Graphical mods
* Backgrounds and in-game images. You can use a very simple program called Resource Hacker to make other modifications to FOF2004. You can get it here: http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/
* Quick directions for resource hacker *
Open resource hacker. Use the resource hacker file menu to open your frfoot2004.exe game file. It will automatically back up your original game file. Go to the view menu and select expand tree. Scroll to the image you want to change and go to the action menu and select replace bitmap. Select "open file with new bitmap" in the dialog box and and direct it to the replacement image. Click "replace" in the lower righ corner. Go to the file menu to save everything. When you open FOF2004, you will see the modifications. If this sounds complicated, don't worry. You will see it is extremely simple.
*** important note ***
Before you replace an image, click on the original image and go to the action menu and select save bitmap. That way if you want to go back to the original image you will have it.
Some things you can change:
284-285 - you can change the game background to a customized one.
219-222 - you can change the four default scoreboards (I just replace them all with the excellent one by wheelssb);
151 - you can change the positional tags to ones that have different colors for different positions, making it easier to view rosters, etc;
224 - you can change the scoreboard random color text to solid white text;
147 - you can replace the solecismic logo with an nfl or other logo of your choice;
I'll add to this when I remember things or learn of new mods.
p.s. the chances of screwing something up are pretty low. If you have a problem, go back to the original game file that was backed up by Resource Hacker. Nevertheless, be aware that game modifications are not supported by Solecismic, so you can't run to Jim for help.
