Thank you finally a Newbery bat
, it is very nice and much appreciated by us Sussex supporters. Downloaded and on my new career player, top work
Thanks. Glad to be of service. It was your recent post that inspired me to take on the challenge of providing the first one.
thanks for this - i made the mjolnir in 14 but i haven't been able to get on with 17 modding at all
Thanks. I wanted to do something relatively complicated so that I could learn the ropes with the logo editor. Believe me, the logo crest was a major pain in the backside. It's definitely more simplified than I would have liked, however scaled down onto the bat, it still works.
The thing I had to get my head around was the fact that sometimes you just have no choice but to split a decal into two or more parts in order to preserve some detail. Sometimes if you're lucky you can import a couple of .svg files into the editor but its rare.
Basically my workflow is this. Since the overlay doesn't seem to work properly in the logo editor, I trace a vector over a jpeg image using Inkscape. This is usually superior to letting Inkscape handle the bitmap tracing. Once finished, I simplify the vector a few times, reducing the number of nodes. If it is still too big for the logo editor (in my experience around 20 KB max is fine) then I run it once through this awesome web tool -
SVG-Optimiser
That's all there is to it. The rest is down to wrestling with the Academy controls. The main problem is the lack of fine tuning when positioning the logos on the bat. The deadzone of the controller and keyboard for that matter is too much.
