Video: Importing Textures with the Mod Tool

[Lunatic Wolf]

hit export res to export a texture

Sorry still can't get it.
what I did is:

click OPEN > look for nbaball.iff > click ExportRes (nothing happens)

You have to select the res you want to export.

open nbaball.iff
Select the number 0
Click exportres

That will export the file as a .dds which you can put into gimp or photoshop

Great tutorial. Would you happen to know how to create the green texture with the nvidia normalmap plugin?

Sorry. You will have to ask one of the texture editors.

@Lunatic Wolf Sir, I figured it out, I installed .dds plug in for GIMP first so that I can open dds file in my gimp. I just want to practice first changing the ball. Can you tell me what should I be needed? Do i need to provide a picture of a ball that I want to apply?If YES, what format is it?Jpeg?PNG?
I tried png file of a ball. When I open the nbaball.dds I saw 2 picture of layout of the ball with SPALDING on its name. I really don't know what I've done there. lol.

Edit: I think I need to export dds:0 to dds:3 too. Am I right?

You will need to DDS0 and 3 yes, but you will need to replace the normal maps [DDS2 and 4] with updated ones after you make your changes.

It doesn't matter what format picture you put into gimp.

i tried to edit a court and when i open a file (eg f002.iff) it says "File is compress, decompress it now?" i click yes but then it gives me an error. I can only open up the ones that had already been modified, so anyone help?

I don't know. Try sending a PM to Ricoy or Kaaba and see if they can help you

Try to download IFF Editor and decompress f002.iff there. http://nba-2k.com/iff-editor/ You can find it here

This was great can you make one on how to edit cf or blender ? i know they have one already but yours are for simple minded people like me ! thanks i like your way of talking clear so we can understand

[marvs]

help.. i followed the steps but when i opened the .jar file [r.click - open with java(TM) platform binary] a small dos window opened up and closed immediately..
i want to try this.. thanks..

i tried re-installing java.. when i ran the .jar file -> Could not find the main class: C:/.......

FINALLY! got this thing to work!

Try starting it via command prompt.

java -jar "(locationofjarfilesuchas)C:/Users/LunaticWolf/Modtool.jar"

Tried that after doing the registry fix even with administrator privileges but I get the same error. Are you using 64 bit XP or Windows 7?

Windows 7.

Go into your registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.jar The value should read jarfile
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/jarfile should read Executable Jar File
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/jarfile/shell/open/command should read "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %*

THANKS Lunatic_Wolf!!!

[ukrainik]

Guys sorry for a newb question but can someone walk me through how to open a .jar file in windows 7 including any download program that I need. Because whe I click open with Java does not show as an option

[ukrainik]

Never mind found it C:\Program files\java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe

[ukrainik]

Does this tool work to replace shoes? If so is there an iff map for Jordan shoes?

[shadowgrin]

This thread deserves a beer.

[AIftw]

Hey guys; I'm attempting to edit the titlepage.iff, I can only export one of the files as a DDS. The other two files (which I'm assuming is the Michael Jordan texture I want to edit) gives me no option in the "subfolder" tab to export as DDS. I installed the updates in the correct order; the program seems to run fine, but there are many files that I don't seem to be able to export. Any ideas? (Man, I wish IFF editor would be compatible with 64-bit OS..)

Any assistance is much appreciated, thank you!

[JaoSming]

select the "2=1198347997" then there will be 7 DDS files you can export and import fine from the Subfile

the other parts under the titlepage.iff are models, not textures

[AIftw]

Oh my goodness, I didn't even bother to try selecting the other DDS files. Thank you very much, JaoSming! I owe you one.

Edit: Actually, everyone owes you a lot on these forums. lol - thanks again.
