Making balls - work in progress!

[::Jason::]

I decided to start to make balls for Fifa2003. But i need some assistance. Where is the Ea´s original o. model of the ball? I made my first texture. It´s a fantasy Nike Scorpion and it´s not finished at all. I just need tips from you, heiks, becks7 and all the other ballmakers too.
Here´s a crappy oedit screen...

 

[::Jason::]

here´s the texture.. It´s not finished. I´ll soon start to make a new ball from scratch, I´d just like to know where are all the EA´s original files relating to balls...

The ball is previewed on Heiks o. model, because i didn´t find the original one. Could someone test it, even tho it ain´t too great atm. I´d surely test by myself, but my fifa isn´t working

 

[Heiks]

looks good, the original files are in disk.big...

 

[::Jason::]

It doesn´t look so good. But it´s great that heiks himself (whose o. file i used) commented so fast. Maybe the ball will look better on the normal o file, because that o. file of heiks´s is for nike geo.

 

[::Jason::]

I found out that the texture i made (based on heiks geo) doesnt work on normal o file. Or does it? The textures that are ingame are way different. So on what format should the textures be? If there´s other things for me to know about ballmaking, let me know them

here´s the fevernova texture from the game.

 

[::Jason::]

I started a new texture. It should be used with the adidas tango ballshape. I tried previewing it on oedit but i couldn´t find the right shape. Where is it?

here´s a beta of the totally unfinished select royale texture...

.o ball modell made by HEIKS you can download from my page (download any ball because inside zip, there are .o files necessary!) i hope i helped!

 

[::Jason::]

I now need the original Adidas Tango o. file. I have heiks o. files. Can those textures (the select one) be previewed in o. edit? I suppose not, because they are like that. I just wish my fifa would work so that i could test the thing ingame...

 

[Fernandez]

good luck on making balls(soccer) my brave friend....hope that you can conquer the geo chrome

Ok! thanks to you both, but when the texture is the select one i posted, is it going to work on o.edit as preview.

here´s a new version of the texture...

I found them, but maybe select was a bit too difficult ball to start with.. I´ll try making some other one... On the first texture ball, the nike scorpio.

heiks: am i allowed to use your ballshape with my texture?

sure you can

good luck forlan wit ur balls if u have comppleted ill make screenshots if u want

 

[::Jason::]

Thanks heiks! I did a few versions of the Nike Geo Merlin, but they are strongly based on the original texture. I just colored and improved it.

first one: black-gold

 

[::Jason::]

pretty much the same one in black-red

and to rabsy, I´d really like your screens to see these ingame, or well not the select one. I´ve propably given it up, because the texts cant be made on those normal formats. I´ll try maybe on hiks ballshape.

you can install these with ballraptor, just select the geo ballshape

 

[Fernandez]

you are on a roll...can you do that template for the geo merlin metallic orange?
