Real NCAA autoinstaller for BBCF and TCB

[Icy]

As the threads for that two games are so long, it's easy to get lost so i'm posting this in a separate thread so Skydog can add it to the general reference thread.

TCB-RealPack

- The real teams and conferences database 0.3, with the real names, nicknames, arena names etc. (Thanks to Frosty8311 for your help on that).

- The conferences and teams logo pack on yahoo style as the old ones released for FBCB. I have added some missing ones and edited all them to fit in the TCB interface.

- Team and comference courts.

- Outlaw77's ingame sounds

- Rockpsl76 new faces



Here are some samples for the logos:

BBCF-RealPack
This is the installer for Bowl bound College Football and includes:
- Real NCAA database 1.6 (team names, conferences, arenas, rivalries, awards, etc) that now also includes the Skydog names/surnamed mod, for a more realistic spread of names/surnames for the new created players (based on the real USA census).
- Icy's yahoo style team logos
- Inxay's Bowl logos

Download it from here (1.3Mb):

I'll keep them updated with the latest versions of each file. In a few days i'll make this files even better where you will be able to decide which items to install from each pack.


BBCF random team selector

I programmed this basic toy in the past as it was requested by somebody here in the FOFC forums. It's an online tool to get a random team for those who want an extra challenge not choosing themselves the team they want to manage.

Random team selector for BBCF (http://www.prodeportes.com/bb/randteam/index.php)

There you can get a fully random team or a random one in a selected conference or/and with a selected prestige. Also added some extra info like the the conference average prestige.

Have fun.

UPDATES:

BBCF mod:

Updated with database 1.6 that includes the names/surnames mod from Skydog (thanks for your work).

That mod creates a list of USA names/surnames for more realistic spread of player names (based on the real USA census).

I have also added a menu to the installer so you can choose what do you want to install, like the full pack or only logos, or the database etc.

Icy, great job with this autoinstaller. The mods add a great deal to the game. However, I just noticed (via a crash due to an RTE 53) that the Sun Belt Conference Court Logo appears to be missing. I just wanted to let you know, and let other Sun Belt coaches be forewarned.

[Eaglesfan27]

Dola -

I found the logo in the directory after all. It is named suncon in the directory. However, the game is giving an error because it can't find "Sun Belt.jpg" I just changed the name manually and that should hopefully fix the problem.


Edit: Yep, that fixed the error.

[Icy]

Weird, the database i have is set to look for the logo SunBelt.gif not .jpg and that one is in the directory, i don't get the error either. When did you download the pack?

[Eaglesfan27]

It may have been a gif. I might be wrong about that. However, I'm positive I had to rename it to the Sun Belt to get it to work. I downloaded the pack at least 2 weeks ago. It may have been as early at the the 6th. It's not a big deal if I'm the only one having the problem as it is now fixed. Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up.

I downloaded all of the 1.2 patch files yesterday. Could that database editor file have changed anything?

[Icy]

I downloaded all of the 1.2 patch files yesterday. Could that database editor file have changed anything?My bad, i thought you were talking about the conference logos not the conference courts. Im going to play a lot today with the patch, if after a few season i don't see any errors with my current setup, i'll create a new installer from it to be 100% sure it's correct.

[Icy]

Update: you're right, all the conference courts are wrong named as they were not being used before the 1.2 patch. I'm renaming them correctly now and will upload a new installer in a few minutes.

[Eaglesfan27]

Cool. Great job with this auto installer and your mods. Thanks for your work on this. Also, thanks to Outlaw 77 for his work on this as well. They really add to the game experience.
