Maybe some of you know that I’ve made 3GT kit creation tutorial for Gimp some time ago. Unfortunately it was written in Polish. I’ve found some free time finally and I have translated it in English. :) I’ve made only partial translation … but don’t worry it will be fully in English very soon :).

Tutorial: 3GT Kit Gimp Tutorial - in English

Have a nice reading.

Here is my lastest 3GT Kit pack.

Have a nice watching kits in FM :)

I have decided to release for public my first external beta util for Football Manager with best wishes of Happy New Year 2006 :).

FMaker, its full name is Facepack Maker, is a tool for automatic creation config.xml file. It just tries to parse names of png image files and matches them with names from database files. Then it extracts ID’s and creates config.xml file.

Here is a screen example, click to enlarge …

As you can see in this example “kowalski.png” was matched for 10 players and John Doe wasn’t matched to anyone. The rest of 24 players was matched correctly. This is part of output config.xml file.

<record from=”jakub_gronowski” to=”graphics/pictures/person/720373/portrait”/>
<record from=”jakub_kawa” to=”graphics/pictures/person/720376/portrait”/>
<record from=”kowalski” to=”graphics/pictures/person/710581/portrait”/>
<!– Person Name: Artur Kowalski 1971-11-04  -   ID: 710581 –>

<!– Person Name: Marek Kowalski 1984-04-25  -   ID: 720378 –>
<!– Person Name: Lukasz Kowalski 1981-02-22  -   ID: 714473 –>
<!– Person Name: Grzegorz Kowalski 1963-09-06  -   ID: 714358 –>
<record from=”krzysztof_brede” to=”graphics/pictures/person/711520/portrait”/>
<record from=”krzysztof_leszek” to=”graphics/pictures/person/720379/portrait”/>

If image is matched for more players it has to be renamed more accurate ex. jacek_kowalski.png. More info is in ReadMe files.

FMaker can also create config.xml for club, competition and nation logos and also for club and nation kits.

Download FMaker 0.9.0

FMaker 0.9.0 is first public beta release and it is compatible with original Football Manager 6.0.2 databases. To run FMaker you need to have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed. It can be downloaded from Windows Update or as Redistributable Package.

My future ideas for FMaker:

• Compatibility with customized databases
• Windows GUI version
• Recursive directories
• Sorting directories and manages them for ex. clubs
• Searching for ID’s
• Exporting player list for clubs
• Mac version

Now I’m waiting for any comments and ideas from you.

It is high time to make kit for my own country :) … and here it is …

One more national kit which has been made a while ago :) …
