DOWNLOAD LAGOA TEMPLATE V2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys,

Here my tutorial for making u own MOD for 2k courts. First, a HUGE THKS to GREG, for made blender tools for us.

So, lets started, hope can u understand my terrible english.

1 - In this download, u have TWO FILES:
- MODDED FLOOR model. One texture court.
- A .psd file, with all layers for u made a easy court mod.

2 - Editing:
- All lines for the court is on the .psd! Just 3pt line is on the 3D model and it´s original WHITE. So, if u need to change colors of lines, u need to change on .psd for all lines and for 3pt line, u need to edit "floor_lines.e73c9c0b969242a7.dds" on "fxxx.iff" Change the color and save with DXT5.

- After finish textures on .psd, u need to RESIZING this to 6144x6144 pixels. After this, saving on "big76ers256.b12657766f340003.dds" and it´s done.

This is perfect, thank you!

[TBM]

Does this work on all arenas? Also, did you ever sort out the scratches being too big?

[Lagoa]

I test in four and work, if u not working, send me a screen and we solve.

[Manni Live]

Ima give this a try. Do you think you can help me scale the center logo down abit. I wanted it to match my Retro and NCAA courts i had back in 2k14.

[MrArni]

WoW! I was waiting for this since first dates ) but...for me there is a bug. The edges of the floor are flashing.

Its happening with Rockets Stadium right? I will working on fix here!

I've tryed Rockets and Hornets and I've got the same bug. I guess its happening with all stadiums. How to fix it anyway?

[Issy]

Nice, but i didn't understand how I should extract the "floor.dds" on the fxxx.iff?

Don't think it happens on all stadiums. The problem with templates is that every arena has a slightly different size floor model, so the flickering is due to the overlapping geometry.

[MrArni]

Sooooo any solution?

[TBM]

Sooooo any solution?

Wait for Lagoa to fix it.

[TBM]

Okay, I found a fix. In Blender, open the floor model and make the center court logo and the 3pt line one pixel up. Make sure you only move those two things up. If you move the whole model up, it won't work.

Can you fix it and upload a fixed version of template? Im trying to find a solution, but im having issue with Bender.

[TBM]

I can't do that without permission from Lagoa. If he gives me permission, sure thing.

BTW Lagoa, can you add a 3-point line to this, so we can change the floor color inside of the line?

[Lagoa]

TBM, yes! U right. Be free to upload your version with fix.

I will post tomorrow a link with fix too and with .psd with 3pt line. =)

[Gerix]

Thank you guys! Great mod! This fix works!
Lagoa, can you attach a .psd with 3pt lines in template? Is it possible to put all of that in one .psd?

One more thing, i found out some black smudge (two actually). Also, lines in the center of the cour, how to delete them? I removed them in .psd, but they are still there.

[Gerix]

One more problem, when you put new floor model (TBM version), names under the players are invisible, probably because you lifted floor for few pixels.

Also, what do we need to change for EuroLeague 3pt line and court dimensions?

[Lagoa]

Lagoa, how to import and export the dds file to iff file?

[mrk326]

Hey Lagoa, apparently there was a bug in the floor file. The texture doesnt match the floor itself. See the pic below.

Hey Lagoa,

Can you make a template for the Heat Stadoum? It has the same issue with the wood on the outsides of the court

[Dee4Three]

Actually, the Suns court and a few others do it as well.

[PeacemanNOT]

Your 07-08 celtics court does it as well.

[Dee4Three]

Your 07-08 celtics court does it as well.

Yeah it's on quite a few of the arenas

[Jhiane]

What tool will be use to open the fxxx.iff file? Pls help guys, I don't get it

[Issy]

What tool will be use to open the fxxx.iff file? Pls help guys, I don't get it

I agree.
It will be great to know how extract the .iff file and how to restore all the files in the .iff format pleeease.

[maumau78]

What tool will be use to open the fxxx.iff file? Pls help guys, I don't get it

7-Zip

[Dee4Three]

Lagoa, and chance of a V3 that fixes some of the issues with some of the courts? Like the wood around the court?

[Jhiane]

What tool will be use to open the fxxx.iff file? Pls help guys, I don't get it

7-Zip

I managed to extract it using 7zip, then how to import my dds file to iff file?

Ok i got it, it's easy actually.

When you are in 7zip tool, put your dds files (without folder!) and compress it in .zip file.
And change the extension by renaming .zip in to .iff.
If you can't see the extension, go there :


Thank you again Lagoa !
But i have just one problem, when i go in 2k17 explorer. I can't find the file who contain the court .dds
I find this :

But it would seem that it contains nothing inside

[Jhiane]

Issy, bro check your pm i sent you a message.

[ironknight]

Hi guys, so I tried editing the court, saved your psd file Manni into big76ers256.b12657766f340003.dds and coupled it in with the other files inside the f0xx.iff which i just extracted. Now I converted all the files inside the f0xx.iff folder which I just extracted (like what Issy said) into a zip file then I renamed into a .iff file.

Then I copied it to my Modded Folder, loaded the game, and the court was black on the certain court I assigned/renamed it to.

Any ideas why? Do I need Blender for this to work? Did I miss out anything?

[TBM]

What kind of zip?

[2020parkerk]

Yo, tried to make a court and when I finished I put it in the game using the 2k17 explorer but the court ends up looking black. Any ideas on how to fix?

Same problems. Not sure where the tutorials are but I haven't found anything that gives any steps to do these mods everything I try beyond replacing some dds files just ends up making the whole thing disappear and not work

[rdaws]

I got my court to "load", but the court glitches anytime the camera angle changes. Is there a step by step guide anywhere?

[TGsoGood]

looks like you did not save with the correct mipmaps

[rdaws]

Whats the correct way? Or programs to use so it can have mipmaps?

*update* I took your advice, I installed a .dds plug in for photoshop and saved my court image as a .dds with MipMaps. And now my court works! Excellent, thank you. Ill post pics soon.

Glad it worked for you

[doodypootoo]

Hey guys. Just tried my hand at my first court and it didn't show up at all. I know some people had issues where it only came out black or didn't look quite right but mine wouldn't load at all. Named it properly (f006.iff for the Clips court) and loaded it into a Modded file but nothing happened to the Clippers court. Still same ol court.

I'm going to try exporting my original file again and see if it helps at all. Thanks in advance to anyone who has any suggestions.

[rdaws]

Did you save your new court as big76ers256.b12657766f340003.dds ? I know I messed up before and saved it as big76ers256.b12657766f340003.dds.dds.

Hey thanks man. No unfortunately I did save it correctly. I opened it up with GIMP, which is also what I saved it as, and for whatever reason it only has the base floor color (in my case just red and blue, no lines or wood or anything) and has 12 MIPMAPS. I honestly don't know what they are or what they do and know that preferably Photoshop would be better but I have and know GIMP generally so I used that. Not sure if my MIPMAPS are wrong or if something else is, but I'll try tweaking how I save it and seeing if that helps.


Thanks for your advice.
