Hi everybody! Sorry, if I write at the wrong place. But, I just want to say than I work to make staff/players pics of a league :

Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (the one based in Province of Quebec, Canada).

I don't see anything about this league. So, I start work on them.

If someone is already work on it, just reply and tell me. I have start with Trois-Riviere Caron & Guay team.

I don't know how long it will take me to finish it, but I will tell you later who the work is going.



First, I woul like to say than this work is based on the standard database with the 2.1.3 version of the game. And I will not remake pics for players/staff than they have already one from another set from TBL site.

First off of course welcome to TBL! =D>

Sounds like a good project to me. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Both me and Devils88 have done a bunch of sets so we can I'm sure help you out if you need it. Good luck and welcome again! :thup:

Thanks...

Thanks for your welcome Minstrel.

Since you you offer to help me if I need some, I have a question for you:

What site(s) do you go to find some players and staff pics? I go on official team site, and I go on hockeydb.com... but I have already some players without pics. Do you know some others who can help me?

I will edit my first message to update my work for now.

Sorry I missed your earlier messages... looks like you are making good progress though!

The sources are always the most difficult part of the EHM projects. I don't really know of any better sites to point you to as I don't do much facepack work. Maybe one of the other guys can help you out though.

I know when I'm looking for jerseys and logos I start with the team sites, and if I still can't find anything I will do a google image search hoping to come up with something. Sometimes it can give you a site that eventually brings you to a better site. It can be time consuming and frustrating though :doh:

I'm not sure if you've seen Devils88's QMJHL pack but what we decided to do for that one since source pics were easy to find but all very small was to make a background that he put the smaller pictures onto, instead of englarging them and making them distorted. Not to claim undue credit the only portion of that project I was involved in is I made the background with the league logo on it for him. 8-) If it would be helpful for you I could create one for you to use.

With tougher to complete sets we've had people put together the set and release it. They then work on finding the harder to find pics and when they get more of them together they release a second file with the new pictures. You really do have quite a lot done, so that might be a good option for you too. :thup:

Yes, I know the ScoreKeeper site. And to be honnest, this site have not may players pics. And those who they have, they are small and in poor quality.

I will continue to look on internet with Google (Google is our friend) and I will inform you of what the things is going.

Maybe, in my next update, I will tell which player I miss to finish all this.

By the way, if I made the team's logo too, does it will work in the game? If yes, what is the name of the folder to put them in?

Thanks!
