Pitch Ad's and stumps imported

[barmyarmy]

I did an ASCII search for pitchad in the .gob and then entered the offset into the Gob Viewer (by Tom Hicks). I've found various things in the .gob but a lot of them aren't worth replacing.
Most of it is just boring repitition and takes a long time. There are probably 50 or 60 strings with pitchad in in the .gob. I had to find the 14 which had resolution 512*256 (they are also 14 with 128*64 - these might be stadium ads as they aren't different resolutions for the basic pitch ad).
It's probably easiest to talk about this on MSN and I have various things that may help you although I'm not sure why you're trying to make a Gob Replacer when Prakash has just released one :confused:

Prakash and Colin - absolutely brilliant work - has freshened the game up for me once more.

Getting far more enjoyment out of c2k4 now than I ever did with c2k2 - well done everyone

Just changed the EA pitch ad that came up the Graphics Editor with another one, but they are not showing up in the game at all....
I put the original gob file in and checked it and found that there are no pitch ad's in that at all!!!
The stumps are coming up fine, but no pitch ads......Does any one have any idea why this would be the case??
Thanks in advance..

I think I might have not explained things properly, the pitch ads are showing up fine in the Importer, but I can't view them in the game

what pictad u replaced and can u attach the file u imported

 

[jwalits]

I replaced the EA sports logo with the Pepsi ad....
I have put different pitch ad for different options, eg. The Pepsi for Normal (Ind/Misc/Pak/SL) and Frizzel Ad for Damp (Eng/NZ)

 

[Prakash]

i mean can u attach the zipped bmp file which u tried to import

Edit : I guess u sorted it out

 

[jwalits]

I figured out what was wrong, the Game settings had been reset somehow and the pitch detail was off, so just changed that and I can view the pitch ad now. Thanks for ur help though!!!

Excellent work guys. All these little touches make such a huge difference to the game.

One question though, Colin on your early screenshots you've replaced the advertising hordings aorund the ground. How have you done that?

Thanks again guys.

 

[squiz]

wot are advertising hordings?

 

[tigerdes]

the boards running round the boundary. On Colin's first screenshot he's got the Frizzel logo on the pitch and npower & natwest advertsing boards on the boundary

 

[barmyarmy]

That's just the ground I believe, we haven't replaced advertising hoardings yet although we're not far off.
Incidentally we have now solved the transparancy issue for pitch ads so watch this space...
