Should be fixed now, though they're slightly out of date, as the header now looks like this:

It would have been nice if you'd asked first. Also, just throwing stuff together will result in a mess of a skin, take your time and pick a theme you want to follow. Then start designing it bit by bit, it'll soon come together.

You've still got lots of default graphics in there, and pretty much everything else is from Steklo X2.

Don't know. I've tried to add backgrounds, but I don't think SI have enabled it on the beta.

I think you're stuck with wherever you installed Steam, I can't find anything in settings. The game will download in the week before release, so it shouldn't take much time at all on release day

Well see the funny thing is that for countries like Egypt the infrastructure is already there. They have all the teams, the players, the aesthetical data. All they need is the license. Now if you replicate that with three other leagues and then charge £2 and call it the Africa pack. Would you get 10,000 sales? Maybe, maybe not. The question should be is it worth their time. Well yes it would be. Because you're not going to get a solid set of empirical data on the willingness of your userbase to buy DLC if the experiment is going to be using shit like paid for cheats.


Can you imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if they started charging for leagues? Especially if they lock out the competition editor to do it.

The lack of a 'dark' skin has puzzled me this year. SI must remember the level of complaints they got when they first moved to lighter skins (FM08? FM09, I'm old and forget easily), and I think they might use FMC for custom tournaments, though they'll likely be DLC (a British superleague or similar wouldn't be surprising).

They aren't going to bother getting licenses for new leagues, or adding smaller countries, unless something like the Premier League or Bundesliga suddenly become available, as the editor allows people who want stuff like African leagues, etc. (and it's only going to be diehards who do) to add them

I think you're both overstating the userbase of FMRTE. Also, has it been confirmed that it'll be impossible to create FMRTE (or something similar) in FM13?

I reckon they'll have found a way to stop programs like FMRTE< if theyre offering this. As FMRTE severely cuts SI's proffits.


How do you figure that?

I think we need a definitive list of awfulness:

1. Famine
2. Disease
3. Craig Burley
4. War

Craig Burley is worse than war because nobody has made a good film about Craig Burley.

#2175 Logo Resources etc.
TomDixon77

The following are useful sites for obtaining club logos:

Vector Logos

Vector logos are very high quality logos that usually need photoshop, illustrator or other decent graphics program to use. Examples of vector logo formats are .eps, .ai and .svg (often found on wikipedia)

Brands of the World
Webchantier (A little out of date, but there's still some good stuff there)
Vector Football Logos
Der WaPPenSalon (Very German-centric)
VectorLogo

As well as these, wikipedia often has svg files (an xml based vector logo type for web use) which can be rendered as high quality png files. Also think about trying the localised wikipedia sites (de.wikipedia, fr.wikipedia, etc.) as they can often have better images than the english site.

Bitmap Logos

These are the more usual image format (.png, .bmp, .jpg, etc.) these can be found in lots of ways (like google image search)

Weltfussballarchiv
(Loads and loads of images)
DFS Wappen

If you have any other good sites, post them up and I'll add them to the list
#2170 How to Create ESS v6 Logos
TomDixon77
20 years ago
1 year ago
911
Instructions

IMPORTANT: The action file for these logos will not create the logos for you, it merely automates some of the steps. You will need to make some decisions yourself along the way.

p.s. You'll find the action file download at the bottom of this post.

Before creating any logos, make sure you have a folder called Logos on your C: drive. Inside that folder create folders called Normal and Small, this is where the logos are exported to.

You'll also need to make sure any images you wish to turn into ESS logos are of a good quality and size (around 250 pixels in width or height is the minimum I'd use. Also, no more than 500 pixels in width or height, or the effect is lost), RGB format images with a transparent background. Also, make sure the image name is what you want the completed images to be called.

Here are the actions that you'll be using:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/7liFfYkQpw7Cgr79cHb44m74JGtBLcaW6ELTzAoz.png


Step One:

Taking a logo like this:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/anKoLhtuEqHILIAoaFddxVngG0q1EqM11ukyaxld.png

Play the Setup Base Layer (F2) step, which should give this:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/vbps6atkN5xtKhVIispmm818dmcceWWvTCKuhcJe.png

IMPORTANT: before executing the setup base layer action, make sure that you have selected the colour you want the depth effect to be (usually the same colour to whatever is at the edge of the image).

Now, if the depth layer is particularly dark, you'll want to change the overlay to something lighter

https://sortitoutsi.b-cdn.net/uploads/mirrored_images/RUGNixUop7tUcJOpEal2a5yIXqm1vaiHTFaftsdi.png

I use white and 5% opacity as the overlay value.

Step Two:

You'll need to pick out details of the logo to be extruded, using the magic wand tool. Once you've selected what you want, hit CTRL + J to create a new layer. Don't go crazy, as you may spoil the shine effect.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/mWPiNjgrby94FVDEmb0LzyJCPsVm5mHiE2rp1DIO.png


Step Three:

Once you're happy with what you've selected, select the new layer (not the base layer), and play the Create Effect Layer (Light) - F3 or Create Effect Layer (Dark) - F4 action depending on the colour of the layer, light/F3 should be used for dark layers, and dark/F4 for light layers. This should give you something like this:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/OJujlmJ7u4xWlZA4uxwKLRkgviS7xIL6dGlfpkLJ.png

Step Four:

You should already have the gloss layer selected (if not, select it), then use the elliptical marquee tool to select an area over the image.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/k4bWPj5ig41MDJD1aI0LrfKOavBmi22fUHsGLRin.png

Now, if you've got a dark highlight (as above) then you just need to delete the selected bit (DEL). If you've got a light highlight, then you'll need to invert the selection (CTRL+SHIFT+I) before deleting.

If you've selected things where there's more than one colour, as below:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/gAXa2ccSyYHZeBgJFHcT7hUsIDRfC4ehRnYkHVsc.png

Then you'll need to use the Change wip depth colour (SHIFT+F5) action. Simply choose the wip layer, and select the bit you want to change the colour of (having already selected the colour to change to, obviously). Then simply play the action.

Step Five:

This one's easy, just play the Finish Effect Layer (F5)

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/qDPq0Kx5DIYayJ8ZDc0eEDtmB1Feym3up7TId8N2.png

Step Six:

Now, as with the effect layers, play either Complete Base Layer (Light) - F6 (for a light effect) or Complete Base Layer (Dark) - F7 (for a dark effect). Then use the elliptical marquee tool to remove the unwanted section

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/fGebnw6s33SxXd1U0BUrLziMnZ64fk6H6Ep6d81T.png

Step Seven:

Just play the Export Logos (F7) action, and the logos will be saved to the relevant folders.
