KitServer 2 is a "companion" program made by Juce for Pro Evolution Soccer 3 and Winning Eleven 7 International. It enhances the "Strip Selection" menu of the game by allowing to select additional uniforms for Home and Away teams (both player and goalkeeper kits), and adds ball selection as well. Configurable hot-keys are used to trigger selections.
This is almost a complete re-write of the KitServer. It now has a different architecture, where you have to install it as a plug-in for the game, unlike in earlier (1.x) versions when you had to keep the kserv.exe running together with the game so that it could hook on it.
The new architecture has several advantages:
1. Requires less resources, because no windows hooking is needed.
2. The game itself loads KitServer on startup, and unloads on exit, so no need for manual start of kserv.exe (in fact, there is no kserv.exe anymore)
3. Compatibility mode problems, which i believe were caused by the need to do run-time hooking, should be resolved now.
The following features are also new in this release:
- Ball selection (You can select from any number of balls from KDB)
- Goalkeeper kit selection (KDB now contains goalkeeper kits as well)
- Text labels for all selectable items for easy identification. (For example, some teams use the "European" kits, which look identical from the front, but are different at the back. Text label identifies exactly which kit file is currently in use.)
