PES 2019 Kit Studio 1.1.1

Features from older versions:

• Supports only PC files – console files are NOT supported directly (use multi-converter to convert your files from/to console formats)
• kits per team configuration
• kit types – normal, GK, CL (still available to choose, but won’t work in-game, due to removal of licensed Champions League mode)
• kit icons
• kit colors (for kit selection menu, etc.)
• add/remove kits to team (up to 10 kits per team)
• conversion of unlicensed team entries to licensed (to enable CL kits)
• ability to delete unwanted unlicensed team entries (e.g. duplicated teams)
• ability to add new team entries (e.g. for extra teams that you already created by yourself in Team.bin)
• ability to delete licensed team entries via popup menu
• saved .bin files are always zlib-compressed
• improved team filtering by name – filter boxes now accept all characters (interpunction, characters with umlauts, carets, etc.)
• filters accept team Id’s and team names
• hex color-codes displayed in color pickers
• export/import of individual licensed team entries via popup menu
• mass csv export/import for all teams
• colored mini-kit icons preview (based on PES 2015 kit icons – may not be 100% accurate for PES 2019)
• ability to unlicense licensed team entries (two options – unlicensing of the unicolor entry only or unlicensing in both unicolor.bin and team.bin file) via pop-up menu
• realUni .bin config files editing
• synchronization of kit references between UniColor.bin and EDIT00000000 (from Unicolor to EDIT only) – semi-experimental option that may (or may not) solve the problems that appear when changes to kit distribution in UniColor do not show in-game because the game (i.e. community patches) is already using EDIT00000000 file with different kit distribution.
• ability to delete kits stored in EDIT00000000, that were created in Edit mode (two options – deletion of all edit mode kits per individual licensed team (on ‘Licensed UniColor entries’ tab) and global deletion of each and every edit mode kit available (on ‘Misc’ tab)) – another semi-experimental feature which may or may not solve the problems that appear because data in UniColor and EDIT00000000 are not ideally synchronized.

New features in 2019 version:

• Completely reworked Open/Save files work-flow – see the subsequent “Really, really, read me carefully” section ;)
• Fully automated UniformParameter.bin file handling
• On File > Open, all kit config .bin files are automatically extracted from UniformParameter.bin
• On File > Save, but only if you had modified at least one kit config .bin file, all the kit config .bin files are automatically re-built into a new UniformParameter.bin
• Kits preview option – enabled again, .ftex format is not an obstacle any more
• zoom in/out slider added
• Kits config options
• Several parameters are more accurate than before – Chest number X position, all X positions of sleeve patches (thanks to @shawminator and the 2019 beta-test crew: @Hawke, @mota10, @Lucas RK, @Cesc Fabregas)
• Several sleeve patch presets for the most common kit brands (Nike, Adidas, …) added – faster sleeve patches initial setting (thanks @mota10)
• All the unknown values are now also available for experimenting (thanks to @shawminator)
• “Import” button added – overwrites currently active kit config file with the contents of another kit config file

Really, really, read me carefully … yes, even you, grizzled veteran!
New Open/Save work-flow

• – Opening procedure has been simplified, so that you are not required to select many files manually every time you hit File > Open
• – Kit Studio now opens all the necessary files (Team.bin, Team4.bin, UniColor.bin, UniformParameter.bin, EDIT00000000) automatically when selecting File > Open, but it expects those files to be in certain locations
• – BEFORE you even consider selecting File > Open, go to File > Settings… and select so called Global Root folder – the folder which contains all extracted files and folders that Kit Studio needs

When saving, you won’t be asked anything – files that need to be saved will automatically be saved in their appropriate locations, zlibbed as usual, but using their ORIGINAL names (Team.bin, UniColor.bin, EDIT00000000 etc. – no more zlib_Team.bin etc. that have to be renamed manually)

• – Pay attention to the location of EDIT00000000 file – see the image above!

Why are initial kit config bins optional?

• – Kit config bins will be automatically extracted from UniformParameter.bin every time you open files with Kit Studio and will be placed in their proper locations (teamID subfolders under the common/character0/model/character/uniform/team folder in your global root folder).
• – So why would anyone still want to extract them manually from .cpk files? Because Konami sometimes does not include all externally available kit config .bins in UniformParameter.bin file – you might actually miss some config .bins

What files do I need to use …

For compatibility with the game which does not use data packs:

• – Team.bin and Team4.bin from dt10_x64.cpk (common/etc/pesdb)
• – UniColor.bin and UniformParameter.bin from dt34_g4.cpk (common/character0/model/character/uniform/team)
• – [OPTIONAL] all kit config .bin files from dt34_g4.cpk (contents of every teamID and referee subfolder from common/character0/model/character/uniform/team)
• – [OPTIONAL] all kit textures .ftex files from dt34_g4.cpk (Asset/model/character/uniform/texture/#windx11)
• – EDIT00000000 file – from your current patch, private edits, etc. – go to edit mode and let the game create one, if there isn’t any in your mydocs\save folder

