Just in time for Opening Day, at least OOTP23's Opening Day!

This handy desktop app will help you create uniforms for use in OOTP 23. If you're familiar with the old Jersey Maker and Cap Maker you know what you're getting here.

The biggest differences:

It's the new OOTP23 jersey template!
Height maps and normal maps for created jerseys. If you don't know what height maps and normal maps are, see this stickied thread. Jerseys with "baked-in" textures are also generated for those of you who don't want to (or can't) generate normal maps. I can't guarantee that those will work with future versions of OOTP, of course.
Images you add can now by copied and pasted. This only works with the jerseys and caps, the pants are inherently simpler and don't have (or really need) any support for images at this time. I may add it down the road.
Uniforms can be reloaded into the Uniform Maker! As of now there is still some odd behavior with the built-in text elements when you reload uniforms, but at least it's there now.

What's not there:

A web app. Going forward, the web apps will basically just be in maintenance mode. The desktop app(s) will be seeing the majority of whatever development time I'm going to be putting into this. There will not be a web-based version of Uniform Maker.
A lot of the funkier or vintage uniform elements have not been ported over yet. So you can't really create 1870s style uniforms. Those will eventually work their way in here.

Beginning with version 0.10.0 (released on May 3, 2024) ImageMagick is no longer required!

For versions prior to 0.10.0, a working installation of ImageMagick 7 is required for full functionality - notably, some of the image and text manipulation relies on it. You can use this without ImageMagick but it won't be quite as fully featured.

Please also note that I have not paid for (and am not interested in paying for) an Apple Developer account or other code signing certificates. To be honest I'm moving to the desktop apps because I don't want to keep spending money on web hosting and having to pay for developer accounts falls into that same bucket. So you may have jump through a couple of security hoops in order to install and/or run this app, at least on macOS and Windows. That is detailed on the GitHub page. Running the apps from source bypasses the security nonsense but comes with its own learning curve.

Binaries for Windows, macOS and Linux can be downloaded from the releases page.

Unsure of which binary release you need?

Windows users will want either the OOTP.Uniform.Maker.x.x.x.setup.exe or the OOTP.Uniform.Maker_x.x.x_portable.exe. The "setup" installs like any other program, the "portable" just runs directly from wherever the file is.
macOS users will want the OOTP.Uniform.Maker-x.x.x.dmg file. That's a standard macOS "disk image" file.
Linux users will want the OOTP-Uniform-Maker-x.x.x.x86_64.rpm or OOTP-Uniform-Maker_x.x.x_amd64.deb file depending on whether they're running a RedHat or Debian derivative.

If you'd like to get email notifications when a new release is published, you can use https://coderelease.io/. Just enter eriqjaffe/OOTP-Uniform-Maker as the GitHub repository and your email address. Easy!

Have fun!
