabled

endgame · 07-03-2011, 02:43 PM

Yeah, curious myself now. Before you uninstall and reinstall, can you find the config directory? If you can't, go to the game Preference, Troubleshooting, and click on the button that says something like Open file that contains app data. Navigate to the app file itself and open it, probably with Notepad. There's a line in there that says Enable Facegen, I think. It should have a 0. If it says 1, change it to 0, then close the game.
If for some reason it doesn't allow you to edit while the game's open, at least you will know where that file is located and make the change after you leave the game. Close and boot back up after you've done this.

The surprise in this for me is that neither troubleshooting modes changed anything. If we don't find a solution, make sure we get a ticket submitted.

Hanson Bros · 07-03-2011, 02:50 PM

okay did that but I don't have a line that says Enable Facegen ... I do have one that says Disable Facegen and that one is a 0

endgame · 07-03-2011, 02:51 PM

Okay, make sure that Disable line is 0 and the one below it, I think, Facegen Mode, is set to 1.

Hanson Bros · 07-03-2011, 06:14 PM

disable was at 0 ... facegen mode was at 3, changed it to 1 ... restarted the game and no luck, facegen was disabled and inside my league everything was still greyed out

endgame · 07-03-2011, 06:54 PM

Okay, something is very peculiar here, and I don't know what it is to be honest. At this point, I'd do an uninstall and reinstall. By the way, facegen has always worked for you before, right? Your saved game won't be affected but if there's something amiss in the setup, that should cure it. You're using the latest patch or setup version, too, right?

Hanson Bros · 07-03-2011, 07:00 PM

honestly I couldn't tell you if facegen has worked in OOTP12 but I know it did in OOTP11 ... I already tried uninstalling and reinstall and it's the same deal ... no idea on this one ...

endgame · 07-03-2011, 07:16 PM

Well, doggone it Hanson, I've reached all my first steps and nothing.

So, I'd submit a ticket on it and zip up your .dat files for the league and get them uploaded to make sure it's not an issue, though I seriously doubt it. You haven't made any hardware changes, right? Your graphics card is the same as it was in v11?

I'll think on it. Sometimes if I don't think about for awhile, something'll come to me we can try and I'll PM you or post here again. I'm sorry I couldn't have been more help.

Hanson Bros · 07-04-2011, 01:36 AM

hey you tried ... thanks for the effort

Hanson Bros · 07-04-2011, 03:02 PM

the thing I should have tried first worked ... "run as administrator" .... should always be the first option ... thanks again endgame for the effort

endgame · 07-04-2011, 03:55 PM

No problem. That one never crossed my mind because, using my laptop, I'd turned all of that off so I'm never asked. Great news and thanks for reporting back what did work. It will help others in the future, I am certain.

Hanson Bros · 07-04-2011, 04:12 PM

how do you turn that off?

endgame · 07-04-2011, 10:47 PM

In Win7, it's through control panel -> user accounts. I'm thinking, though, that you're using Vista?

Hanson Bros · 07-05-2011, 04:31 PM

no I have 7 ... do I just change the main user from administrator to standard?

Wish I recalled the details, but I think it was simply go the User Account, change the security settings (right click?) and adjusted a slider downward to Never Ask. If you don't see it, let me know and I'll go back, look at it, and grab a screenshot or give you better instructions.