For compatibility with the game which uses Data pack 1 (with DP1 fix):

• – Team.bin and Team4.bin from dt80_100E_x64.cpk (common/etc/pesdb)
• – Unicolor.bin and UniformParameter.bin from dt80_101E_x64.cpk (common/character0/model/character/uniform/team)
• – [OPTIONAL] all kit config .bin files from

a) dt34_g4.cpk (contents of every teamID and referee subfolder from common/character0/model/character/uniform/team), then overwrite with
b) dt80_100E_x64.cpk (contents of every teamID and referee subfolder from common/character0/model/character/uniform/team)
b) dt80_101E_x64.cpk (contents of every teamID and referee subfolder from common/character0/model/character/uniform/team)

• – [OPTIONAL] all kit textures .ftex files from

a) dt34_g4.cpk (Asset/model/character/uniform/texture/#windx11), then overwrite with
b) dt80_100E_x64.cpk (Asset/model/character/uniform/texture/#windx11), then overwrite with
c) dt80_101E_x64.cpk (Asset/model/character/uniform/texture/#windx11), then overwrite with
– EDIT00000000 file – from your current patch, private edits, etc. – go to edit mode and let the game create one, if there isn’t any in your mydocs\save folder

CSV Export/Import F.A.Q. – PLEASE, READ CAREFULLY BEFORE COMPLAINING!

Data import rules, in case you want to edit exported csv contents by yourself before importing it to another UniColor file:
1. If you want to change Team IDs or add new lines with completely new Team IDs, make sure that teams with changed/new IDs already exist in your Team.bin/Team4.bin files. It is not allowed to import unicolor entries for non-existing teams (a.k.a. Ghosts).
2. Certain data must be written in hex (see header line) – kit type and RGB color codes. Other data is either required as text (team names) or decimal numbers (everything else).
3. Team names in csv are completely irrelevant when importing – they are displayed in csv only as a convenience and are ignored during import. Accurate Team IDs are important.
4. You cannot have more than 10 entries per team (limitation imposed by Konami).
5. It is allowed to have less than 10 entries per team in csv when importing – import routines will automatically generate missing entries as ‘Unused’ slots with white kits
6. To avoid data corruption in UniColor.bin, contents of csv file are being thoroughly validated before any actual import takes place – any irregularity in your csv will result in cancelled import. Log file with all identified irregularities will be generated. You need to fix all irregularities before trying to import again.
7. Csv files must use semi-colon character ( ; ) as a separator – sorry Yanks, I won’t support other characters :) Notepad is your friend – CTRL+H -> Replace All instances of , with ; and save using UTF-8 encoding.
8. Always save csv file using UTF-8 text encoding.

Re- Ghost team entries:

As usual, Konami has left many ghost team entries in default UniColor.bin – teams that exist only in UniColor.bin file. It is advisable to delete such entries by yourself – either before exporting to csv or later in exported csv file. Trying to import csv data that contains references to those teams may cause failures during import – so you’ll end-up deleting them in csv file sooner or later anyway.

Q: How does Export work?
A: Simple – you choose file name and full contents of your UniColor.bin will be exported to a single .csv file

Q: Is it possible to perform partial export?
A: No. Full export only. Use any spreadsheet software capable of csv editing to delete or filter-out unwanted entries from exported csv file.

Q: IMPORTANT: What’s the difference between Full and Partial import?
A:
– Full import deletes (drops) all the current contents of your UniColor.bin and effectively performs import from csv file into a blank UniColor.bin – you’ll end-up with UniColor.bin having only entries from csv file you used for import. Use with caution!
– Partial import doesn’t discard existing contents of your UniColor.bin file – it uses existing UniColor content as a baseline to:
a) update team entries with data from csv – for teams that already exist in your UniColor.bin, or
b) add new team entries with data from csv – for teams that do not exist in your UniColor.bin yet (but they MUST exist in your Team.bin-Team6.bin files)

Q: Is there a GUI option to select which teams are going to be imported during Partial import?
A: No. Partiality of import is governed by csv content. Import routines (either Partial or Full) always import entire contents of selected csv file – it is up to you to decide how many teams you want to keep in csv file used for importing.

Q: So, how do I import csv data for just a few teams?
A: Use spreadsheet editing software to create new csv file that contains only entries for teams you wish to update. Then perform Partial import using your new csv file.

Q: I keep getting the message box saying that “Import is cancelled because CSV file contains invalid data.” – What should I do?
A: Inspect thoroughly csvimporterrors_log.txt file that will be created alongside Kit Studio.exe. You must fix all errors reported in log file to be able to import from your csv.

Requirements:
.Net Framework 4.0
