-These are some of the questions I think you are going to ask me, but I present to you somehting I have been working on,  **Comfy FM24 NewGens**
-# The Idea
-Taking some inspiration from  [fm-ai-face-generator](https://github.com/emilmirzayev/fm-ai-face-generator), but not wanting to pay for a hosted service (I already have AI  _stuff_  setup on my home server) I started to rewrite chunks to make compatible with a hosted Comfy UI instance, after awhile, I had rewritten so much, that this is now a new beast in itself..
+  
 
-Also taking inspiration from  [NewGAN-Manager](https://github.com/franl08/NewGAN-Manager)  and reworking some of thier code for my uses.

 Thanks to both!

 So what does this do? Why would you want to use it? (you probably wont but personally, I like a bit more personallisation from my NewGens, some, I get quite attached to :) )
 
- -   This will create images for your NewGens, based off of information provided from the FM database, making a players image more unique to that player
- -   download the images to the specified output directory, all processed players image will be saved as their  **uid**  from the game
- -   remove all the background from the generated faces
- -   create the needed config file for FM to load the faces,
- -   you can then rename the generated folder and place it in your  **graphics**  folder as you would noramlly and voila!

 # Install Guide
 
-- Use Git to checkout this repo
-- You need to get a `rtf` file of the players you want to add images for, to do this you need the view and filter supplied with the project
-- Copy the `filters` and `views` folder over to your `Football Manager 2024` data folder, this may create these folders, or may just add the contained files into your existing folders
-  - Included is the original `is newgen` filter created by the NewGAN-Manager team and a new view created by myself to get the needed data
-  - If you follow [this video](https://youtu.be/pmdIkhfmY6w?t=564) it will show you how to export the `rtf` file, you want to use our view, not the view in the video
+  
+Things you will need that I will not be going over on how to setup.
+
+ - Python installed
+ - Git installed
+ - A ComfyUI installation (On hosted server, or [portable](https://github.com/YanWenKun/ComfyUI-Windows-Portable))
+	 - My suggestion it to use the [Realistic Vision 6](https://civitai.com/models/4201/realistic-vision-v60-b1) model
+
+If you have that, then carry on for Windows instructions 
+ - Use Git to checkout this repo
+ - You need to get a `rtf` file of the players you want to add images for, to do this you need the view and filter supplied with the project
+ - Copy the `filters` and `views` folder over to your `Football Manager 2024` data folder in `Documents`, this may create these folders, or may just add the contained files into your existing folders
+	 - You can use `python INSTALL_VIEW_AND_FILTER.py` to do this automatically 
+ - Included is the original `is newgen` filter created by the NewGAN-Manager team and a new view created by myself to get the needed data
+ - If you follow [this video](https://youtu.be/pmdIkhfmY6w?t=564) it will show you how to export the `rtf` file, you want to use our view, not the view in the video
+ - Once you have your `rtf` file add it to the root of the current repo
+ - Create a python virtual environment `python -m venv venv`
+ - Activate the venv `.\venv\Scripts\activate`
+ - Install the requirements `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+ - Copy the `user_config.cfg.sample` to `user_config.cfg` and make the needed changes
+	 - football_manager_version - Version of FM to generate for. Defautls to `2024`
+	 - output_dir - Where to save the generated set. Defaults to `./generated_images/`
+	 - comfyui_url - HTTP location of your comfyui installation. 
+	 - model - Model to be used, by default `realisticVisionV60B1_v51HyperVAE.safetensors` is set, this is my suggested model at the moment.
+- At this point you should be able to run and start to generate by running the command `python comfy_fm_newgen.py --rtf_file ExportedFile.rtf`
+	- ExportedFile is the name of the file that you exported and saved with your newgen list
+
+
+You should get some console output of the progress, good luck!
