Did you try cheat engine already?

by **TBM** on Sun Mar 19, 2017 9:55 am

I haven't tried because you haven't said how to do it yet. :lol:

I'm assumed you couldn't edit pants colours since you ignored my PM. So I investigated more into it and it looks like all the warmups share the same pants texture. The colour is locked somewhere and I have no idea how to change it. Probably somewhere in the games memory, which I probably can't change since the SYNC.bin fucked us over.

BTW, to change a iff file that a team uses you're going to need to get into the Team block.

You can do this by finding a team name address, and the right clicking it and press "Browse this Memory Region". Then you can find the f000.iff and change it to whatever you want.

I actually didn't answer you because I completely forgot. I read PMs, and then go "I'll answer this later" and then just forget.

TBM sorry I thought someone else had posted that. I was veiwing the message from my phone and just quickly glanced at your post not realizing I was getting you mixed up w/ someone else who asked about the same thing.

It may not seem big but it really is.. 2K17 Modding might be like 2K14

by **TGsoGood** on Mon Mar 20, 2017 5:03 am

If i had more motivation and free time to strictly focus on modding without my responsibilities I would keep looking for ways to mod this game.Modding and roster making has been more fun than playing the game for me.

Right now it takes too long for me to keep testing mod ideas and failing with no success.

Gregkwaste's Explorer tool, 7zip tool, and hex editors is mostly all I have been using.

To be honest knowing all I know now, I think it would be better for me to mod 2k16. Seems like that game has more possibilities for what I want to do.
Also 2K16 was less taxing graphically on people's pc. I had to upgrade graphics card for 2k17.

*Edit, I went back to 2k16 and I think the tools we have for 2K17 are much better.
So I definitely will not be going back to that game.

Do People even play 2k16 anymore?

I don't know. Wouldn't matter to me.

by **TXMELESS** on Mon Mar 20, 2017 7:17 am

Do you even think modding for 2k17 and future games could be like 2k14 modding? Like are globals still a thing?

by **TBM** on Mon Mar 20, 2017 7:20 am

Other than roster editing, 2K17 modding is already pretty much like 2K14. There are added restrictions here and there, but that's it. And yes, there are still globals.

by **PeacemanNOT** on Mon Mar 20, 2017 7:39 am

Roster editing and the fact that we have a much smaller modding community than in previous years is what's 2K17's problem. Other than that we can do a lot, if not more with the custom body models.

by **TXMELESS** on Mon Mar 20, 2017 7:49 am

I'm planning to join the modding community. Don't judge me but I have a hand in modding with the sims. Like making new meshes or converting them aswell and Textures. But as of right now I'm waiting to get my new pc and 2k17 which is still $60 on steam(Can u believe that? lol)

by **TGsoGood** on Mon Mar 20, 2017 7:53 am

If we had a tool like red mc, there would be many rosters like college and retro seasons.

by **TXMELESS** on Mon Mar 20, 2017 8:04 am

I wonder if there is a way to personally update red mc to work with 2k17

by **TBM** on Mon Mar 20, 2017 9:06 am

You're not very familiar with coding I'm guessing.

And your right. I tried it in school a couple times couldn't get some things to work.

by **TGsoGood** on Mon Mar 20, 2017 10:37 am

We cant use any tools from last gen

I'm putting my daughter to bed. I think I have a mod for you 2 guys and even the smaller shorts. I'll make sure it's works and try to release it within the next 40 minutes. Wish me luck.

>> 90's Shorts for current teams <<

phpBB [video]

Mod allows you to have 90s style shorts for all current teams and the jersey design feature in MyLeague and MyGM will also use these shorts.

This is great for retro rosters/ retro MyLeague saves.

by **TBM** on Tue Mar 21, 2017 4:40 am

You just edited the RDAT files for each team?

by **TGsoGood** on Tue Mar 21, 2017 8:57 am

TBM wrote:You just edited the RDAT files for each team?

No. I renamed the retro shorts file to shorts.iff and it changes all long shorts to 90s style.

I did not try to rename the classic shorts file to shorts.iff. Not sure it will work for those.

I posted this in a different thread but here are other things I have been working on.

Tried creating new archives myself so I could create and use new cf ids, floor ids, and arena ids. Also would allow me to use files without using modded folder like in 2K14.

I feel like I am close but I don't know what compression method is used for the archives themselves.

