@zigmmund, avoid requesting images which have been cut already; do take the time to check a person's timeline before requesting an image for them. 

 

If an image has been cut recently which is very similar to the image you were thinking of requesting, then there is really no need to request it again. We have a limited amount of cutters, so cutting the same person repeatedly makes very little sense.

It makes no difference whatsoever. A source image is a source image, irrespective of who the person is contracted to. If it makes you feel better, you could have renamed the pack as Ukraine mixpack instead of Kolos, and included all the other images you uploaded individually 😉

 

Also, sources like this are ideal for cutting, so why not give them a go yourself and avoid having to depend on others to do them for you?

 

I recommend using remove.bg for your cuts. It's a fantastic free online tool which does the heavy lifting for you by removing the background in the source image, leaving you to only rotate, crop and/or nudge the collar upwards. It's tremendously easy to use and provides fantastic quality. With it, you can go from source to cut in a couple of minutes for the vast majority of images. 

 

Take a look at this thread for guidelines for cutters and video tutorials for some more info on what we expect for from our cuts. 

 

Here's a couple of videos on how to use remove.bg, one when combined with Photoshop and another using photopea.com, which is a free online app so close to Photoshop that it has the same shortcuts, layout and icons 😉 If you don't have Photoshop, photopea.com is the tool I would recommend to use to tweak the draft cut produced by remove.bg. It's more powerful and versatile than GIMP and other similar tools.

 

 

@zigmmund, if you have multiple images, it's easier to upload them as a pack instead of individually 😉

@zigmmund You've uploaded this image to this person as well, which is the right one?

For first question, logo of Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih is on the logopack for extinct club (ID 1889) and for new club (Main club 2000028043 and 2 team 2000036688) with the new 2020 logo. This 2 new logo added on TCM22 Logopack.

Second question : You can add logo for you and you can also make a request on TCM Website (https://www.tcmlogos.com/requetes-request/) for the next update pack. You can see Ianvou messages and my last message. Others informations here : https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/61018-guide-how-to-create-a-config-file/

Last question : Information from SI : https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/125696-guide-how-to-create-standard-fm2010-logos/
-180x180 px (normal) and 18x25px (small) are Standard size.
For "normal", I put at 200x200px compared to the TCM style (notably adds an outline).
For "small", they are at 20x20px for consistency in the display of rankings for example. Depending on whether the logo is tall or wide, the logos may not line up. So it's a size that was decided from the start and that works very well.

i don't consider myself a pc expert but i had no issue to learn how to use it so i guess you will have no problem either, check this one here:

Since you have all logos in the graphics folder with the correct UID, you just need to have an xml generator app (just google and you will find a couple of them its pretty simple). In cases like the one you ask probably,since the logo exists but not shown in the correct id, it seems that this specific club rebranded with a new name this year and the old one (with the correct logo) is now extinct through the editor. There are a lot of teams that every year rebrand with new name or 2 or more teams join powers to become one. In those cases the researchers of each country make the old clibs extinct (old id and logos are still in the various packs) and logo with the new id must be created. In your case just copy the 4digit logo and paste it with the new id, right after convert it to small and place it in the “small” folder and then only xml generator up is needed to update your folder so the game can “read” the new logo. At any cases that's why all the fan made packs (logos,faces or whatever) need conttibutors, its not easy for a man alone to find and check all sources. May @Kinmar forgive me for answering this but i guess less or more he would give the same answer

Hi Kinmar,

 

Could you please explain how xml files are generated. Wondering how do you adding new club IDs and its logos. I have an example of Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (Ukrainian Persha Liga), and looks like this club got a new unique ID (2000028043) while in your pack we relaying on old ID (1889), as a result we didn't get the proper logo

Another example: Uragan Cherniiv (2000043753), wondering wether I can update xml file myself in order to add missed logo for this club or any other one

And the last question I have: wether width and height should be always 200x200 and 20x20 respectively for normal and icon files

Thanx

@zigmmund please put all the requests in a pack next time, saves a lot of time with downloading them

If you're going to make requests with multiple images, may I suggest doing so in bulk using the upload pack button. Save the images on your PC with the person's UID and upload them all in one go, instead of one-by-one, to save some time 👍

It's much bigger, so therefore it's much better and definitely cuttable 👍

That's what this forum is for 🙂

 

But we can't make miracles, and we'll need images as large as possible 😉

The minimum cut-out size is 180x180. If a source is in 80x80 which includes his torso and upwards, don't you think it's too small to be cut @zigmmund ? I've rejected all those of that size.

 

Have a look at this thread for some hints and tips on how to find the best possible sources for your images.
