Create a map_comp.txt inside the team folder. For example, to force a special Champions League kit:
comp = "UEFA Champions League", "pb"

At its core, Kit Server (often abbreviated as Kitserver) is an external add-on module created by the legendary modder Juce. It allows users to bypass the game’s native limitations regarding kits, faces, stadiums, and balls. The specific version, 13.0.0.1, refers to the final stable release built exclusively for PES 2013 (version 1.04 patch). PES 2013 Kit Server 13.0.0.1
Without Kit Server, adding a new kit requires manually importing textures into the game’s .img files—a tedious, error-prone process that often overwrites existing data. With Kit Server 13.0.0.1, you can simply drag and drop kit PNG files and a configuration text file into a folder. The server “attaches” these assets to the game during launch without modifying the original game data.
Version 13.0.0.1 is notable for its stability. In the world of PC modding, tools often crash or conflict with different game versions. However, this version was remarkably robust.

| Feature | Kit Server 13.0.0.1 | Manual Import (FileLoader) | PES 2013 Patches (e.g., Smoke) | |---------|----------------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------| | Ease of installation | Very easy (drag & drop) | Hard (needs GGS/afs explorer) | Moderate (one-click exe) | | Kit quality | Up to 4K | Limited to 512px | Varies (often 1024px) | | Switching kits in-game | Yes (instant) | No (requires rebooting) | Sometimes | | Conflict with other mods | Low | High (overwrites files) | Medium (depends on patch) | | Freedom to mix eras | Yes (per team, per match) | No | No |
Verdict: Kit Server is the best choice for pure kit management. Use it alongside a gameplay patch (like Yair or Jenkey) for the ultimate PES 2013 experience.
