Larvae's Portraits | V4 PREVIEW! | V3 RELEASED!

[iamLillard]

Nice Updates man just keep it up we support u

[Wolverine]

Very great work, but i would like it even more if players wear neutral jerseys.

[anastasis16]

This would be the best portraits patch in 2K13 if you set the aspect ratio of the photos right. Some of the player photos seem to be a bit stretched, vertically-horizontally; for instance, Nick Young, Nate Robinson etc. Please fix this. But still, I have to appreciate the time you sacrificed for the community here. Thank you.

[Wolverine]

Also some players of san antonio are streched in horizontal, please fix this.

[Albys]

bro with slimm roster, with face of Larry Drew i have Pat Riley...change please

Also with my roster (RR 2.1) i have coach Atlanta Larry Drew with Pat Riley Faces...
Please fix...

[Wolverine]

Ive got a weird guy portrait on Teletovic, anybody else too?

Oops, not my fault anymore.. But sure, i'll go fix it.

Very great work, but i would like it even more if players wear neutral jerseys.

Well, if i wear them neutral jerseys... I'll have the same portraits as Daninoz's. I just left them as is for some originality or something.

Nice Updates man just keep it up we support u

Thank you dude.

1650 = Beverley... 1841 = Varnado.



I'll be uploading the request and fixes later guys.
Thanks for your support! I appreciate it very much.

[Wolverine]

Im using Albys 2.0, maybe Teletovic will be fixed in his RR 2.1 ?

[Larvae]

Wolverine, Yeah! Exactly, his 2.0 weren't compatible.

[Larvae]

VERSION 0.1d FIX RELEASED!

I fixed all the portraits that were over stretched horizontally or vertically as per request by many users. I also fixed Coach Larry Drew's portraits because his portraits was the face of Pat Riley... But not anymore.

Link is in the first post
Hope you'll like it, enjoy using it.
If there are anymore bugs or whatever just tell me.
Thank you!


EDIT: Mickael Gelabale is included in the previous pack and in this pack too. ONLY if you have Gelabale in your roster and has a CFID/PORTRAITID of 1390.
Although i haven't tried him yet. I don't have any roster that has Gelabale, i just accidentally added him in the update without me knowing that he is still isn't in my game.

[rookieboy2012]

your portrait size is DXT 5 512,512 !!!can it change to 256,256 ??????

[Larvae]

your portrait size is DXT 5 512,512 !!!can it change to 256,256 ??????

I can change it, but the tool im using won't be able to import the images.
If i change it to 256x256 i'll have to do the manual portrait patching by ModTool which would take me alot of time since i do bulk (in my first release) patching.
Why do you want it changed to 256x256 anyway?

[rookieboy2012]

thanks !! actually i try to make portrait by my self ,according to U put link !!!use MLB TIT tool ~~
But i do the same step by the video ~~it doesn't work !!! i tried to add some player without photo ~
when i finish it ~the photo didn't show in the portrait ~I have no idea which step is wrong ~
could U pionting some way???

[Larvae]

rookieboy2012, Are the png images 512x512? Did you decompress the portrait.ff first using ModTool? Have you changed the directory of the inside of mlb-thingy to where your png files are? You could also ask Daninoz about these stuffs.

[ryie]

THX FOR SHARING

[Larvae]

Youre welcome.

[TorianKel]

thanks for uploading in moddingway

Hey Larvae,

Great work on the portraits. Just had a few requests if you have time to update your ESPN smiling portraits.

Shelvin Mack - 76ers
Mike James - Mavericks
Aron Baynes - Spurs (Heard there may be a portrait for him somewhere in the iff file but don't think it is ESPN smiling portrait for the Spurs)
Mickael Gelabale - Timberwolves (I know you said you added him already but I haven't had time to check whether or not it was an ESPN smiling portrait for the Wolves)
Chris Johnson - Timberwolves
Chris Andersen - Heat
Jannero Pargo - Hawks
Chris Johnson - Grizzlies
Sam Young - Pacers (Not sure if his ESPN smiling portrait is already included or not from his previous time on the Pacers)

As well as the Cavaliers/Grizzlies trade (4 players):

Jon Leuer - Grizzlies
Josh Selby - Cavaliers
Wayne Ellington - Cavaliers
Marreese Speights - Cavaliers

Lastly, I was just wondering if you and Daninoz could possibly work together to create a master portrait file. I have downloaded your 0.1d fix and his 2.7 portrait files and compared them in the 3DM Mod Tool. You have all of the ESPN smiling portraits for current players, meanwhile he has portraits for all of the players on historic teams as well as for the ten extra teams on Med's Ultimate Roster (The roster which I currently use). Granted, the quality of some of Daninoz's portraits is not very good, but I imagine it is fairly difficult to find decent pictures for the players on some of the older historic teams. With that said, I also still find I enjoy seeing any type of picture of the player rather than just their cyberface. Even though they are not ESPN smiling portraits, I still prefer them over nothing.

