With the Custom Team function in PCM09, many people need mini shirts - the graphic objects which appear in the team selection screen, pre 3D-races, etc. Therefore, I've now written a guide which explains how to make a mini shirt, based on a .tga, .png or .jpg version of an 'actual shirt' - and don't worry, it doesn't require any knowledge on graphics.
After a succesful release of PCM.daily's 2009 DB, we'll now begin the work on the 2010 DB. As always, we have high ambitions, and to meet them, we're going to need a great team of crew members.
So, we're looking for pretty much anyone who feel that they can contribute in one way or another. Specifically, we're looking for: - Stat Maker(s) - Shirt Designers - 'Small' Graphics Designers (logos, accessories) - Stage Makers - Additional DB Makers
If you're interested in helping out with PCM.daily's next project, send me a PM, including details about what you'd like to do. If you've worked on any projects before, please mention that too.
On both Wednesday 25th, and Thursday 26th November 10pm CET - 6am CET (Thats 4pm-12am for East coast american folk!), Gamecenter and Cyanides PCM forum will be unavalible due to planned maintenance by the forum and gamecenter provider.
Stage making for PCM has never been easy, and for the same reason, there's always been a lack of them. Earlier this year / last year, we saw the consequences of this in the 2009 DBs for PCM08 as only very few races were updated to its 2009 route. E.g., only the Giro d'Italia, made solely by Johan92, made it to the final version of PCM.daily's 2009 DB for PCM08.
But this year is different. Although there's still a lack of stage makers, it looks like we will get to experience the 2010 Grand Tours in PCM09. Why? Because of a unique cooperation between stage makers across the communities. E.g., 10 stage makers are currently involved in the making of the 2010 Tour de France, while another 9-10 stage makers are working on the 2010 Giro d'Italia. Plenty of the stages have already been made - so, there's reasons to be optimistic.
Anyway, the point of this news article is to support this great collaboration and make the remaining stage makers aware of it and hopefully team up. You can read more about the Giro project here and the Tour project here. It's primarily in French, but it should be pretty self-explanatory. And if you ask, people will definitely help translating it to English.
East European Add-On to PCM.daily's 09 DB released
As we announced in August, two of the PCM.daily DB Crew Members, Ozzy and Maximka, were working on an East European add-on to PCM.daily's 2009 DB. The original DB is very focused on the Central Europe and USA which means that the number of East European teams and races are very low - but with this add-on, this is remidied.
12 teams, primarily American and British ones, have been deleted and replaced with 15 East European teams. 28 new races have been added (a few have been deleted), and the teams' calendar have been tweaked to make the race participation as realistic as possible.
So, if you're from East Europe or just prefer these teams over the American/British ones, this is a must-have! Go download it here where you can also find more information about the new teams and races.
Lastly, thanks a lot to Ozzy, Adams55, Cyryl3000, E-Mail and Maximka for making this add-on.
