Names & numbers on jerseys

eriqjaffe · 11-18-2017, 10:36 AM

This is a little something that's quietly bugged me ever since FaceGen was introduced, and as the 3d presentation becomes more prominent I think it's something that could really use some attention. In the uniform editor, I think it would be nice to allow the user to determine visibility & placement of name and number elements on the uniform. A quick mock-up of what I'm talking about:

In my mock-up the visibility is determined by the check boxes and the rounded background is color-coded to the number placement. The colored boxes overlaying the jersey can be moved, resized and rotated as desired, and that's where the numbers would be placed on top of the jersey when player pictures get generated.

The "source" for the numbers and letters could simply be a properly formatted PNG file. Something like this, which is based on something I made waaaay back in the day when I was into modding MVP 05. Each number is centered within a 32x64 location and each letter is in a specified 16x32 location. Users could modify it externally with whatever fonts they have in whatever image editing software they've got, and they could be brought into OOTP in the same way that you bring in the jerseys, with specially named files like numbers_chicago_white_sox.png and numbers_chicago_white_sox_away.png:

At the very least, I'd love to see the ability to add the front numbers (and, ideally, optional sleeve numbers).

Amen! thanks for this. I have been consistently asking for this in requests not nearly as detailed as this. I'm hoping this will get some attention from the Dev team

bumpity bump... hoping we see this in OOTP 24, along with some new dynamic camera angles to showcase them during gameplay
