Hex on Steroids - Easily Edit Court Reflections and Colors

[JBulls]

It happens a lot in my experience. I'd change values, save, reopen to either find none had changed or a few have, try again, save, it would work or it wouldn't. It's hit and miss... weird :/

[Leftos]

I need an example. Maybe a certain set of profile settings don't work right when saving. So I need the profile you're using, what file you're using it on, and what I should try to change. There's obviously a bug in the code, but I need the full set of information in order to fix it.

[JaoSming]

one that I did find is not being able to paste in values for the last row

[Leftos]

Just fixed that. v0.3.0.3

Anyone can tell me how to fill 3pt arc with color?
What column should I change?
Like s59 , s42... ?!?!?!?

[JaoSming]

it depends on the floor, and the floor has to have a different shade in that area to be able to edit it.

experimenting is the only way to find out

Hi Guru Jao, can we edit the blacktop sXXX.iff with this tool??

[JaoSming]

well, everything with the blacktop court is texture based, so, you can use this tool for stuff, but not for courts and definitely not for reflections.

if you want to have a floor with reflections on the blacktop courts, you need to 3D edit out the court, then assign a floor to couple with that stadium like normal arenas. so an f604 or f614

I need some help in court color editing. I try to edit Wells Fargo Arena with 50th logo, I've managed to edit inside the paint area but the problem is I can't seem to find the other values for outside paint(one with the highlight).

There are only two values for Blue which are the inside the paint area and this

I really need some help

[JaoSming]

i dont have that court and I'm not up for editing others' work

look for color values where the third value (the bottom one) is higher than the first two (since its RGB, blues will have a higher third value)

Sir, I would just like to ask the following questions:

1. how do you edit the center logo of a particular court?
2. Is there a certain dimension for the center logo size and image format if I want to create a custom center logo?
3. Are the text on court sidelines are also image files like the center logo? (Ex. SIXERS.COM text)
4. How can I change the floor parquet of the court?
5. Lastly, what are the size dimensions of the floor parquet?

Thank you very much in advance sir...

[JaoSming]

with a mod tool that can extract and import textures from iff files
yes, each texture has their own dimensions and compression
yes, the text on the sides of the courts are textures too
same with the floor
dimensions depend on the court


there are video tutorials on how to use the mod tools and everything else possible in the tutorials forum. They will show you step by step how to use the two mod tools, import and export DDS textures, and edit them.

Thank you sir for the info..
Your a big help...
I'll try to read some more tutorials so I can further understand the techniques in modding...

Can i edit all courts or only the court of Boston Celtics?

[JaoSming]

all courts

[bs7]

Thanks for quick answer. But for example i cant edit Grizzlies court.

Jao, how do i figure out the reflection of the dorna? In what row/column. And also reflection in the center court?

[JaoSming]

the dornas reflective properties would be in the stadium model....or the out of bounds "part" of the floor.

But its all trial and error to figure that out. Just edit the value for 1 or two columns at a time to figure out which floor part you are modifying.

Thanks jao.how do u make the reflections blurred

[JBulls]

Thanks jao.how do u make the reflections blurred

No one has discovered or disclosed how to do this thus far.

Jao posted screenshot on first page with the Celtics floor reflection. Id like to know how he does that effect

[JaoSming]

it uses the 2k9 reflection map, which is a different texture than 2K13's

Hi Jao,

I tried to edit colors in phoenix suns court using your method, but the court remain unchanged...

Could you help me, i just want to modify the orange color on the airways center court of the phoenix suns, which is not very nice (very dark) and not the same in game than in the reality.

Thanks

[JaoSming]

sorry, I made this video tutorial to cover it. I know others have made the court using it.

Try doing the court I used in the video as a base, to see if you can make the same changes I did. Then try the suns court after.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get this tool setup, I've had no problem setting up and using other tools from Leftos (like the audio editor, keep my mod, roster editor) but when I try to open up the hex on steroids 0.5 I get a critical error. In the error log I see input string was not in correct format (among other things). Any help would be appreciated.

Here's the error log:
