Club Kits

[Brambella]

Hello,

I want to know if there is any way that allows changing the kit of the clubs.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Brambella, I haven't found a decent working editor for Sensational Soccer - the NSS3 editor doesn't seem to work for me with this game. So I have spent some time looking at the database files in C:\Program Files\Sensational Soccer\Data\Match\Sensational and also using the editor set-up for a bit guidance I have figured out the following.

If you open up one of the country files in a Hex editor you will see it starts with the Country Name and then 8 stats. The first stat looks to be the general strength of the country (out of 100), the fourth is the continent, the fifth is the Country Number (in relation to it's position in the C:\Program Files\Sensational Soccer\Data\Nations.dat file) and the last of those 8 gives the number of leagues for the country.

Then there is the name of the first league, followed by the number of teams in that League. Then we get to the team data. So for instance, in my file (which I have edited) Arsenal is set as follows - this is Decimal data, not Hex:

Arsenal Arsenal 8 0 2 0 1 0 1 2 14 5 14 5 22

This represents the Full Team name, followed by the short name - although Arsenal is so short there's is no need to abbreviate. Then from what I can see the numbers represent...

Club Rating (1-9)
??? - Seem to be set to 0 most of the time
Home Kit Type
Home Shirt Col1
Home Shirt Col2
Home Shorts Col
Home Sock Col
Away Kit Type
Away Shirt Col1
Away Shirt Col2
Away Shorts Col
Away Sock Col
No of Players - always set to 22

The kit types are as follows:

0 Plain
1 Striped
2 Sleeves
3 Hoops
4 Halves
5 Quarts
6 Diagonal Stripe Left Shoulder to Right Hip
7 Diagonal Stripe Right Shoulder to Left Hip
8 1 Stripe Left Side
9 1 Sleeve Left Side
10 1 Stripe Right
11 1 Sleeve Right
12 Central stripe (like Ajax)
13 1 Central Hoop
14 Checks
15 V Neck

The Colours seem to be something like this:

0 White
1 Red
2 Blue
3 Sky Blue
4 Purple
5 Yellow
6 Pink
7 Light Green
8 Orange
9 Black
10 Burnt Orange
11 Light Brown
12 Dark Brown
13 Grey
14 Dark Blue
15 Indigo
16 Dark Green
17 Maroon
18 Dark Yellow

So using this data it's quite easy to play about with the colours in the Hex Editor. It's also possible to edit the file while the game is running, so if you make a change, save it, and then reselect the teams you'll see the changes you have made. However, if you are going to play about with the files just make sure you backup the file beforehand, it's easy to make and incorrect change and stop the game working. Good luck.
