hey guys, i dont know how to do,shall i start making templates for some adidas kits,nike,lotto etc with and 1gk template or 2gk? how will you guys do?i feel that its much easier for me to make them 1gk,but the quality will be better on a 2gk....but i think that it is good quality on 1gk to...so..how shall i do? please help ;)

I think 2GK would be a disastrous move. If the kits look good already, dont fix it. To squeeze that little bit more quality out of the graphics is going to cause you more problems in stability. i.e. more crashes etc, especially when you import faces. Remember there is a finite amount of texture space that your graphics card and FIFA can handle.
This is the answer ;)

I choice 1GK :hump: :rolleyes:

I think we should definitely try 2gk because hte way 1gk appear ingame is really poor compared to what we had with 2gk in fifa2005. I know 2gk would be too big but maybe 1,5 gk would be great.

hehe, as i said, the kitmakers whant 1gk cause it will be harder with 2gk,and the guys wich dont need to make them whant 2gk :p

Man I've been a kitmaker for quite a long time (my first kit were for fifa99 so ;)), I just don't make much but now it's gonna be harder to make big kits, I was just saying that imo the quality really looks poorer with the current kit size

okay...yeah much harder,but youre right the quality will be better...but i make mine 1gk as long as the rest doesnt start with 2gk... :ewan:

Evidently 1GK caused less problems in 2005, though 2GK looked good even in 1GK the kits looked better than the ones made by EA.:jambo:

If the 1Gk it's cool then it will be cool ingame and is not necessary to have possible problems with 2gk, the template is already big this year.

If 2G works it would be nice if the kitmakers would make them but only make 1G goalkeeper kits... if it works like fifa05 that would mean no crashes!

The goalkeeper kits would then look better than 1G in fifa 05 and the other kits would look fantastic!

i go for 1gk....we already have some class kit makers around here who make quite realistic kits and i don't think we need 2gk. also 2gk will be quite large(considering 1gk's size) so it may slow down the game.

Let's see

Fifa 2005 1Gk = 131072 pixels
Fifa 2005 2Gk = 524288 pixels

Fifa 06 1Gk = 262144 pixels
Fifa 06 2Gk = 1048576 pixels

Now in terms of file size

Fifa 06 standard kit fsh = 171Kb (130Kb compressed in zdata file)
Fifa 06 2Gk kit fsh = 680Kb (510Kb compressed in zdata file)

I used the same kit just resized the normal one to get a 2Gk...there is a huge gap between the 2 formats in terms of size and space/memory requirements

of course, basic maths would tell u that:

for a kit of x*x size (1GK) you need x² pixels, while 2GK you would need 2x*2x size, which need (2x)² pixels i.e. 4x² pixels. i.e. from 1GK -> 2GK is actually a 4 times increase in memory requirements and since 1GK is already 512x512, you really are asking for crashes in game.

1.5 Gk?

Alex which format are the kits you made for Barca, PSG?
They look great ingame as you saw on my ss but if they are not 2gk then they could look even better IMO cause the details will be far more better and clearer.. We'll see once the full game will be released :)

it was 1gk, maybe i can test make one 2gk,but as he said the crashes....
