Taking some inspiration from 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 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 it will show you how to export the rtf file, you want to use our view, not the view in the video
