The first ECP stadium for FIFA 07 + breakthrough in FIFA history!
Yes, we're still alive! The only reason why you haven't heard much from us is time
This is a thing that more or less all of our members don't have at the moment - and of course, it slows down the process of editing, developing and releasing. Like you, we too are not happy about that, but we can't change it.
Anyway, tonight is a great date in FIFA history! For the first time EVER in FIFA history, it is possible to ADD a stadium without replacing another stadium (tools like FIFA FX for FIFA 2001/2 also did replace a stadium, although you didn't notice that
) ! This is quite a revolution and opens a lot of new possibilities to us.
This new feature is made possible by the new FIFA 07 file structure and some changes that EA made. Rinaldo from FIFA-MRA used this to make a great tool (Creation Master '07) that is perfect for our stadium installation! BIG thanks to him for this amazing program
So tonight, you get the first stadium for FIFA 07 and, at the same time, the first stadium ever that is added to FIFA. We've tested it in our forums (see here) and as there seem to be no further problems than the know ones (see below) we're releasing the stadium now!
Like in FIFA 06, it's Rheinenergie-Stadion of German club "1. FC Köln" (Cologne), a worldcup stadium holding a capacity of 50.000 people. See the screens below to get an impression how the stadium looks in FIFA 07!
In the *.zip file there's also a readme (in English and German) explaining step by step how to install the stadium using "Creation Master 07"! So you should have no problem installing the stadium, just read the readme carefully and follow the steps!
Attention!
This stadium only works without any other 2GK graphics (kits, balls, boots, adboards, faces ...) installed! It's really bad, but there's no other way - together with 2GK files, the stadium will crash! EA probably added a "limit" for the amount of graphics in the game, and the stadium fills it almost completely. We even had to reduce the texture size to get the stadium running itself.
The tool to install the stadium, Creation Master 07, also does not work with CEP!
Anyway, have a lot of fun with this stadium and expect more to come from ECP soon
