Ah, it looks like I didn't copy one of the menu UI files over, I'll get this updated for the next release. I need to do some proper testing for the next release anyway as it should be the final version.

G'day. Australian Super Rugby teams have now been completed and added to Github:
That means every club featured in ama1's TRF24 mod has been updated. Some international teams have yet to be done, but should be easy to make as most are still using copies of their RWC23 kits. I will see if I can get those done, then make a final all-in-one release of my stuff.

Love your work @jim546
Hi, i trust that you are well. i have a few requests since i cannot seen to figure it out myself. I would like a few changes regarding some players. mo'unga animation for goal kicking should go to mckenzie as well as his star. sexton star and animation should go to jack crawley. ramos from france should get mortlock's animation for kicking and pollard should get pretorious's animation for goal kicking too please. regarding WL can you please make adjustments so we can select players that are not based in clubs that are in the game like mo'unga , aaron smith and co. @jim546 . N. Lolesio should get yachvili's animation for goalkicking. I trust that you will be able to make these changes as requested. thank you in advance champ.
You can dowload Woosah's roster editor and make all this changes by yourself

Happy New Year. I've updated Github with an all-in-one release of the files I've made for the 2023-24 season, I've seen some people have had issues downloading the previous files so maybe the new release might work better.
This release contains kits for all club teams, along with RWC 2023, the 6N/TRC teams plus a couple of other international teams I was able to do for 23/24.
I'm not planning on doing any further modding for Rugby 08 at the moment, I'm a bit burned-out with it all, but who knows what the future may hold for this or any other Rugby games out there.

Also as a side-project I was working on a method to auto-import/export Rosters/RDF's into Ama1's Excel sheets. I've made the following Macros that can generate an .rdf/.ros file from the Excel doc:
Tested the above and it's working correctly as far as I can tell. To use this you'd need to save the Excel sheet as a .xlsm file, and use the Developer tab to insert macro buttons and macro code. I haven't tried coding how to import a .rdf file yet.
Sub NewRDF()
maxrows = Sheets("New RDF").UsedRange.Rows.Count
hexval = Sheets("New RDF").Range("a1:cv" & maxrows).Value
Dim handle As Long
handle = FreeFile
Open Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\73cb47d1d69c90f28fd1cc4186ac1926.rdf" For Binary As #handle
Dim j As Long
Dim i As Long
For j = 1 To maxrows
For i = 1 To 100
If hexval(j, i) <> vbNullString Then
Put #handle, , CByte("&H" & hexval(j, i))
End If
Next i
Next j
Close #handle
End Sub
Sub NewRos()
maxrows = Sheets("New Ros").UsedRange.Rows.Count
hexval = Sheets("New Ros").Range("a1:cv" & maxrows).Value
Dim handle As Long
handle = FreeFile
Open Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Roster1.ros" For Binary As #handle
Dim j As Long
Dim i As Long
For j = 1 To maxrows
For i = 1 To 100
If hexval(j, i) <> vbNullString Then
Put #handle, , CByte("&H" & hexval(j, i))
End If
Next i
Next j
Close #handle

maxrows = Sheets("New RDF").UsedRange.Rows.Count
hexval = Sheets("New RDF").Range("a1:cv" & maxrows).Value

Hello all. Just a small update that will hit Github at some point. I've gone through some player faces and stadium files looking to optimise everything to try and eliminate crashes due to file/memory issues.
I'm now able to pass the basic tests I have for these crashes, the most notable was Ireland v NZ at any big stadium would always crash, turns out a lot of the NZ heads were ridiculously large in file size. All the faces have been uploaded but not packed into a release yet.
I'm not coming back to modding kits/faces/stadiums full-time as it simply takes too long to do by myself. I may however do stuff here and there for big tournaments or special occasions, such as:
This is also on Github and can be downloaded here using the green Code button: https://github.com/jimw546/jimw546-s-Rugby-08-stuff

hi jim, thanks alot for the work. Yes NZ always seem to crash when i try to play with them, not just against ireland. Also, i dont know what you are planning on doing and if you are going to make the new kits (SA, Jap, Fra ex.), but if you are and you have a little spare time, can you add the cheetahs in moana pacificas place with updated kit and players from the challenge cups last season and also the aunz inv XV that played the lions. Would totally understand if its to much to ask for. Love the work and im grateful as always.

I've been tinkering with the Excel Roster maker in my spare time and have put together the attached file. I'm not much of a programmer but I've wanted a way to import/export roster files automatically instead of using extra software. I've been able to do this using Excel Macros. Using buttons in the Excel file to run these macros you can import a roster file to Excel, or generate a roster file or rdf file for World League from Excel.
As an example, I've used this functionality plus some other sheets I've added to create a B&I Lions lineup for the 2025 mod:
A word of caution though, macros are nowadays considered a "security risk" so they may not work without enabling some functionality on your end.

Love your work. This is great...it will make it so much easier for those who want to create their own mods.
