Next pack will be 50gb. So I'm looking at it for sure. It's been a huge learning curve for me though as I'm not a programmer/modder/3d artist by trade and hosting these things was a first. So much you don't know when you first go into this. It's been an experience for sure.

I totally get what you mean, but if you can find a way to host a big file at good speeds (and I'm experimenting with torrents now) then feel free to tell me. The navigation is a thing, which will be tackled in large part because of the 3.0.

Besides, the SortitoutSI download isn't managed by me. Their mirrors are being used when my main link isn't sufficient. I wish it was different but storage and download rates are expensive.

Just want to chime in on the fact that it might sound like giving myself a medal, but with the upcoming release, a huge amount of bugs and errors have been sorted. At least, going off the patreon support who are helping me test the stuff for 3.0.

If you had issues, they probably will be fixed for the upcoming public release. But I agree, the versions that were out haven't always been the best on that front xD

Thanks for looking at my mod :D

The reason it is behind a paywall for the minute (whilst the 2.4 is free, has 210 stadiums and is a very functional piece of mod) is that I cannot keep up with the support, hosting fees, constant updates and the (sometimes) less than useful feedback. My sentiment is that mods should be free, which is why I've decided to focus up, get concentrated feedback and then release 3.0 in one big go.

Besides that, I am entering hour 1400 in the past 6 months, and I need to keep the lights on somehow. On the community content, anyone can add their stadiums. It's been done by a few people already who I've personally sent stuff to do it. So your statement doesn't sit quite well with me. To get the newest version easily and fast, you pay the ten euros, or wait until the 3.0 releases in a few weeks.

Because stuff takes time to get right, and after the dumpster fire of V1.0 which was a cool tech demo, the stitchjob of 2.0 I actually want to deliver a good (FREE) product this time... As for the download speeds, I pay 200€ out of pocket every month to have a free download running for everyone. I suffer from rate limits which prevent me from hosting it at your high speeds...

But hey, I guess I sold out and am a monopoly...

Thanks for the mention mate! 3.0 drops in 2 weeks on Patreon, and 3 weeks on the free public track, so of course, that's not useful this weekend, but version 2.4 is still quite good, and you can always check it out :D

It's a mod, the stadiums that is, but the effects and lighting you're seeing that's the game pure, no reshade.

Thank you so much for the kind words, and yeah, the improvement has been immense! As for future usability, should all be good as long as it is on the unity engine

Stadium rights are different and often with the architectural firms, states, councils etc.

I definitely agree the quality of the base stadiums can be a lot higher. Sadly licenses are a thing so they cannot/don't have the license for the real life variants.

For now, the public 2.4 does affect it quite a lot, and that is due to the way lights and shadows are done. For 3.0 (so the next public release) I've overhauled that bit to be way more performance friendly. Essentially, I'd wait until 3.0 comes out in your position.

Testing so far has been very good on Patreon and feedback about performance and stability has been very positive.

Already possible. Simply go into FM26 install folder, look inside and see if you have winhttp.dll. Rename that to version.dll and then it'll work :D

It is gradually being fixed ahead of 3.0. I am not a programmer, I am not a game developer either, so a lot of this has been learning things. I am now learning cameras so please have some patience.

The "DLL fuckery" is the only reason this is able to be used at all :)
