Editing Helmets

[L DOg]

I saw in the mods that they have heavily edited helmets with logos and things like that, is there any way to do that myself for other teams? Just wondering if anyone knows how to do it. Thank You!

If you know how to use graphic software, yes, you can edit over an existing graphic yourself (save as a different name)

Yeah, the editor limits helmets to text, like "GT" etc. You'd need an external editor to create logos. Great question!

Hello I use gimp to create logos. What files would I need to edit to be able to create graphics for helmets.

First off, you need to be familiar with layers and how layers work -- if you aren't, then get yourself at least a basic working knowledge of that (look through videos/documentation on Gimp, PhotoShop, PaintShopPro (whatever pro editor you will be using -- don't use MS Paint (it is really weak and frankly can't do what needs to be done very well).

And I suggest you download and use the helmet templates that DreamTeams has provided, found here near the bottom of the page:

- there are logo's all over the place (simply search the internet) - and these can all be manipulated/color changed, etc. etc. , or get creative and design your own. :-)

Here are mine so far from a previous fantasy league I created for Madden '08 but moved to this game, a few purely mine, others off the internet (and/or highly edited) - using DreamTeam's wonderful helmet template and Paint Shop Pro X8 (DreamTeams may notice one familiar looking team in the group ;) - added his wonderful Blues team to my fantasy league)

Anyway, lot's of fun to be had and this is an AMAZING game for creating your own unique fantasy leagues!

Solid job on those, redwolf9. All of your helmets look great! Go Blues!

Hey thank you for your response!! Very helpful!!

[redwolf9]

@DreamTeams - hey thanks :-) (and ya, I loved your Blues and it made a great fit)

@cordell.spears - I am glad it was useful. A lot of it is simply learning what your graphics program can do - you are going to be doing lots of cutting, pasting, resizing, layering, flood-filling, etc. Play around with your graphics program and see what it can do - and for sure make use of the templates (far easier that way and will save you some headaches). Have fun and try to enjoy the process and learn what you can with it as you go. :-)
