Logo Mega Pack for the TBL / Manimal Rosters
Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2012 12:51 pm
Whilst working on a logo pack for Franchise Hockey Manager, I have been using the logos to create a new logo pack for Eastside Hockey Manager 2007 from scratch. The pack can be downloaded here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 80&t=10310
Version 1.0 of the pack contains logos of all sizes for 882 teams and 92 competitions (including every playable team in the EHM 2007 database). Also included are large flags and improved medium flags for all 221 nations. Please note that huge logos have only been included for all playable teams (and some non-playable teams) as these logos only appear on the Add New GM screen.
The pack has been designed for the TBL Rosters v5.0 (i.e. with the SPHL teams in the now defuct UHL, NAHL teams in the CHL, and certain AHL teams in the ECHL) but it should work without issue for other databases with the exception of the aforementioned UHL, CHL and ECHL points.
Please feel free to leave any feedback or logo requests in this thread (e.g. if you would like team logos for a particular league to be added). Let me know whether any logos are out of date, etc and I will update them (if you can point me to a version of the correct logo on a website then that would be of huge help). Please note that I will only take requests for logos to be added to my pack. If you are looking to request a particular logo for any other reason, you should use our Logo Request Thread: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =13&t=3264
There are a couple of minor issues I'd like feedback/help with:
1) I've had difficulty finding logos for some of the all-star competitions and national team competitions. If anybody can point me to a source image for those missing competitions, I'd be very grateful.
2) Some large logos don't appear very well in game because their colours blend into the colour of the titlebar. In order to address this, I have added a semi-transparent white border to these logos. I can't say I'm 100% happy with it, but it is better than leaving them without a border (and I don't much like just leaving a square/rectangular white background). I'm interested to know what everybody thinks to the semi-transparent border and whether it would look better if done another way (e.g. with a solid white border, or a white background, etc). The competition logos affected are: ACAC, Austrian Erste Bank Liga, Nachwuchs Liga, ECAC, OHL and Allsvenskan.
3) For a small number of lesser-known teams (particularly one or two Eastern European teams), it has been extremely difficult to find decent source images. Therefore the logos for a couple of teams aren't as great as I would have liked. If anybody has a better source image for any team logo then please do let me know and I will improve them.
A couple of final points:
1) I have included both blue and white large versions of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning logos. As their standard blue logos blend in with their home colour titlebars, I have included the white logos for home games and the blue logos for road games.
2) There appears to be a bug with the Start New Game screen in that a cropped version of the Canadian flag appears next to the OHL/QMJHL/WHL. I have double-checked the Flags folder and it seems this is an issue with the game and not with my flag pack.
