CujoMatty Madden 20 Generic Tattoo Project

[CujoMatty]

Version 1.0 Release!!!!!

I got it finished finally. Basically I had to do a lot of resigning of textures and thinking outside the box to get this to work. It's obviously not as good as if we could assign every player their actual tattoos but I think this is about the best I could do with what files we have to work with. I didn't count how many players I assigned tattoos to but it has to be over 400. I got a little creative with accessories but I wanted to keep them as close to real life as possible so if I didn't have a texture that would have a similar tattoo placement I just left the player without any tattoos.

You must use Mith's Tattoo mod for the best result and make sure you put his mod higher on the list than my mod in Frosty Mod Manager. You can download his mod here:https://forums.operationsports.com/f...dden-20-a.html

Instructions:
-import mods into mod manager and make sure Mith's tattoo is higher on the list.
-start game and load roster. That is it.

You can assign tattoos yourself to any player using skin tone 4 or 6.

I'm pretty sure I reassigned any textures so tattoos shouldn't pop up in unwanted areas but by all means if you guys find any mistakes don't hesitate to post problems you find. I didn't do much testing as I wanted to get this out as fast as possible.


Note: The only real downside I ran into, when I assign tattoos using the included skintones to generic players, the game changes the player portrait to the generic one you assign. I personally don't care about that as what they look like in game is what matters to me.

Downloads:

Here is the version that has just the players with face scans. Will work with any roster or draft class but doesn't have tattoos for any player without face scan. I didn't have a ton of time to test everything but I think it should be good to go. Reply with any fixes.

Big thanks to MattRock who helped me understand the initial process of Frosty.

Re: CujoMatty Madden 20 Generic Tattoo Project

I think I will release a second version that would be easier to use but it would only include tattoos for the players that have actual face scans. It would work with any roster and you wouldn’t need edited draft classes. Just load the mod in mod manager and you’d be good to go.

The only downside like I said is no tattoos for any non face scanned players. I will still release the more extensive version with a roster and a couple years of draft classes though as I’d rather have more players than just the face scanned ones personally.

This version I will call Generic Tattoo Project Lite and I imagine I will release tonight as it’s all done other than reassigning the create a player skintones which will take seconds.

The more extensive version I still plan to have done, minus draft classes, by Thursday evening.

Re: CujoMatty Madden 20 Generic Tattoo Project

Roughly how many players are going to have tats in the generic tattoo mod?

Re: CujoMatty Madden 20 Generic Tattoo Project

Thanks Cujo. I'm more interested in the second version because I dont want to have to restart my franchise just to get the tattoos.

Even in the first version you can edit them in an ongoing franchise. I set it up so skintone 4 is tattoos and skintone 6 is as well. But it is a bit of work lol. I was thinking most people will probably like the ease of the Lite version though.

If I was to guess I’d say 200 probably more like 300 though. lol

On average it’s looking around 8-12 guys per team on average.

If a guy has a sleeve or 2 sleeves in real life he will have corresponding tats on my roster. If a player has got just a forearm or bicep tat In real life they won’t have anything on my roster. If I can find more available texture slots it’s something I would add later in an update though.

So I can edit it in game? Cool.

Re: CujoMatty Madden 20 Generic Tattoo Project

There is a few for white people just not a lot of white guys have tattoos in the nfl apparently lol.

In the full mod I’m putting out tomorrow night(most likely) will have generic players with tattoos. Also skin tone 4(white skin) and skintone 6(dark skin) will be tattoos you can assign to anyone you want. My created player has tattoos.

The Lite version I put out today, I redirected the skin tones away from generic or created players because you have to have a roster with players edited skin tones. If you don’t do that random dudes will have tattoos and i only want players that have real life tattoos to have them.

Sherman if I remember correctly has bicep tattoos but not full sleeves. I didn’t have room for any of those textures.

I figured I could use my own thread to update this so I copied and pasted this from another thread I replied to.

I spent the weekend with frosty and I learned a whole bunch about what is possible and how the file structure works.

I figured out what Mith did for that Diggs tattoo. He used skintone 8 and then manipulated it with the "useTattoo" function so that it doesn't display on others with tattoo 8 assigned. It has something to do with the X,Y coordinates but I haven't quite figured out exactly how he got that to happen but I do know that's what he did.

What I learned from that is the duplicate and assign doesn't create a new texture it just does what it says and "duplicates" it. So we are still very limited in how many unique tattoos we can have. Skintone 8 that he used remains that texture for anyone else you assign it to so you can't just keep making a bunch of skintone 8's to use.

You need to use textures included in the game and redirect them to where you want. It's tricky because all of the textures in the game are obviously used in other capacities so you have to be careful.

What I decided to do was to make a tattoo mod that uses generic tattoos that replicate the same placement and look of real tattoos and put them on 90 percent of the players who have them in real life. Its hard to explain but check out this small sample preview of what I have done.

Here is what I have done:

I was very creative in getting available texture slots and managed to get a total of 11 slots to use. There are 8 skintones included in game and you only really need 4. The difference between consecutive tones is very minimal so I used skintone 1,4,6 and 8 textures. There is also 8 different skin tones only used by the create a player in the Face of the Franchise mode. I took tone1,2,3 and made them the three different shades of people and redirected any directory pointing to them which freed up 5 more slots. Because those skintones all mirror they would be used for anyone with 2 arm sleeves. In order to have textures for people with one sleeve I needed the actual tattoo textures used in game so I used Derek Carr's because his tattoo is barely seen anyways, and OBJ's and just used a mirrored one for him as he covers one with an arm sleeve anyways. Interesting side note Kamara's is just there the game doesn't actually use it. I left Mike Evans alone.

I then made the tattoo textures.

I then went through the entire Madden directory in frosty removing and redirecting any of the skin tones from places they would conflict and replaced them with tones I left alone. So for example you have to change all the coaches associations or they would have tattoo's. etc.....

I grabbed google on my phone looking at each player and went through every face scan included player and assigned appropriate tattoo texture or different skintone in frosty. I have 6 different double arm tattoo sleeves for dark skin also one left and one right. 90 percent of the tattoos I found I needed for dark skin so thats the bulk of where the resources went. I had 2 medium skin 2 sleeve textures and 1 single arm(chose right arm lol) and only one 2 sleeve light skinned as hardly any white dudes have tatttoos apparently. This step is completed.

I then wen't into a fresh roster and in game I had to go through each non face scanned player and assign them tattoos if they have them or change them away from tattoos if they have them as a result of using 1,4,6 skintones. There is no 8 for some reason in the CAP editor. I am half done this step.

I will then have to go through free agents and then I will release the mod with the needed roster most likely thursday.

Lastly I plan on going through 2020 and 2021 real draft classes of my choice and make them compatible on the weekend probably.

Re: CujoMatty Madden 20 Generic Tattoo Project

Amazing work, dude!!!

Thanks and thanks for the help. I’m also still working on face textures but I can’t get it to work. Anytime I import a face texture, in game the face turns all black. I found were you need to change out belichek in frosty though. I’ll keep you updated.

Re: CujoMatty Madden 20 Generic Tattoo Project

You will have to wait until I get the full version done then you will just have to assign skintone 4 to Fargas. Butler you would have to cover one arm with long sleeve because only double tat sleeves are possible with non face slammed players at the moment.

Once I get the full version out you don’t have to do anything any guy on the roster you can give tats to by selecting skintone 4 or 6 in edit player screen in game.