Therefore, I was hoping that if you and him worked together, you could come up with a portrait file in which everyone has a portrait. Also, not sure if there is much out there, but if you could find better pictures for some of the historic players (maybe even smiling portraits for every historic player someday), that would really be great and would complement Med's Roster even better than any previous portrait file ever has!

Anyways, these changes would really enhance the NBA 2K13 experience for me and I would really appreciate it if you and Daninoz came up with a master portrait file as I have suggested. If not, then that's fine, but it gets tedious for me when I copy his historic portraits to your portrait file or your ESPN smiling portraits to his portrait file so I thought I would ask you guys and see if you had time to combine your files into one.

Looking forward to the next realease!!!

Thanks fo the heads up bro. My laptop has just been fixed thats why i wasnt able to make updates, but ill make em probably by the weekend.
About daninoz, im not so sure about that. It'll be nice but we have different styles, like i do ESPN kinda portraits and he does 2k style.

[Larvae]

Here's a preview of V2 of my Portrait Pack.

Includes:
Updated transactions (Rudy Gay Trade etc.)
Added Chris Johnson (Both from Wolves and Grizzlies)
Added Aron Baynes (Spurs)
Fixed colors for Sacramento, Atlanta, Detroit
Added some celebrities.
Fixed the sizes.

I still can't make it into a portrait.iff and .cdf because i couldn't open ModTool. Maybe because i don't a video card.
I couldn't install my video card. I dunno why. That's why i made this kind of preview.
Thoughts?

[lethal]

- Still no Greg Smith

NLSC Mirror is in the First Page
Moddingway Mirror, First page

Enjoy using them.
Feedbacks would be much appreciated

I can't make a in-game preview because my Fraps isn't working. It doesn't take screenshots.

[dam942]

Can you post the PortraitID for A. Baynes (Spurs) and M. Gelabale (Twolves), because with albys's rosters I don't see them?

[Larvae]

Can you post the PortraitID for A. Baynes (Spurs) and M. Gelabale (Twolves), because with albys's rosters I don't see them?

You don't see them because from the Alby's RR 2.1 that i have, Gelabale and Baynes isnt in their Rosters yet.

[MiamiThrice]

Larvae,

I don't mean to be a pain, but you didn't change Shelvin Mack's photo from the Wizards to the 76ers. Also, you didn't change Hamed Haddadi's photo from the Grizzlies to the Raptors.

I realize that Haddadi may not even end up playing for the Raptors but until we know that for sure, I would appreciate him with a Raptors jersey!

Also, I am not sure why you keep saying still no Greg Smith as I looked through your portrait file and you DO in fact already have an ESPN smiling portrait for Greg Smith in a Rockets jersey (and as far as I know he is still a part of the Houston Rockets team). Maybe I am misunderstanding you but it seemed to me like you were trying to say you did not have a portrait for him when in fact you already do.

Anyways, if you have time in the next few days, I would really appreciate it if you could change Shelvin Mack and Hamed Haddadi to their correct teams and realese an updated version of your portrait file.

Finally, I was wondering if you could also update the portraits of players who have been signed to ten day contracts which have since expired. This is not that big of a deal to me seeing as they are not actually going to be on a team right now (just in the FA list), but I just thought I would suggest it since you kinda did some of them already but not all of them. For example, you have Dominic McGuire in a Pacers jersey which is the last team he was on so his portrait is updated. However, a ten day contract player which has not been updated is Donald Sloan (he still is in a Cavaliers jersey when he actually last played for the New Orleans Hornets on a ten day contract). As I said before, this isn't a major issue for me and if you do not feel like doing it then that's okay, but I thought I would ask you at least. If you do decide to do this and need a list of all the ten day contract players who need their portraits updated I can post a list up on this forum so that none of them get missed.

At the very least though, could you please change Shelvin Mack and Hamed Haddadi!!!

Thanks, and keep up the great work!!!

[Nightfly67]

And once again Larry Drew's portrait is wrong (Using Alby's roster). This time he's some white guy.

