The idea only dawned on me after I had made the Penguins pack, had I done anymore I would doubt I would have adopted it. I'm glad it has gone down well, I hope more people do so and enjoy the facepack as much as I do

It's actually one of the best ideas I've heard in a long time. Keep it up

Done the Flyers now! Just need to finish off the Devils, they should be completed by tomorrow. Sorry about my previous error in when the possible release date was, had a lot of homework to do. (darn School)

Looking good. Do Avalanche next -> everyone will use them in Challenge15.

Great idea, when I've finished my Atlantic pack I'll release a special challenge pack

Reynaldo28 · Post by **Reynaldo28** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 9:54 pm

Finished! Waiting for it to be approved

Approved! Nice work!

I had to host it at SkyDrive cause our server doesn't accept files bigger than 5mb (this is 6mb).

Hope I got it right. This was my first upload to SkyDrive... been away for a while... Lemme know if you can't DL the file.

That Atlantic pack has some Flames in it as well though, I think. But it's awesome, thanks for getting it out there.

It takes about an hour a team if I get my head down and work.

You serious about helping? Do you have Photoshop? If so you'll be able to do it as it is really easy

The pack is great, thanks

I just wonder why you create png images. The game seems to prefer ehm to png and png to jpg. I have in my players folder several images of many players and the png files are chosen by the game. Lucky you

If someone (Andy) releases NHL pack with jpg files, your pack will work instead of the one with jpegs.

Reynaldo28 · Post by **Reynaldo28** » Fri Nov 20, 2009 4:16 pm

I told you guys why the file type is PNG is the first post, it is because it keeps the transparency that is needed to achieve the look. I know it is a major quirk, but there is not really much that I can do about it.

Also I apologise for any really low quality images, but it is not easy to get HQ images of players in a white jersey and helmet, so some are from small pictures and zoomed in.

One last point, I'd like to thank everyone who has downloaded the pack so far and hope more people will download the other packs I intend on making, up next will be a special Avalanche pack specially made for the challenge!

If you wanted to be able to choose between which pack you want to use at any given time, just make multiple folders. Whichever one you want to be active should be named "players" and then the inactive ones should be renamed to something like "players-old". I've got a folder full of pictures that work with the original database, then another that works with the Lidas update from last season. And now I've started a new one for the new pictures. You could easily make one folder for Andyjayp pics and another for Reynaldo pics.

I'm going to go for a big push and try and get the Avalanche done within the next couple of hours, I hope I can do it!

Have you tried LIFE.com? It's got TONS of player pics - just search by player name and you should be able to find most if not all of the photos you need.

That is exactly what I am using, but still the issue is caused. But I am very happy with the way everything is going
