This page describes the proper format for Aesthetic Exports.


'''''Note: The Aesthetic Export format described by this page is currently only valid for the VGL'''''
Since scripts are used for automatically checking and compiling Aesthetic Exports, it is important that all the files are in the correct folder in the export.<br>
The first section explains the general structure of an export, while the second section contains details about its contents.


----
'''Make sure to check the template and tool links at the [[AET#Downloads|bottom of the page]].'''<br>
 
The template can be used as a base to make exports for new teams.
The scripts used for automatically checking and compiling Aesthetic Exports require all the files to be in the correct folder in the export. The first section explains the structure of a properly made export. The second section contains more general rules. At the bottom of the page a Template can be downloaded.<br>
All the Aesthetic Exports posted on a team page must be uploaded by a verified manager of the team, or at least signed by them.<br>
 
'''Make sure to check the template and conversion tool links at the [[AET#Downloads|bottom of the page]].'''

The folders of a complete export are these:<br>
The folders and files contained in a complete export are the following:<br>
(XXX is your Team Name, ### is your [[Pro_Evolution_Soccer_2016/Team_IDs|Team ID]])<br>
(--- is your Team Name. XXX is anything three characters long, it'll get replaced with the actual team ID by the compiler. Leaving it as XXX is recommended.)<br>

There is no real need to zlib anything before adding it to the export nor does every folder need to be filled, you just use the folders you need to use.<br>
'''If you have any empty folders, please delete them to make checking your export easier.'''<br>
If you have any empty folders, please delete them to make checking your export easier.<br>




== Details ==
== Required stuff ==


=== Main Export Folder ===
=== Main Export Folder ===
<u>Please don't forget to change the ''XXX'' and ''###'' in the template to your team's name and id.</u><br>
<u>Please don't forget to change the ''---'' in the template to your team's name.</u><br>
The zip or 7z file you'll make to upload the export can either contain a main folder with the various folders inside of it, or just the various folders. Both ways are fine.<br>
The zipped file ('''zip or 7z formats only''') you'll make to upload the export must contain a main folder (with the team name) with the various folders inside of it.<br>




=== XXX Note.txt ===
=== Note txt ===
'''This is the most important file and the only one that is <u>absolutely required</u>.'''<br>
The Note txt file contains info about your team name, its colors and its amount of kits and their colors.<br>
Inside your XXX Note.txt you'll find a set up template for you to fill in.<br>
'''This file is required. If you don't have one you can ask the aesthetics helper to make one for you.'''<br>


*'''Team''' (<u>Required</u>) - Replace /XXX/ with your board.
Here's a template file you can copy:<br>
*'''ID''' (<u>Required</u>) - Replace ### with your team's 3 digit ID.
*'''Team Colours''' (Optional) - Replace the 'RGB's with '''RGB codes''' for colours, please fill at least the first two colours and <u>delete any unused lines</u>.
*'''Kit Colours''' (<u>Required</u>) - Replace the 'RGB's with '''RGB codes''' for colours, please fill only the colours corresponding to the kits you have and <u>delete any extra lines</u>.
*'''Other Notes''' (Optional) - If you have any notes you'd like the Aesthetics Helper to see, for example to point out what to do with stuff you put in the 'Other' folder, stick them here. Feel free to use it as a shitposting box too.


If you don't know what to write in the RGB fields just replace them with 000. They're only used in the game menus anyway.<br>
{| class="wikitable"
If you prefer, you can use '''Hex codes''' for the team and kit colours. Write them in the format '#RRGGBB'.<br>
|-
For example, these two lines are equivalent:<br>
| <code>Team: /---/<br>
- 1st Player: 000 000 000 - 255 255 255<br>
- 1st Player: #000000 - #FFFFFF<br>


