I tried using the auto U1, V1 etc method to create a 2d court but they look completely misaligned. The bottom right and top left corner look correct because those are the u1,v1,u2,v2 values but everything else looks wrong. What can I do ?

I was about to post something here related to this when I saw your post, so if you don't mind I'll try to contribute and ask a complementary question to Manu on your thread.

Manu will be able to say for sure, but I believe it's related to camera positioning in the original broadcast. Notice that the distance from the image's margin to the court's line is bigger on the left than on the right. In my experience, that's when these things happen. The problem is it's hard to adjust such images.

So I leave my related question to Manu: is there some way to adjust the game's camera position in 2D to counter this? Something that specifies that the camera is not exactly at the center of the screen.

Thanks!

There is a way to manually change the camera, you have to enable devmode =1, then find the camera movement shortcutsfor your keyboard in the Controls menu and go from there. The problem is that this takes several hours for a single court and sometimes it just doesn't seem possible. I think the real solution would be, instead of the Stadium.ini only requiring the coordinates for 2/4 corners, it should need all 4 court corners to create the camera for the 2d court. That way it should always align.

But maybe there's just something else I'm doing wrong, I'll wait for Manu's response

The court needs to be centered, else it won't work, there's no other possibility.

So cut a side (or add something on the side with AI ?) to make the center line in the center of the image.
