Reorganisation of facepacks

In order to make things easier, we have reorganised the facepacks section of the Downloads Database. Over the years our facepacks section has grown significantly and under the old way of organising files it has become somewhat untidy. Now the facepacks have been organised into categories according to their style/design and split into subcategories according to season.

A tag has been added to the beginning of each file title to indicate what teams/leagues that the facepack covers:

[ALL] Face pics for all leagues i.e. Euro, NHL and North America
[INT] Face pics for international players or international leagues (i.e. leagues based outside of Europe or North America)
[EURO] Face pics for European teams/leagues
[NA] Face pics for North American teams/leagues (other than NHL)
[NHL] Face pics for NHL teams

As mentioned above, each style has been split into subcategories according to the season in which they cover. Those in the 06/07 and 07/08 seasons have unaltered years of birth (i.e. the year of birth in the filename of each picture is correct according to the players' actual year of birth). Those in the 08/09 subcategories have had one year added to their year of birth so that they are compatible with the Lidas v1.x 08/09 roster updates. Equally, those in the 09/10 season subcategories have had two years added to their year of birth so that they are compatible with the Lidas v2.x 09/10 roster updates.

There are a large number of facepacks hosted on TBL so it is possible that one or two files may have been accidentally placed in the wrong category. Please let me know in this thread if you find any mistakes.

I see that there are some packs without the prefix/tag. I'm not sure if it was your intention.

Excellent, thanks for that. I've corrected them. :thup:

I did the whole lot during yesterday afternoon so there's bound to be the odd mistake in amongst the hundreds of files we have. :D By the way, when the new site goes live you'll see that the facepacks section of the site will be even better.
