This is the best I can do (apart from touch it up to make it fit together better) made from the 6 ball textures in some other guys ball (was posted here the other day, a WC ball).

I can't put the nike tick in thr right place because there aren't enough appropriately placed hexagonal panels (even though there are now 5), I could get close, but that would leave either a sraight line or something that looks more like a "~" than a tick (2x the "curved end"). So I put in in a single hegagon panel (like the ball size bit), but it's on the other side to the screen shot.

Due to there only being one pentagon panel to work with, they all have premier league badge in them.



Well tell me what you think.

I think it is possibe to create an accurate goemerlin if you edit where the textures go on the ball (anybody know how?). To do this:-
bala is pentagon 1
balb the patterned hexagon
balc=balle=ballf (each appears once in above and is blank), so 2 of these need to become pentagons 2 and 3 (one with ball size in it, other with just pattern).
balld would need to be same as b, but with other half of nike tick in it, as it is all but one of these (there are 4) are in a suitable orientation (but the pentageon isn't in a suitable orientation to make it work like that).

Can anyone do this??

Great Job Phil,

I also tried to edit the ball posted on a previous post, but once I had made the changes and imported the files the ball got messed up.

I didn't edit the one posted the other day, I just took the file for the WC ball, worked out that bala was a pentagon and the rest are haxagons and used the templates found in a ball tutorial. I files them all different colours with an arrow on them pointing up to work out how they fit together.

Anyway, here is the final version, shortly to be submitted to the download centre:-

Good one!

I'm just wondering... isn't it possible to put the Nike swoosh inside the ball by splitting it in both hexag's ? or they appear "flipped" in some ?

Click to expand...

No, because both hexagons are the same (balb) so you would get the same half of nike tick in both, just rotated 180 degrees.

yeah, now I remember why did I quit trying :-P

I think that the ball textures could be a little sharper... but considering that most files are 16x16, I guess it couldn't be much better :-(

True, but when do you ever get a real close up of the ball anyway?

I hoofed it over the bar to be able to get the camera that close for the screenshot.

I am very pleased with the hand drawn premier league badge. It was just one shade of gold, blue, green and red drwan about 15x8 pixels, and then scaled down and rotated, worked quite well.

try this one:

Lobbing or shooting to max power into one end of the stand.

Next go replay Free Cam mode and turn it to when the ball is at its highest point. Right click the top part of ur screen to zoom in and i think it can be achieved to a very high quality zoom. Try around, i have done it before like how i captured the Fevernova screen:

as far as i know, Phil is not the first person to have done a Nike Geo-merlin.

Cekka from FIFA-Xlife or something..... has done it abt a wk or 2 ago.

Yj: That is how I got the screen shot.

Hauker: I have re-sent it, if you have problems this time let me know, if you have problems, the downloads centre people might have as well.

Yj: I have seen the other goemerlin, but I wasn't that impressed so I made my own, it's one of Cekka's balls that I used as a template to get the extra panels (I have also 'borowed' his installation files, but with my textures (it's the simplest install method I have seen for balls)).

schmeichel: my textures are 32x32, but they get re-sized in EA graph (don't have a ball which uses 32x32 as a template)

The ball surface texture can be improved, but I would need to know what the texture should look like.
