OK, lately i've been working on a Euro 2004 patch for my own personal use, but i've put so much work into it that it would be a shame to not let other people enjoy it.
First of all, a few things i need to do before releasing is ask permission from Wolf and a few kit makers. This is because i've modified Wolf's PL/CL option file to make it. The reason i did this was because i wanted to have accurate euro 2004 rosters but still keep all the club teams from Wolf's patch. (And like i said, it was originally for my own use)
Anyway, here's what the patch will basically have -
Exact rosters and numbers for Euro 2004, including accurate starting formations. This will mean there is alot of player creating involved, hence why it's taking so long. Latvia will replace Northen Ireland.
That's basically the patch, apart from hopefully including the Latvia kits and the updated flags with Latvia in the download, once i've asked permission from Kel for the Latvia kits, and Wolf for the flags.
I have also changed a few hairstyles to correspond with a few real life hairstyle changes i've noticed.
Here is my current progress:
England - Complete (Maybe just a few minor tweaks before release, but the roster is all complete.)
France - Same as above
Spain - Same as above
Portugal - Same
Holland - Same
Germany - Same again.
Czech Republic - Rosters complete, but need to double check a few things.
Italy - Complete. (Also changed numbers/name colour to gold.)
Latvia - About 85% complete at an estimate. I've completely replaced Northen Ireland, so the team no longer exist in the game, and i also changed the call name to some random team beginning with L, so it isn't as bad as Northen Ireland sounds. All i need to do now is create about 5 players and the team is done.
Greece - Yet to start, and i assume they will take a while.
Denmark - Same
Croatia - Same
Switz - Same
Russia - Same
Bulgaria - Same
Sweden - Same.
As you can see, it appears i'm half done, but the teams remaining willt ake alot longer than the ones complete will because it involves creating ALOT of new players. Anyway, the release will be before the end of Euro 2004 def because it would be pointless otherwise. I'm going to put an estimate on Wednesday or earlier, but don't hold me by that.
