@Footygamer  I didn't explain myself well; I have already posted a real kit and it is now active. If I want to change it what should I do?

 

Just submit the updated one to the timeline, the original will then be deactivated when the new one is approved.

The program is currently in testing. I am hoping to make it cross-platform but as I don't have access to Mac or Linux I will be relying on feedback. From my own testing on Windows, the renaming and sorting functions seem to work well. I managed to rename 12000+ kits in a couple of hours, the average kit pack only takes a couple of seconds so I think it will be pretty useful. It covers every type of in-game graphic too, not just kits.

@Armamaddon 

 

There should be the version of the actual database” the problem with this is that some people want to keep their kit folders from year to year so they at least have last years kit if the new kit hasn't been released. If we then release Luton in a Championship folder they'll still have last years Luton in a Premier League folder, it becomes a mess.

 

Also not everyone agrees it should be the version of the “actual database”, see here @bolid74 asked for it to be updated to the 24/25 database. If not everyone agrees what structure to use it seems impossible to use a structure?

 

“I have a very detailed order like” And again the emphasis here is “I have", your detailed order may not be the same as other peoples, who's preference do I listen to?

 

The original plan was to release a desktop app which would have solved these discussions by letting you rename and reorganise the files named by ID however you like, the reason it wasn't released is threefold (1) lots of other people promised they were releasing one but never did (2) I get distracted with people asking for work on other things like the data update and stopped working on kits (3) i'm scared FM25 is going to change things drastically so I don't want to spend weeks working on something that will be dead in a couple of months.

 

I know @xbenjaminx is working on one but I don't know if it will have the features we need to rename/reorganise kit folders.

 

Maybe i'll get another chance in the next few weeks we'll see.

 

Also in terms of reorganising. The version I currently have working on organises the kits into a basic graphics folder setup. It has limited customisation options but I am working on versions that will have much more. I just want to get the basic principles down and give the community something to work with.

At the moment what I have does the following:

Search for graphics - Links you straight to this site via the database section so you can get graphics and data
Rename graphics - Dump a graphics pack and it's config into the sort folder and it will rename everything by UID (and suffix where applicable)
Error check graphics - Performs basic error checking ensuring graphics are in the right format etc.
Write config - Write the config.xml file to get everything showing in-game

Sort graphics - Sorts the graphics packs into the correct folders to keep your graphics organised

Obviously there are limitations as this is still a very rough draft. As I mentioned, customisation options are somewhat limited at the moment but it will do the basic things to get graphics sorted and into the game quickly. I also promise to keep it up-to-date in terms of FM25 and subsequent releases being released because potentially such a tool will be really helpful

First, we can't serve everybody. It is a fact we can't deny. There is no perfect solution for everybody. This should not lead us to a “it is what it is”-kind of view. Given example is a problem in any case (besides the actual one) by the way and may be the only advantage.

 

Bolid asked for it, because it makes sense and it would be the “actual database” for 24/25 - which will be the standard once FM25 is released. Therefore actual releases for the “new” season will have to be in the “old” database as long there is no solution for the database-problem till release.

 

I just gave an example. The system before the contribution system was also kind of like that. It is not like I want to break a traditional system. I don't want to sound like my version is the best of it all, just maybe considering it would be kind of a good one to order things. It is a good base for both variants - people who want ordered stuff and people who want to keep older kits (in any case you have to do stuff, but in an unordered state people who want order have to do more, way more).

 

I don't want to blame you for anything, as it is not your fault if you trust in people and just want to have a good set of graphics. But, I guess we can agree on the point, that there is room for improvement.

How about as an alternative, rather than kit makers changing how they do things we could still simply have the submission system for requests with sources only. That way they're all organised and new people can understand the system and how to make a request.

 

Then the collection of completed images into packs still happens the old way. But we can work directly with @hammer9 to come up with some improvements that makes his life easier for him and anyone else can easily step in if he's offline for whatever reason.

 

I'm open to all suggestions.

 

u guys do amazing work i think without u and facepack and stadiums etc packs the game is empty tastless and useless , besides all the amazing kit pack the mancity pack of 3d kit not working whatsoever in any league game it only did in friendlies and champ league is it like a hard coded infile? because its weird the kit pack work fine for every club only mancity in league games its broken

@cov182004 you're not supposed to post in this thread that's why. Try reading the first post and visit the submissions system to submit your request to the Coventry section

in what sense, this is not a request thread so kit makers are not likely to look in this thread for requests. 

 

This thread is for feedback, (which I appreciate you have provided in the quoted post) and technical questions about the submission system.

The fact that this thread is called “New submission system for SS Kits” might of eluded to the reason why I posted in this thread

That system is horrendous

Can you give more specific feedback @cov182004 ? Its been working well for more than 10 years for the data update and 7 years for the cut out faces. Just saying “horrendous” isn't exactly very helpful or informative. Do you think we should scrap the system across the entire website? Or do you think there's something unique to kits that make it unfeasible? What do you think would work better?

@Footygamer I know I had a different opinion when this system was set up. But now I think it would be best if the 3D kits had their own browsing and submissions system. The 3D kits are by all likelihood also used by people who use the FC'12 kits and it is also actually more active than the SS' kits right now.

So for a variety of reasons I think it would be more appropriate with a separate browsing and submissions system for the 3D kits:

https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/8/3d-kits

 

Only took 15 months but the 3D kits have now been switched out into their own style with their own megapacks.

 

The latest SS Megapacks still include 3D kits but future ones won't.

 

It is very probable that this refactor has caused bugs it had been a pretty big task to switch them out. If you encounter anything odd please report it first before trying to manually clean anything up and of course please be as detailed as possible when reporting something 🙂

 

It seems like pre 2024 most of the images are not in the submission system and still in all the manual packs. I can't remember why this is, I think possibly it was just forgotten by me, I will look into extracting all of these so the historical 3D kits are still available.

 

Of course just to be clear reason for finally getting this done is because I anticipate SS Kits being compatible with FM26 but 3D kits not being compatible so expect a new 3D style being made available post FM26.

Let me understand can I post the kits with the new method and also on the forum?

Any chance of you beginning to make SS' kits again. I feel like I scared you away.

You can are completely free to choose how to add your kits to the site 👍

only on the forum, only in the submissions system, or both places.

https://sortitoutsi.net/content/175/ss10-13-official-kits

 

You can now upload many kits at once to the submissions system using the “upload multiple” button.
