[bigh0rt]

RICH72601, could you do me a favor and just check this updated file and throw me some screens, please? I think it's all set, but just need to make sure the arm hole trim is lined up properly, the alpha layers came out okay, etc. -- http://www.mediafire.com/download/2cv6c ... ashome.iff

Thank you so much, it is appreciated. Once it's all set I'll post up the PSDs, which you are welcome to take a look at and take anything you want from.

I see that you made the jerseys shinier. They look good

Throw me a few screens from different angles if you could. I did some experimentation to see how things would turn out. Trying different alpha layer stuff.

[Kevin]

On it.

[bigh0rt]

Awesome thank you. Ready to make the blues.

thanks man

If you have different techniques to do seams, bevels for stitching, etc. please feel free to share. Always trying to improve.

[bigh0rt]

Heading abroad to Bali for three weeks. Any new uniform releases, please post pictures so I can work on them when I get back. Finally, still looking for some cyberfaces, as always.

See ya in a few weeks.

[Kevin]

You deserve that vacation .

PS: Jao did some templates on jerseys too. You might want to look at it

Calling anyone who is a big fan of particular schools or players. Feel free to post your thoughts on sig shots, or anything specific you'd like to see implemented and I'll be sure that they are.

How about adding USC to the roster this year?

[bigh0rt]

I can't make any promises about team inclusion, especially until I hear from droc81yo.

Can you guys provide/ create the art files for the teams you are requesting?
At least jerseys and courts?

Cyberfaces with their paired Skintone # would be really ideal. There was only one team added last season, and it was essentially because all of the work was done by Rich for Temple, where we just needed to copy and paste the roster work in, title the art files appropriately, etc. That's the golden ticket, really. Anyone who does all that, I can all but promise it'll happen. However, as I've mentioned countless times over the past 2+ years (and this isn't directed at you TG, of course), we're not just making BS teams that wear the right jerseys and play on the right court. We've spent two years tweaking appropriate ratings and tendencies and coaching tendencies for each team so they actually play and feel like themselves to the greatest degree we're capable of. There's so much more than just adding a few graphic files. The roster work is the real brunt of it, and I'm praying to hear from droc81yo in the near future, because I did just a small amount of roster updating today, and it's an unbelievably daunting task. I welcome anyone who is a strong roster editor to assist in the project.

The adding/removing players, bios, and mathing cyber faces isn't that bad, but the ratings and tendencies are arduous. I will do the rosters minus the ratings/tendencies since bigh0rt said he has someone lined up to do it. I think it's important that the same guy does all the ratings (or at least uses the same system) to remove bias. I noticed the most important tendency was the post shots for big guys (too many scrubs shooting the ball every time they touch the ball in the post) The shot tendencies are also very important to make star players actually star and scrubs not take over the game. I went for realism, and honestly I was pleased with the results. Most of the games I played cpu players played to around their season averages.

You guys mind getting in a Canadian College School? Carleton Ravens. I have our court's texture and I'm sure I can whip up some logos if you guys wanted to include the last school I played basketball in. What do you guys think?

How many players did they graduate last year? If there's a chance they have a similar type season, I could see possibly replacing Creighton with them. If they were all seniors last year, though, I'm not putting them in just for aesthetics. Too much work involved.

I won't rule it out, but it'd come after I got every team already in updated. If you provide all of the graphic files, and if you wanted to, even the roster component I could copy/paste, I would certainly be more likely to add them.

Northern Iowas got 3 returning starters but lost leading scorer tuttle...funny how low they were in national rankings at everything but fg percentage which they were 16th in nation. No biggie if ya can't fit em in though man. I know I'll have 2 seasons running already with U of I and Ia St. Also, I love the fact so much attention is being paid to tendencies and whatnot for realism. Would much rather have what we have now with everything in depth rather than like you said a team added for aesthetic purposes. Thanks again to all who have contributed to this mod. It is the only one I play really anymore until v2 of the 90s mod comes out

[bigh0rt]

Roster has undergone it's initial update, wiping out players who graduated, transferred out of the mod, declared for the draft, and added recruits, transfers into the mod, and filled out the rosters. Extremely early stages, as most new players don't even have jersey numbers yet, so we're light years away still, but all players have at the very least, correct heights and weights, and many have updated cyberfaces, skintones, etc. At the very least, good progress has been made extremely early.

Adidas Hard Wood Classic Night Uniforms will be included...
