An update about the Beta 2 version.
Bugs reported and verified (hopefuly fixed in beta 2)
1) Adboards are imported as flags.
2) Tactical awareness is not available in the player skills
3) Cannot access the world league.
4) Missed stadium name
5) Cannot create new kits but only update existing ones
6) Team formation page does not work properly if you start with some empty positions in the field.
7) Crash due to a player accessory value.
Information about how CM08 works:
I) Players are not automatically created when creating a team, this is a design choice.
II) When mporting patches from 07 the kits are not imported because they are in a format incompatible with FIFA 08.
III) Before to import the texture of a face you MUST add a head model for that player, otherwise CM08 supposes that you are trying to modify the generic textures.
IV) You cannot import a cmp generated with CM08 into CM07.
V) A speed/memory optimization will be done at the end of the Beta phase.
VI) As a root folder you have to select the FIFA 08 folder (not the data), a wrong root folder will result in the fifa.fa not found messsage.
VII) Kit can be saved as 512 x512, 768x768 and 1024x1024. 512 and 1024 formats generate also mipmaps. 768 does not.
VIII) 3D may not work with some graphic cards. I am looking to add an option in order to render 3D by software, not sure it is feasible.
I was not able to reproduce the following problems and I need more details about them
A) Problems during patch creation: which patch are you trying to create ? Let me have an example.
Body size: maybe the mapping of numeric values in the description is wrong. Please figure out the right association and I will fix it.
C) Player nationality not shown. I can't see the problem, please show me an example.
D) Boots bitmap offset. I can't see the problem, please show me an example.
Please make the examples starting from a clean Fifa.db so I can reproduce them.
If you don't find here an answer to your question please post it again adding more details.
Beta 2 will be released this evening.
