Re: Madden 19 - OS Community NCAA Conversion Mod

I only bought this game to rewrite it for college football so I would like to be part of this patch but until I know what we can do its hard to say what value I can bring. I can do graphcis and all that but it doesnt really excite me, a full college mod or bust is what I'm looking for.

Name: Joe
Photoshop: Yes
College Team Wanted: USF Bulls
As for my experience, I've been part of FIFA Infinity for years but called it quits after 2016.

My patches are #2, #3, and #7 on this list.

NAME: Jonathan G.

MODDING EXPERIENCE: I've done texture mods for Sims 2, RFactor, Dirt Rally. And some moveset hacks for No Mercy 64 for a community collaboration mod over on nomercyzone many years ago. Here's a link to my old deviant page with the Global Rallycross cars I painted for Dirt Rally and Rfactor years ago. I probably got more images on my old laptop of other stuff.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP WITH: I would love to honestly make uniforms and maybe even field textures

DO YOU HAVE PHOTOSHOP: Yes.

COLLEGE TEAM YOU WANT IN GAME: Virginia, Virginia Tech Cincinnati.

It's been years since I modded anything, because of work and lack of time. But I'd love to get back into it. Especially since I have time to devote to this stuff again. And to something I'm so interested in working on. And its a mod that's probably gonna be the most popular one ever developed.

Re: Madden 19 - OS Community NCAA Conversion Mod

I will only see this project through with plenty of help, I have no interest in only a couple of us doing it!

Also, anyone who helps, no matter what team you want in, will have one team that automatically will be in.

Re: Madden 19 - OS Community NCAA Conversion Mod

Im definitely in, but I think we still need some things ironed out in Frosty Tool before we can get evan as many as 32 accurate NCAA teams.

This isn’t a start the work now project. But if we don’t have a list of teams we are going to use and what all assets it will replace per team, it will be a mess if we create anything now.

Frosty isn’t even released and most people don’t have it, I’m even leaving next weekend and won’t be available during weeks until end of October so the project has a LONG way to go. But I need people who is interested so we can figure out who is in and where.. prelim stuff.

Until we can edit jersey numbers, it’s going to be a PITA.

I hear you, I’m definitely down for doing uniforms and fields, beyond that I’m not gonna be much help. Seems like some people talking about digging into code and attempting to alter it are painting on a canvas while I’m stuck using a coloring book though lol

I’m down to help with uniforms and fields as well. I think the uniform number isn’t that much of a PITA honestly. Not from figuring it out. But from the making uniforms perspective. Because I’d rather have uniforms made and sitting on the back burner. With only numbers needing to be made at a later date. As oppose to not havin any uniforms really being made for an extended period of time. Because of said setback.

Re: Madden 19 - OS Community NCAA Conversion Mod

You are going to run into issues with not having the right color numbers though. Not all teams have the correct colors for 32 diff teams. So it’s gonna look bad when it isn’t accurate. Until it’s fixed, we probably won’t progress much on that end because I don’t want half correct assets.

I mean yeah I get what your saying. But it still won’t stop me from making stuff for the sake of learning the tools when it’s out. And from showing people proof of concept of what’s possible. The people that don’t know this kind of stuff is happening so we get more interest in this scene.

Well, never said that haha. You said it wasn't a PITA, but trust me, it is one of the biggest issues right now.

And even when it does work, you will have to go in and manually draw each number and letter to match the uniforms. West Virginia for example has font that is nothing like anyone in the NFL.

Re: Madden 19 - OS Community NCAA Conversion Mod

Hey BR I just posted in the Discord general Frosty section about the helmets after importing. I was looking around at the helmet shader presets, there is a bunch of parameters related to metallic flake, flake intesity, etc. But I cant find a way to retain that sparkle in the imported helmet, it always goes opaque, even though the old helmet values stay the same. Were you looking at this at all before your SSD issue? Any ideas how to retain the flake in the paint after import?

That’s because if you look, the alpha channel hides the actual helmet texture and it uses the shaders for color and shine.

You’re covering all that when you change the color of the texture.

There might be a way to change helmet similar to the face masks. It’ll be a couple days before I’m back and running to check.
