Can you enlighten me a bit? what is this shoe system info

You will assign shoes to players by going to in game menu. It will not overwrite previous shoes. You will be able to preview shoes in game and assign to multiple players at a time.

can you teach me how this works? and is it compatible with meds and other rosters?

[TGsoGood]

It is the normal shoe system in the game but i just figured out how to add more shoes. It is compatible with every roster. I am still working on it.

When the conversation for modder of the year begins, TGsoGood has to at least be in the conversation for 2016. This is a BIG deal, among his other work

I have released everything i mentioned in this thread. U can't be familiar with me if you think this is hype. Check my 1st post to see links to all released posts. Not to mention i have made everything i do open source since 2k13.

do i still have to rename this?

Just a quick update.... I have finally figured out most of the hex values i needed for shoe system.

If anyone has released shoes for 2k14 that are not in the game please allow me permission to include them with this mod. Right now I have to create shoes on my own and it takes about 2 hours or more for each shoe. Instead if can just get permission that will help.

If i dont get permission i will probably just make the shoes myself.

Also with the shoe system mod, you should still be able to create 50 custom shoes of your own. None of the new shoes will be editable.

I will try to release an early version of this by next Wednesday so you all can see the proof and how this will make assigning shoes way easier for URB, Meds, and other rosters.

No requests to create shoes at this time. Hex editing will take up most of my time. Also i have to create 2 preview pictures for each shoe. That takes up time also.

Fantastic work TGsoGood! Good luck with this project, just take your time but I am excited to see this working especially on the part...

...I have figured out a way to convert shoe textures using blender...

since I think the best pack of retro shoes available was from 2K12. Hopefully you can make a tutorial too so that I can help with the conversion part, I think I still have most the 2K12 shoes intact.

[Culture Games]

Soon, no one will be doubting TGsoGood...

[zhet123]

im so excited with this

since I think the best pack of retro shoes available was from 2K12. Hopefully you can make a tutorial too so that I can help with the conversion part, I think I still have most the 2K12 shoes intact.

In blender I opened up the 2k13 shoe model and applied textures from 2k10 - 2k13. Then I took a bunch of reference photos and put them together in photoshop.
Here is an example:


Unfortunately 2K14 Shoe texture has a different layout. So next I close the 2k13 3d shoe models and open up my 2K14 n2km shoe file.
Using the reference photos from above I can just use the same method that R4zor used for making CFs.
Basically, I pull up that reference picture as a background image from above and begin using blender's texture paint- clone options to create 2K14 texture from that picture.
If you are confused, just watch R4zor Cf method in the tutorial section.

That way is a little time consuming due to loading multiple 3d files and taking all those reference photos and then combining the photos. But that way is more precise.
A quicker way is to just manipulate the old texture in photoshop or gimp. Cut the shoe out of the 2k10-2k13 texture and manipulate it to fit one of the following layouts:

Low top


Mid top


High top



***EDIT

Oh and the alpha layer should be grey scale... the different grey colors cause the shoe to show different texture types such as patent leather, leather, metal, plastic, etc. Not easy to explain this one.

The green normal map is also not easy to explain
This is a lot to explain, I hope you all understand.

[zhet123]

yes the textures of older 2k games are different from 2k14 you really have to create it from scratch.

[johnwest1985]

hi tGspGood !! Excited about your developments...

u seem the be one of the few people out here with knowledge about hex editing. I have some questions on progressive sweet and other global stuff. Did some experiments with a global that look nice. U have facebook or can we pm ??

[Culture Games]

TsoGood, just tell me that this shoe is going to be possible to assign again, as seen in 2k12 and 2k13

This news has brought me so much happiness I never actually learned the 2k14 shoe system. Shit is too hella confusing

Yes these will be selectable. I will try to add PF flyers also. I prefer to wear PF flyers in real life. Bob cousy had a signature shoe with PF flyers.

just the dds

[TGsoGood]

You import then n2km file into blender. That is the 3d file. I will upload 2k13 version and 2k14 version of 3d shoe files when i get home. Just in case some people dont know how to get them from the global.
