BassyBoyYT - Comments

I don't understand, is it better to keep version 1.2?

Firstly thanks for a really great add-on BassyBoy. I have installed and subscribed to v2, but do I uninstall v2 before installing the latest v3 build or do I just install it over v2. 

@BassyBoyYT Serie A stadiums' possible improvements:

1. At Bologna Stadium, only 2 out of 4 floodlights are illuminated + there are also additional lights on the main stand roof:
 

2. At San Siro/Giuseppe Meazza Stadium during the evening games, the roof shadow appears, probably due to the moon in the sky. Also, flood lights on this stadium are positioned on the edges of the roof, so maybe fixing the lighting for the next update will make it look much better:
 

3. Napoli Maradona Stadium, and Olimpico in Roma seem to have only the moon illumination during evening games. Please note that the lights on this stadiums are on the edges or under the roof (picture for Napoli stadium as attachment):
 

4. Juventus stadium stands and goals still look dark during evening games, so I would like to point out that there are lights not just on the edges of the roof, but also under the roof on the main stands and also under the roof on the corners of the stadium. I believe illuminating these lights will make the stadium look much better:
 

 

Hope this feedback will help you improve your project! Cheers!

Downloaded it, but somehow still the same results - stadium textures are still invisible for me at SoL.
Now curious to know if it's just up to me or others experience the same..

P.S. Don't wanna be a pain in the a$$, just trying to point out and contribute to the greatness of this stadium pack! 😀

Yeah, just did that! Stamford Bridge works fine, but Stadium of Light looks like this for me in-game:

 

Any idea why? Is it due to the file or something else? 😀

Also, can this banner from Santiago Bernabeu be removed?

 

I believe it would be more natural to have the crowd visible instead of this banner..

is this easy to download onto the ally xbox rog handheld device?? does anyone have a easy step by step ‘idiot’ guide to download this at all please?

@BassyBoyYT Huge improvement, however, still some things to report:

1. Chelsea's Stamford Bridge doesn't show in-game, it loads a generic FM26 ground. (thebridgev2.bundle is missing from the 1.3.0 pack)
2. Sunderland's Stadium of Light doesn't show in-game, it loads a generic FM26 ground. (stadiumoflight.bundle is missing from the 1.3.0 pack)
3. Spotted it on Premier League stadiums but believe it's the case on all night games - players still look a bit darker, also the ad-boards around the pitch. Perhaps you should consider adding some lighting to them as well; otherwise, it would be a really significant lighting improvement!

I'll take a look at other stadiums and provide you with more feedback.
But once again, really, really quality improvements and work! Congrats!

Hello @BassyBoyYT ,

First of all: whaouh, what a great patch you made here!

My question is the following: what about the Millerntor Stadion in Bundesliga (FC St. Pauli)?

Is there no solution to have a stadium in which the squads enter by the corner with some home fans flags, and so on?

Many thanks for your great patch again.

Best regards!

yes

Hi, I play through Windows Gamepass. I tried following the guide, but the AS Roma Stadio Olimpico doesn't show up. Is that normal?

Hi, thanks for that mod. I'm having a problem with it. I installed it a week ago and it worked fine, but now every time I try to launch FM26 the game crashes. I'm not getting an error message either.

What can I do to fix it?

Thanks for your time and help!

A huge thank you to Bassey for his work on this. Incredible effort. 

 

I have tried over the weekend to convert to this to Mac. As Bassey has relayed on X, this has been impossible to date, owing to the different files systems used by Mac. In summary, the pack relies on DirectX shaders (.fx files), which are Windows-only. Football Manager on Mac uses Metal/OpenGL, so those shaders simply aren’t supported and the stadiums won’t render correctly (or at all). In addition to the DirectX shader problem, the stadium pack also relies on a runtime injection system (via BepInEx / DLL-style hooks). Again, this is not Mac compatible.

 

To be clear, theres nothing wrong with the pack itself, it’s a Mac limitation. To make it work on Mac, the shaders would need to be removed and the lighting/effects baked directly into the textures, which is a separate conversion job. In addition another injection system would need to be developed. 

