WORLD OF FIFA PATCH for fifa 08 (ideas)

[snoppf1]

this was posted in the community thread, im going to make this the thread for generating intrest and ideas

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

The idea wasn't really bad. But shouldn't we wait until FIFA 08? I mean, until we know how many things we can do with the new FIFA without crashing? However, it's a good idea.

we ant do it now because there are too many idiots who wont let other people use thier stuff in their patches

 

[myx]

snoopf man i have planned this too but i love that idea. you can use what you want from my creatings!!!

 

[Zefilio]

That's why I did it in 2006 without asking anybody but putting them in the credits, I said **** their egoes and let's publish something the PES peeps are doing for years now for the good of the guys who haven't got the time to hunt forums and sites every day to get the latest stuff for their game. Pretty unselfish idea, but instead of thanks (well I got some) I got tons of hatemail lol. Since then I said screw them, thay ain't worth my sweat anymore lol.

 

[Biebrich 02]

it's just a strange thought that people who make graphics and stuff and post it in a forum so that other people can use it, don't want the same people to use their stuff merged with other stuff in a patch. it's fear of not getting enough attention i guess.

 

[mrliioadin]

This, as I said is a fantastic idea and all of my work is available to you of course. Please credit all of the kitmakers I have listed on my first page though.

I will certainly help with some of the diplomacy issues getting users to allow us to use their patches... If nothing else we can start small, release whatever leagues we have permission for and then get to work trying to make many others.

 

[snoppf1]

If anyone wants to take over, or thinks they can do a better job on this patch, go on, please

everyone need to work together in this patch

we need to get it into certian peoples thick heads that working together means a better fifa, and in general a much easier life

i actually at the pooint where i hate patching, its annoying, every so or so days im editing the db, adding this, that or the other, the furthest i've ot in season mode is season 3 (this is when i first got the game

what we should aim for is the pes superpatch, no need to scour forums, spend hours modding things together. everything you need is there in one patch

if someone uses my work in their patch, i would personally fly over to where they are and kiss them, i make kits becasue i like using photoshop, i like kits, i love to help other people


NOW!

the idea is,

1. Kits: evey kit for each team done, looking realistic including gk kits for every team
2. Boots: Keegan
3. Adboards: Give every
premierleague
seri a
la liga
ligue 1
bundersliga
eridivise
Bwin liga team their own adboad

then we could work something out between the rest depending on hw much space is left

4. Balls: correct for every league
5. Stadiums: there are so many out there, the limit is 255 i've heard, just make sure we have enough to fill all those slots, imo its the first stadiums we could get our hands on
6. Squads: keep them up-to-date, add players ea forgot to add, realistic ratings

ok now
7. Leagues:

Make sure we have
Greece, Argentina, Romaina, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Croatia, Japan?, Chile, Serbia, Hungary made and in the game

then i think we culd go on from there, if some say wants the malta league, he could create that send it to us and we'll us it as an add-on

8. MISC: ill do menu arts etc..., new music to suit you.

new scoreboards etc......


9. Sound: basiclly we should organise the sound,

National teams sounds
Best club teams sounds (liverpool, barca etc........)
europeian sounds etc.......

soundpack should be seperate, you can change what sounds you want to suit your team


thats the plan, it isan't that hard at all, just getting someone to organise it all

 

[mrliioadin]

To be honest I think the most important thing is to speak to the makers of each league patch and try to include them. Getting all of the leagues into one mega patch would be the best place to start. A CMP alternative to CEP is a great place to start. That's just my suggestion.

good idea, but first you have to create a crew (a staff like "soccergaming staff) that create the patch.I'm sure if more editors agree is simple for the other editors to permit the use of his stuff in this new patch (basically a crew with keegan,daugaard,sundsvall,pete54,arnau etc can create a very good patch)

6. Stadiums and faces:
Stadiums must fill all 255 stadium space and we need to add much as we can faces

Rinaldo has expanded the stadium possibilities ...You can have up to 512 stadiums now...Check his thread to download the last beta version of CM

Antonio,
I don't think an organized staff is needed... Organization will give some leaders who will react like the CEP staff and ended with some crypted stuff. ( and not democratic behaviour )
We just need a kind of free supermarkt where all the posters agree to share FREELY their work with the others ( including the risk to see their work " stolen " by others )
... Fifa is A GAME and nothing serious...I think we all agree
After all editing the game is not authorized really. Only EA has the right to make official modifications and they are kind enough to let us do it. ( I have worked for them a bit so I know the agreement )
As an ancient member of this forum , I'm really glad to see that some new guys here ( Biebrich,Snopff, myx & mrliioadin to name a few ) bring fresh air here...

 

[snoppf1]

ok in his thread we list the people involved in this patch, its a loose agrement, you dont have to slave yourself to this patch

e.g. jus leave your name here and we would be able to use all of your stuff in the patch

mrliioadin, zefillo if you want to take charge you can

 

[myx]

i have license from mogolos and calvarez to use their kits

 

[Al Pacino PT]

I can Help on the patch,I have done every bwin flags,the logos,adboards and kits

 

[mrliioadin]

I"m interested in helping out but I am limited in what I can do just because my national teams really aren't finished yet. I need to continue to work on the rosters there and really get them much more believable before I take on anything 100%.

That said I do still want to help out. Something like the FIFApro license might not be a bad idea. Create a type of a agreement that any editors who are interested sign that would allow us to use all of their stuff. The more editors that sign on, the more stuff we can add in.

This would be a massive project, It may be best to start small. Let's see who's interested and start releasing some stuff from each of them so we can get the ball rolling. Hopefully by '08 we'll have enough that very little 3rd party patching will be needed.

 

[makispla]

I am in!...and i believe that a roster update for the major leagues by late September early October,it will be a very nice start...
Another idea:get serious patch makers and their sites to publish and post their part of the patch,at their own sites...
example:fifamania.it superpatch!!it will be great to have an .exe version for people who wish to have only the Italian updates ,
but also the .cmp version compatible with the "WORLD OF FIFA" megapatch,uploaded at their site so they don't loose visitors....
and keep here this thread for reference,linking and posting of various things...

 

[Zefilio]

My thoughts :

- Don't include too many leagues as the more you add the more people to update are needed.

- release as much as possible in .cmp format in this aspect you could make a base patch that could be expanded freely with the content the end-user wants to have in his game, this is a big advantage vs. patches that include a zillion leagues but people are only playing two or three in the end...

- No hierarchy is great, make it open source but dont make it anarchy, still have about five or six people (the guys with the most free time or the most motivation) centralise everything and discuss what can be included, ect...

- Give no release dates, just a general idea when you think you'll be finished and add two months, you'll see, with a bit of luck you'll make it in time then. Don't underestimate the work involved.

- The base for the patch should always be the data, people tend to download a patch more for the rosters than for the fancy graphics (f.e. what use is it to have a great Saviola face and a great Barça kit if he's still not transferred to Real Madrid in the roster?)

Those were just my random thoughts, don't take these too seriously either, just get a bunch of motivated people together, work together, don't let discouragement get to you and have fun, good luck!

Also You can have all my soundpacks to include or release as an add-on, just my name in the credits (and no it's not zefilio) will do. I also made some flags for little teams (mostly Serie C1 and C2) which can be found in the 06 forum somewhere, you can have them also.

I don't have the real life time anymore to put many time into editting, sometimes I don't even have time for playing anymore but should I make something new I'll make it available also.
