I have a pack for dds files, I just uploaded the png because you guys said that CGFE would import this file. No worries.

Fantastic! Really, many thanks. I've been using an edited stadium table because half of the stadiums had pitches that for me were unusable, they were too yellow or too dark. I've been going thru the various stadiums and they all seem very usable for me now. Here's one stadium I haven't been using, the pitch used to be too yellow and dark, now it's great. That's the cam I use BTW, Fidel's amazing Pro Cam mod, the textures/mow pattern looks great as well up close like that. Again, thanks AmazR. It's a whole new game now.

You're welcome, mate. I'm really glad to know that. It's always good to have something new to fresh things up in our game.
Cheers.
New project today while I wait for the first WC game... create a whole new stadium links table. All the stadiums look great now, all useable for me. This mod is a definite keeper mod for me. I have a couple things I do first thing every year when FIFA comes out: edit specific db values and set up Fidel's cam. This will be the third thing, add your pitch files.
11 out of 10, 3 thumbs up, Christmas in July.
Explained in the CGFE location install read me, and in the CGFE editing thread near the end.

So great to hear that, mate. Thanks for the kind words.
Have you guys seen the amount of turf patterns that we never see in game? I'm thinking about usem them with normal stripes instead of that mess with diagonal stripes, and making some editions on the turf so we can assign them for speacial matches. For example, just for fun, in a Champions League final match, we could have something like that:
It's an image from PES.
These turf patterns would be just for specific matches selected by the player, using those specific turf files, so it would not conflict with the normal ones that are regularly used in normal matches. I hope guys know what I mean, haha.
It is by design, not accident. I read an article two years ago about color palette choices in video games. Older gamers prefer natural colors; kids and teenagers are drawn to bright cartoon colors. EA chooses bright and cartoonish for a reason (see Wembley lollipop green turf). Whereas the first thing you notice with PES is how ultra-natural and realistic the lighting and colors are.
Guess which age group each is trying to appeal to? Which also answers why default FIFA plays like a Roadrunner cartoon version of football.
That one. Approaching the same realism level as PES. Very nice indeed.
Sorry about Brazil. But your team really needs to sit Neymar down and tell him to stop spending the first 70 minutes play-acting and trying to draw penalties, and to just play football.
He was great for the last 20 minutes when it was too late.
Modded 3 is very nice, a nice job adjusting color and adding some noise/grain to the turf.

Woaah, beautiful! Can't waitI thought the cutting/mow effects were too exagerated, so I'm trying out some new stuff:
Default:
Modded - Version 2 (clean version):
Modded - Version 3 (more effects on turf):

Yeah, Neymar was a huge disappointment. He's a really good player, but chose to keep faking fouls instead of show his skills. Shame.
Thank, guys. I've been trying out a bunch of different settings, but there'a aways something wrong. Sometimes, I setup I really nice texture, the color is almost spont on, but then I set a different day time and the result is a complete mess. The lighting gets all weird at some parts of the pitch and so on.
Not the case of perfection here, but it's just an example of what happens:
So far, the only one that seems to be stable at any ligthing, is this one:
The differences are subtle tho. Noisy textures to simulate a grass and some subtle wear effects.

I only play day games, 12:30 pm. So work on a turf set for that first and worry about night lighting later.
Actually, I'm 110% happy with your first turf set, don't need anything else.

Version 3 looks best. Looking forward to it.
Just add some noise to the default textures and don't worry about recoloring the texture, that is what did.
