How do I get these into the game/which folders do I place them in?

In the team folder. For midfield, file L3A and L3B(weather effect). Endzone is L4A and L5A (B weather effect).

The ones that I have uploaded are in a team folder so for example.

Folder Michigan
file L3a
file L4a
File L5a

Just open the folder and copy all three files to the Michigan folder in the game. For example.

Matrix
Big ten league folder
Michigan folder containing away and home folder
just copy the three files to the Michican folder, not into either the away or home.

Hope this helps.

Most of nmleague's college and all of the NFL1959 files have the field art incorporated in them now and are ready for download on FBMAX.com

nmleague you had given me some suggestions the other day on uploading your 1959 league either i still did them wrong or what not sure. I wrote another post about the new problems . You had said if i had questions about how to copy multiple folders and files at one time , just ask . Any advice you can give be appreciated . Also how do you design the uniforms and fields is there a template you just ad the art to . Thanks for any help . Can`t wait to do more with the game .

Yes there are templates for the uniforms, go to FBmax.com, you will find a tutorial on doing uniforms and the templates, I think. For field art I went into one of the team folders of the teams that came with the league. Besides the home and away folders they have several files, L3a is the midfield art file, L4a is one endzone, and L5a is the other endzone. I used these as the base for my field art. I havent done any of the snow covered field art, those files are L3b, L4b and L5b.

Ok now back to getting the uniforms into the game. Let me try to make it a little more clearer this time. Follow this example.

1. create a league. Call it, NFL 1959. it needs two divisons of six teams. Create 6 teams in the East divsion, New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Washington Redskins, Philadephia Eagles, Pittsburg Steelers and Chicago Cardinals. Then create 6 teams in the West divsion, Baltimore Colts, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and San Fransisco 49ers. Once this is done you can close the game and open your hard drive, your structure maybe different, but this should be the basic structure.

C: drive
Matrix games
Maximum football
NFL 1959 (folder) not league file
Team folders (there should be 12 teams folders here, one for each team you created.
Each team folder should have two folder in them "away" and "home", and would also have the field art files mentioned above, once you add them.

I hope you are with me so far. By the way if you look into the home and away files for each team you created you will see the uniform piece files that the game creates, the red and white.

Now if you download the Large NFL 1959 zip file from FBmax and then unzip it somewhere. You should have an NFL 1959 folder, inside that folder you should have 12 folders one for each team, labeled Colts, Packers etc., if you open one of those folder you should see a home and away file, plus 3 filed art files, L3a, L4a, and L5a.

Ok there are two ways to do this. 1. if the team names of these folders match with the team names of the NFL 1959 folder in you Maximum Football directory, you can then copy those 12 folders to the NFL 1959 folder in the Maximum football directory. If not that then just one folder, example colts, copy the two folders, away and home plus the 3 field art files, to the colts folder, in the NFL 1959 folder in the Maximum football directory.

Confused I hope not. I would open one window and explore through you hard drive, to the Matrix directory, to the Maximum football directory, to the NFL 1959 directory. I would then open up another window and navigate to were you unzipped the NFL 1959 file that you downloaded from FBmax. With both those windows open just copy the team file from the downloaded folder to the NFL 1959 folder in the Maximum football folder. By doing this you replace the home and away files that the game created and also add the 3 field art files.

I hope this helps, I dont think I can explain it any better, maybe some else can. Im going to be out of town for the next 13 days so wont be able to help for awhile.
