[Tool] Keep My Mod v0.3 (NEW! 2K's Updates + Your Mods)

[tjangel07]

Yeah, Keep My Mod works irrelevant of any mod or game version you may have.

The courts normalizer only works when NBA 2K12 is not open.

Keep My Mod only functions when you start the game through it right?

I think they conflict with each other.

[Leftos]

No, Keep My Mod doesn't really need you to start the game through it. As long as you open it before getting into a game that requires you to keep a mod (for example playing at the Pistons or the Raptors home court) and making sure it says it kept the mods, you're okay.

Again, make sure you click on Restore Online Data Backup before quitting a game to go back to the menus.

If you forget to do that and the game starts resyncing and you can't wait the 10-15 minutes, just exit the game and restart it, you'll avoid the resync.

P.S. Besides, the Court Logos Normalizer is just a tool that temporarily sets your Regional Settings to "English (United States)". I have mine set to that permanently through the Control Panel so I don't need to use the Normalizer.

Oh okay. Thanks bro. You have done a lot for the community

Any news from Data Online?
2K fixed files?

Actually i work on roster (RR3) and i play with DATA ONLINE 28 february (i deleted latest data online) without internet connection.

[Leftos]

Yeah, 2K is now feeding us PC files again, it's safe to let NBA 2K12 connect.

[daninoz]

Hey Leftos, can you make a tool that only update the downloads.mnf file? Because I have my own way to organiza patchs files, and is a pain in the ass when I have to edit manually that file.

[Leftos]

Well, I guess I could, but what are you doing exactly that Keep My Mod can't help you with? No offense, I'm betting it's something legitimately useful, I just want to know what it is and why you don't use Keep My Mod so that I can maybe improve it.

But still, I could add an "Advanced Users Only" feature in Keep My Mod that allows you to just edit the downloads.mnf file. We haven't decoded everything, mind you, so you'll only be able to change what Keep My Mod changes, namely the file size and CRC of each file ALREADY in the downloads.mnf file. Other stuff like changing filenames, adding or removing files from it aren't supported yet.

[daninoz]

The thing is that I don't want to use any tool to run the game. If you don't want to do it, don't worry. Everyday is more easy to modify the downloads.mnf file.

And about this:

Other stuff like changing filenames, adding or removing files from it aren't supported yet.

I found the way to remove files. You just have to delete from the beginning of the 4 bytes that are the size of the file, to the last byte before the size of the next file. And then change the third group of 4 bytes, which is the number of files in the downloads folder minus 1 (the downloads.mnf file itself). Then you have to recalculte the CRC in of all the downloads.mnf file and change it in the first 4 bytes.

For the adding, I'm not sure. But I think is pretty much the same. The same with the rename.

I don't know if everyone notice this, but with the new patch, the game always load the default roster, even if you have a modded roster. For example, in my saves folder I only have the Albys roster, but with the patch now I have to load this Roster before start a game.

I found a way to avoid this. I just delete some bytes of the roster.iff file in the downloads folder. And after edit the downloads.mnf file. The game detect that the roster.off file is corrupted and instead of load that file, it load the roster in the saves folder.

quick question, is this compatible with the JSGME? Coz I use it for my mods.. Thanks!

[Leftos]

Yeah, doesn't matter really whatever else you use. Keep My Mod always replaces 2K's updates with the files being in the installation folder when you click "Force Keep My Mods".

[anastasis16]

Help me again please.. the tool doesn't work for removing/modding these rookie, rookie.cdf, rookie2, rookie2.cdf files. Why can't I remove the ones that don't have the modded files? thx..

[Leftos]

Oh yeah, thought they had updated those. Well, I haven't added any "remove" functionality yet, but with solovoy's instructions I shall add this soon, k?

[J.Davey]

Leftos, is it possible use this "Keep my Mod" with Vl@d Zola's Court Logos Normalizer .exe?

EDIT

I think I found the answer, if needs help I come back here

[Leftos]

I've answered that again, you should have no trouble using it. You can start the game via the Normalizer, then start Keep My Mod right before you get into the game you want your mods kept (such as a game played at the Pistons court or at the Raptors one).

[homicide1550]

hey buddy, any update regarding the "remove mod" option?

[Leftos]

Not yet. Going through a vacation period right now, but I will be back to modding soon.

[homicide1550]

Oh I see! Enjoy your vacation man!

[Leftos]

Haven't had such an error occur to me yet, nor can I reproduce it. Is it consistent? Does it happen every time?

[wehomehk]

when i started the game, it occurred everytime..
and show such a message


there is no problem when i was using v0.2..

[Leftos]

Hmm. Well I really can't reproduce the problem on my system. From what I understand it can't find the downloads directory for some reason. Have you tried starting Keep My Mod and then starting NBA 2K12 from inside the tool using the Start Game button? See if that makes a difference.
