1979 Topps Card Mod: Complete Set

Tiesenberg · 07-23-2010, 12:04 AM

With the release of the most recent OOTP Patch, I was able to complete my first full Card Mod set, the 1979 Topps Collection.

Here is the "default" Card:

The "All-Star" Card:

The "Hall of Fame" Card:

The .zip can be downloaded at: 1979 Topps.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download

If you have any suggestions or comments, please don't hesitate to share. I have a few more sets that just need some fixing up on the HOF and All-Star card. I hope to have those sets up by early next week.

Great job! Those look sharp!

Message padresfan to have him put it up on his site. Hopefully he'll have to create a section just for card templates. At least a sub section.

Really great job.

2 questions; is it possible to change the player name font, looks a little vanilla right now- also, how about putting in the team's city name somewhere, looks to me like its missing something without Pittsburgh, St Louis etc, though this may be a design decision.

Again though, excellent work, you guys are really making a great contribution to the community.

Super nice looking!

Well Done!

For some reason I was having a hard time getting these to work right when I followed the instructions for copying them from the Topps 1979 folder. Everytime I try, the front of the card ends up missing half of the players picture.

They look really great and I'd love to see them work in-game but I don't know what is causing this. Your other card mods all work fine and I really enjoy them.

Same thing is happening to me.

I'll try and set aside some time today to give this a look.

Hopefully I can find the error.

Thanks guys for posting it!

For those that were having problems with the Default Card, I have double checked on my end and have been unable to duplicate the problem.

Below is the current XML Content that is being used with my cards (I did add one line of XML, but it's unrelated to the problem).

Locate your BB_Card Folder and then find the Default.xml file.

Erase the current section titled  and replace it with what is below. If the problem remains, let me know and I will have to dig a little deeper.

HTML Code:

  <!-- Photo Data - Front of Card -->

		<ELEMENT type="image" x="0" y="0" zorder="3" content="1979topps.png" />

		<ELEMENT type="image" x="5" y="16" width="180" height="215" zorder="1" content="PICTURE" />
	
		<ELEMENT type="image" x="5" y="43" width="180" height="210" zorder="1" trialpha_red="[%TEAM_BG_COLOR]" trialpha_green="[%TEAM_BG_COLOR]" trialpha_blue="[%TEAM_BG_COLOR]" content="1979teambar.png" />
	
		<ELEMENT type="text" x="55" y="231" width="100" height="24" align="shrink" valign="middle" zorder="8" font_name="verabd" font_color="[%TEAM_TEXT_COLOR]" font_x_size="15" font_y_size="14" content="[%TEAM_NICK]" />

		<ELEMENT type="text" x="35" y="223" width="140" height="9" align="shrink"  zorder="20" font_name="vera" font_color="#000000" font_x_size="10" font_y_size="9" content="[%PERSON_NAME]" />
	
		<ELEMENT type="text" x="177" y="223" width="140" height="9" align="left" zorder="25" font_name="vera" font_color="#000000" font_x_size="10" font_y_size="9" content="[%POSITION_SHORT]" />

I can see the problem:

ELEMENT type="image" x="5" y="16" width="180" height="215" zorder="1" content="PICTURE"

ELEMENT type="image" x="5" y="43" width="180" height="210" zorder="1" trialpha_red="[%TEAM_BG_COLOR]" trialpha_green="[%TEAM_BG_COLOR]" trialpha_blue="[%TEAM_BG_COLOR]" content="1979teambar.png" /

The z-order is the same for both. They shouldn't be the same. I believe that the program is forced to choose which one is on top. Sometimes it chooses correctly, sometimes it chooses incorrectly.

Changing the height too, as brewdog suggested, could help the problem too. The field you're making is a bit too large, I think.

But in general, you'd need to fix the problem one of those two ways, you needn't do both.

Just an FYI, using this code (and changing the zorders so the image and teambar aren't on the same level) worked for me.

Anyone have a link to the 79 file?

I looked through everything I have and I can't find it anywhere.

I am starting to wonder if I ever had it!
