Adboard Revolution (teams CAN have unique adboards!)

[zlatan87]

Thanks regularcat and aresMX for the tournament IDs. After further investingation I have found the variable I have access to is an asset ID for tournament graphics rather than the actual tournament ID. This still works as hoped. I have been able to assign a specific adboard and ball to the FA Cup, Football League Cup and UEFA Champions League during tests.

Therefore I can anounce version 2 of this mod!
-Ability to assign adboards and balls to teams and tournaments
-Tournament assignments given preference over team assignments
-Tournament assignments work in both tournament mode and career mode

Awesome Mod!!!

How do you assign different balls to different leagues ?
Like FA Cup ball for FA Cup
Carling Cup ball for Carling Cup
UCL ball for UCL etc ?

You will be able to do this with V2, I need to add new code to make tournament assignments work.

Actually, the most needed ones are assigning faces and boots without changing the DB.

I am pretty sure both can be done.

I am pretty sure both can be done.

That would really revolutionise fifa-modding.
Like kitserver and map.txt files for pes back in time

 

[zlatan87]

wait for your release, you are revolution-man of fifa 12!!!

I am pretty sure both can be done.

If you really can make this possible, we have to think about a similar tool like Player GDB Manager for PES

Some reason with this when ever I try to change the squad in Career mode the game crashes ?

Great news about the special option! Looking for to it

dear scouser09, did you spot the line where the number of used adboards is defined? (adboard_x_0.rx3, adboard_x_1.rx3, adboard_x_2.rx3, adboard_x_3.rx3)
probably defined at "=1" instead of "=4"

Does anyone know why there is four different adboards files and what they are used for? As far as I have found out it's only the first one that is used...

Also, I was wondering if it would be possible to use the same kind of technique for scoreboards so that every league could have its own scoreboard? That would be sweet!

 

[pao4ever]

yeah, there is... assign the same adboard to all the league's teams

 

[zlatan87]

Someone has found way how to assign also Scoreboards for each tournament???

 

[pao4ever]

nice thought

I know that the boot assignments can definitely be done and I think I have access to the needed variables for face assignments. I have never modded PES, what is Player GDB Manager used for?

Are you sure that this mod is the problem?

My guess is that EA had plans for the other adboard files but these plans where abandoned and the extra textures where not removed from the game.

As for scoreboards, I have not been able to find any code related to scoreboards in the .lua files, so for now scoreboard assignments are not possible.

Player GDB Manager is for kits

No it's not, what you mean is GDB Manager and not PGM.

@ scouser

Player GDB Manager for PES is a tool which loads the option file
and you can add the faces and boots to the players, so it is saved
inside map.txts with the correct IDs.

I think it would be great to have a tool where we can select a team
for example and then add the adboards and can see a little preview
and it is saved in the stadium.lua. Same way for faces etc., just a
visualization of those things instead of just txt editing.

i used it on pes6 superpatch and its a fast tool to edit huge quantity of players and teams!!!!

I think they were a feature that EA were implementing, but never finished ( or it's Broken ! ). If you look at the Fifa Street ads, they should animate, the wording on the 4 ads is slightly different, but it doesn't work, ie/

EA Sports
Fifa Street
Out Sep 18th
Buy it now

( Off the top of my head i'm sure that they don't say this exactly, but you get the idea )

I have never got them to work.

A tool like that could be useful, but I am not interested in developing it.

I will add code to player.lua to allow boot assignments and to allow specific faces (if possible).

If anyone wants to suggest any modifications, I will choose the most useful ones to add to the next release. I already have a few in mind and will announce them when I am certain that they can be done.

Yes, concentrate on working with the txt files. It was just a suggestion, not special to you, maybe someone else work on something like that any time.

But I don't care, I will also love only txt editing

 

[V.K]

The most important suggestion is to make face and boots assigments work no matter what happens to squad file or the db.
All in all, these features would be amazing!

 

[scouser09]

I can now announce some new features:
-Player kit sets can be assigned to tournaments. Different number and name fonts can be used in the assigned tournament.
-Referee kit sets can be assigned to tournaments.
-Assignments of specific faces to players with generic faces.
-Boot assignments.

For player and referee kit sets, kits are named kit_x_y_z.rx3 where x is team id, y is kit type and z is always 0. By changing the value of z, extra kit sets can be added. For example, this means that teams can have an extra set of kits which can be used only for Champions League matches.


V.K: The boot and face assignments take precedence over the DB and should take precedence over the squad file, so these edits should show in saved careers.
