Kccitystar Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 The 1998 Devil Rays were one of 2 teams introduced to the MLB after the 1997 season. The other team being the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now, The Devil Rays uniforms currently worn by players like Rocco Baldelli and Aubrey Huff are current as of 2001. Prior to 2001, they wore these uniforms starting from 1998. It also includes the 1998 inaugural patch worn during the 1998 season. The following uniform was done in 2X, meaning the dimension size was twice as big as the original size, 128x128 pixels. And due to the big file size, I managed to compress it to a mere 800KB or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo_daddy Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Very nicely done, another great mod job. I actually kind of miss these old unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronForge Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Are these full-blown 2x or are they 2xLite? The full blown 2X bog my system down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Are these full-blown 2x or are they 2xLite? The full blown 2X bog my system down. yeah, full blown 2x. I managed to keep the file size down so it doesn't really slow down anything but if its not up to par, feel free to kick my ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kccitystar Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 I have my MLB version 3s coming out soon so look out for that...every team has been done over and i added a special effect to all the logos so they look less "iron-on" and more stitched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Blues Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 i added a special effect to all the logos so they look less "iron-on" and more stitched are you doing that with the emboss effect? i'm working on a monarchs uni pack, and i'm wanting to get that stitched look too. also, i haven't installed the new/old d-rays unis yet(they are stunning)...i just have a question...do these overwrite any of the other unis, or do they take a new slot, a la fuzz's uniform prog?

Umachines Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Nice work. And I think they look much better and modern than current Rays' uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzone Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 hey blues, lemme know if you want to install the uniform in any slot you prefer. p.m me. The uniform is great, and i prefer to install it in my 1998 Devil Ray team slot in AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronForge Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I used fuzz's editor so they didn't replace any unis. I also made mine 2Xlite so it didn't bog my system. Also, kccitystar....you didn't update the llod pic with the updated uniform. When you see players at a distance (running bases or the outfield), it's the new unis not the old. I fixed that on the one I put in my game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzone Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 forgie, can you release your version of the uniform? i've already gotten 3 emails regarding this thing. maybe you can release it as a revised version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 agh...D'oh! :banghead: Fuzz, how the hell did you possibly get 3 emails regarding my patch?...I put my email addy in the readme for any questions! I'll upload a 1.01 real quick...by the way, what is 2x - Lite...how do you define that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzone Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 i dunno what's wrong with people either. they email me asking how they can install your stuff with mvp studio. i tell them that they have to create a portrait.bmp and blah blah, and then they ask me to do it for them so at that point, i usually blow them off since it's your work,not mine.

fuzzone Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 not sure what 2xlite means but sure sounds intriguing when umachines' advertises. MVP STUDO 2XLITE! you see,it works with everything. T2P 2XLITE. maybe umachines or someone who's part of the 500 2XLite club can explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TcWig Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 is version 1.1 out yet? I noticed the same thing. they dont show on the jersey select screen and the players where the current jersey from a distance. I tried switching back to the current unis but now they all have purple numbers. Hook me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Blues Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Yeah, I actually got my brain to work after a 13-hour shift at work and figured out how to add them with Studio (I forgot that KC's exe file actually extracted the fsh files into the MVP folder :oops: ). I just have to tweak a couple things since all three didn't get added, only one...hey, I'm tired, lol. Anyway, as far as the uni selection bmp, all I did was use one of the bmp's in the fsh file (open it up and you'll see what I mean) and resized it from 256x256 to 128x128. Now I just have to figure out a way to do that with the '91 Astros unis that were released awhile back. I haven't touched them in awhile, so does anybody know if that exe file extracts the fsh files into the MVP folder or if it automatically installs them?

fuzzone Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 i hope kc releases one of those cool menu selection portrait bmps, you know, the ones that look similar in the game. i dont like using the jerf/ jers in the fsh files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbully Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 to get 2xLite, you actually resize the uni's to 192 and compress. One other thing I learned from Umachines... when you extract files, save them as .PNG instead of .BMP - sometimes a bitmap will actually shrink the files somewhat. Again, credit for this discovery goes to Umachines and his bp uni work w/the stripes from shoulder to the end of the sleeve. quote from Umachines' readme: ABOUT 2XLite TEXTURES **************************************************************** Some days ago I downloaded Bart-W´s 2X Boston and CHC uniforms. They simply look great, but there is a big problem: Poor game performance. You really need to have a high end system to run the game at a decent speed with 2x uniform textures. Even so, I thought the idea was great, and I think I found a way to use high resolution textures without a big performance decrease. What really happens with 2X textures, is that they are not 2x, but actually 4x. If an original file is 128x128 pixels, the 2X version is 256X256 pixels, and that's 4 times the file area!. And remember we have two teams and several texture files for each of them. To solve this problem I took the most important part of a uniform: Jerseys, of course. And I resized the files so that a 128x128 picture is now 192X192 and a 128x64 picture is now 192x96 (1½ longer and higher) this way we have files that are about 2¼ the original size. In fact, the only bigger files in this version are jerf, jerk, jers, jert, slvr and slvl. Each 0xxxy.fsh file is now 915k uncompressed, that I consider still a good size in bytes.
