My fonts for numbers for FIFA 08

Sorry to hijack your thread there Fiordy. I've made my new zdata.big file. Before I put it into my fifa folder does these numbers take the place of the already existing EPL numbers? I just don't understand how the game knows, is it the 221,222 numbers that reference them? Also how do I read the coloridtob file because there is three columns with the colours green, red, blue listed. Sorry to be painful.

Beginning from the bottom, for the second question you can put those codes (R, G, B) into a graphic editor (usually in the colour picker tool) and you'll obtain the related colour.

First question: FIFA always refers to files by their code (=filename). I don't know what would happen if you put a font fsh file (with already existing code such as 221 for example) into a brand new zdata. I don't know if FIFA would pick the fsh in the original zdata or the one in the new zdata. But it's just a matter of trying, let me know what happens! Usually I've always overwritten existing fsh font files, replacing them with mines.

Well, I was going to over write them. I have done some reading during the day and someone mentioned that fifa.fat reads the higher Zdata file last so any other fsh file number put into a new zdata that is the same will be read over the earlier/older one.

Thanks for the advice, I'm starting to get it.

Ok so colour 7 is yellow : RED-241, BLUE-54, GREEN-223
and colour 19 is red : RED-238, BLUE-49, GREEN-60

(thank god for photoshop)

Exactly! Pay attention to the order (R-G-B, not R-B-G) when you insert the numbers in Photoshop!

Great Ajax.

Last question, why when I've imported the EPL fonts do they show up in game as black? I imported them into zdata_09.big to replace the existing and rebuilt the zdata files. I even checked the teamkits colour reference in fifa.db file to ensure that I hadn't selected black.

What have I done wrong?

What you did wrong is overwriting the generic EPL fonts in zdata09, simply import them in the new zdatafile you've made for importing faces and stuff.
I import everything in zdata70 that I made and I make sure that nothing gets overwritten or you will get errors like you see now (black fonts or no fonts at all).
So import the .fsh (font) into zdata70 (or whatever zdatafile you made) and rebuild with MD's FS5xx rebuilder and it works just fine.
Because what happens is this, if the created EPL fonts have the same ID as the gamefont ID it will overrule the generic font anyway but the game will pick the last (imported) EPL font from zdata70.
That's the way it works with me anyway but I leave the EPL fonts as they are cause the gamefonts for EPL do look fine to me :D

Thanks Silencer, you're the best. I really appreciate all your help. I ended up deciding to leave the EPL fonts as the default ones after all that, but now I have a really good understanding. I'll stop hijacking this thread now.

(Thanks fiordy)

Not a problem at all ;)

Just hoping that anyone who needs help about importing problems and similar will search a bit here and there to find answers, instead of opening new threads and posting old questions.

Enjoy! :amika:

Hey i got a problem with your Ajax font... when i want to edit a player in team management, the color of the home font is red, but ingame, the color is light blue, just as the away kit font! How is this possible, is it my own fault? Do you know what to do about it?

I applied a spot light filter on the plain font, so that the light hits the numbers with a straight ray, usually vertical. I used a ray for each single number. Anyway I think there could be other methods for getting the metallic look, maybe someone else could give you his opinion... ;)

Sorry, I've never edited a player from in game, always edited with unidb or similar. Just be careful to assign the correct font ID to the correct team kit and all will work fine.
