OOTP 24 Uniform Maker

[Hrycaj]

I'm a little late to the party here but just wanted to chime in and share how much I love the new uniform maker. Everything to having an in app color picker to having the ability to construct the whole uniform (Hat, Jersey, pants) in one spot is just fantastic. Thanks for all of your efforts!

I have to admit, I haven't seen any behavior like that. I'll see if I can replicate it and if so, I'll see if I can fix it.

Could it be something with Image Magic? I say that because it seems to happen whenever I try to arc the word mark, it disappears. It appears to be less of a problem with 8.7 (it happened sometimes but not enough to make a stink about it) and not at all with the versions before that.

It must have something to do with the ImageMagick detection since I haven't changed anything else in the way it gets used - and even that detection method hasn't changed since 0.8.3.

I suppose the workaround would be roll back to a previous version, they're all available on the releases page: https://github.com/eriqjaffe/OOTP-Un...Maker/releases

@drksd4848, there are two things that you can try to help troubleshoot:

1. Run the app from a command or powershell prompt - just open one of those cup, navigate to c:\program files\OOTP Uniform Maker and run "OOTP Uniform Maker.exe" from there. Should be something like this:
   
   
   
   I think you can do the same thing from the terminal in macOS but I'm not as familiar with that. But if there are errors being generated on the back-end, they should output to the command prompt window.
   
   
2. You can also open the developer tools in the app itself - from the "View" menu, choose "Toggle Developer Tools" or press CTRL-SHIFT-I:
   
   
   
   That will bring up the apps' internal console - errors being generated on the front-end should output to the "console" tab. If you've ever opened the developer tools in Chrome, it'll look familiar because, well, that's exactly what you're looking at.
   
   

I try to keep the app quiet and not spam the logs (not that they're being written to disk or anything), but if you can replicate the issue and anything is getting logged it might help me track down what's going on.

Hey Eriq,


Just an update. It seems like the word mark freezes up when I modify the colors, not the curve. I reinstalled just to see if anything was corrupted, but nope. So, whenever I tinker around with the colors, the wordmark freezes up then vanishes. I dunno

Edit: OK, I've narrowed it down. If I set any color to transparent on *only* the wordmark (not the jersey font, the stripes, etc) it freezes. If I set the thickness it zero no problems... weird, eh? So, that is the work-around for me. Not sure if it's something to look into. Also, I kept exporting the wordmark separate from the jersey as a backup incase it froze, so that feature was useful, happy to report

Thanks for helping me through this!!

Tha is interesting, although I still can't seem to make it happen myself. Does this happen even if you are using the "plain" text option?

OK, I tested it a little more, with plain, curved, swash, etc. All worked fine. When I set the boarder width to zero, fine. When I set the color to transparent on the boarder colors, then I can't modify the text ( I type, then nothing happens). If I switch from plain to arced, etc, then the text disappears and I have to reload.

So, It seems setting any wordmark color to transparent sets everything out of whack. Easy to work around though.

I guess if you are not seeing it, and no one else has complained, it must be something on my end

That gave me the breadcrumb I needed to find the issue, thanks!

I should be able to publish an update at some point later today.

Version 0.8.9 has been released!

What's Fixed

• Fixed an issue where setting any of the jersey wordmark colors to "transparent" would render them no longer editable - thanks to drksd4848 for helping identify the bug!

I'm happy to be a useful member of the OOTP Uniform Maker beta team!

I cannot second this strongly enough. I am looking at this program intensively for the first time tonight, in preparation for my upcoming uber-league, and I am simply flabbergasted by its comprehensive utility and that Eriq shares it with the community freely and openly.

What are the Start and End numbers for? All I can see so far is that they are appended to the file names ...

[drksd4848]

I think at one point there was talk of having an in-game feature where you specify the dates of when to use certain alternate jerseys. For example, if you wanted your team to where a specific jersey for Memorial Day weekend in the US, you could set the dates for that.


I believe what you are seeing in Uniform Maker was in anticipation of that feature...


That's what I believe anyway. Eriq obviously would know better than me

That is for the first year and the last year that particular jersey is to be worn.

The start number is the first year the uniform was worn. The end number is the last year the uniform was worn. The result looks like this:

[Déjà Bru]

Thanks for the responses. Of course, it makes sense that Eriq would have provided that capability. I will now resume being flabbergasted by this program.

[Déjà Bru]

A tip to people who are new to this program: Aside from glancing through this thread, you don't need a manual. Just dive in and start playing with the controls and you will learn it in no time. Many features will become self-evident as you change colors because most are set for default white and they blend together.

My first uniform is complete. Behold, your future world champion Atlanta Peaches! (crowd roar )



My only remaining questions are about the Uniform Type box:

1) The only available selections are "Home" and "Home Alternate." Why not "Away"?

2) If, assuming that the purpose of this box, like Start and End (years) is for appending information to the file names, why is it not at least applying "Home" to these files? (I am using 0.8.9.)

You can enter whatever you want in that box - just start typing. It will auto-suggest some things but you can ultimately enter whatever you want in there.

Because OOTP doesn't recognize the "home" designation. If there's nothing there it's assumed to be the home jersey. Other jerseys require a designation for OOTP to pick it up automatically.

What an absolutely brilliant program Eriq. Just wow! Can't believe how easy it is now to make your own uniforms. Without this program there would be no way I could make my own uniforms. I have been using the program for a few days now and have made quite a few already. Below a sample of some of the uniforms I've made. Once you get going you can make 'm pretty quickly. Uniforms and logos really bring a league to life, it makes a massive difference how a league feels with good logos and unis. These uniforms will complete my fictional league. Thanks eriq, you are the man!