Team Colours:<br>
- 1st: #RRGGBB<br>
- 2nd: #RRGGBB<br>


=== Faces ===
Kit Colours:<br>
This folder is used for all the face files and folders.<br>
- 1st player: #RRGGBB - #RRGGBB<br>
- 2nd player: #RRGGBB - #RRGGBB<br>
- 3rd player: #RRGGBB - #RRGGBB<br>
- 4th player: #RRGGBB - #RRGGBB<br>
- 5th player: #RRGGBB - #RRGGBB<br>
- 6th player: #RRGGBB - #RRGGBB<br>
- 7th player: #RRGGBB - #RRGGBB<br>
- 8th player: #RRGGBB - #RRGGBB<br>
- 9th player: #RRGGBB - #RRGGBB<br>


Please set out your face folders to look like the following:<br>
- 1st GK: #RRGGBB - #RRGGBB<br>
*'''Faces\xxxxx - Simple Player Name'''<br>
Where xxxxx is the player's ID. All the player files will go in this folder.<br>
The player name can have spaces, not correspond exactly to the player's name, and be as long or short as you want, provided that it doesn't have <span class="explain" title="In particular  \ / : * ? &quot; &lt; &gt; | ">special characters</span>.<br>
Adding the player name is not compulsory, but it is recommended to make finding and fixing faces with problems easier.<br>
<br>
For example, if you have multiple faces, your face folder can look something like this (using /gd/'s ID 720 as the example): <br>
*'''Faces\72001 - Untitled-1.AI'''<br>
*'''Faces\72002'''<br>
*'''Faces\72003 - ratelogo'''<br>
*... <br>


Of course, only make folders for the players that have custom models, so if, for example, player 04 doesn't have any models or has an ingame edited face, do not make a face folder for ###04.
Other Notes:<br>
-<br></code>
|}


''Do not add any .cpk files to the export, the compiler will build all the .cpk files itself after checking all player folders.''<br>
*'''Team''' - Replace /---/ with your team's name.
*'''Team Colours''' - Replace the RRGGBB parts with '''RGB hex codes''' for colours, please <u>fill both colours</u> (if you only have one team color, you can use it twice). You can usually get the codes from the infobox on your team's wikipage (enter page edit mode and check the color1 and color2 properties).
*'''Kit Colours''' - Replace the RRGGBB parts with '''RGB hex codes''' for colours, please only fill the colours corresponding to the kits you have and <u>delete any leftover lines</u>. You can get the codes by opening your textures with paint.net, using the color picker on the two main colors, and copying the codes from the Colors panel (click on More to extend it). The amount of lines will let PES understand how many kits you have.
*'''Other Notes''' (Optional) - If you have any notes you'd like the Aesthetics Helper to see, stick them here. Feel free to use it as a shitposting box too.
 
If you're having trouble with filling up the color codes feel free to ask for help.<br>
If you prefer, you can use RGB codes in decimal format for the team and kit colours. Write them in the format RRR GGG BBB.<br>
For example, these two lines are equivalent:<br>
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| <code>- 1st Player: #01020A - #FFFFFF
- 1st Player: 001 002 010 - 255 255 255<br></code>
|}




=== Kit Configs ===
=== Kit Configs ===
This folder is used for the team's kit config files.<br>
This folder is used for the team's kit config files.<br>
'''Kit configs are required.'''<br>


Inside ''Kit Configs'' there is a folder named ''###''. Put all the kit config files in the ''###' folder, '''then rename ''###'' to your team's 3 digit ID.'''<br>
Put all the kit config files straight in this folder. '''Avoid using the intermediate folder with the team ID used in the past.'''<br>
Do not try to add multiple GK kits, PES only allows one anyway. A team has a maximum of 10 kits of which one always needs to be the GK, so you can have 9 outfield kits at most.<br>
Do not try to add multiple GK kit configs, PES only allows one anyway. A team has a maximum of 10 kits of which one always needs to be the GK, so you can have 9 outfield kits at most.<br>


'''Make sure that the config files follow the [[Pro_Evolution_Soccer_2016/Kits#Naming_kit_config_files|standard naming]], otherwise they may not work.'''<br>
The naming convention is as follows:
* XXX_DEF_GK1st_realUni.bin (gk kit)
* XXX_DEF_1st_realUni.bin (1st outfielder kit)
* XXX_DEF_2nd_realUni.bin (2nd outfielder kit)
* ...




