Hi! I have a problem, I was wondering how I change so that I can get Lidas Face Pack in my EHM 2007, I have downloaded his elitserien pack o put the players but it does not work anyway. I have also noticed that all other players in the folder is in ehg format and Lidas-pictures is in JPEG format, but I would like to have Lidas photos. Now i didnt have any pictures in elitserien but i would have lidas-facepack! How do I fix it?

Make sure the birthdates on the files match the ones in the game. If the facepacks are older than your roster file, then they might have different birthdates.

If your folder has two pics of the same player, out of which the other one is .ehg and the other of some other filetype (such as .jpg), then the game will use the .ehg-file. Other than that it doesn't matter what filetype they are.

Did you install them into the right folder: EHM/data/pictures/players/ *files come here* ... ?

If so, then there should be no reason for it not to work. Sometimes, for some reason, you might get a player who's pic doesn't show up for some reason, but then all the other players should have pics, nonetheless. Also, check your settings. You may have unticked the Profile Pictures option.

:dunno:

Maybe the problem is that he's download the latest Lidas roster update (3.0) but is using old photopacks for 2.3?

But if the birthdates matchup...

Hmmm. Mystery.

Yup, I was thinking that could be the case too, but he says the birthdates match, so... nope! :dunno:

I'm having the same problem. I downloaded new logos for each of the NHL, AHL and all of the CHL teams and they show up fine. Not one playercard shows up though. Have no idea why.

Figured it out. Apparently the cards are all created with a certain database in mind. If you have an earlier or later database, they won't show up. The "easiest" (and i say that loosely) way to fix this is to make sure the dates on your cards, match the dates in the actual game.

Go into your saved game and compare the actual birthdates of your players to the birthdates on the cards. Make changes as you need too and it will work.

Yup. If you would've read the earlier posts in this thread, you would've known that right away ;)

Another thing to keep in mind is that EHG files take priority over JPG files. So if you had two player pics in the folder for one player, it'd be the EHG file which EHM would show.

And PNG files take priority over JPG files too. The priority sequence is EHG -> PNG -> JPG .

Hello,

I am having a similar problem and I'm wondering if someone can help me (bit of a newb). I currently download Lidas 3.1 rosters but have a photopack that was only compatible with lidas 1.0 rosters. I tried using a .bat file I found on the website to update the facepacks but realized the files only went up to lidas 3.0. Is there a way I can get my old facepack photos to still work for the latest roster update?

I couldn't find any other information related to my problem on this website, I hope i'm posting in the right place, if not, I apologize.

Lidas 3.0 and 3.1 uses the same dates of birth. Which bat script did you run?

I used update_plus_4.bat, placed and ran them in both the players and nonplayers folders

And were your previous image names compatible with 1.0? Are you sure? Post file name of some player (famous one ;) ).
