I can give you a hand with graphics if you'd like, Jake. My IFL rom hack has gone into limbo since doing rosters, graphics and more by myself I felt was biting off more than I could chew after a while. I wouldn't say it's cancelled conpletely, but I may just wait until next season to work on it again. I bet the NFL would be a lot more manageable to do though with all the existing assets there are in the game that I could tweak to match the current NFL rather than doing everything from scratch like the IFL, and I already have the Texans done that I did for blitzmaster a few months ago so we could start with that. What are some goals you had in mind for this seasons rom hack?

I appreciate the tips there Jake, I'll try the ones there in the meantime until your video comes out. I'll definitely check that out once its finished. I bet it'll be a great resource too for other newer players to Blitz that join the forum in the future. I think once I get better at the game I might do some more Blitz videos on my channel, like season playthroughs and game highlight reels.

@Jake Not yet, but that's on my list of uniforms to do Been working on getting the rosters updated first for the whole league but progress is coming along nicely on that. I'm going to include some retired teams too so rosters for those will take some time, but I think I'll switch over to getting the current teams fully done with logos and jerseys and all before I focus on those. I'll definitely give the new version of your editor a try tomorrow though, being able to control X and Y coordinates means I'll be able to try my hand at making custom logos too which I'm excited about

Awesome stuff Jake! Hopefully with this many levels of customization now more folks might jump on board to make their own ROM hacks for the community. Also nice choice for testing there, I was thinking of adding some college teams to Blitz sometime as well.

I'm working on those Texans uniforms for blitzmaster right now, but if there's any other teams you'd like me to try to make I can add that to my list. Doesn't have to be NFL either, could be from another league too.

Thanks Jayke! I know about the tool, for the ROM hack I'm working on though I'm converting Blitz into an Indoor Football League game (since one doesn't exist yet). It's a smaller league, similar to the Arena Football League. They only have 10 teams in it, so I figured it'd be better to use the existing team slots rather than take up more team slots and preserve the NFL teams since it still gives me room to add All Star teams and bonus teams like retired AFL teams to fill the gaps rather than tack all the teams on at the end of the team list past all the NFL teams.

Also, that's great! I'm really excited with how fast your editor has progressed these past few days, being able to edit logos and endzones now is great to hear.

For those helmet stripe textures, I tried to send them as attachments but I got an error of some sort on the forum and it wiped my whole post when it sent me back to the Send Reply page. (I'm typing it again in Notepad this time to avoid that again lol)

I'll try uploading the stripe textures to PostImage tomorrow when I wake up instead. (or I suppose later today technically, stayed up way too late again hacking Blitz, haha)

About the updated uniforms, I can give them a try, sure I'll just need some reference to go off of of course. If we do decide to do a full 2018 hack we need to set up a poll or something for a cover athlete, I could make our ROM a fake N64 box :p

Also Blitzmaster, I can do an Oilers uniform if you want. I've been using a program called ninjaripper to rip models and textures from the PC version of the original Blitz. The Oilers were in there from when they were in Tennessee, so I can get Midway's endzone, helmet, logo, and uniforms from that. I'd have to downscale them to fit 2000 on N64, but they should still look decent. That's what Midway's N64 team had to do back then too, lol.

I found an Oiler-blue style fan uniform design for the Texans on Google Images I could try to make for you as well if you want. I've also got a vintage uniform in mind related to them I might try and make too just for fun.

After testing out the new version of the Graphics Editor I was able to make mostly complete Home and Away uniforms I did have to reduce colors for some textures, but other than that it was pretty straight forward. The only area I had trouble in was editing the helmet stripes.

If I didn't reduce the colors and added them to the texture database in the editor, highlighting them would crash the editor (my thinking is maybe the editor wasn't converting the png to the right C type due to too many colors or maybe it was just too many colors for the editor to display properly in the preview window). If I did reduce the colors, they showed up in the editor just fine as a CI4 texture, but other teams' helmet stripes are C16 according to the editor which could be part of the problem. When I went to the team select screen with the CI4 helmet stripes, the last team rendered on screen in the team select screen before switching to the Rattlers would have their stripe displayed instead of the textures I added. In the screenshot it shows the New York Giants' stripe on the helmet because they're right under the Rattlers. It could be that the game is trying to load the texture I added but can't due to it's C type, so it's just sticking with the last successfully loaded texture in its memory.

Whatever the case, that's the only problem I've had along the way, other than that everything else turned out nicely. If you need any more details from me or have suggestions on how to fix the stripes just let me know.

Awesome