=== Kit Textures ===
=== Kit Textures ===
This folder is used for the team's kit texture files.<br>
This folder is used for the team's kit texture files.<br>
'''Kit textures are required.'''<br>
Just put all the kit textures of your team in this folder.<br>
The naming convention is as follows:
* u0XXXg1.dds (gk kit, main texture)
* u0XXXp1.dds (1st outfielder kit, main texture)
* u0XXXp2.dds (2nd outfielder kit, main texture)
* ...
For each kit, you can also have the following optional textures, provided they've been listed on the respective kit configs.
Example with p1, starting from PES18:
* u0XXXp1_back.dds (number font)
* u0XXXp1_chest.dds (number font)
* u0XXXp1_leg.dds (number font)
* u0XXXp1_name.dds (character font)
* u0XXXp1_srm.dds (texture for '''[[Pro_Evolution_Soccer_2018/Kits#Proper_Method|custom shading]]''')
For PES16 and 17, check the naming convention for the optional textures '''[[Pro Evolution Soccer 2016/Kits#Naming textures|here]]'''.<br>
=== Logo ===
This folder is used for providing your Team Logo.<br>
'''The logo files are required.'''<br>


Just put all your normal kit textures of your team in this folder.<br>
Put three .png images in this format:<br>
* emblem_0XXX_r.png (128x128 pixels) (mainly shown in tactical screens and at the bottom of the screen during the match)
* emblem_0XXX_r_l.png (256x256 pixels) (seemingly never shown, maybe in the team selection menu)
* emblem_0XXX_r_ll.png (512x512 pixels) (mainly shown in the match intro)
'''Note that the last part is lowercase L and LL, not uppercase i and ii.'''<br>
The three images do not have to be the exact same logo. You can use a simpler version for the smaller one, or whatever you can think of.<br>


'''Make sure that the texture files follow the [[Pro Evolution Soccer 2016/Kits#Naming textures|naming convention]], otherwise they may conflict with the textures from other teams or just not work.'''<br>
 
=== Portraits ===
This folder is used for the team's player portraits, for players who don't have a face folder.<br>
'''Portraits are required, the Portraits folder isn't required if you put the portraits in the face folders.'''<br>
 
Each player's portrait consists in a DDS (DXT5, 128x128) texture. '''They need to be saved as .dds, do not rename .png files.'''<br>
For all the players who have a face folder, you can and should '''include the portraits in their face folders''', using "portrait.dds" as filename. This way, when you change a player's ID you don't need to rename the portrait too.<br>
If your team only has a few players with in-game models, you can avoid creating a Portrait folder just for them and instead create face folders with their team ID and player name, containing only the portrait file.<br>
<br>
If you still want to use the Portraits folder, you need to use "player_XXXxx.dds" as filename, where xx is the player's number in the team (between 01 and 23).<br>
Example:
* player_XXX01.dds
* player_XXX02.dds
* player_XXX03.dds
* ...
 
If all of your players' portraits are inside face folders you can delete and ignore the Portraits folder.<br>
If the compiler finds a portrait for the same player in the face folder and in the Portrait folder, it will prioritize the one from the face folder.<br>
<br>
'''If you're using PES17''':<br>
To test the portraits in PES after compiling your export make sure to clear the Appearance flags in your editfile.<br>
If you're using the Rigit-style editor you do this by clicking on Database > Fix Database, then saving.<br>
if you're using the NGE-style editor you do this by clicking on 4CC > Reset All Flags, then saving.<br>
You need to do this every time you import an export into your savefile, otherwise some portraits will end up looking blank.
 
