OLT Expanded Hair Pack v1.0

OLT Expanded Hair Pack v1.0:

Having worked on this project for quite some time by now, and loving every second of it, I have now finally decided to wrap it up and call it done - the very first Hair Pack created for Football Manager's FaceGen feature.

With more than 400 new hair styles for your newgens, this pack will ensure much greater variety, realism and enjoyement to your gaming experience - truly a must have for any career gamers (like myself).

Current Stats:

Afro: 49
Long: 4
Medium: 16
Short: 29

Asian: 4
Long: 3
Medium: 1
Short: 0

Euro: 258
Long: 42
Medium: 73
Short: 143

Hispanic: 96
Long: 16
Medium: 23
Short: 57

TOTAL: 407 different hair styles!

How to install:
- Extract file into the following directory:
- [YOUR FM INSTALL FOLDER*]\data\facegen\hair

* Steam Users (default):
- C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\football manager 2009
* Others (default):
- C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009

Note: In the facegen/hair folder, you should notice four folders already (afro, asian, euro & hispanic). These are the default hairs for the game. You should add the "olt hairpack" folder additionally to those so you don't write over the original hair styles. So DO NOT extract the "afro", "asian", "euro" & "hispanic" folders from within the "olt hairpack" folder directly into the "facegen/hair" folder. Extract the actual folder "olt hairpack" into this directory.

New hairstyles will take effect immediately upon loading up the game.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: After install - all existing newgens will show up with new hair styles (including those in the pack), so your generated players will instantly get new looks after install - this is a bug in the game which I can't do anything about. On occasion players get new hairstyles during gameplay as well, but this happens with or without my installed hairpack, and will hopefully be fixed in a future patch/version of FM.

Newgens will never look the same once you install this!

works on fm 10?

it definitely works with FM10 as well.

Just a small update...

I've been away from the community and game for a long time now, but am back playing and browsing the forum. I do intend to offer an updated version of the hairpack at some point as well. I currently have a whole bunch of "East Indian" hairs that may or may not work. I noticed that there is a snippet of code that categorizes hair styles for east indian styles, but there are no such hair styles in the released version. I will be testing to see if adding such will work, and would probably then be used for genereted players from the indian and arabic areas, as they are currently using mostly Asian... which isn't always so suitable.

Later on I'll be looking to create even more basic Euro/Afro/Hispanic, and have a look into adding to the lacking Asian hair styles as well.
