When it comes to court editing in NBA Live 2000, there is a flaw in making them really realistic. As you know, newer NBA courts have a different look than former ones. The area between the key and the three point lines can have another wood color.
What I have seen, in every other NBA Live version, this feature has been realized, only NBA live 2000 is lacking of it. This has to do with the *.bin files belongig to the *.fsh court files. By editing those binary files one can change the colors of the key, off court area and lines. For most of my court patches I use the pdcrt.bin, which is the binary file belonging to the original Philadelphia 76ers court. However, this bin file hasn’t hex values to change the wood color of the two-point field goal area.
There is only one court in the original unpatched NBA Live 2000 game with another two-point area color – the court of the Charlotte Hornets. But the fsh file of that court is not useful for me, so I have to solve the problem by changing the pdcrt.bin. But how?
My intention was to copy hex values from one bin file to the other. But everything I did caused crashes of the game. It seems obvious that only one way can work. You have to write new hex values.
Well, Idon’t know if I expressed myself clearly, but if you think you can help, please let me know.
