I want to add Bolton to the demo. Done laughing? Ok, so I added all the team info and players to the db files, and I fired up the game. The team logo was already in the game, but the players had "missing texture" for most of the faces, along with the kits. Fixing the faces is not a problem, but I can't seem to add the kits. Any ideas as to how I do that?

Cheers!

imo the full game will be out in just over a week i really wud save your time :)

Well, the easiest way is to spam the forum until you get 100 posts and then ask one of the sigmakers to make you one ;)

Just a post to say thnx....!

No point mate i tried, i started a patch to add 6 new teams with all the kits, adboards, logos, players etc all done but the kits importing proved a nightmare. Both team in all home kits, all away or goalie kits depending on which i selected to go as. Done em manually at first but then even that kit importer that was done did exactly the same thing. So i've given up trying. :(

The Romanian guys have added 6 new teams to the demo, so it can be done... but I suppose I'll just wait until the game eventually gets to my side of the world...

Cheers, all.

I've done it, it's pretty easy, well I added the kits manually, I first extracted a .fsh file from zdata_06.big using BigGUI, I opened the extracted .fsh file with fshEd and imported the .bmp in 512x512 size and save the file. I then imported the kit into a new, clean .BIG file, something like zdata_24.big and imported the kit into that with the correct ID number on the .fsh and made sure the file was compressed with bigGUI. I then ran two programs in the /data folder, first fatGUI.exe then genBH.exe and tested it ingame.

Of course you need to make sure all the id numbers are linked properly and correct, here are a few screenshots of two teams I added to the demo...
(I didn't edit the players stats fully, so no complaints about that from any CSKA fans :p)

Thanks, Curswine... I didn't try FshEd... :D

Did you get it working then Keegan?

I tried it last night, but nothing doing... my players and kits are all red & green (missing texture)... :( I used the data from the Fifa 06 game to add the players, but apparently some of the combinations used for appearance are not in the 07 game... easy enouogh to sort out, but I created the big file, imported the kits and ran fatbh, fatgui and genbh for good measure but no kits... I have no idea what I did wrong.

That's weird, if you can start a game that means it can't be a database problem, check to make sure the zdata file is in the /data folder and that the kit fsh files inside it are compressed. The only other thing I can think of is make sure you're not playing a team who's .fsh file you extracted and overwrote, I think that can cause a problem too.

I'm almost ashamed to admit the problem I had... it was in the kits database field where I had kit-type '5' for all the kits instead of 0,1,2 & 3... I fixed it and there were my Bolton kits ingame! I set up my minikits too, so I only need to fix some appearances and I'm good to go! Thanks a lot for the help, Curswine! Let's see... who shall I add next?

:D

Glad to hear you got it working, I was running out of ideas as to what could be wrong.

I recommend you make teams that won't be in the full game that way none of your work will be wasted when it finally comes out, well that's what I am doing anyway. lol

Yeah... sounds like a plan... I might finally do a Jamaican League patch... I've been planning on doing one since Fifa 2004... :D
