Various Packages

I am working on a few different graphics mods and hope to post them here as they are completed. I feel that at least 25% of the immersion we get from the game involve the displays so they should represent as well as they can.

NFL - Current (NFL17) 1.05
- First up is an NFL refresh for a current league setting with 32 teams. I revamped my field file and added some additional detail, resized the main logos so they fit/display better on the game screen (reduced overlap), altered the small team logos so they display easier for old eyes like mine, includes jerseys, etc. It also includes a modded teams.xml file that you can copy into the data folder so they team construct occurs when you create a new NFL17 league.

NOTE: It may be all good...

Alternate Large Logo Set - NFL17

- Just a set of large logos for a different visual. Must be installed separately. Examples:

NOTE: I verified that all the files work but there is currently one issue I know of and am trying to figure out. The main team logos (TEAM300.png) do not load during the league contruction but they can be loaded from the team config screen and work as advertised. If I find an error and correct it I will update the data file.

Two things that I noticed right away, which likely contributes to your issue with team logos.

1) One issue is on your Green Bay line, you have an attribute as "LogoMain", should just be "Logo".
2) The main reason your not seeing the Large Team Logo is your missing an attribute on every team to show them. There needs to be a "LogoLarge" attribute and then you assign the large team logo to it. Once you do this, you should see all those logos get loaded.

Didn't look beyond that for now, but I suspect once you correct those two things, they shoud load.

Thanks Sly. Not sure why the attributes changed, I just opened the file and worked what was there. I will rework it and repost when I finish.

Thanks Sly. Not sure why the attributes changed, I just opened the file and worked what was there. I did search around in the file but when I found them listed as "mascots" in other locations I just left them. I will rework it and repost when I finish.

Don’t know, my teams file had them from as long as I can remember doing the real world mod.

Also, few other minor issues you might want to take a look at as your updating the logos.

Detroit Lions
Mascot name says "Pride", should be "Lions"
Endzone name in "LogoEndZone" is incorrect. It has a "," between the name and "PNG", should have a ".". Otherwise won't show in game.

Steelers
The name of the custom field image for Steelers doesn't match the teams file, therefore doesn't show. In the teams file it is "steelers_cf.png", while the image is named "steeler_cf.png" (missing the s)

Weather
Likely not the intent of this mod and just using the default with the game, but some teams not mapped to the specific city where the stadium is located. One example (but others), Titans is attached to Knoxville, where it actually is in Nashville. Typically with my real world mod, I modify my own Weather file and then within the Teams file, I use the Weather attribute to align the team with the correct city in the custom Weather file. Certainly understand you may have no desire to do this which is totally fine, just wanted to make you aware.

On the Field Player Colors
You may not be interested in doing this, but the Teams file also has attributes to allow coloring the 3D players on the field if desired. You'll see the attributes below if interested.

Appreciate the list, was actually going to throw one out and ask if it was correct. Question, what is the purpose of "logo" if the other 3, large, midfield and small, basically cover the applications? Like your mod my intent is to try and create "packages" that anyone interested could DL and apply to a new league. I started a number of these years ago but my on again, off again, affair with DDSPF kept me from finishing them. As for weather I have thought about editing/adding to the file as well, just haven't gotten around to it. Thanks again, appreciate your feedback/input.

Generally speaking (not all places but gives you an idea)

Logo - Most used throughout the game
Team Dashboard (next to player images on impact list)
Matchup
Boxscore
League News
Team Selection
Season Preview
Dashboard Schedule
PBP
Play Analysis

Large
Coach creation screen
Team dashboard - header
Player Popups
In Game

Midfield
If your not using custom fields, will show on the field within a game

Small
Just about everywhere else (i.e. ticker, standings, various lists, etc.)

NFL17 link has been updated with a corrected teams.xml that fixes a graphic load issue. If anyone finds any other issues please let me know.

Just FYI, the latest files still have the following issues.

Detroit Lions
Endzone name in "LogoEndZone" is incorrect. It has a "," between the name and "PNG", should have a ".". Otherwise won't show in game.

Steelers
The name of the custom field image for Steelers doesn't match the teams file, therefore doesn't show. In the teams file it is "steelers_cf.png", while the image is named "steeler_cf.png" (missing the s)

Also, new issue introduced, if you look at the Texans line, they have some Colts files assigned.

<Team ID="12" City="Houston" Mascot="Texans" Abbreviation="Hou" Logo="Colts300.png" LogoLarge="Colts300.png" LogoMidfield="Texans100.png" LogoSmall="Texans_s.png" CustomField="Texans_cf.png" LogoEndzone="Texans_ez.png" Jersey="Texans_j.png" Stadium="NRG Stadium" Dome="True" LastYearStandings="4" Color="#E4002B" Color2="#1D1F2A" />
