Glad to hear you're enjoying the files! :-D They really do make a great game even better and the facecards really are one of those "How did I ever live without these?" projects. Excepting skins which of course change everything about the look of the game's elements... as far as in-game impact the only thing that compares to the cards are the News Jerseys projects. It's great to have every team's jersey show up along with their team-related news.

I'm on another big "projects" run of late so yeah I have been doing the :swamped: thing lately. I have a lot of stuff I'm working on so keep an eye out! 8-) Thanks again for the encouragement and the excitement; that's the real reason I do the projects I do... so people will dig 'em and enjoy their game more. 8-)

Yeps, I really dont know how I could live without seeing all the players...but now I can :joy:

Cant wait to see your new projects!!! =D>


...if u permit, I would like to take the oportunity to ask a little question: all the downloads went smoothly and I had no problems with the installation (thanks to the guide above!!! Thanks also for that :thup: ), but with the R_players and S_players file I have a little problem: when I unzip the files they convert in PNG files and I cant see the new photo (I think because the game chooses the default file, right??). Can I do something to see the new picture??? Or Iam doing something wrong maybe??

Thanks again and sorry for this stupid questions....Iam a computer-dummy :help:

Actually that's an old problem I should correct one of these days... quick answer they will still work just fine in the game. But the .ehg files in your folder if you have duplicates will show instead. We only recently realized that was an issue and I haven't renamed the sets yet. So you just need to trash the .ehg versions of the players starting with those letters and you'll be fine. You don't need to then rename them all to get them to show.

Edit: This should be easiest to do by sorting your file view by date. That makes it very easy to see if the .ehg versions you have currently in that letter range are original or recently created/downloaded additions ;)



The explanation why though is far more invovled that it seems it should be but if I explain it then there's a better chance other people might see the response and have possibly a related question answered too. 8-)

The game will acknowledge files with .ehg, .png and .jpg for player pictures. The .ehgs actually are .png files, it is just SI's special code for their images.

In order to view a .ehg file in say Photoshop you have to rename it so it ends with .png instead of .ehg first. The initial project was based upon the NHL pics that came within the game itself so we had to rename them to resize them and put them in the 'card' format. JeffR (he's a moderator at SI's board) and I worked on those during testing and I did like O through T.

When we re-collecting the set we had a gap that happened to be in my name range so I filled it from my 'working set' backups to make it available asap. I had them all saved by letter in backups and those files were still .pngs. So that's why they are the only ones among the set that are .pngs not .ehgs.

At the time we didn't know that files with .ehg would display instead if you have a card for the same player and one is a .png and one is a .ehg. So at the time it was a non-issue and now it's kind of a :doh:
