EURO 08 Stadiums problem, help!

[davidmende]

Can anyone tell me how can i solve this problem with the shadows of the EURO 08 stadiums, they look too dark and i can´t see clearly the pitch, i´ve seen a lighting patch from fifa4fans but i don´t know if this will solve the problem or is it the EA turfs?



Can anyone give an insight about this, thanks in advance.

You must edit the stadium textures

 

[davidmende]

Geez that´s going to be hard for me, my editing skills are poor; i have to edit the shadow meshes on the pitch?

 

[apollox]

You must only one or maybe two of the stadium textures, where you made some areas transparent with Gimp, Photoshop or a other program.

Well i found a semitransparent texture in the stadium .fsh file, i export it as .png and edited, i lower the opacity and the result was this.



What do you think? should i use another method or this outcome looks good? the software i used was Paint.NET and the opacity level goes all the way to 255, i lower it to 125.

 

[apollox]

Lower it to 0 and try it

 

[davidmende]

But if i do that there will be no shadow at all?

 

[apollox]

No, normally is there a shadow too, because I mean the stadiums have at the moment two shadows

Well mate in this particular case the EURO 08 have the shadow meshes in the .fsh file because when i made transparent the shadow texture... the shadow dissapears at all.

 

[davidmende]

Well i set an opacity level that could actually let me see the player and now they look good but i found this other glitch about electronic adboards (made by Puliciclone and L3golas ).



Apollox or anyone else could you please help me, i found in the Puliciolne thread some guy that found it too and they advised to import the stadiums correctly (manually) which i did but the problem remains.

Any idea about this? thanks in advance!

Import the adboards in zdata1 or 2, important is in a zdata before the stadium files come of the stadium.
Then must it work normally

 

[davidmende]

Well mate sorry to bother you with these matters, i did what you told me, i moved the .fsh stadiums textures to zdata 1, later zdata 2 then i moved them one zdata before the stadium .o files but the problem remains... as you know this great stadiums have their electronic adboards inserted in the .fsh files so i don´t know what to do next, any ideas?

My graphic card is an ATI HIS 4850 1 GB i don´t think that my card is the problem because in fifa 08 the same stadium worked just fine.

I mean the adboard textures fsh files from the team who played in this stadium import in the zdata 1 or 2 not the stadium files like textures etc of the stadium. This should be in a high zdata, important is, that this is a higher zdata, like the adboard textures of the team

 

[davidmende]

Well mate the team in this test is Wigan, but it doesn´t have a specific adboard yet, it has a default adboard, number 2, this adboard file is in zdata 2 so even with this setup the adboards still look messed up.
