Re: about stadiums!!!
Hi,
There is a golden rule by Fifa editing : ALWAYS make back ups of the files you want to replace, so when there is a problem you can always go back to your starting point.
I have experimented some pbs with ECP stadiums with a missing texture .
Then I checked the files with BIGgui and some files were uncompressed.
So it is a good idea to back up your Delli alpi files in the zdata 05 and zdata 06 folders.
But I would recommend to install these stadiums and the one at FifaCZ too because they are really masterpieces.
Cheers, JM

Well, yes sometimes there are problems with "Missing Textures" or so.
The best thing you can do (normally it will help 100%) is reinstalling DelleAlpi with Stdium Installer, and then copying zdata05.big and zdata06.big from your FIFA CDs to the FIFA 2004\data folder (and replace the old ones).
Now install the stadium again, should work then

OK, but if I must do it 5× in one day, is this real solution?
I say - NO.
Since its not very clear, let me give some insider info on how Stadium Installer works.
When you click on "Replace" in SI, the following is done in order:
1. The sti file is opened, all the data is read.
2. SI searches for a stb file (See step 3). If one exists, it processes it in a method similar to Step 4.
3. From the sti file, SI determines which files are going to be replaced. It reads these files from the Bigs and create a backup in the SI directory in a stb file.
4. Then it processes the data in the sti file and replaces them into the bigs as follows:
(a). If the original file in the big is compressed, it compressed the data from the sti.
(b). It inserts the data into the big using a heuristic approach which doesnt require it to reorder any of the data in the bigs.
(c). If required, it makes changes to the file allocation table.
5. SI makes changes to the FIFA database.
In reality, no files are lost. They are all backed up before being overwitten.
The reason why SI fails to do its job properly is because some big editing programs end up corrupting the big files. That's why we ask you to test to see if it works with the original files from the cd.
If you have to do this 5x a day, and the only program that you are using that modifies zdata_05.big and zdata_06.big is SI, then you should report this a bug with full details on how to reproduce the bug at the FIFA ECP forums: http://www.fifaecp.com/forums (when it comes back online)
. We would also appreciate it if you inform us of any other programs that interfere with how SI works.
Hope this helps.

that's the point!!!
... the only program that I use that changes z_data's is the beautifull KitRaptor2GK... and my fear is if this program makes any comflit with Stadium Installer!!! And off course, that I prefer Kits rather then Stadiums!!! So this is the major reason why I don't start using the SI...

After playing a few games, I found out that the stadiums installed by Stadium Installer couldn't work with 2gk kits . How can i fix this problem? Will FIFAECP release a new version to fix the problem?

When I play with a FIFAECP stadium, the game is plunged into darkness.

Also, the message"This kit does not exist in Fifa 2004" occurs when I install new kits.
