great work, i can move the logo but can't resize, what am i missing? thanks

:hardware:
Awesome! Simply Awesome!
:thumbup:

Four suggestions/requests:

1. Some sort of reset would be useful if you want to create multiple caps.

2. There is at least one other texture for caps. Perhaps, we could have an option to choose between the two.

3. Can we choose how thick the font/image outline is?

4. It is minor, but sometimes i make the holes in the front of the cap a different color than the main part of the cap like this,

Admittedly, i'm being greedy here. The app really is great as is. Your programs came along just in time for me to start a new dynasty. Thanks again.

Fantastic!!

Are you making a jersey creator too? :D

fingers crossed :)

Would be icing on the cake!!!!!

If it is an image, just hover over the image with your mouse, then use your mouse wheel to increase/decrease the size of the image.

you mean the sick bump chant? :D

I just used this for the first time and its so simple, yet amazing. Thank you so much for making this for the community Justafan!!!!!!!!!!!

Mousewheel to resize.

1. I'm not sure this is needed.

2. What texture is that?

3. It's a 1 pixel outline now and I guess I could add a 2 pixel, but any more than that would be too much.

4. I'll look into that.

I have considered it, but I don't think it's gonna happen. There's just too many options for jerseys.

That said, I will play around with it when I get a chance and see what's possible.

This came from a cap_template_V1.0.psd file that was posted some time ago. It is too big for me to upload. i'm guessing it is still floating around somewhere. Anyway there are two other textures in there too. A mesh and a knit texture are there

Great utility, Justafan. Is it possible could add some cap piping like this...

I'm going to echo everyone else's sentiment. Thank you justafan for this wonderful tool. :woohoo:

As for the jersey creator... I'll lit a candle every night. :p

:angry:

I hate talented people!

^ This

is this for Mac or PC?

PC Only

This thing should be integrated into the game next version. Essential.

Update Version 1.1

Big update, lots of changes.

• Added option to change font outline size with a custom combobox
  
• Added wider pinstripes
  
• Moved pinstripe options to a custom combobox
  
• Moved all object radiobuttons to a dropdown button
  
• Got rid of the medium shading and added sliders to adjust opacity of dark and light shading
  
• Added textures (knit, mesh, and motted) and added a slider to adjust opacity

• Ability to replace "Ballcap Creator" with your own mark or none at all. Just edit bc.png or delete it if you want it blank.

New screenshot in first post.

Amazingly simple to use, while producting great results!

A huge 'thank you' once again!

Dis guy is a Jeanyus with a capital J.

Incredible.

Update version 1.11

Small update. It was driving me mad that I kept hitting the wrong button when I tried to select an object to color, so I moved it to the top, made it thicker, and made the whole button clickable rather than just the arrow on the right.

It's fantastic Mr. JUSTAFANTASTIC!!!

Super cool.

Would love to see what you can do for a jersey maker, even if it's just the basics.

Yeah I am praying on the lucky stars that the very talented Justafan can create a jersey creator program! :D

Just curious, what version of Windows are you guys running this on?

I have Windows 7. Any problems with Windows 8 or older versions?

Oh great... first the logo program... now this?!

Im going the way of the dinosaurs! :crying:


Cool bro, cool.
:thumbup1:

I'm using 7 as well, so can't help you there.

I am running Windows 8.1 on Microsoft Surface Pro 3; no issues for me either! :)

Please do the same for the rest of the buttons.

Amazing stuff justafan!

The only other one is the color select combobox, but yeah, I can do that.

using 8.1 no problems here

it flashes this app might harm your system I click more info then click run anyway

Is that just a Windows 8 security setting thing?

Yeah I think so

Outstanding! Thanks so much, Justafan!

:thumbup:

A big thanks for this.

I've been traveling and only got a few minutes to try it out last night, but wow! Exactly what I need.

I particularly like that the program looks to the fonts I have installed on my machine and not pre-selected. That way I was able to use Algerian for my Fredericksburg Zouaves cap, and some other weird one for the Staunton Lunatics (actual Western Virginia League team!) in an Old Dominion Association I've been playing/working on for several iterations of OOTP.

I'm glad you like it. It's good to know it's getting used, otherwise I feel like I'm wasting my time.

Just to let everyone know, I have looked into making a Jersey Creator program and I think it's doable. It may not have all the bells and whistles that some of the templates have, but I think I can squeeze in enough to make it useful.

If it could just be easier to use than programs like Gimp. With a way to have sleeves one color, the jersey front another color, and a simple way to create that lettering that sort of curves across the front of the jersey.

Over the years I've spent countless hours trying to make something vaguely useful using Gimp, but with only minimal success.

I'll download the ballcap creator as soon as I type this and give it a whirl. The results people have posted look just amazing! Thank you again!!

Dude, this is so useful Marcus needs to pay you a dime to include it as...well...an included program. I'm not talking Mods central either. I'm talking about your own special menu.

I think you should change the name of the program though. It should be called "how justafan gets chicks". :thumbup1:

There is a God! ;)

Oh yeah, it will be easier than Gimp. I never got the hang of that program either. That's what I'm shooting for with these programs. I want anyone to be able to create logos, caps, and jerseys without the cost and learning curve.

I believe Markus uses C++ and I haven't used that in over 20 years. Hell I haven't done any programming in over a decade not to mention I was never that good at it. I just picked it up again when the forums went down for a weekend not long ago and I was bored.

Oh yeah pawn, I got chicks all over the place. That's why I'm sitting in front of a computer pounding keys.
