Needlenose Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 My favourite is the Red and White one bottom left, looks smashing in the game. Its called the Red & White V3 in the file folder. :applause:Thanks to Daz for letting me upload this and for his great work as always Download file here https://files.secureserver.net/0sE9hBOCd5ZC1R Please close your FM game first (saving it of course first) Choose the ball colour you wish to use then place the files from that folder in the following path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2014\data\sigfx\props\ball (If you wish to revert to the old ball, then backup your files first) Original posting is here http://fmreport.simplygaming.org/t1959-fmreporter-3d-match-balls-v2-by-dazs8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMReporter Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 so I click on "save as" and type the path as above? Well, save the downloaded folder to your desktop is the easiest, then open it and see which colour ball you would like to use, then follow the instructions to install Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBossa Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hay mate trying your skin now - quick question, any chance you might explain how to make a ball skin? (I would like to learn how to make skins) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needlenose Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 You can open the files for the ball in Photoshop or Gimp and play around with them. You may need an extra plug in for them as they use .dds files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBossa Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Thank you Needlenose, I have been playing around with your designs, have made a bright yellow creation which is much easier to see. Is there a way to make the ball bigger? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirazS Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I tried this initially and it worked fine but when I changed it to another ball type, FM crashed and it has been crashing ever since with any ball except the default one. Anyone have any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Rowell Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 These are great designs not so great for me though, I'm still struggling to see the ball sometimes. A bright, just ever so slightly bigger ball would be really great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBossa Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I cant make the ball bigger, but try this... Make a copy of all the files in "ball" keep safe somewhere. edit "white_ball_texture" using paint or Paint.net (which im using), pick White or Yellow (which looks great) and fill the whole box - the ball will be bright... you will need to load the new "skin" via properties, and i have found starting from the load screen or reload the game completely too.

DaBossa Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Question - your patterns fill the whole box, but the "base" design in "white_ball" has a 3d ball pattern. Ive found that if i use the whole box to make a design it doesn't translate to the match ball, so do we need to use the 3d pattern as a base? Tried for a laugh using the "FIFA world ball" pattern - worked to but had too much red for me. (lol) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMReporter Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I tried this initially and it worked fine but when I changed it to another ball type, FM crashed and it has been crashing ever since with any ball except the default one. Anyone have any suggestions? Make sure you load the new ball while FM is shut down. Also make sure you overwrite all of the ball files when putting a new one in there. Then clear your cache. Have not seen any issues of crashing when changing the ball via the instructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirazS Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Apparently the issue was that I created a new "Balls" folder but the original one was "balls". Changed the folder name using a lower-case b and it is good now. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartdude Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 You can modify all of the balls from FM13 and place them in FM14. Use paint.NET to open the FM13 ball .dds file and change the size to 1024x1024 then save. I also suggest you use the "sharpen" facility in Paint.NET to give you a clearer ball in 3d matches. Then rename it "white_ball_texture" and save the original FM14 ball before you overwrite with the modded ball. I have succesfully tried a number of balls from FM13 and am currently using the Nike Premier League ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

8SZAD Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Bartdude Making the size of the file bigger makes no difference at all to the ball..... I made balls for FM13 too and these I made for FM14 are completely different.....tried using the ones from FM13 but the pattern does not stay true....it gets messed up. I used the close camera angle to check all the patterns..if you have got them to work then give me a pic so I can have a look please. DazS8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartdude Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hi DazS8,I made an assumption regarding the file size as I wanted to repeat the dimensions used in FM14 and yes you're right that the pattern appears to be untrue but I struggled at first to even notice,even though I play all my 3D games in close up mode. The fact that the ball is almost always in rotation I'm happy to live with graphical imperfections as I want a ball that approximately replicates actual balls used in world football. Incidentally I've always been a fan of your awesome skins and currently using Scorpio v2.0 as I prefer the scoreboard to v2.3. Thanks anyway for your feedback and keep up the great work mate,you're the one person who is truly enhancing the FM viewing experience with your various add-ons.

FMReporter Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 +1I use the brighter one, but I tried with these and sometimes is hard to see the ball in he game. Use the new pitch textures with them as well. For me, the red and white one shows up in the game so much better than the white one, I think it has something do with the swirl on the ball that looks great in motion.

8SZAD Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The brighter ball mod is actually NO BIGGER or BRIGHTER....it looks it only because it is plain white. When detail is added thats when the ball becomes harder to see. As for the World Cup Ball.....that would be the same....too much detail on it.....everyone would be moaning about it. Also do people not use the CLOSE camera angle in the game? No plans to make anymore although I am using a new one at the moment LOL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdsoul Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I'm using the white and red on the close angle at the min, looks ace, tempted to try and give the yellow version of the world cup ball a go, can you just replace one ball in game? ie could i make the yellow one replace the winter ball only?
