Full college mod?: Now released in Mods

[reme]

First off thank you for this project and thanks for your prior work.

#5. I currently use your 18-19 pre-season mod and would def be interested in carrying my save over and continuing my current season on CB19.
The main interest i would have is any updated logos or courts etc for my current CB18 league to use in CB19,(appears to be #8 in your list) so having the player faces carry over would be a big help.
Thanks again for your work !!

I haven't been on the forums for a few days as I'm powering through new logo's.

First I want to say a Big Thank You to Bloomington as I was able to make contact and he gave permission to include his courts in this mod. So that will allow this to be a complete mod.
He did state that he would be to busy to do the full mod for now. Hopefully we'll see him back here pumping out new work soon.

The logos are looking great. I started with pictures larger than 500x500 pixels and cut out any TM or R in the logos and then reduced them to the 300x300 pixels the game will use and they are very sharp and crisp. They are the best I have ever made. The first release will be the teams current 2018-19 logo's. I should be done with these tonight or tomorrow. I'll post a picture tomorrow once they are complete.
Later I plan to do a retro pack you could install and use in place if you prefer, I know I will. As well as packs that will carry over previous associations from 2018, those will come first.

Two things I see posted are just a basic conference, team name and logos starting point. That will absolutely be available. I'll have about 4 of these type starting points and all will have stats or no stats. But 2 will be just the real conf, teams and logos with Wolverine defaults for everything else and more options to choose if you want something like my 2018-19 pre season mod with coaches and teams boosted for this year who are have good seasons, arena updates maybe more.

They way I'm going to have this set up should make it much easier to carry over to the next versions in the future. I'll post more about that later but I'm laying out a naming convention that should make life easier once I get once I get the basics built. But I plan to use the IMPORT PLAYER option in the create a new game. This will allow those to be used in new versions of the game, then lake logo packs that go with them. For instance any created for DDSCB19 will have graphics starting with 19_teamname. So when DDSCB20 drops you install the 2019 graphics pack, and when you bring you game from 2019 to 2020 version everything should work.

As for my previous mods that's how I plan for them to carry over to this versions. I'll post a graphics pack for say the 2018-19 preseason mod, you Import your ongoing game from DDSCB2018 to DDSCB2019, install the graphics pack and boom you ready to continue on. (the logos will be the new version). Should be able to do that for Bloomington's associations carried over as well.

Then hopefully in the future this will cut down on the work that needs to be done to go forward into future versions.

Glad to see the Real World mods are still created and maintained. I've skipped the last couple of versions of the game due to crashes that would seem to occur late in a career. Probably going to come back to it this year since my experience with CFB 19 has been so pleasant. Makes me happy to see that a mod will be ready for launch, those of you who know me, know I don't like to play without a mod :-). Maybe I will see about resurrecting my D2 Fantasy Mod.

Sounds like a great series of mods for a great game.

Startup mod is complete just needs some testing as I'm making installer tonight.
Next up conversion mods to convert 2018 associations to 2019.

Haven't come up with a name for the mod yet, open to suggestions. I don't want to use Real World as that would be Bloomington.

Some thoughts I have is
Startup Mod, as that's what this really is, a starting point for you game
College world, Again what it is and shares Bloomington as his courts will be included.
Real D1, not top of list.

Any suggestions?

I would recommend something simple and generic like.....

College Basketball NCAA Mod (2019 Edition)
College Basketball NCAA Mod (2018 Conversion Edition)

I see the First release is up.

We are in final stages of testing this mod. Most likely will be called "DDSCB19 Full College Mod"
I'm a little afraid of using NCAA in the name as they are not real friendly when it comes to those things.

If testing today goes well (no problems) then should have it up later tonight.

I'm working on 2018 conversion mods for when you import your DDSCB2018 Association (you will lose your graphics, such as logos, player portraits) as these will be separate installs.
First up will be a conversion for Bloomington mods, Then one for my 2018 mods.