== Optional stuff ==
 
=== Faces ===
This folder is used for all the custom face folders.<br>
'''Custom face folders are optional, but you must have a custom head made using the in-game editor for every player without a face folder.'''<br>
 
The naming convention is the following:<br>
* XXX01 - Player Name
* XXX02 - Player Name
* ...
You can leave XXX as it is, it'll get replaced with the actual team ID by the compiler. After it comes the player's number in the team (between 01 and 23).<br>
The player name on the folder name doesn't need to correspond exactly to the player's actual name. It can have spaces, and be as long or short as you want, but please don't use <span class="explain" title="In particular  \ / : * ! ? &quot; &lt; &gt; | ">special characters</span>.<br>
Adding the player name is '''required''' since it makes finding and fixing faces with problems easier<br>
<br>
 
Keep in mind you should include the player's portrait in this folder, using "portrait.dds" as filename.<br>
If a player has an in-game custom head, you can make a face folder for them with just the portrait file inside it.<br>
 
'''Do not add any .cpk, .fpk or .fpkd files to the export, the compiler will build all the cpk/fpk files itself after checking all the player folders.'''<br>
'''Also, avoid including any unused files, unless they're txt files added to point something out.'''




=== Boots ===
=== Boots ===
This folder is used for all the custom Boots folders for your team. It's completely optional.<br>
This folder is used for all the custom Boots folders for your team.<br>
''Boots folders are optional.''<br>


Add all the boot folders as they are in ''common\character0\model\character\boots'', so like ''k0101'', to this folder.<br>
The naming convention is the following:<br>
You should get something like ''GD Aesthetic Export\Boots\k0600\<boots files>''.
* k#### - Player name / Boots description
* k#### - Player name / Boots description
* ...
Where #### is the boots ID (between 0001 and 9999).<br>
You should add the player name the boots will be used for or, if the model will be used on multiple players, simply a description of what it is. Please don't use <span class="explain" title="In particular  \ / : * ! ? &quot; &lt; &gt; | ">special characters</span>.<br>


Each team has a designated amount of slots which you can find on [[Pro Evolution Soccer 2016/Boots|this page]].<br>
Every team has a reserved set of ID slots which you can find on '''[[Pro Evolution Soccer 2019/Boots|this page]]'''.<br>
Boots will not be added to the ''Boots.bin'' so they will not show up in the ingame list, use [[RigIt]] to assign the correct boots ID to your players. Do not add thumbnails to the export either.<br>
Boots will not be added to the ''Boots.bin'' file so they will not show up in the ingame boots list, use a save editor to assign the correct boots ID to your players. Do not add thumbnail files either.<br>




=== Gloves ===
=== Gloves ===
This folder is used for all the custom GK Gloves folders for your team. It's completely optional.<br>
This folder is used for all the custom Gloves folders for your team.<br>

Where #### is the gloves ID (between 0001 and 9999).<br>
You should add the player name the gloves will be used for or, if the model will be used on multiple players, simply a description of what it is. Please don't use <span class="explain" title="In particular  \ / : * ! ? &quot; &lt; &gt; | ">special characters</span>.<br>
 
Every team has a reserved set of ID slots which you can find on '''[[Pro Evolution Soccer 2019/Gloves|this page]]'''. They're the same as for boots.<br>
Gloves will not be added to the ''Glove.bin'' file so they will not show up in the ingame gloves list, use a save editor to assign the correct gloves ID to your players. Do not add thumbnail files either.<br>


Add all the gloves folders as they are in ''common\character0\model\character\glove'', so like ''g101'', to this folder.<br>
You should get something like ''GD Aesthetic Export\Gloves\g600\<gloves files>''.


Each team has a designated amount of slots which you can find on [[Pro Evolution Soccer 2016/Gloves|this page]].<br>
=== Collars ===
Gloves will not be added to the ''Glove.bin'' so they will not show up in the ingame list, use [[RigIt]] to assign the correct gloves ID to your players. Do not add thumbnails to the export either.<br>
This folder is used for custom models used as collars for your team.<br>
''Custom collar models are optional.''<br>


The filename format is simply "collar_###.fmdl", where ### is the collar ID (between 001 and 255).<br>
Please contact the aesthetic helper beforehand to reserve the ID slots you want to use and to make sure they aren't currently in use.<br>


=== Logo ===
This folder is used for providing your Team Logo, especially in the case of a new team. It's completely optional.<br>


Put three .png images in this format:<br>
=== Common ===
*emblem_0###_r.png (128x128 pixels) (mainly used in tactical screens)
This advanced folder is used for any files you want to share across multiple players instead of adding them to each of their face folders, saving space in the export and making fixes faster.<br>
*emblem_0###_r_l.png (256x256 pixels) (mainly used in menus)
''Common files are optional.''<br>
*emblem_0###_r_ll.png (512x512 pixels) (mainly used in match start screens)
Where ### is your Team ID, and that last character is a lowercase L.<br>
The three images do not have to be the exact same logo. You can use a simpler version for the smaller one, or whatever you can think of. Please be reasonable though.<br>


* If using Pre-Fox PES (16/17):<br>'''Loading .model files from Common is not supported by PES16.'''
** Any files you place here will be moved to the following folder:
*** common\character1\model\character\uniform\common\***\ (where *** is your team ID)
** Use the following as path in the xml and mtl files of the models for which you want to use these files, instead of the usual ./
*** model/character/uniform/common/000/ (keep 000, it will be replaced with your team ID by the compiler)<br>.
* If using Fox PES (18 or higher):
** Any files you place here will be moved to the following folder:
*** Asset\model\character\common\***\sourceimages\#windx11\ (where *** is your team ID)
** Use the following as texture path in your FMDL models:
*** /Assets/pes16/model/character/common/000/sourceimages/ (keep 000, it will be replaced with your team ID by the compiler)<br>.
Any dds texture files will be converted automatically to ftex if using PES18 or higher.<br>


=== Other ===
== Other stuff ==
Use this folder for anything that does not belong in any of the other folders or if you are not sure if something goes in which folder.<br>
Any other stuff, like new banners, balls and stadiums '''must not''' be added to the export.<br>
Please leave a note of your files at the bottom section of the XXX Note.txt so that nothing gets left out.<br>
Instead send them directly to someone from the [[Contact#Aesthetics_Helper.27s_personal_aesthetics_Discord|Aesthetics Council]].<br>

This page describes the proper format for Aesthetic Exports.

Since scripts are used for automatically checking and compiling Aesthetic Exports, it is important that all the files are in the correct folder in the export.
The first section explains the general structure of an export, while the second section contains details about its contents.

Make sure to check the template and tool links at the bottom of the page.
The template can be used as a base to make exports for new teams.

Structure of an Aesthetic Export

The folders and files contained in a complete export are the following:
(--- is your Team Name. XXX is anything three characters long, it'll get replaced with the actual team ID by the compiler. Leaving it as XXX is recommended.)

Required:

  • --- Note.txt
  • Kit Configs
    • XXX_DEF_GK1st_realUni.bin
    • XXX_DEF_1st_realUni.bin
    • XXX_DEF_2nd_realUni.bin
    • ...
  • Kit Textures
    • u0XXXg1.dds
    • u0XXXp1.dds
    • u0XXXp2.dds
    • ...
  • Logo
    • emblem_0XXX_r.png
    • emblem_0XXX_r_l.png
    • emblem_0XXX_r_ll.png
  • Portraits
    • player_XXX01.dds
    • player_XXX02.dds
    • ...

Optional:

  • Faces
    • XXX01 - Player name
      • (Files)
    • XXX02 - Player name
      • (Files)
    • ...
  • Boots
    • k#### - Player name / Boots description
      • (Files)
    • k#### - Player name / Boots description
      • (Files)
    • ...
  • Gloves
    • g#### - Player name / Gloves description
      • (Files)
    • g#### - Player name / Gloves description
      • (Files)
    • ...
  • Collars
    • collar_###.fmdl
    • collar_###.fmdl
    • ...
  • Common
    • (Files)


If you have any empty folders, please delete them to make checking your export easier.


Required stuff

Main Export Folder

Please don't forget to change the --- in the template to your team's name.
The zipped file (zip or 7z formats only) you'll make to upload the export must contain a main folder (with the team name) with the various folders inside of it.


Note txt

The Note txt file contains info about your team name, its colors and its amount of kits and their colors.
This file is required. If you don't have one you can ask the aesthetics helper to make one for you.

Here's a template file you can copy:

Team: /---/

Other Notes:
-

  • Team - Replace /---/ with your team's name.
  • Team Colours - Replace the RRGGBB parts with RGB hex codes for colours, please fill both colours (if you only have one team color, you can use it twice). You can usually get the codes from the infobox on your team's wikipage (enter page edit mode and check the color1 and color2 properties).
  • Kit Colours - Replace the RRGGBB parts with RGB hex codes for colours, please only fill the colours corresponding to the kits you have and delete any leftover lines. You can get the codes by opening your textures with paint.net, using the color picker on the two main colors, and copying the codes from the Colors panel (click on More to extend it). The amount of lines will let PES understand how many kits you have.
  • Other Notes (Optional) - If you have any notes you'd like the Aesthetics Helper to see, stick them here. Feel free to use it as a shitposting box too.

If you're having trouble with filling up the color codes feel free to ask for help.
If you prefer, you can use RGB codes in decimal format for the team and kit colours. Write them in the format RRR GGG BBB.
For example, these two lines are equivalent:

- 1st Player: #01020A - #FFFFFF

- 1st Player: 001 002 010 - 255 255 255


Kit Configs

This folder is used for the team's kit config files.
Kit configs are required.

Put all the kit config files straight in this folder. Avoid using the intermediate folder with the team ID used in the past.
Do not try to add multiple GK kit configs, PES only allows one anyway. A team has a maximum of 10 kits of which one always needs to be the GK, so you can have 9 outfield kits at most.

The naming convention is as follows:

  • XXX_DEF_GK1st_realUni.bin (gk kit)
  • XXX_DEF_1st_realUni.bin (1st outfielder kit)
  • XXX_DEF_2nd_realUni.bin (2nd outfielder kit)
  • ...


Kit Textures

This folder is used for the team's kit texture files.
Kit textures are required.

Just put all the kit textures of your team in this folder.

The naming convention is as follows:

  • u0XXXg1.dds (gk kit, main texture)
  • u0XXXp1.dds (1st outfielder kit, main texture)
  • u0XXXp2.dds (2nd outfielder kit, main texture)
  • ...

For each kit, you can also have the following optional textures, provided they've been listed on the respective kit configs. Example with p1, starting from PES18:

  • u0XXXp1_back.dds (number font)
  • u0XXXp1_chest.dds (number font)
  • u0XXXp1_leg.dds (number font)
  • u0XXXp1_name.dds (character font)
  • u0XXXp1_srm.dds (texture for custom shading)

For PES16 and 17, check the naming convention for the optional textures here.


This folder is used for providing your Team Logo.
The logo files are required.

Put three .png images in this format:

  • emblem_0XXX_r.png (128x128 pixels) (mainly shown in tactical screens and at the bottom of the screen during the match)
  • emblem_0XXX_r_l.png (256x256 pixels) (seemingly never shown, maybe in the team selection menu)
  • emblem_0XXX_r_ll.png (512x512 pixels) (mainly shown in the match intro)

Note that the last part is lowercase L and LL, not uppercase i and ii.
The three images do not have to be the exact same logo. You can use a simpler version for the smaller one, or whatever you can think of.


Portraits

This folder is used for the team's player portraits, for players who don't have a face folder.
Portraits are required, the Portraits folder isn't required if you put the portraits in the face folders.

Each player's portrait consists in a DDS (DXT5, 128x128) texture. They need to be saved as .dds, do not rename .png files.
For all the players who have a face folder, you can and should include the portraits in their face folders, using "portrait.dds" as filename. This way, when you change a player's ID you don't need to rename the portrait too.
If your team only has a few players with in-game models, you can avoid creating a Portrait folder just for them and instead create face folders with their team ID and player name, containing only the portrait file.

If you still want to use the Portraits folder, you need to use "player_XXXxx.dds" as filename, where xx is the player's number in the team (between 01 and 23).
Example:

  • player_XXX01.dds
  • player_XXX02.dds
  • player_XXX03.dds
  • ...

If all of your players' portraits are inside face folders you can delete and ignore the Portraits folder.
If the compiler finds a portrait for the same player in the face folder and in the Portrait folder, it will prioritize the one from the face folder.

If you're using PES17:
To test the portraits in PES after compiling your export make sure to clear the Appearance flags in your editfile.
If you're using the Rigit-style editor you do this by clicking on Database > Fix Database, then saving.
if you're using the NGE-style editor you do this by clicking on 4CC > Reset All Flags, then saving.
You need to do this every time you import an export into your savefile, otherwise some portraits will end up looking blank.

Optional stuff

Faces

This folder is used for all the custom face folders.
Custom face folders are optional, but you must have a custom head made using the in-game editor for every player without a face folder.

The naming convention is the following:

  • XXX01 - Player Name
  • XXX02 - Player Name
  • ...

You can leave XXX as it is, it'll get replaced with the actual team ID by the compiler. After it comes the player's number in the team (between 01 and 23).
The player name on the folder name doesn't need to correspond exactly to the player's actual name. It can have spaces, and be as long or short as you want, but please don't use special characters.
Adding the player name is required since it makes finding and fixing faces with problems easier

Keep in mind you should include the player's portrait in this folder, using "portrait.dds" as filename.
If a player has an in-game custom head, you can make a face folder for them with just the portrait file inside it.

Do not add any .cpk, .fpk or .fpkd files to the export, the compiler will build all the cpk/fpk files itself after checking all the player folders.
Also, avoid including any unused files, unless they're txt files added to point something out.


Boots

This folder is used for all the custom Boots folders for your team.
Boots folders are optional.

The naming convention is the following:

  • k#### - Player name / Boots description
  • k#### - Player name / Boots description
  • ...

Where #### is the boots ID (between 0001 and 9999).
You should add the player name the boots will be used for or, if the model will be used on multiple players, simply a description of what it is. Please don't use special characters.

Every team has a reserved set of ID slots which you can find on this page.
Boots will not be added to the Boots.bin file so they will not show up in the ingame boots list, use a save editor to assign the correct boots ID to your players. Do not add thumbnail files either.


Gloves

This folder is used for all the custom Gloves folders for your team.
Gloves folders are optional.

The naming convention is the following:

  • g#### - Player name / Gloves description
  • g#### - Player name / Gloves description
  • ...

Where #### is the gloves ID (between 0001 and 9999).
You should add the player name the gloves will be used for or, if the model will be used on multiple players, simply a description of what it is. Please don't use special characters.

Every team has a reserved set of ID slots which you can find on this page. They're the same as for boots.
Gloves will not be added to the Glove.bin file so they will not show up in the ingame gloves list, use a save editor to assign the correct gloves ID to your players. Do not add thumbnail files either.


Collars

This folder is used for custom models used as collars for your team.
Custom collar models are optional.

The filename format is simply "collar_###.fmdl", where ### is the collar ID (between 001 and 255).
Please contact the aesthetic helper beforehand to reserve the ID slots you want to use and to make sure they aren't currently in use.


Common

This advanced folder is used for any files you want to share across multiple players instead of adding them to each of their face folders, saving space in the export and making fixes faster.
Common files are optional.

  • If using Pre-Fox PES (16/17):
    Loading .model files from Common is not supported by PES16.
    • Any files you place here will be moved to the following folder:
      • common\character1\model\character\uniform\common\***\ (where *** is your team ID)
    • Use the following as path in the xml and mtl files of the models for which you want to use these files, instead of the usual ./
      • model/character/uniform/common/000/ (keep 000, it will be replaced with your team ID by the compiler)
        .
  • If using Fox PES (18 or higher):
    • Any files you place here will be moved to the following folder:
      • Asset\model\character\common\***\sourceimages\#windx11\ (where *** is your team ID)
    • Use the following as texture path in your FMDL models:
      • /Assets/pes16/model/character/common/000/sourceimages/ (keep 000, it will be replaced with your team ID by the compiler)
        .

Any dds texture files will be converted automatically to ftex if using PES18 or higher.

Other stuff

Any other stuff, like new banners, balls and stadiums must not be added to the export.
Instead send them directly to someone from the Aesthetics Council.
