IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FILES FOUND IN THIS THREAD -- Always scroll through the items you are importing and make sure that all of them are always set to CREATE. You do not want to use replace when loading in these historic patches, it is likely to replace a modern player who shares his name with a ghost from the past.
I have considered for some time beginning this project and finally decided I was ready to get started.
I still have some work to do on the national teams that I released already but I decided to take a break from the modern game for a while and forcus my efforts to creating the past cups instead.
Anyway I will use this thread as a home base for it and I will release it in pieces as I did in the past.
To give you an overview here's what I'm looking to do:
I want to release each world cup with all teams from the final AND from qualification.
I will start in 1930 and work forward from there.
In the past the biggest critisism of my patches was that they were hurried and released early and often with little bugs or errors. With the sheer size of the project I'm about to begin I have decided that I will take my time with it, dedicate more time to accuracy and focus less on the speed at which they are released.
Another big critisism was the way in which I handled attributes, I hope to listen to any user advice/suggestions and adhere to them far better than I have in the past. I think because we are dealing with classic teams this will be a bit less of an issue but nevertheless I want your oppinions.
Finally, I always shot down help in the past. I am open 100% to any help you can provide and will be looking to have balls, stadiums, kits, logos, flags, banners, and other assets made as well.
With that in mind here is a checklist I have for each cup:
Countries (that are realistic to the name of the state in the day)
Leagues (that will work in Manager mode)
Teams (with accurate kits, banners, logos, flags, lineups and realistic attributes)
Players (with as many specific faces as I can get a hold of)
Stadiums (may need to be mostly generic but I will do my best to find what I can)
Officials (I hope to make some officials too, especially historically influential ones)
Formations (that are realistic to the time period)
Tournaments (I will make the world cup qualification and finals and put some effort into making other tournaments like the copa america and euro cup as well).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If loaded properly you can use them in manager mode if you choose to.
The more people that sign onto this project the better it will be but as I've said with any previous project i've undertaken, if no one plays it I don't mind at all. At heart I just want to entertain myself. But I will always share my work with this community and ANY work I ever do is available to you to edit and rerelease as you please. I will begin working on the 1930 world cup patch tonight and will release all the work I can as soon as possible.
If you want to help out let me know here or in PM's and let me know what you want to contribute.
EDIT ----
I do want to make it clear, any artwork done for this patch will be offered to the guys at the classic patch so that we can return the favor for all the work they have so willingly given us.
Also, I did the math... to do All world cup tournaments with qualification we'd be looking at over 1500 teams... Needless to say, this is a project that is intentionally being started, with the knowledge that it will not be finished.
If we ever get that many made, great! But if not, it is no big deal. The point is to get as much of it done as we can.
NOTE:
There may be nations, flags, players or other aspects of these patches that may be easily and understandably viewed as offensive due to the political status of nations participating in previous world cups.
I am dedicated to the accuracy of these patches and making them look and feel as close to the real cups as possible.
In saying this I recognize that some members may not support some of the flags or national teams that are released but I need to stress that again my goal is to be historically accurate and I have ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION to be vocal in a political sense.
One instance of this might be in the 1938 patch when Germany is released under the flag of the period which includes the Nazi symbol. Again I need to stress that I do not support the nazi party and I strive only to be historically accurate.
If you take offence to anything I release please contact me through Private Messeges and do not publically state this displeasure without first speaking to me directly. Often political arguments are simple misunderstandings.
Thanks,
