The community here | how to make it better?!

[mrliioadin]

I can make a tutorial for beginners. Showing them how to use paint shop pro or other less expensive programs just to get started. I'm not an expert of course but I can make kits and feel I can easily teach that ability to others. So they can take the first step.

I think we made a huge leap in 07 by making the "list of FIFA editing tools" thread. You have no idea how helpful it is to get them all in one place.

 

[Tizmo]

One thing that just came into my mind is to assign a specific league to each kitmaker. That way, we could get more kits and not have many already-done kits.

 

[BaYa]

come on guys... why is this thread been forgotten ?!

please firstable assign specific leagues to specific kitmakers like Tizmo said in previous post.

so, kitmakers over there, post here which leagueS you want to work on, so that we can have kitmakers for all the leagues.

And if we have enough kitmakers we can give a certain league to 2 or 3 kitmakers who can decide who will make which kits. --> less work per person and faster !!!!!

I don't know what other people are working on National Teams. but. I'de like to run the national teams. At the moment I can make the kits that aren't already made (though the quality isn't top notch). I can do the roster editing and all of the asset work. I want to learn to make balls and stadiums. Boots i'm less worried about.

My goal at the moment is to release all 208 or so national teams along with East Timor, Montenegro, Martinique, and Guadeloupe (and maybe a few others).

After that is complete I want to work on getting the rosters very realistic. I want to research the game reports from 2006 qualifying as well as any I can get my hands on from other competitions. I'de also like first hand input from fans about their rosters. I want to make a spreasheet of everyone who has appeared and how many times, hopefully get some idea for the proper positions of each player and determine the most likely starting 11 with their most likely backups to assemble a 23-28 man team for every national team that is relatively accurate.

Following this: I want to work on creating the environment. Adboards listing what confederation the home team is from, where their home stadium is at and what it's called. If possible (though it isn't yet), i'de like to learn to create simple stadiums that could be used to represent the acual conditions of the home teams in each nation. If I cannot learn to make the stadiums from scratch I want to learn to edit the generic stadiums that fifa put in the game so that each one can be duplicated, modified with proper logos and text's to clue you in on where in the world then rename them and make it possible to select the home stadium for Grenada in a friendly match or tournament and be able to in some way believe you are there.

I realize this is a lot. And i'm basically working alone at the moment aside from the kits being made by all kitmakers for national teams.

The idea is to set the goals high and take baby steps to achieve them. And pray I can get some help somewhere along the way.

As well I'm confident that CM08 will be able to import CM07 files... making it possible to create your patches as a continual progression always improving and never repeating information.

1. i think the best way is to build a brand new site for CEP where all patches (from all over the world) will be uploaded there.

2. "someone" there should be in charge in organizing all the patches into a "super patch" that can be downloaded every week/ month(?)

3. stick together team!

And why CEP? What about the editors that don't want to be associated with that horror? Think again.

There was a huge idea about making an online database a bit like a wikipedia that could generate fifa.db file updated every day, it was a great idea and a huge project but it was abandonned somewhere along the way because people were already criticizing before the first line of code was even written Think again.

I certainly would like to distance myself from CEP... great concept, kudos for the work, but no dice with me. I've had too many issues with it.

well, i make the swedish kits....usually anyway..

 

[Tizmo]

Perfect.

You forgot one point. With perfection

I forget if we mentioned this before or not but we really need an FAQ section here. How many posts have we read that said, "how do you make kits?" why does the CEP crash when I edit it." ... "Why aren't my stadiums filled when I play important matches?"

We should make a sticky with FAQ's on it and users can add their questions there. Make it a forum rule or guideline that you need to check the FAQ section before posting a new question.

Then if I see a repetitive question anywhere I can pop into the FAQ thread and suggest we add it. Shouldn't be too tough to maintain either.

1. Make a 'superpatch'
2. someone who make a site, like PES with the 'pesfaces'; So a site with al the face's that are made for Fifa (http://pesfaces.co.uk/news.php)
3. The same as idea 2 but with kits like 'Wevolution' (http://www.wevolution.org/)
I think that would be great

 

[SlowHand]

i don't really get what you mean spike

liioadin, that'd be great, suggest some questions with answers

yes i agree that idea would be great! :mexican: which is also can be implemented in this forum which means all the patches should be more organized like in those sites instead of by the creator.. and of course the credits will be there..

 

[snoppf1]

Ok some great ideas here

here is the solution

we make an 'superpatch' called, world of fifa

it should, basiclly include everything made here, plus stuff from other forums

kits,balls,boots,adboards,stadiums,database,faces etc.........
around the world, difference is that

take for example, someone is making a portugesee bwin liga patch, now instead of simply releasing that, and requiring everyone who wants to use it to reinstall their game and just use that ONE patch. they should send it to us as an add on, and so.

so we have an patch with incorprates everything we need!!!

there are so many reasons to why this is the way we should patch i could go on all day

1. less crashing, so we dont have to fit everything around eachother
2. saves people time, i gave up making project classico beacuse it was taking up too much time to patch my own season plus make the patch project classico. with one big patch that runs with everything needed to run, there will be more time to find out other stuff about the game e.g. add more animations to the gameplay

3. This is the reason which makes all the people from th stupidly stubbord cep etc.. look stupid

MORE PEOPLE WILL USE YOUR FILES, simple logic

if you make a patch just for, say the german league. and it requires again for you to have a clean instalation of fifa, despite the fact you have patched your game and you dont want to ruin the stuff already one you game, or you just want say a few stadiums from that patch, why would you download it??

when if you could download an add on pack with wha you want and more that works 100%, even if you know nothing about patching you will download it

so what do you think, how can we sort this out

 

[mrliioadin]

I think this is a great idea Klash... and I'll help you with it. I'de like to wait to release my nat teams again until I fix some issues with a fair chunk of teams. But it should be done in about a month. In the meantime we can start talkin to some other patch makers about getting their files added.

For my patches I'll come up with something to avoid changing attributes as heavily as I normally do.

Let me know send me a PM.

Please, make kit packs for the new season. Contact al the kitmakers from this forum and make together a kit pack. For example al the new kits of the premier league,...
