I have no idea then. I have never investigated this problem when this happens to me. But I've noticed that it happens with the transparent objects when they interact with each other. See the stad_Alpha groups that they are in. Transparent objects must be in Alpha groups. Not necessarilly, but it's preferable.

It's finally over

Here is Stadio San Dalla Pace, generic 2014 World Cup stadium, has a capacity of 20,000.
It's assigned mostly to European teams and some minor ones
I fixed team and stadium flags, edited glares and reassigned home and away crowd.



Even though it doesn't support dressings, still is pretty cool. If you notice any issues, you can test it and tell me, though it may relate mostly to night textures.

That's all for now, I may come back to it later, but now, I'm going to look for other stuff for 2014 World Cup mod

Thanks for the conversions!
Hopefully one day you'll return to the WC 2014 official stadiums to add tournament dressing, so that they can be also easily used for confederations cup 2013, Brazilian league, Copa America and Copa Libertadores (at least the ones that hosted such tournaments).

Ok so I finally got around to download and test all WC 2014 stadiums from here.

Some questions and comments.

1. If I remember correctly, original WC 2014 stadiums had these kinds of rays/beams of floodlights at night time before/during(?) the game.
Did you encounter them? Decided to remove them?

I remember some people disliked them, others found them cool and unique.

2. Have you checked anything about the SLC numbers and positions?
I feel like the managers (at least at Sao Paolo) are standing super close to the pitch by default.
So when the action gets close to them they try to avoid touching the ball and:

There's also a lot of NPCs bunched up together as seen above.

3. Do you have the rendering file to fix the shiny top sectors of the crows for these staduim IDs?

4. The city name center piece adboards are white in EA's imagination but in IRL they were bluish

I don't remember from there but I have them in my game as such
1713979268596.png

If you are interested in updating them I can try to export and send over.

5. Last but not least, hope one day you come back to add tournamentdressing function to these stadiums, atleast the important ones that are also used in Confed Cup 2013, Copa Libertadores, Copa America, etc. so that we can avoid WC 2014 graphics there.

Cheers.

1. I considered these rays as a lighting bug. I was running 2014 FIFA World Cup on PS3 emulator to compare side by side, I haven't noticed them in original game, so by converting lights, I removed them.
2. They cross the pitch? Yellow card! But seriously, I don't know how to edit slcs, I just removed those standing on the pitch.
3. I don't know what you're talking about
4. Blame EA, not me. Keep in mind the game was released 2 months before the World Cup.
5. Maybe, but I'll say it out loud. I was simply pissed that no stadium modder properly converted 2014 WC venues, so I had to figure out smth with barely any documentation or knowledge to even make it a thing. I also remember having issues with flag shades, which were hit or miss.

I also noticed that at least at Arena Amazonia (still need to test others) the static adboarads from the dugout side are always the same. Pretty sure they should be all different ones.

And some seats don't have spectators

Interesting.
I thought they looked kind of cool and intentional.
Would be nice to have v1 and v2 fx options, I'll try to look for those rays fx files on my PC.

I see. Also, do you have an idea who is that SLC between the police and stewards? Kind of looks like a zombie but maybe only in my game

This portion. I believe "rendering_patch" file is responsible for that

I know. EA did the same with WC 22, WC 18, etc. But if you're interested in cosmetic updates one day I can try to export all the city names I somehow have.

Yeah you did a great job, I also always wondered why no one really cared to do a proper "premium" WC 2014 stadiums conversion.
Hopefully one day we'll see them with tournamentdressing as well.
