[Modding] - How to edit courts ?

Hi,

Here is a tutorial from Kryptonite about courts modding
I thank him for all this informations

You should make a copy of your Full Ace folder to use for editing, just in case you mess up.

This is how I do it, theres probably a better way of doing it as I'm no photoshop expert .

Editing Courts

1 => Open photoshop and start a new project with the following settings :

Width - 2048 pixels
Heigth - 2048 pixels
Color Mode - RBG Color
Background Contents - Transparent

2 => Then go to File/Place...

3 => Then choose whatever image you want to use (obviously 2048x2048 images will look best but you can stretch smaller images to fit) and place it.

I've already extracted a transparent photoshop layer of the court lines which you can download here : http://www.mediafire.com/?e2z2723xkhrgrej

4 => Go to File/Place again..., then choose the courts-1.psd file you just downloaded and place it.

5 => Save as a jpg to your fullace install directory\models\textures
with one of the court file names...

s02_court.jpg
s03_court.jpg
s04_court.jpg
s05_court.jpg
s06_court.jpg
s07_court.jpg

You may also create new ones, s08_court.jpg, s09_court.jpg and so on...

6 => Then just pick the court ingame to see what it looks like.

Heres some pre-made custom courts for those that don't want to use photoshop : http://www.mediafire.com/?s5yqrfj4gdfzvbl

Wood looks good when applied in the clay court slot :

Solarsystem :

I was just joking around when I made these courts, there is to much detail on the court so it's difficult to see the ball at times.

You can also just open up the default court jpegs with photoshop and put smaller images like sponsers and tournement names on them easily :
