Player Icons + Bigger Puck

Hellenstone · 03-17-2021, 06:24 PM

I made my first try for a mod to get the player squares away and make the look more interesting.
Unfortunately the mini size of the files made it hard to use a real player figure so I chose a skate with team jersey colors for the actual NHL teams.
The ZIP also includes a bigger puck file to make the puck better visible in faster games.
To use the files just copy them into your game directory:
1) into the Quick Start if you want to have it when starting a new game
e.g. Franchise Hockey Manager 7\data\quickstart_games\QUICKSTARTVERSION.quick\gr aphics\rink_pics
2) into you're existing save
e.g.Franchise Hockey Manager 7\data\saved_games\SAVEGAMENAME\graphics\rink_pics

No files except the puck gets overwritten so backup that file first

Template PNG and PSD are also included.

ATTENTION: needs FHM7 Update 7.4.132 or higher!

Would it be possible to create general player icons?
Not everyone plays the NHL...

Sure. In my download you'll find a PSD template for Photoshop and the basic PNGs to create you own player styles

Thanks for these! I guess you have to rename puck_bigger to just puck?

Love the skate! Dumb question has anyone made logos instead of skates or boxes. Just wondering?

I don't think so but now....damn...I want to see ones with the Team Mascots.

Someone needs to make this happen. Gritty vs Youppi!

Does every team need a home and away picture? or would it work with just using "player_team.png" and "goalie_team.png"?

Does every team? No, but then you'll have skates facing backwards to their net on their away games.
