Quick Question for kit makers

[Comma]

I've been importing png kits with Creation master 07 with great success so far. Recently, I downloaded santista's manchester united kits and using microsoft paint, cut out the socks and shorts from the away to paste on the home kit to make all the different combinations they wear. I recently noticed that if the kit file is over around 700kb that the game crashes while loading a game. I confirmed that the game crashes when I imported the amazing chelsea home kit by huz that is around 1.6MB, but when i played with the unedited away kit there is no problem. My question is two fold:

1) is this a limitation of creation master, or of fifa?
and
2) if it is fifa, how can i save the files to be under 700kb as I assume it has to do with the layers i created by just pasting the new socks over the old ones without properly cutting out the old socks and shorts? And also how can I save the amazing chelsea kit by huz that is less than 700kb?

thanks for the help

the bmp's 2gk always weights 1.68M
the png's weight varies
chelsea vs manutd will always crash if you have 2gk kits for both teams including the golie
you'll have to make 1gk for the goalie and it won't crash

What is the size of 1GK(pixel) ??
I mean 2Gk is 768x768, am i right ?

512x512. layers aren't saved in a png, so it doesn't matter how mny layers you use.

so its team dependant? Thanks for the responses, but doesn anyone know where I can get a 1gk keeper kit for man u? Also, i assume that it only requires that one keeper have a 2gk kit, no?

Cheers

the less 2g graphics you use, the safer's your game. you can downscale kits with every graphic program, paint, paintshop, photoshop...

thx biebrich, i explained in at least 4 threads before

I am now having another problem. I am unable to play against Arsenal in a derby match in manager mode. It crashes at the same time, only thing is it doesn't crash if its not in manager mode. So i can play a 'quick match' against arsenal with all the settings as in manager mode, but when i go into manager mode it crashes when i try to load the match which leads me to believe its not something with textures this time. Any suggestions?

And sorry that i didn't realize you could downsize in paint, and sorry i didn't search for it. Honest mistake.

i don't really know about that, maybe it's because you mess with the db using creation master (the suggestion is that you modify everything and then start a manager)
the problem with 2gk kits is for all important teams (bayern, realmadrid, barcelona, chealsea, manutd, arsenal - cant play between them if they have all 2g kits)

i had fixed that if you imported turfs downsize them an reimport them it fixes everything, but if you have a low end pc i will also mess things up so try not to import many 2gk kits

that happened to me, it happened when i imported minikits for these teams after i'd started a career

does kitraptor help to solve this problem when used to import 2k kits?
I've asked this before but none answered so I ask again, I've seen many excellent kits and none of them I see the captain band. Was that something the kit makers intentionally left out or ...?

 

[SlowHand]

with kit raptor is the same problem, is not a tool thing, is the amount of memory the game "uses"

the capt armband is a separate file from the kit that is in the same fsh (this is known since the first demo was out)

 

[WeVi]

Thanks for the answers. As for the capt armband, is there tool to import it into the game?

with cm you can import a 8x8 graphic

hi

when you make a kit, how can you let it look like a t-shirt, and not only flat, i see all kits here have some movement in the shirt, i can´t fix it, how did you do?

thanks

Elena

you need a so-called template, there is a thread here for those. it's a file that contains only the texture of the shirt, shorts and socks, and you multiply the colours and badges over it.
