Here is a screen capture on how to get the right nicknames when creating a new universe.

Download Nawlins (thanks sir!) 'default_teams.csv' file first

Cool, I was just going to do a video of this.

I looked over the team_info file and it looked as if the stadiums were set up right. Yet as I play I see issues as it shows teams with the wrong configurations, i.e. Saints show outdoor temps, others in Domes when they shouldn't be. Have to do some more digging.

Thanks for these logo sets.

NFL Team ID's for reference:
00 - Arizona
01 - Atlanta
02 - Baltimore
03 - Buffalo
04 - Carolina
05 - Chicago
06 - Cincinnati
07 - Dallas
08 - Denver
09 - Detroit
10 - Green Bay
11 - Indianapolis
12 - Jacksonville
13 - Kansas City
14 - Miami
15 - Minnesota
16 - New England
17 - New Orleans
18 - New York Giants
19 - New York Jets
20 - Las Vegas
21 - Philadelphia
22 - Pittsburgh
23 - Los Angeles Chargers
24 - Seattle
25 - San Francisco
26 - Los Angeles Rams
27 - Tampa Bay
28 - Tennessee
29 - Washington
30 - Cleveland
31 - Houston

I think you've got these ones wrong, Dutch

05 - Chicago
06 - Cincinnati
30 - Cleveland

Sorry, good catch. The ole Cleveland team ID 30 trick. :)

Thanks Dutch. The last set I added, NFL, are all set up correctly and just need to be DL'd into the folder.

Added a second set of logos this time with team colored backgrounds instead of the black/gray from the game. Personally I think it looks better.



A note regarding changing logos. In game when you do it make sure you check the 3 boxes on that screen; Do not modify image, Do not replace white pixels, do not replace black pixels.

Yes I found out that just today!

I know for the team we control, you can load up a new logo via top bar team menu --> TEAM LOGO.

Is there a similar screen the player can access for all the AI teams, or is it only changeable for the teams we don't control by just replacing the generic logo in the LOGOS folder ?

Yes for the AI teams. When you are looking at your teams logos, just cycle through the teams on the dropdown and update all of them.

If you want the logos for the flag replacement you can get them here.

Tweaked the field file for the in-game play. To small to really make any difference but I couldn't pass it up. It's has been posted.


I have also been trying to rework the scoreboard number, timeout and ball displays and damn, I can't figure it out, yet! I was able to do it in FOF8 and there has to be a way.

Having a lot of trouble with making my own logos. Is there a particular format (besides .bmp) that it has to be. A specific dpi? A specific .bmp format?

I don't know the technical answer specifically, except I believe a 24-bit BMP ...

I got burned on this, as the facepack I made were all 150 x 150 BMPs, but apparently not the correct format until I ran them all through a batch convert program and saved as a "Windows BMP" and it worked out OK.

I put a few helmet logos in, but they are kind of dim looking, not bright as I think they should be. I sure the setting is the problem. What am I doing wrong?

Helmet logo not looking bright, but dim. Perhaps settings?

Nope, Jim like bmp files. I have been saving them as both 24 or 32 dpi with no issue. The desaturated, black and white, versions save as an 8 dpi.

Can you post a pic?

Out of GIMP, they don't work. But, I ran them through IrfanView and they work fine.

I loaded your fictional logos for all teams in a test league and it makes a big difference in immersion... they look good!


Is there any chance you've got any fictional league logos in the works/that already existed from past versions of the game that you may upload?

I'm scouring the internet to try to find some suitable logos for the international USA/Canada/UK league I plan to eventually run with, but figured no sense in trying to reinvent the wheel if better stuff is coming or available...

Sorry, I'm using Photshop. Glad you got them working.

Which past games are you talking about?

FOF8 … logos people used for fictional/online leagues etc.

Logos working for me. YOU ARE THE MAN!

I tried to use the attachment program in this thread to upload a screenshot and it would not upload. It said upload failed. I used the snipping tool. There is no paper clip icon.

You can try Imgur. It's free.

Anybody doing a Houston Oilers Helmet and a 70's Denver Bronco helmet?

I actually have the 70's logos done. Was trying to get the stadium set t owork in the info file before I posted the universe. I may just post it for grins.

I moved away from helmets because in order to get the "sliver" to show well the helmet has to be small in the 150x150 file. Just didn't look right.

I plan on running all the logos from 70 thru 23 at some point.

Just had to add my thanks for everything you've done!!

Is there anywhere that explains how to get fictional/generated players Universe IDs in bulk? For example, once new draft classes are added in, is there away to assign fictional pics? I'm thinking of generating a bunch of fake player images using AI tools but not sure how to use them in game other than maybe looking up every players universe ID one at a time.

Others will be able to give you the exact detail but as I understand it you could verify the start and ending ID numbers in a universe players file then just assign that series of numbers to your pics. From what I understand that would then align that saved file and should pull from it when you open that universe.

I would bet a nickel this should work.

Note: I don't gamble, but this is a logical bet.

Right that makes sense, for a league started in 2023 I imagine I could create images for IDs after the end of the current 2023_rosters.csv.

That would work for randomly assigning fictional pics. Hopefully there will be some way to create and/or export draft classes. That would make matching images to positions for better matching.

Can the Conference Names be edited on this screen?
AFC North etc

I don't think so

It is in the league years or the league info files.

Funny I was just thinking about this...I assume that you have created roster pics for all active players for FOF8 in the past versions. How did you handle it when the new draft class was made? And, another assumption is that I guess if the players photos file wasn't updated for drafting, what did the program use for portraits in that case.


I am really, really new to customization here so accept my apologies if this is a dumb question.

In the LEAGUE OVERVIEW Screen
Can the Conference Names be changed?

AFC E to AFC EAST

FOF9 is the first version to have individual player portraits. In past games the player cards would just display the team logo graphic.

Probably a column width issue. Otherwise I'd expect AC there.

Expect AC There?
It's AFC E etc. there now, can't be edited to East?

It'd be AC and not AFC if it weren't using your changes.

You can change Conferences but not the but not the Divisions so it’s not taking all the changes on that screen.

Not sure how to state this more clearly. It changed the division names. They no longer are AC E, AC W, etc. They're AFC E, AFC W, etc. It's a truncation of your changes.

That’s exactly what I just stated, if you can’t see it, it’s the same difference.

You said it's NOT taking your changes, did you not? It IS taking your changes. It changed AC to AFC, but it's truncated. Are you suggesting something else???

Who's on first

Yes now, any way to untruncate it so the entire Divison name is showing also instead of just an E, W, N or S?

Random Player Pic's
 

For new players with no pictures, any way to setup random regenerated pic's?

To me this is the holy grail of the whole facial portraits issue!

Is it possible to change the slivers that appear on the league overview page underneath individual and team statistics?

Unfortunately, no
