Announcing the web-based Cap Maker!

Good morning!

A few months back, I published an online Park Generator. Toward the tail end of the process, I began to wonder what else I could do with the same basic web technologies.

To that end, I preset Cap Maker!



It's heavily influenced by justafan's terrific (and more full-featured) Ballcap Creator. The main difference is that a web-based utility is platform agnostic. Mac, Windows, Linux, mobile device? As long as it's a relatively modern browser, this should work.

It's fairly basic in terms of the designs you can create, but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out. Let me know if you have any questions, suggestions, or what have you.

Like the Park Generator, the Cap Maker is available at OOTP Utilities.

Have fun!

Awesome, mate!!!
I'l give you some feedback when I'm done. Hey, either way......it's people like you and justafan (among others, including the guys that take requests for unis etc) that cause a genre like this )OOTP and FOF type sims) to flourish and are successful.

So.......a BIG THANK YOU, to YOU ALL, for doing this - these types of things for us!!!!!

Odd - the link works in every browser on my computer, as well as on my phone. Might be an issue with your ISP not being updated - can you get to the Park Generator?

How does this exactly work (the cap one)? Are we supposed to enter in info on the brim, panels, etc? If so, I am unable to enter in anything.

Basically just check the boxes and set the colors for the elements you want to use. Each section header is clickable and will show a set of cap elements. Each element (except for uploaded logos) has dedicated color pickers so you can change the colors to your liking.

As far as logos, you can upload your own in the "Logo Image" section or use some pre-included fonts in the "Logo Text" section.

Yeah, neither the Ball Park Generator nor the Cap Maker works on Chrome for me. I can get to the link, but can't input anything. However, on MS Explorer I can. So, it's all good!!

This Ball Park Generator is going to help out HUGE. I never knew it existed before today, lolol...

Eriq, can you tell me the advantages of using your program vs Justafan's? Not that you want to knock JF's work but how is yours better, easier to use, etc?

Oh, mercy, no. Justafan's is a far superior utility. As I said, mine basically started as an experiment - when I realized that I had something that actually worked pretty well, I decided that since I'm already paying for hosting for the Park Generator, I may as well just put it out there. The main (if not the only) advantage to mine is that since it runs in a browser, you don't need to be running Windows.

Also, I think there's some features in yours that Justafan's doesn't have, but the same can be said vice versa.

Very impressive! I can finally make some uniforms on my Mac, that is if you release a jersey maker as well.

there's the added file naming for years, away, alt, etc. There are also more templates for older style caps.

Nice job!

The platform independence is a major feature for Mac users--which I'm not. Next is you have lots of terrific fonts that I don't have, so that's good. As is the years and home/away labeling.

However, the lack of the color picker function is a major drawback for me. I've learned to click on the logo I found and use that color in the hat.

All in all, very cool.
