Player Faces?

[Gelbs]

Hi there. Just installed the gold demo and can't seem to see any player faces in their profile. Is this because there aren't any in the demo even though I have them enabled? Also, what it the code like numbers under a players name like "2000001111"? lol.

There are two versions of the gold demo around. A small version of 42 Mb without pictures and sounds, and a big one of 161 Mb with pictures and sounds.

That number is the unique number used to identify the player.

Hi. I have the big one. But only some players have faces and some don't. Seems kinda weird that some players who are really well known don't have any and others that aren't popular do.

SI can only use the faces and logos for teams that have given permission to use them. They have to be given the pictures by those teams as well.

Could someone please post a screenie of a player profile cos I havent seen what the face's look like yet.

 

[rpvankasteren]

I posted a screenie of Bergkamp already in the screenshot showoff, but that's from the update I'm creating. I'll post one original one:

 

[Sir Calumn]

Thanx....... it does add something to it I must admit.

 

[rpvankasteren]

I think so too. It might even get harder to sell someone if you like his face

You better have the option in the Full Thing to turn them on and off because in the "Vanilla Demo" my game is running at a great speed

The strawberry runs fine as well, here.

I also noticed that once the xml files are loaded, changes to the pictures they direct to are visible in the game on-the-fly. Good for editing

How many Henry profile's are we gonna see with large penis' on his head

I like the logos too, is there a big logo on the club profile screens?

 

[rpvankasteren]

No, but it shows the home, away, and third kit. If provided, of course.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Classy I really do like it, adds alot of professionalism. Cheers Ruud.

I don't really like the player faces, besides the fact it will slow the game down (on larger database and further into the game than demo) and I always liked to imagine how the players look, but luckily you can turn it of

 

[Sir Calumn]

It will probably be quiet useful too, it's easy not to read the nationality, but certain nationalities are very clear from appearance so for small-time players it may remind us to check for work permits. Did that make any sense?

 

[rpvankasteren]

The xml files are loaded at startup, and the pics are only loaded one at a time, when they are needed. I really doubt they will slow the game down.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Does it seem particularly slow on the Strawberry demo? I mean, even slower than the vanilla.

I wonder how the regens faces are gonna work then?

 

[rpvankasteren]

Only the face-in-the-game winners' regens will have faces. They all have fixed IDs and when they are entered in the game, that number will automatically link the pic to them. Other regens will not have faces.

 

[Sir Calumn]

So the faces if the regens which do have faces will be random?
