So, the 150x150 goes for player photos as well?

Are they face shots or action shots?

Mostly in-game shots. The only mug shots I use are for the truly obscure cup-of-coffee guys if that's all I have.

No they're not. I have details somewhere; I'd need to have a look. However, I don't think it's worth getting started on this yet. The GUI is still a work in progress and so there's always the chance things like face image functionality may change somewhat.

Edit: Let me know when to start the Facepack project (Sizes. I have the original mugshots (No action pictures, Don't like 'em) for the finnish Hockey league (90% of them) and some NHL images standing by.

This is one thing that we should find out, if the game uses the logos like in FM (Elite team, Reserve team and the junior team uses the same logo) or is it like in EHM, where you had to make every logo for every team.

Heh no worries! I'm just grateful for the help. It eases the pressure on me so I can concentrate on testing and researching.

I will test it out in game when I find a spare moment. I suspect it is EHM-style.

frisland · 10-26-2012, 03:10 PM

I updated my list of Canadian Junior A logos on page2 of thread, i'm about half way done. I'll send you the completed ones soon.

A big thank you to everybody who has helped produce logos. We now have in excess of 700 teams covered!

I now need to go through all of the new logos and check filenames, etc. Once I've been through everything, I will make a list of what leagues I/we still need to cover (it will probably take me a couple of weeks due to various commitments).

frisland · 11-12-2012, 09:47 AM

just sent you three more JUNIOR A leagues (Northern Ont / Saskatchewan / Superior International)

only one left from my page two list is Ontario Junior A

frisland · 11-29-2012, 10:02 AM

finally started working on OJHL, you'll probably get it tomorrow or monday.

geckon · 11-30-2012, 07:37 PM

Hi, I am new to this forum and it was only recently that I discovered about this game to be planned and worked on. I am very excited about that information and looking forward to see it released and buy it.

I'd also like to contribute to this logo pack if possible.
Is the Czech Extraliga completely done? I mean including the Piráti Chomutov team which is Extraliga's "newbie" this season?
What about KHL? Does it include new teams such as HC LEV Praha and HC Slovan Bratislava?
If the answers are "yes" I would probably set about completing Czech First and Second hockey leagues (which are minors to the Extraliga). Or has someone made them already? I don't see them in the list so I suppose that they ar not completed. If that assumption is false please let me know.

archibalduk, is it OK to send you just the logos unscaled and with visible background? My skills for working with graphics software is not particularly strong and I'm afraid I could screw it up.
Also should I use file names with the czech special characters (like ěščřžýáíé) if they are in a team's name or should I replace them with their ASCII "equivalents"? I hope there will be special characters used in the team names in the game.

Thanks for your advices. I could find time to do the task over the weekend (I don't promise anything though).

Fantastic! Thanks ever so much for all of your help.

I have been working on some additional leagues too. I will post an updated list either this weekend or next week.

Thank you for your offer of help! I am happy for you to send the logos to me with backgrounds for me to tidy up, etc. When collecting images, please ensure that their height and/or width is at least 150px (I don't like to enlarge images because they become poor quality). It is also helpful if the background to the image is a single colour because otherwise it can be difficult to make the background transparent.

The KHL, Czech Extraliga and 1st Division are done. We have logos for Piráti Chomutov, HC LEV Praha and HC Slovan Bratislava.

Please feel free to do the Czech Second Division/League. Please do use the special characters as appropriate (we are using the correct special characters in the game).

Let me know if you need any further explanation. Thanks again!

OK, this is what I would want to comply with anyway so there is no problem.

Well, I have done 1st division over the night. I should have probably wait for your answer. Anyway, if you don't mind, I'll send you my version just for the case that it contains something to improve the logo pack. OK?

I thank you for the coordination

geckon · 12-01-2012, 11:30 AM

As I wrote to the pm to you, archibalduk, I have completed the second czech minor league. So please noone work on it so we don't duplicate our work :-)

Maybe a little off topic but I wonder if there is similar effor to put the team rosters, player data (now I mean height, weight, position, jersey number, capitancy, club history, maybe stats from past years,... not attributes), team data (like stadium's name, capacity, year of foundation etc) together. I would like to join such effort and maybe improve the chance to be able to play <my_favourite_leagues> (whatever they are) and play them more realistically. I am not too strong in knowledge to provide player attributes (how good they are, I mean) but I could start gathering the other "dispassionate/objective" data.

I imagine that developers work on such task and if I could help them I would try.

archibalduk · 12-01-2012, 03:38 PM

That was fast! I sent my email address to you via PM.

As for roster data, there is a small team of us carrying out research for the database. I will pass on your name to the developers, but I don't know whether or not they are recruiting at the moment.

OK, it'd be great if I could contribute with my 2 cents, thank you. If anything please let me know.
For the record, when you wrote "roster data" did you mean also team data (like info about the stadium, maybe names of the managers and coaches etc) and so on?

EDIT1: What about player's faces? Are those planned? Is there a facepack being created too? I could contribute probably.

EDIT2: Has Slovak 1st liga (minor to Slovak Extraliga) got logos? I could do them (if you like my Czech logos). If I am to collect them and you have any notes on my czech logos please let me know so I don't repeat my mistakes. Thanks.

Yeah we're researching everything.

No plans on facepacks at the moment. It's well worth holding fire with this at the moment.

The Slovak 1st league hasn't been done yet.

geckon · 12-01-2012, 05:35 PM

Holding fire with facepack is worth because of not being sure how faces will be displayed? When face collecting begins I hope I'll be still as excited as I am now and therefore I'll help with this

I'll take the Slovak 1st then. Do you have any comments on the logos I sent to you?
