Kitserver: a Lua module for Sider 6 and PES 2020


If you are old enough, you may remember that the very first Kitserver (for PES 3) was a small program that allowed the game to load alternative kits (3rd, 4th, European, etc.). It was initially released in 2003. Over the next few years, Kitserver had grown into a more generic tool - very similar to what sider is now, but the original name stuck to it.

This sider module, written in Lua, is a new take on that original idea of Kitserver. It allows a lot of freedom in managing kits (uniforms), and also makes it very simple for anyone to draw their own kit and add it to an existing collection. This overall hierarchy of kits - we call it “GDB” (again an old name, which some of you might recognize) - is really just a way to organize kits into folders with a structure that hopefully makes sense and is simple enough to navigate.

Kitserver is brought to you by a team of people:
zlac, Hawke, Cesc Fabregas, mota10, Nemanja, juce.

We have also used the information and reverse-engineering efforts of many folks over the last couple of years that helped to understand the format of UniformParameter.bin and other related files. So... without further ado:


DOWNLOAD:

Kitserver 2020 v1.6 
https://mapote.com/pes/kitserver-sider-module/kserv-2020-1.6.7z

Go on, download, and give it a try. The archive includes two sample kit collections: for Arsenal and Chelsea, prepared for you by our kit masters: @Hawke, @Nemanja, and @Cesc Fabregas. There is work in progress also right now to create more kit collections - for a lot more teams.

Installation is easy:

1. Unpack the archive and copy the content and modules folders into your sider.
2. Modify your sider.ini and add kserv.lua to the list of Lua modules:
lua.module = "kserv.lua"

Kitserver allows you to have:

unlimited kits for players and goalkeepers (for licensed teams only, right now)
visual reference in the pre-match menu: you see your selected kits, and you can also switch between "Player" and "Goalkeeper" mode
in Edit mode, Kitserver provides a simple but powerful "Editor" of all supported attributes of a kit. So you can fine-tune the exact position of the number on shorts, or size of the number on the back, etc. ( Many thanks to @zlac - author of the Editor! )
support for CompKits (competition kits), where Kitserver will load competition-specific kits if they are specified for a given team for the current competition.
