Axis 2017 Unlimited Stadiums Possibilities

[weslacocubs]

Forgive me if I sound excited over something you may already have known. In Axis 2017 I did the following:

1. Make a folder and call it "Stadium 8".
2. Change the .txt files in there for Capacity and Stadium Name.
3. Now since I don't know what .meta files do, I decided to copy an existing .meta file and rename it "Stadium 8". Will it work without .meta file? I haven't tried.

Why am I excited? Read on.
Now I haven't tested this but I believe it will work. If it does, we can have the following:

-Stadiums with custom logos see this site for ideas. boards.sportslogos.net/topic/110149-2016-nfl-fields/
-Super Bowl stadiums with end zone team logo on one end for one team and another for the other team. (This would require the two teams playing to have a transparent .png for endzone in their team folder...anxious to test it out). This is the part that is very exciting as we can recreated all 50+ Super Bowl turfs.
-College and high school stadiums (Lot's of HS stadiums are shared with various schools and this will allow to have correct logos on the right locations.)
-Old time stadiums
-Blue turf (ugh!) stadiums

Basically, we all knew we could mod the turf of the stadiums. Yes, it is basically the same 7 stadiums but it's unlimited field turfs. The game doesn't really focus too much on the "stadium" anyway so 90% of the time we are looking at the "turf'. The fact that we can have truly custom turfs...unlimited...if we can just put transparent .png files in the team folders.

Yep. Using blank .png files in the team folders allow you to use your custom turf. Looks great.

Hi weslacocubs,

Which blank.png file? in the team folders? i can't seem to find it.

Where are the custom stadium files? Notice in 16 there was a folder entitle 'Stadium Mods'. It included all the graphics (including gridiron field graphic) that could be edited so that making a new stadium was quite simple. Don't see that folder in the Axis 17 mod folder. Am I missing something?

[local8h]

Well not making new stadium but just the Fields, Jumbo tron and other graphics stuff. Yeah the developer had that option when the game is in Beta, now that its released, he took out that options. I was very disappointed when that option was taken out. I made special graphics for Bowls Championship and other stuff. I think he took that out for a reason so that the Gold supporters during the beta can get their specially edited fields. I gave up on this game, its not what I expected, and no, I am not comparing it to modern Madden nor Classic Madden, however I am comparing to Maximum Football 2.0 . I prefer Maximum Football 2.0, it has all the features an ultimate American Football want except for the updated graphics which the community back then eye candy it.. I have Axis 16 and I gave it a chance, you would think the most of the bugs should have been fix since Axis 15. I know its a one man team so does Maximum Football, now if Maximum Football have the player models that Axis does, well that would be the Ultimate game.

Hey are you the Dream Team you know Jaxton Jackets? Well if you are, do you have jdhalfrack's Max FB Editor (version 1.7.0), I have been searching for that. Also I was planning to release 5 or more Stadiums that i have built from either scratch or manipulate parts of the Stadium models, i've never released them ever.. I posted a few pictures of one stadium on the old forums.

Thanks for the reply loacl8h. Yes it's DreamTeams of the Metro Football League and the Jaxton Jackets. I'm in the process of slowly placing all of my teams in Axis Football 18. Still that's too bad about the stadium editor being removed. Having 'Axis Football League' pasted all over my stadiums instead of my fictional league name (Metro Football League) hampers the emersion. So far, I like the game but know it has plenty of room to grow.

Max Football was so much fun but the heavy maintenance to keep the games competitive pretty much turned me off. Tried to fire up Max Football in Windows 10 (for old-times sake) but was unable to run it. Are you able to run it in Windows 10?

Yes I still have the Max Football Editor (version 1.7.0). Let me know if and where you want me to send it.

[local8h]

Hey, yes I run Maximum Football on Windows 10. I run it on Windows Mode 800× 600(You know the trick making a blank txt file. Renaming it as windowsmode.txt and placing the file at the Maximum Football folder.) but in Full Screen using Scott's Utility. I posted the instruction on how to run Maximum Football windows mode on Full Screen at the Matrix Maximum Football forums. All smooth like when its run on Windows 7.I will PM you about Player Editor.

[dreamteams]

Thanks local8h. That worked. Gotta admit it was fun experiencing Max Football again.

Hey dreamteams, I sent you an private message, can you send me the editor to my email i provided on the private message?
