wow that's great

New update hype!
Very nice to see the additional online presence of Mediamond too!

I have two questions about the new update:

1) Do the custom textures support transparency like the current ski Mediamond text texture? Because current helmet and siut texture only really work on the white jumper, if you put the in-game color on it the color blends together and it looks rather ugly.
2) Do the "Minor improvements & bug fixes" include ensuring fall lines on original 24 hills are on refd="f" d="0"? If not, please fix it because it really bugs me when the fall line is in a random place, especially in Kuopio and Planica.

1) Color setting will be disabled for the custom textures. I'll still have to make few decisions about the details. Goggle texture e.g. has alpha transparency supported so that it's possible to see the eyes of the ski jumper through the goggles.
2) I'll have a look on this problem.

I guess it will be good enough, it just means we will have to have more texture files for similar repaints.

I just thought about a related issue too - can we have a way to mass upgrade/produce ski jumpers? Because assigning new textures to hundreds or thousands ski jumpers via in-game UI really doesn't sound like much fun I would love to see something like a .csv to .xml or .skj converter which lets us define hundreds of jumpers at once via Excel or Libre Office Calc. It would also be really helpful for making i.e CPU packs - just copy the competition results to Excel, drag the CPU stats in the next column and you would be ready to go.

Awesome news, I'm looking forward.

[Jacek Michalak]

hoho Finally something is going on, Jussi are you planning to do NP on Fridays or on Tuesdays tournaments on 24 official hills?

I am very excited about the update of ski textures, new jumper model and transparent googles but I have a question. The bib number will have a transparent texture? Beacuse plastron have a e.g big medal on the center and in the World Cup mode numbers change with left-right positions. If bib numbers will have transparent number, I can do this medal in plastron whole and not in bib numbers

[Maciejo-96]

Now it will be easy, because you won't be able to edit numbers in graphic editor. They will be configurable in other, much more comfortable, way.

Excellent, a very well-known leader here would say, done, that's the only thing I'm interested in, will there also be a line of the leader in green under the heading, other changes, (minor improvements and corrections)?

You will be able to define the style of the bib as an XML file and add multiple dynamically generated labels to it. You can choose freely the font, position, alignment, angle, color and weight for each label. The game will render the labels directly to the bib texture.

I have a question. If we already start the World Cup in DSJ, and if we change something in the player during the World Cup (for example, some things in the suit or even the color / texture of the skis), will it update on the save with the World Cup?

Oh my, that is so awesome! What are the dynamic labels? I'm guessing name, country flag, bib number, team 1-4 number...?
