Default Real College World Mods pack (auto installer)

As i did for TCB, i'm going to work on an auto installer for DDSCB with all the real team nicknames, logos, courts, coaches etc etc. It will be an executable file with some options that will install all the selected mods in the correct location with a few clicks.

Really important note, this is not "my mod" this is a group of a lot of different mods by different contributors, i just added my own files to it and created this auto-installer to make things easier for all you.

So big thanks to Silvam14, Phillsjames, rtruesdell and all the other mod makers for their great effort.

Note: First at all, i'm not affiliated on any way with Wolverine Studios or any of the game developers/publishers. Second, i do this just for fun, i get ZERO profit from doing it other than personal satisfaction.

To avoid any kind of trouble to WS using a trade mark name in their forums, i'll always talk about "real world" instead of using the real competition name that we all know.

Of course i'll gladly accept suggestions and will post an updated database as soon as i finish it for you guys to betatest and detect/report errors for me to edit them before the final database is released.

About support, i'll do my best to help anybody with possible problems to use this mod, but please always remember i do this for free and for fun so i won't be here 24/7 providing step by step support for everybody. Also you must know that there is always a risk of unexpected crashes when using any user made mod, like if a logo is not correctly named, or there is an error in the database etc, so if you use this and your game crashes, report it here and i'll try to fix it, but please don't get rude or accuse me or any of the mod makers of every game crash you have or about ruining your game as we never forced you to use this mod, in fact it's a gift we offer you, and nobody should ever complain about gifts. Take note that rude comments against mod makers is the main cause of them to stop to work on new mods.

The updated download link will be always in this first post of the thread.

The first version is finished, remember than to use it, you need to start a new game as it doesn't affect saved games.

You can download it from the new text sims site i'm working on:

http://www.managersims.com

At the bottom of the site you can find the link where it says "Latest downloads additions. Registration in the site is not required, you can just download it if you want, but please, if you have 5 minutes or less, register at the site so i can track all the users who are getting the file and also in the future i'll email you with new downloads and all the features that i wan to add to that site.

Icy DDSCB Real pack v1.3 includes:

This version includes:

- Real team, arenas and conference names by Icy (Corrected some teams names from the 1.2 version)
- Real courts by rtruesdell and philsgames
(If no court has been created for a team by now, i created a default one instead to avoid crashes)
- Option to restore the original database
- Team and conference logos in Yahoo style by Icy like:



- Team and conference logos classic style by Icy like:


- Team and conference logos in beveled style by silvan14

Icy, if/when I get to designing any courts, the will be hosted on my site and you will certainly be welcome to include any of my work in your installer.

I may do some intro screens as I did for BowlBound but depends on the amount of time I have.

Awesome, thanks. I noticed that UMBC is still listed as Baltimore in the America East conference.
