xiberger Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Sorry, but currently I don't have an in-game shot of the Marlins' fans. All I can offer you at the moment is this: Hope you like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiberger Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Ok, here's an update on this project: During the last couple of days, I've been working on the 3D crowds for all the MLB stadiums. Editing these in terms of colors isn't that difficult, but it's really tough to create logos for the fans' shirts, as they are getting stretched and therefore won't display correctly. That's why I've decided to leave the shirts blank and just give the fans a unicolor team look: However, I've got a serious problem with the installer batch file. I'm using gfxpak to copy the images into the appropriate file (cram32.fsh), but for some reason it's not working. For more information, please check out this thread: http://www.mvpmods.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=15641.html If any of you know a solution for this problem, please give me a hint, as I would really like to share this mod with the entire community. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hmm, they're still gonna have blocky heads... Maybe if you can only change the color of the people instead of making them look more realistic you should give up. Just my opinion and no one asked for it.

Sean O Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 xiberger- If you want to make this completely accurate, why don't you take a look (well, create and then take a look) at the crowd.o file. In my Baltimore Memorial and Cleveland Stadium mods I removed thousands and thousands of fans to make the park seem more realistic, so if you're doing a marlins mod, it may be worth removing all of the upper deck fans. It does make everything feel a little closer to reality. It isn't too hard to get used to, just back everything up and try futzing around with it.

xiberger Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 Thanks for the suggestion Sean O, but I think I'm fine with just coloring the fans. Since I still haven't found a solution for the installation problem, I might release the updated version and simply include the bmp files for the 3D fans. That way, those of you who want them in your stadiums would be able to install them using FshEd. What do you guys think? Good idea or bad idea?

That had an automated installer for all the parks, and I'm sure he'd let you use it if you ask nicely. Should be in the downloads area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That had an automated installer for all the parks, and I'm sure he'd let you use it if you ask nicely. Should be in the downloads area. I'm aware of that mod and have already looked into it to see how raindelay7 managed to do it. However, the files his mod replaces are type "78h|120|R5G5B5" (please don't ask me what the exactly means...). Low1, the file for the 3D fans, is type "60h|96|DXT1". After some research on the net, I found out that DXT1 is a compression type for images. And that's were I'm stuck at the moment... :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 you want to be able to do it though a command line interface correct? do you can make a batch file right? you might be able to do it using a different program, I have it working on my computer but I want to check a few more things I'll let you know later tonite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 http://www.mindwarped.com/gfshmgr.rar this contains two files gfshmgr.exe & d3dx9_25.dll the command using gfxpak was gfxpak -rp cram32.fsh jays.png low1 with gfshmgr it would be gfshmgr.exe -q cram32.fsh -put low1 jays.png -q puts the program in quiet mode type "gfshmgr" by itself for more info on the program type "gfshmgr -examples" for well examples gfshmgr is part of DOLFFIN Live by NBA2KSTUFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiberger Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 krawhitham, you're the best! Thank you so much! Works like a charm! :hail: So, in reference to Futurama, "Good news everyone! Thanks to kraw's brilliance, I'll have the updated version (including 3D fans) ready by the end of the week." I'll be posting more screenshots later today...

Sandlot Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Looks great. Is it going to be an update for every team? (Is it only through stadium upate, like replacing the stadiums?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiberger Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Looks great. Is it going to be an update for every team? (Is it only through stadium upate, like replacing the stadiums?) Yes, the mod will feature every MLB team, but it's stadium specific, as it updates two files (crowd0.fsh=2D fans, and cram32.fsh=3D fans) that are stored within each stadium big file. Therefore, if you play at Fenway, for example, the fans will wear Red Sox colors (even though it might be a Yankees-Orioles game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiberger Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 any way to change the faces on the crowd? Some of the guys look like creeps. This has been suggested before, but for now I won't touch the faces. Maybe on a later version, although I can't guarantee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
