Thank you very much elguapo!
Re: Madden NFL 2004 Uniforms: Tips & Tricks
Good work elguapo! I'm working on extracting/mapping any and all mmaps in the .dat files for 2004. If you come across the plate that says ROOKIE or the menu words that say PLAY NOW let me know....thanks!!

At the moment I have no interest in modding madden 04 and the stadiums and the uniforms were just to satisfy my curiosity.

The breakthrough came when the tools were created to be able to do this sort of stuff.
Re: Madden NFL 2004 Uniforms: Tips & Tricks
This is an amazing find! I've always said that the only real advantage 08 had over 04 was the customization possible through all of the different modding tools everyone created. This changes everything. I also tried this using Stringray's dat editor on uniforms I ripped using the instructions you provided elguapo, and presto, it works! Thank you so much for figuring this out. Combined with the added stadiums you provided, this opens a whole new world for 04.
Re: Madden NFL 2004 Uniforms: Tips & Tricks
I do agree that changing or updating the uniforms will improve Madden 04. The interesting thing about Madden 04 is that since Texmod does not function with it... all of the modding will have to be through the DAT files which will make it a bit more challenging.
...but did you know that since JD's MUER program has been around, Madden 04 could have been modded too? One of the things I do when I mod is to Mod smarter, not harder. What I mean by that is that instead of trying to decompress every single file you should first try to identify known files then decompress the unknown files. By using the TEAM table, you can create maps of images on the dat files using the columns values. The attachment are an example of three DAT files that have been mapped using TEAM column values. Decompressing one single file and using it as a template to replace any of the other files in that DAT file.
Hope this encourages the Madden 04 gamers to team up and update it.

I just did what you did and look at the 04 uniforms in 08. They look terrible in 08.
Re: Madden NFL 2004 Uniforms: Tips & Tricks
That's because the '04 uniforms don't have uniforms "BUMPS" that the '08 have. I knew someone was going to try and play with the uniforms.

Yes, but the color is much better. Wonder what happened to them?