 

in summary, If you’re on Windows: you’re all good. If you’re on Mac: unfortunately this one’s a no-go for now.

 

Hope that saves a few people some head-scratching and the repeated questions. 

hello. it is possible to have only the updates? it's quite annoying to downolad the hole 10gb pack for every update. Thanks

please i need help with my application, it would not load. shows application error

Billiant work, congrats.

Just one comm, games played in the majestic Estádio da Luz (Sport Lisboa e Benfica), are a little bit “at the dark” (lacks brightness). Hopefully you can fix this soon.

absolutely incredible work guys!!

 

couple of issues. 

 

played roughly 15 matches so far and all is fine except for the lighting at both Wolves and Brentfords home grounds. bit gutted as i am a Wolves fan. the detail is unbelievable. hopefully you can fix this soon.

 

thanks again

Yeah I do have that folder, just looks like the same as the files in the “content” folder in the original install location

Thanks for the quick reply. I dont have any popups at all, game works as it normally does. The folder its in is c://xboxgames/football manager26/bepinex

 

What might the other location where the files need placed?

@BassyBoyYT Im having some issues getting this working (using Gamepass version). I had the game installed. Installed the pack using the tool. Everything installed (had 3 files unvalidated). Loaded a save game, didnt work. Started a new game, didnt work (tried a few teams Chelsea/Rangers, also checked some highlight and didnt work.

 

Uninstalled the game and reinstalled it (just incase any of the other little mods that were put on was causing an issue). Re installed the pack using the tool. Done the same with trying multiple saves/new games and still nothing. 

 

Also tried just copying and pasting the files from the zip and the same, no stadiums. 

 

In the tool the “Plugin Status” is green for both. 

 

Any ideas whats going on? I've looked on X and havent seen anyone have this issue.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi, @BassyBoyYT  !

Firts, I want to thank you very much for the great great job you are doing. 

Here is my feedback on the Bollaert-Delelis stadium, home to Racing Club de Lens (which I support in real life,  I have a season ticket for the stadium.).
 

1. The TV cameras are located on the wrong side of the stadium.

2. Away fans are only in the left-hand section (about a quarter) of the stand to the left of the cameras.

3. The team has played to a full house for nearly 70 games (including cup games against smaller teams and even friendly games). All 38,000 seats are occupied. In the game, you can see many empty seats, which never happens.

4. Similar comments to those made by other players: the pitch is black and the lighting is very poor (but this has already been reported and I know you are working on it).
 

Hi, mod looks amazing, noticed you said it's experimental in Linux, thought I'd try adding the files into the equivalent location on my steam deck as you said in the guide but it's as if nothing has changed. Is there any way to make it work on Linux? I'm not all that used to Linux yet myself so there's a chance I'm missing something if anyone's managed to get it working advice would be appreciated, thanks!

 

Files are in the folder deck/.steam/steam/Steam/Steam/steam apps/common/footballmanager26

(I hate Linux mapping so much)

Hi Mate,

 

I've been using it since you released it, great work really! this is an impressive improvement for the game we all love to play, congratulations mate.

 

The only one thing I thought it could still improve it's the colour of the stadiums? for example Stamford bridge has white seats, when their blue. - I'm not very clued in these things not sure if can be changed, but having the original seat colours I believe it would be amazing. 

 

Other than that, absolutely love it, amazing work.

@BassyBoyYT  The corner kicks and goals are a bit off on camp nou. And i dont know if it is a bug but 70% of the match the fans look like 2D and when I score goals etc. they render and look like 3D

Just noticed the same appears on Ibrox Stadium, so I'm not sure if it's a random glitch or a conversion issue? @BassyBoyYT 

 

Hi mate, has anyone reported anything about the stadium brightness when watching in 3d. I've noticed it a few times where it looks like someone's switched off the flood lights. Just wondering if it maybe a bug. I know when I load up FM and your part loads there seems to be a few bits that fail not sure if that's normal or not. Any advice would be awesome TIA

Fix the bugs? the annoying Dos file still accompanies my game when it is running..

Hello, i have a bug i think, i play with Le Havre and my stadium is like without light lol
