Importing Miniface - xAranaktu/FIFA-22-Live-Editor GitHub Wiki

The FIFA 22 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.

Game file format

To avoid any potential errors you should use the same image format and size as the game uses. FIFA 22 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

Importing the miniface via Players Editor

Once you got the miniface in correct format you can use the Live Editor to import it. Make sure your game is running in windowed mode or windowed borderless mode. If you will try to import the miniface while in fullscreen mode your game will most probably freeze and you will be forced to restart the game.

Ofc. once you import the miniface you can switch back to fullscreen. Windowed mode is only needed when you are importing the miniface.

  • Open Players Editor (as shown for example in Editing Player Guide)
  • Click on the "Import miniface" button in top right corner

  • Find the new image file on your disk and press "open"

  • Done

Importing multiple minifaces

The Live Editor is loading the minifaces from your game folder installation folder -> LiveEditorMods\root\Legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads

You need to run the live editor at least once to have the LiveEditorMods folder.

In my case, I've the FIFA 22 installed in I:\Gry\Origin\FIFA 22, so the full path to folder with minifaces is I:\Gry\Origin\FIFA 22\LiveEditorMods\root\Legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads

If you want to import multiple minifaces simply move the files to LiveEditorMods\root\Legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads For example, if you want to add face for Dino Visser (ID: 256318) then put the miniface in LiveEditorMods\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 LiveEditorMods\root\Legacy\data\ui\imgAssets\heads
