Fa'atau82's Rugby 08 MOD thread (PC)

[Fa'atau82]

If i made text logos for all teams, it'd be a really easy and quick job.

Personally, as i will the only one doing them text logos might be better and also still look ok. I can make a text effect to highlight more, like on my signature graphics, but in a different font.

I think that for Bourgoin it's a good idea, bravo

In Georgia's there's a very little problem of transparency, in the little round at the bottom there's a white spot instead of a transparent one

For Fiji, maybe you should do it whitish like the ABs one (just a thought). The same for Portugal text

Maybe in Namibia's you should make the black transparent (and maybe in Georgia too)

For the other unlicensed ones, can you try making them like these ones: http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/index.html? Click on a team to see the logo better

It's a very great work, don't misunderstand me, it's just that I'm a perfectionist

If you wanna try, I won't stop you

It was the best i could do with most of the logos. I also noticed the black colour doesn't look amazing but it's the best i can do with the time i have.

I will move onto something else and then maybe come back to it later.

Still looks better than those fake ones IMHO.

As long as you don't hate the logos, i am happy. It's good enough for the patch. As i mentioned before, it's just the two of us recently to do all the editing. I try to make what i can when i can to a good quality.

I notice although the image is very nice in photoshop and also fshED, when it actually exports it can come out different in areas.

But, all in all i think it is good progress.

The logos ARE very good, and like you said, they're way better than the fake ones. It's that I'm a perfectionist, but if you can't or won't modify them anymore, it's ok

 

[Fa'atau82]

I am going to make some kits now.

In the pipeline are Munster, Bath, and probably a few jerseys for teams i made that need altering.

 

[Ciais]

Gary, you know there are 2 files for the logos, right?
Well, I just discovered that only the one with 4 entries actually works
The one with 6 doesn't, not the fly-in, the scoreboard, nor the flag in team management

 

[Fa'atau82]

Thanks for that, i did wonder.. D'oh!

 

[Ciais]

Thanks for that, i did wonder.. D'oh! [/b]

It's not your fault, it's the game. Don't know why they did the 6-entries files, if the game doesn't read them. Mysteries of game-making

Congratulations, Gary! They're wonderful! :bravo:

 

[Fa'atau82]

Ok, looked through your files Fran for the pitch logos, and i have now added sky sports logo instead of the ea sports logos.

I will do this for all competitions and teams if i can.

If you play any competition, or at home with argentina, you will notice an EA sports logo on the grass, like the UAR one. Now it is replaced, with sky sports.

Will get a screenshot in a few minutes i hope.

Unbelievable! Gary, you're becoming better and better every day! :bravo: :bravo: :bravo: :bravo: :bravo: :bravo: :bravo:

 

[eric1566]

Thank you very much Fa'atau82 for your matchball Mod !!!

 

[Fa'atau82]

I have lots of files and mods floating around my PC at the moment like this and hopefully i will release them soon.

There may be a few files missing in some or extra files because i test them before i get screenshots etc but hopefully before xmas i can release all my indexed kits, graphics, mods all on one page and they can all be downloaded in one place rather than go through loads of pages of my threads.

Me and Fran could release a superpatch.. which would be the full graphics update for Rugby World Cup, 2007-08 club and National Team rosters plus full roster and graphics update for Super 14, Guinness Premiership, Heineken Cup etc.

It won't be hard, but there is that MASSIVE music file, which is best to have separate.

FAO Ciais.. while i'm here talking about music.big i notice the music is switched on in my game settings now, but it doesn't start when i load the game. Do you think i need to make a new savegame?

I notice when i loaded my 06 occasionally the savegame/roster would not load as it was not picked-up by the game and the music would start automatically. EA Trax don't appear for me, unless i go to the audio section and load them.

FAO Eric1566, I will very soon be updating every Perpignan graphic in the game.

Just in case i'm wrong, what kinds of designs do Perpignan have for their flags? I know of course red and yellow. Any other colours?

I like to have checkered flags, stripes, stripes on background, plain and also fading colours for my banners.. are any of these considered wrong for French teams?

Checkered flags in red/yellow and red/white look really cool in the game IMHO. I did a Biarritz one that is like their away shirt, green and red checks, like the shirt.

All in all, patches are coming along very nicely, apart from the fact that EA for some reason make 2 different files for the same thing and only one of them works!

 

[Ciais]

It's strange, I never had that problem. Does it happen all the times?