[dam942]

It happens with the URB v. 5 roster too, and it has these players

[RedPhazon8]

Larvae, do you have have portraits for all the classic players that came with the game (mainly real player that had cyber face portraits)? Or are you still looking for them?

[Larvae]

Oh okay, im sorry. Im not updated much on the 10 day contracts since i am not able to have enough time to check.
I thought Haddadi was waived.
Greg Smith, i don't know about him. I don't know why his portrait doesn't appear in game.
Thanks for the heads up anyway

And once again Larry Drew's portrait is wrong (Using Alby's roster). This time he's some white guy.

Oh, okay. I'll fix it on the next update.

Can you post the PortraitID for A. Baynes (Spurs) and M. Gelabale (Twolves), because with albys's rosters I don't see them?

You don't see them because from the Alby's RR 2.1 that i have, Gelabale and Baynes isnt in their Rosters yet.

It happens with the URB v. 5 roster too, and it has these players

I haven't tried the latest URB. Maybe URB doesn't use the same Portrait/CF IDs from the universal thingy.
In Med's Roster, players like Baynes, Gelabale, Chris Johnson (Grizz and Wolves) have portraits.

[xerion]

Really great portraits man!

Just a question, could you replace Tayshaun Prince's photo? He really looks weird there.

Thank you!

Thats his official 2013 season Headshot. I'd probably stick with it.

[Albys]

very good work, Larvae, but fix these things:
1) again Drew (atlanta coach) missing.
2) Sam Young picture (Indiana) is stretched .
3) put Haddadi in raptors jersey
4) Gelabale is png1390.iff and ID portraits is the same. Baynes have ID portraits 4001 (both UBR and my roster)

I released RR3 in my thread.

[dam942]

albys, intanto prova 2534 per l'immagine di Baynes

Cooooool. Let's get it on, Larvae!

[MiamiThrice]

Hey Larvae,

Just thought I would let you know that I think I figured out why your Greg Smith is not showing up.

I was using the 3DM Mod Tool to compare your portrait file to the one by Daninoz and as it turns out, in your file the Greg Smith (Rockets) portrait has been placed in the slot where the portrait for the other Greg Smith should be. As I was flipping through the teams in my 2K13 game, I noticed that on one of the historic teams (I believe it is the 1971 Milwaukee Bucks but if not then one of the first few classic teams after the current Washington Wizards) there is a player named Greg Smith. I looked up the team just to make sure he was a real player and indeed there was a Greg Smith who played in the NBA previous to the one currently on the Rockets.

When I then checked the portrait file from Daninoz, he had the Greg Smith (Rockets) portrait in a different slot (one which I do not believe is present at the moment in your file) and as I noted above, the portrait for the old Greg Smith (the one on the historic/classic team) was in the slot where your Greg Smith (Rockets) portrait is in your file.

Therefore, I recommend that you take a look at the first few classic teams (specifically the '71 Bucks) and find the player named Greg Smith and if my guess is correct, your Greg Smith (Rockets) portrait will be for him.

In other words, it appears that you have completely wiped out the portrait for the old Greg Smith and replaced it with the one playing for the Rockets currently. So it looks like you need to add a slot in your file so that both Greg Smith's can have a portrait of their own!!!

I hope this helps you out!!!

Keep up the Great Work!!!!!

P.S. I just noticed that the 76ers signed Jeremy Pargo to a ten day contract so if you have time to release an ESPN smiling portrait for him on the Philadelphia 76ers that would be much appreciated!!!!!

I don't know, because his CF ID and PORTRAIT ID are the same inside Med's roster (via Roster Editor) as to what i use.
I release patches by batches, so i'll make a Jeremy Pargo but i'll release it when there are more updates in the NBA.

EDIT: Thanks for the heads up man! Finally fixed Greg Smith's portrait. I got confused from the Greg Smith of the 70's and the Greg Smith of today.
Thanks again! Stay tuned for the next release.

[jtc324]

Larvae is there anyway you could send or upload all the png files uncompressed so i could pull some for my own portrait set. Thanks

Whats your plan for 2.1 or something?

I'll be releasing V3 maybe after the trade deadline. There isn't much going on in the NBA as of today.

Hey guys! I think the first step to that is to add Finley to the universal cyberface list (ta-da: http://www.nba-live.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=89896). Maybe I should reserve some slots of my own, too. I don't know.

I think Finley is already in the game. Or better yet, use the code that was used for him in the previous 2k games.