Also working on mod that allows me to play park with just the cpu and all cpu players would wear street clothes. This mod is already under way. I figured out how to do it.
I even figured out how to get the females to play with thier real body models and female casual clothes. Its a lot of work tho.

Lastly, still trying to figure out how to replace all players with mascots.

by **TBM** on Wed Mar 22, 2017 8:31 am

Adding new archives isn't going to be possible. I can tell you that right now. You'd have more luck getting new files to pull from the modded folder.

I too thought this was the case, so as my back up plan I have also been trying to use the empty archives to add new files.
I only had one full day to try to take a crack at the empty (or almost empty) archives. Still the issue that gets me is figuring out the compression of the archives.

Please how do I import this to the game I'm a noob

by **Michaelagiri** on Thu Mar 23, 2017 8:55 am

Please how to I import the shorts .iff to the game to actually play in them

by **PeacemanNOT** on Thu Mar 23, 2017 9:10 am

Use the External File Plugin and place the .iff file into the modded folder:

I am in the same case as d43 but my experience with the cheat engine is very limited...
Thanks !

You will have to watch/ read tutorials for cheat engine in general to learn how to use it. I'm not really good at explaining cheat engine. I know just enough to get what I need done.

Is anyone interested in shoe mods for created shoes? Found somthing interesting for those who like using shoe creator. Will release previews later.

by **TBM** on Mon Mar 27, 2017 9:41 am

I would be interested depending on what it is. I don't create shoes almost ever, but I edit them to make custom colors all the time.

by **TGsoGood** on Mon Mar 27, 2017 3:22 pm

I made these after I swapped the default created shoe 3d model with the Nike Zoom Hyper rev.

The second pair are over kill but I like the pair w/ the purple.
I will try to get screen shots of created shoes after I swapped out the 3d model.

by **TBM** on Tue Mar 28, 2017 1:59 am

I'm confused. What is the advantage of this vs. the shoe editor?

by **TGsoGood** on Tue Mar 28, 2017 5:19 am

TBM wrote:I'm confused. What is the advantage of this vs. the shoe editor?

This mod uses the shoe editor. Basicly you design a shoe and then you can swap out the 3d model to use a scanned shoe. This gives the shoe a different look.

This is for people who create shoes.
I have 2 other shoe mods that will do different things as well.

by **TGsoGood** on Wed Mar 29, 2017 10:50 pm

New progress. To keep it short... Every shoe from old gen 2k14 can easily be converted to 2k17.

This is great for the 2k14 shoe mods. The original 2k14 shoe textures were lo res

It would take a while to explain. I will try to put a mod together for release by next weekend (possibly sooner).
I have a few mods I need to release but right now I'm really just trying to push this game to the max modding capabilities.

I have confirmed that we can now do all of the following:
swap created shoe models in the shoe editor to use scanned 3d models
convert all old gen 2k14 shoes (team colorways are a slight issue)
use park clothes in offline game modes (play in hoodies, shirts, and jackets)
Swap 'Design Arena' files (use HS gym, Pro am gym, college gyms when creating arena in MyLeague/MyGM)
Use female models without glitches/ use female clothing
Use 90's style shorts for all teams
Use PC images for jersey designs for offline users (no need to download images from 2K)
Use PC images for 'Design Arena ' for offline users (create complete courts for MyLeague/ MyGM w/o downloading and no restrictions)
Use PC images for MyLeague/ MyGM Logo branding without downloading from 2K (for offline users)
I also figured out a method to easily convert 2K14 jersey (will have to look at my notes haven't used this in months)

... probably figured out more that I can't remember. We really are only missing a proper roster editor. It seems everything else graphically can be modded

by **TGsoGood** on Thu Mar 30, 2017 1:03 am

I will start a new shoe thread later. Here are some converted 2k14 shoes

This means we can now have any retro shoe or current shoe in any colorway!!!!

You are doing a great job ! So we should import the shoes from 2k16 too !?

by **TGsoGood** on Fri Mar 31, 2017 10:03 pm

Yes this would work for 2k16 also

So you know when they show the team stats at halftime? They have the team logos on the right and left.

I can't find those logos, they are not with the regular logo bundles in OC.

Can anyone locate these for me? I've changed all the other ones.

These are 3d logos. I don't know where they are but it means a lot of work on blender to change them.

by **mickachiste** on Wed Apr 05, 2017 12:24 am

Is that a separate file that contains all of the 3d logos for all the times?

They are all in this file, just for the current teams and the precreated teams. The weird thing is that i can't open any of them with blender. They are all .scne...
