Importing Miniface - xAranaktu/FC-24-Live-Editor GitHub Wiki
The FC 24 Live Editor allows you to import the miniface for any real or youth player. The minifaces will be visible only when Live Editor will be working, so if you run the game without the tool you won't be able to see the new minifaces. This feature doesn't work for created player in player career mode and for homegrown talent.

Game file format
To avoid any potential errors you should use the same image format and size as the game uses. FC 24 is using DDS (DXT5) textures, the height and width of image is 180px.
Converting image
To convert the image manually I'm using paint.net which allows you to change format to BC3 (linear, DXT5) while saving the image.
As far as I know there are also Adobe Photoshop plugins and even online converters which can convert images to DXT5 format.
If you are a little more advanced user and you want to convert multiple images at once you can use ImageMagick command line.
For example, png to dds:
mogrify -format png *.dds

Errors
If you get an error or your game keeps crashing when loading minifaces then Deleting imported minifaces.
Next, make sure you import the miniface with correct file format and correct size. The most common error is casued because people isn't resizing their minifaces or they don't convert their images to DDS (they just simply rename png/jpg to dds) or isn't using same dds format as the game. If you are one of them then read these again:
Importing multiple minifaces
The Live Editor is loading the minifaces from your C:\FC 24 Live Editor\mods\root\Legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads
You need to run the live editor at least once to have the C:\FC 24 Live Editor
folder.
If you want to import multiple minifaces simply move the files to C:\FC 24 Live Editor\mods\root\Legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads
For example, if you want to add face for Dino Visser (ID: 256318)
then put the miniface in C:\FC 24 Live Editor\mods\root\Legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads
and name it p256318.DDS
if you have visible file extensions in your system (I do have), if not then name it p256318
.
Deleting imported minifaces
Delete the images you don't want from C:\FC 24 Live Editor\mods\root\Legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads
