Software

This page serves as an overview over useful software for cup-related activities. This does not just include PES modding, but also contributing to the culture around it, for example through promo material and team logos.

2D Graphics

Inkscape

Inkscape is a free and open-source vector editing software. It's especially useful if you're looking for a way to create team logos or interface graphics.

The wiki allows for .svg uploads and renders them out automatically; though saving a copy as "Plain" or "Optimised SVG" inside Inkscape is recommended before throwing it on the wiki, as Inkscape's default SVG output format contains a lot of editor metadata.

GIMP

GIMP is a free and open-source raster editing software, similar to Photoshop (but more of a pain in the ass to use).

GIMP could be used to edit kits and faces, as well as the usual applications in promo material such as posters.

GIMP DDS Plugin

GIMP DDS Plugin is an optional Plugin for GIMP which enables it to open and save DDS files, a common format for textures used by DirectX games.

Note: Some of PES files are 'zlibbed', i.e. compressed. You first need to 'unzlib' them before GIMP will be able to open them correctly.

Krita

Krita is a free and open-source digital painting application. If you're looking for a tool to help you draw porn of your favourite player, this might be of interest to you.

3D Graphics

Blender

Blender is a free and open-source 3d editing software. Using the addons developed by the PES modding community, Blender can be used to create custom faces for PES players.

As Blender features video editing, animation and rendering features, it can also be used for dank promo material.

IRC Clients

HexChat

HexChat is a free and open-source IRC client for Windows, Linux and OSX. It comes with most of the functionality you'd expect from an IRC client, such as colour support and scripting capabilities.

Quassel

Quassel is a free and open-source IRC client based around a separated client/core architecture. The core runs on your own server which keeps you connected to your IRC networks, while the clients simply communicate with the core. It is available for Windows, Linux, OSX and Android.

Quassel sports less features than your usual IRC clients, but can also be used like a regular IRC client using the "monolithic" version.

WeeChat

WeeChat is a free and open-source terminal-based IRC client for UNIX systems such as OSX, Linux, BSD and cygwin. While not what most GUI users are looking for, it's very modular and easily extensible.

As a terminal client, it's possible to run it in a remote shell through a tmux or screen session and attach it as needed.

Other

Puush

Puush is a software and service for OSX and Windows which allows you to quickly share screenshots and files. It's popular with many people from the cup, and you'll often find them linking puu.sh links.
