Idea for the maximum mod

[Mykal]

Hoop/Rhino

I'm holding off making anymore uniforms at present
not just AFL, all uniforms
so if either of you want to finish the AFL project
go right ahead.

My patients with MaxFootball has just about evapourated
so I'll be switching back to Madden for now,
until the situation with MF changes and game play is more stable

Dont worry though, I aint bailing out completely
I'll still be around but just not half way as much
spent way to much time modding this game to totally bail

Has anyone heard from Hoop? He was about to start compiling when he was last online. He has not been online for 9 days and I have emailed him twice, but no replies. I was going to compile without him, but he has some of the files I need.

Hoop was online at EA Mods for the first time in a while so I guess that means he is alright and will be able to help finish the mod.

Hoop is fine, but his computer is toast so thats why he hasn't been online. We have about 15 uniforms left to make so give us about two weeks before we release the mod. Sorry for the wait, but the mod will be released soon.

Gentlemen,

My most profound apologies on not having the CFL Rosters done yet. My first-born just turned one, and I've had a hell of a time trying to find sometime to do anything. The good news is that I have been able to rework my schedule, and should have a fair amount of free time to actually sit down and hammer out these rosters this weekend. If I don't have them posted by 11:59pm on Monday night, I just might shoot myself.

However, for right now, I'm going back to watching my beloved Tiger-Cats kicking Argonaut @$$. It's 14-6 at the half, and boy do they look good tonight.

[Mykal]

Go Ti-Cats

I saw something somewhere in this thread that said someone completed the player faces for the CFL.

Can I ask where they might be stored? I tried FBMax, but the file is 404'ing.

[Mykal]

I have them, well the important ones that are used during game play

you can download them from my site HERE
right at the foot of the page

[Brockleigh]

Thanks, man. Much appreciated.

[Brockleigh]

Okay, so I have the CFL players entered by position and number. I'm just taking some extra time to make sure the players skin colour matches Mykal's player photos (for those players whom I am not particularily familiar), and then going to use jdhalfrack's player editor to fine tune the player's vital statistics, nationality and abilities.

Throwing a monkey wrench into things is that I'm moving at the end of this week, so I may be a little pre-occupied on things other than MaxFB.

We'll have these up and running in short order, though.

[Mykal]

Not that it matter's

but the player photo's were provided by VCFL Commish
I just have them on my site, with permission of course

Dont like taking credit for someone elses work/efforts.

[Brockleigh]

Hey folks...

Back in action. We just moved into a nice little back-split, the PC is all connected and we're ready to rock and roll.

Status Update:

The rosters have been entered with the Depth Charts I was able to get before the season started. Winnipeg and Saskatchewan don't provide depth charts on their website or to the CFL's website, so I have to synch up their rosters with who they currently have, and then fine tune skin tones and players vital statistics.

I should have that done by weeks's end.

[Mykal]

kewl, cant wait for this roster

[Brockleigh]

Okay, I have good news and bad news...

The good news is that I will be posting the CFL Rosters to FBMax tonight, sometime around 8:30pm EDT.

The bad news is that they aren't as complete as I would have liked. All the players are in, but their heights, weights and skin tones aren't all matched up the way they should be. I got the official "I hate Maximum Football" from the wife last night, and the subsequent short conversation yielded from her the clenched teeth, red-in-the-face, eye-bugging-out, all-one-word, " ITSJUSTA&*@#INGGAME!!! " So I have to cut my efforts short, or I'll be looking for a new place to sleep.

One other problem with the database that I'll be posting is that I can't get the current season to end. I had started a season as the rosters from a proper draft are much better than when the game creates a roster for a blank team in Quick Play. When I created the CFL leage, it was with the Ottawa Renegades included. I Ended the season and deleted the Renegades to make it more life-like for the users, and then do a soft reset to bring the league back to 0 Seasons played, but it's not working like that. It's staying like we're at the start of season 1, and I can't alter the Setup of the League to move the Blue Bombers back to the East.

So it ain't perfect, but if someone wants to fix that database problem, feel free.

Cheers, and enjoy.

[Mykal]

I can take a look at the DB problem for ya' Brockleigh, shouldnt be too hard to fix (said tongue in cheek with hope)
once (if) I fix it, do you mind if I add it to my CFL Downloads page ?

The rest of your problems are all yours brother man...............
dont pee her off too much man, you cant sleep at mine.............its a long walk away from yours to mine

[Brockleigh]

Mykal,

Knock yourself out, man. It's all yours to post. I have a 12 man playbook that you could post up there as well, if you want.

Yeah, she's a good woman. I ought not to press my luck. Even if she doesn't understand it isn't just a game.

You sure I couldn't crash on your couch, though? You got Premier League soccer there now. It could be a fun little time-out.

[Mykal]

Yer Sure I'll take the playbook aswell, no problem

and NO you cant take my couch.............I HATE SOCCER............[:@]
you aint watchin' it in my house...............hahahahahahahaha

Funny aint it........... a brit who hates soccer but loves football, I'm an outcast over here
when I'm wearing one of my Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys or jackets, people over here shout "LAKERS" at me to try upsetting me, IDIOTS
they obviously dont watch any football, Lakers is baseball.

[therhino]

ORIGINAL: Mykal
Lakers is baseball.

I hope you were you joking Mykal, because Lakers is basketball [:D] I agree with you about soccer, but I live in the US now so there is not a law requiring me to like it

[Mykal]

Hahahahahahahahaha.................oh well basketball then
only goes to show I have no interest in any sport but football

Thanks Rhino for picking up my Homer Simpson-ness DOH !!!!

Yep same here, it wont reset to season 0 but thats no real problem its set at the start of season 1 ready to play
on a plus note

and I can't alter the Setup of the League to move the Blue Bombers back to the East.

sorted that for ya' Brockleigh, did it in access, simply changed the league ID tag of WPG from 2 to 3, loaded up the game and hey presto
