by bandi2o » 20 Apr 2025, 17:48 My intention is not to make a whole pack, just to share the things I made. But since each part of the game file is tied to another (like you need the outfits, anims and grunts in specific order or the Player.ini file is useless), I think it's better to share the whole thing.
I started to find the player.ini in the game always lacking some players years ago so I did some coding to get all the data of players from the official website, and try to use it to generate a fresh new player.ini file instead fixing the old one again and again. I last update the data in the end of 2023, then in the beginning of 2024 they updated the layout of the website and I don't have the energy to rework my code.
Then I decided to collect the things publicly posted here and make some outfits, faces and grunts I can't find here to make a more complete collection for the players active during 2005-2024.(I originally wanted to cover from 2003 when Roger win his 1st gs but since in te2013 one player can only have 20 years at most in their career so I choose 2005 as the beginning year where Rafa win his 1st and the story of big 3 begun)
A lot of stuff is not made by me, I just collect them and put it together. credits to the brilliant modders in this forum (Sam, nard, grandslamaces, Andrews, ELRAFAg, torto14, campos99, ivanLjubicic, TE Production, Roms, OneRafa, yiph2 and many others, sorry I don't remember everyone
)This should be a playable pack if used as a mod but I didn't have time to test a lot. However, my intention is to share the new player.ini with the outfits/faces/grunts added, so the other part may not be polished (like tournaments).I made a .xlsx file as reference included in the zip. so you can check in it to get the part you want.

I'll list the situation in each part of the pack below.
Players
- most new generation players are included
- only have the player data between 2005 and 2026. So before 2005 and after 2026 will have 0 player.
- ranking between 2005-2023 is mostly accurate from official data(except I did some changes such as when a player didn't play a lot because of injuries in the year). I did something coding to generate(predict) the ranking of 2024-2026 and then manually change the rank of each players in 2024.
- every player in player.ini file exists in reality.
- I try to include each player whose highest ranking is within top 500. thus over 1500 players each year in the game. the game only can have 512 tournaments in the tour, so the itf/future tour is far less compared to reality which causes the number of low-rank players is too much. I have to add random offtime to players beyond top300 each year.
Outfits
- players will change outfits automatically during the game, depending on the year and tournament they're on. (only 2005-2024)
- added around 1000 outfits and a few cuff, hats, shoes. (it's too much work to sort out every outfit I made and share here)
- I try to make a least 1 outfit for a top100 player that year and outfits of each grandslam for top15(ish) player that year. since we already have most of the outfits from around 2013 to now, I mostly made the outfits of early years and some outfits we don't have in recent years.
(the player.ini file is around 9MB after adding the change outfits automatically thing. actually it took me more than 6 months to making outfits, faces and putting them in player.ini)
2005
2008
2011
2014
2017
2020
2024
NextGens
Faces
- over 1400 faces. most faces I made already posted in the other thread.
- some players will have different faces during their career (younger one and older one)
- I made some faces of celebrities other than tennis players(some of them are athletes from other sports) as fillers for low-ranking players who don't have their specific faces. normally they won't be in any tour-level tournaments, but you may see them in challenger/itf tour.
Grunts
- the tour sound now starts at sound251 in sound.ini so we can have 202 grunts in the game. I only put 195 grunts so there still are 7 slots to be added. (basesoundnum in each court.ini already edited)
Tours
- I didn't do much on that. It's just a mix of 2019-2023. (I mostly focus on the player.ini)
- tour-level tournaments have different courts/version in the CourtXX folder, but need to be replaced manually.
- add next-gen finals. what I did is adding offtime to prevent high-ranking older players from playing this tournament. the only problem is if you own player's ranking is high enough (but not high enough for WTF), you'll be forced to play NGF even if you're older than 21 because it's a master cup. (also only during 2005-2024 the attendants would be similar enough to reality)
- change the challengers in the week before a slam to exclude top300 players, so more of them can play the qualifying of the slam.
Menu
- some new icons made
- changed some font colors. (seed-number/Q/WC have different font colors in the draw)
- change the name of players to lowercase, so some of the scoreboard is able to show it in lowercase(like ATP250 scoreboard)
Others
- I encountered "no memory left" error, so I reduce the size of texture files (including pretty much everything in Textures folder / courts / art in Menu folder). I still have the problem sometimes but normally restarting the game will fix it.
