I've also been doing some updates to the RWC23 grounds.

This looks too good. It doesnt look like stadiums that would work in R08. Great job.

Uploaded the new Twickenham and Japan stadiums to github release: https://github.com/jimw546/jimw546-s-Rugby-08-stuff/releases/tag/1.35

Also includes general updates to other stadiums, mostly RWC2023 and other European grounds.

Is it possible that I can change how the grass looks? Like in real life it has the lines

Two options are to either remove the custom grass texture files from your game, or change Config2.bin inside each stadium .big file to link to a patterned texture. I've not messed around with them so I don't know which textures have patterns etc. but I made a list of the texture files previously:

How can I remove the customs textures and play with the original grass of R08? Or will it cause problems with the new stadiums?

The pitch grass textures are completely separate from the stadiums and are stored in the files I listed previously, simply find them and delete them from your R08 directory. It won't break the game but I haven't tested my models with default textures so they might look odd.

Thank you. I will give it a try.

It's been a long time since I've visited these forums, and I'm super impressed, these stadiums are unbelievable

Trying out new ways of getting Fifa and Rugby Challenge stadiums imported, testing out on Otago:



I have a couple of stadiums in the back-log that could be sped up with better conversion methods.

Crowds added, next is the shading which is quite fiddly. The glass roof and the superframe was done by hand and has come out ok. The complex stand models makes it harder to paint so have tried to bake the shading instead, on the image below you can see the bright bits at the top of the stand and around the entryways etc. that need to be fixed manually:

Hey Jim, I managed to get a few guys from the rugbyunion reddit who would like to help out with modding the game to the max. Please lmk if you would be down for that, and where you prefer to communicate with them.

I'm on Reddit so you can set up a subreddit there, or Discord, or send a message on here, or start a thread in the Rugby 08 forum. You can reach out to ama1 and en9ne as well, they're more involved in updating the rosters etc. than I am.

Discord might be a good idea actually.
