Update on Scoreboards

[volvo]

Hey all,
First off I would like to apologize for being inactive with this project, I lost interest and becoming quite discouraged. GavinCMD has been making amazing head way in finding how to decode .APT files, which I think may be able to be used for more than just creating custom scoreboards. If anyone is wondering on how to decompile .APT files, let me know and I can make a thread tutorial given me off of instructions given to me by Gavin.

Right now, we are having trouble moving [still] the scoreboard. IDEALLY, there would be a file that we could completely replace for the scoreboard. However, I think that is unlikely. The largest problem is that Frostbite does NOT have a public SDK and everything we are doing is essentially decoding and reverse-engineering an engine. The most promising directory we've found is this.

Spoiler

This would seem to note that everything on the scoreboard is an individual unit.

Looking forward and with a new Madden on the horizon, I don't think that new scoreboards will be achieved.... in Madden 19. M20 may come to PC, no one knows yet but I hope so. In my experience with poking and prodding through files, they leave a lot of stuff the same and the leave a lot of left over. Hopefully, if M20 does come to PC, nothing will have changed in regards to the scoreboard, and we can pick development up right away. I apologize again for the inactivity, but I am now moving this project to my front burner. I also apologize if this isn't the news you were looking for. If anyone has anything that could help AT ALL, speculation, theories, odd spells to make this work, please get a hold of me on discord, Volvo#4440.

Thanks for your continued support,

Volvo
