[P] JoeJames is back! -Heat new Rev30 mesh more previews-

by **JoeJames** on Sun Oct 14, 2012 3:17 pm

Well guys I´m back to upload my work.

This year I have less time to modding, but I still doing my works for you... but this year won't be the same thing, 2k13 will have, I think, the closest Rev 30 mesh with smaller dots, new drawing and also more details some "taken" (I took his idea and I created it from zero in my files) from Tha King. So here is the first preview, the 2012 NBA Champs

Love your work man! Glad to see you back for 2k13! (Y)

by **Iasounis** on Tue Oct 16, 2012 6:40 am

Thank you for returning. Not sure if I posted a 'Thank You' for your work in the past, but if I have not, Thank You. Not only do I always your jerseys, but I point people toward them when the question of 'Who does the best jerseys?' comes up on any forum. Thanks again, and looking forward to your jerseys.

One question... Is it possible to change the neckline on the Nets jerseys, or is a 2K update required for a template to be made?

by **Jhiane** on Wed Oct 17, 2012 5:50 pm

too red for me (Y)

Welcome back bro

I am glad to see U back ! The jerseys in the official releases of NBA 2k get worse from year to year... Too bad for such a great game...

Its something that 2k has to fix (or maybe someone who can edit the Roster file, the place where the jersey's neck style are).

Don´t worry I'm still doing the right color (by the way, Jhiane now I think you won´t complain about dots sizes right?) but remember I won't match another user's color, I'll try to match it with HD pictures or videos of National TV games.

Thats right, Vik7or that's a really shame.

One question. I used medium settings for players, and for 2k13 is only low or high. I can't use high (and even if I could I wouldn´t ), and when I'm doing my tries of color... I saw something that bugs me. The question is, somebody else (using That King or another uniform files) on Low settings in game doesn't see the changes of the uniform and only on close ups is where you see it and even more, in game you see that there is a distortion of color?

by **Jhiane** on Thu Oct 18, 2012 1:34 pm

yeah i know you'll do your own dots. can you make your player detail high just for the preview? so we can see the detail more clearly.

maybe this will help, don't mind the crappy game

by **JoeJames** on Thu Oct 18, 2012 1:41 pm

Maybe, for the last previews

This is the right color for you?

Everything looks good... but in game :evil:

(look RayRay and the bench)

I don't know what is causing that bug

Photoshop hue/saturation
357/85/+3

thats becous of the dds layering... i make the UJP this year and ofc i seen that too so dont panic just use some nearby or closer camera type... thats the only thing u can do... i tryd with 2 diffrent type of dds X5 textures... the bug still remains.... so ... simply change the camera to closer one...

YouTube · by **sasha104** on Thu Oct 18, 2012 10:09 pm

dunno if you've seen nlsc tutorial on making jerseys, but there is a good lesson how to work with alpha channels, i think it can help you. if you work in PS try to make mipmaps with NVIDIA MIPSter (this script installs with nvidia dds tool) it helped me with loosing quality while viewing from distance.
contact me via PM, i'll be happy to do any help and work on betas))

p.s. welcome back

by **wtferrell** on Thu Oct 18, 2012 11:33 pm

It's the Mip Maps... It's not generating them correctly. I encountered this last year, now I'm trying to remember how I corrected it. It's something to do with generating mip maps though.

did you use mipster? or just generated mipmaps in nvidia tool when saved?

by **wtferrell** on Thu Oct 18, 2012 11:44 pm

I think you need to generate the mipmaps when saved. I don't recall what I did, I just know that it was the mipmap that was the problem.

EDIT: JoeJames, if you want to send the file over to me, I may be able to solve the problem?

by **Mutiny** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 6:55 am

Glad to see you back, i have yet to download a jersey mod and would just wait for you rather than downloading other modder's jersey. Good luck and hope you Finish this early :]

by **Iasounis** on Wed Nov 21, 2012 4:02 pm

Just bumping to let JoeJames know his fans are waiting patiently. (At last as patiently as they can.)

by **Bliss** on Thu Nov 22, 2012 3:26 am

Waiting...waiting...

by **Uncle Drew** on Fri Nov 23, 2012 2:40 am

Hey Joe, can you add the 25th anniversary logo to the Heat jerseys?

by **JoeJames** on Tue Jan 01, 2013 2:16 pm

This game is a mess.

I still can't see the changes without any bug... I give up, I think I won´t make patches this year (unless somebody make a tool for uniforms)

by **chicagoRAW** on Tue Jan 01, 2013 4:13 pm

What problems are you having? IamLilliard and Tha King have been making great jerseys, you can ask them.

by **Like A Boss** on Tue Jan 01, 2013 5:51 pm

Good News!!! I fixed the bug in the jersey

Previews later.

Ok but with the 2k12 decompressor or with the modtool?

Wich version of mod tool? because the one that I have, shows me jersey textures like a bug :S

look

by **maumau78** on Wed Jan 02, 2013 6:19 am

He did just use it to decompress then He used the 3DM for export/import...

Weird, I did that also... and I had the same problematic result.

I think my laptop doesn't want to make more patches, xD

______________________________________________________________

Well as I said, I give up, this game doesn't want to be change by me.
See ya, maybe on 2k14 (but all this stuff of online verification of the files, I don't know if modding has a solid future)

by **maumau78** on Sun Jan 13, 2013 2:51 am

JoeJames this is the correct and tested procedure for importing old jersey into 2k13 with correct mip-maps:

- open the 2k12 jersey file with the modtool just to decompress the file
- open it again with 3DM4.83
- extract the DDS DTX5 textures for jersey and shorts
- open them in Adobe Photoshop

then for every texture
- File->Script->Nvidia Mipster....just press okay...the script will generate textures with mipmaps
- Save the textures as DTX5 maps and remember to check "use existing Mimp Maps" that we've generated previously....
- Import Back the textures with the 3DM4.83 and save them

Done!

I've tested it and it works like a charm...previously I had the same problems as you.....hope it helps....
