I'll look for the instance in the first picture but the other examples look similar so I think they'll display the full thing

yeah, the first one might be different.
also, ima dig into titlecard2 scene files. I would like to know how they get Utah on top line and Jazz on bottom line. it should be somewhere in the scene files, perhaps.
also, i dragged all the titlecard2.iff files into newscorebug.iff. haveing both NewScorebug.VCUIELEMENT and TitleCard2.VCUIELEMENT did nothing. 2k18.exe searched for newscorebug.vcuielement and loaded the scoreboard proper.

but then i deleted newscorebug.vcuielement and renamed "titlecard2.vcuielement" to "newscorebug.vcuielement"
then, the 2k18.exe read the renamed element and loaded the bottom banner during gameplay.

it might be as simple as copying hex from titlecard2.element to newscorebug element and then dragging all the titlecard2.iff files into newscorebug.iff
or, like all hex, it might just screw it all up anyways, havent tested that theory
I gotta cook dinner for the kids. might get back to it later

that nba on tnt gooeyglobal looks dope!

its just the watermark. you might have to move it around in hex, maybe. attached below

nice! was wondering about that. guess all I had to do was change the VC_overflow to wrap and it works great job

Wild Idea but, is it possible to have all these scoreboards randomly selected before the start of a game?

Someone with coding experience could make a small exe to randomly select a file, rename it, and then start nba2k18. Or on a simpler scale it could be done through a bat file.

Wild Idea but, is it possible to have all these scoreboards randomly selected before the start of a game?

Here is a bat file that'll pick a random scorebaord file and move/rename it to the mods folder.
set source=path to the folder where the scoreboards are kept
set target=path to your modded folder

Code: Select all

@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set source=C:\Steam\steamapps\common\NBA 2K18\scoreboards
set target=C:\Steam\steamapps\common\NBA 2K18\waigua

set count=0
set x=0

:: put all the files into a pseudo-array prefixed with "TXT_"
for /r "%source%" %%a in (*.*) do (
    set IFF_!count!=%%~a
    set /a count+=1
)

:: Use the 'modulo' function to get a usable value from system variable %random%
set /a x="%random% %% count"

:: Pull the relevant item out of the "TXT_" 'array'
set chosen=!IFF_%x%!

echo:Random Scoreboard Chosen :: %chosen%
copy /y "%chosen%" "%target%\newscorebug.iff" 1>nul
echo Copying Scoreboard Files
echo msgbox "File %chosen% set as Scoreboard. Press OK to Launch NBA 2K18" > "%temp%\popup.vbs"
wscript.exe "%temp%\popup.vbs"

START steam://rungameid/577800
del "%temp%\popup.vbs"
endlocal

A batch file i wrote for myself. Figured i'd share it here in case anybody wants to use it.

This batch file lets you select which scoreboard you want to use.
things you have to change:
set source= Path to your Scoreboards Folder
set target= Path to your modded folder

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion


set source=C:\Steam\steamapps\common\NBA 2K18\scoreboards
set target=C:\Steam\steamapps\common\NBA 2K18\waigua

set count=0

:
:: Read in files
for /r "%source%" %%x in (*.*) do (
  set /a count=count+1
  set choice[!count!]=%%x
)

:
echo.
echo Select one:
echo.

:
:: Print list of files
for /l %%x in (1,1,!count!) do (
   echo %%x] !choice[%%x]!
)
echo.

:
:: Retrieve User input
set /p select= "select file by number:"
echo.

:
:: Print out selected filename

echo You chose !choice[%select%]!


copy /y "!choice[%select%]!" "%target%\newscorebug.iff" 1>nul

echo msgbox "File !choice[%select%]! set as Scoreboard. Press OK to Launch NBA 2K18" > "%temp%\popup.vbs"
wscript.exe "%temp%\popup.vbs"

START steam://rungameid/577800
del "%temp%\popup.vbs"
endlocal

another option to easily switch scoreboards is to just use jonesoft generic mod enabler.
That is what I use for most of my mods and I can swap scoreboards in and out while the game is running.

Saw this right now. Still wonder if adding the records could be figured out

Probably would have to add it to scoreboard_opt hmm

I havent fiddled with the record stuff yet.

Adjusting the up/down animation of the foul box.
putting this here before i forget. i don't think i have it backed up anywhere.

Big Thanks to Bongo88 for creating this tutorial and allowing me to post it here on the channel. (This video is ad free)

thanks for posting it on your youtube channel TGsoGood. I did ask him if he could post it on his channel since i don't use youtube and he has a nice channel filled with great tutorial videos.

If you check back this your ealier post:

Same technique should be used for the FULL CITY NAME. You just have to find correct ***.iff file that displays city name. Unfortunately "starting lineup."iff shows only team name.

For city name would this work? Any idea what this file is? right before the starting lineup when the players are shooting around warming up
[ Image ]

EDIT:
The file is titlecard2

Unfortunately it does not work as I thought it would. It displays the whole thing
[ Image ]

This is a more accurate way to represent what it is pointing to
[ Image ]

However I did find that this file shows their records too as well as stadium name. Wonder if it would be possible to add records under the teams to a scoreboard
Just took a quick example from google to show what I am talking about
[ Image ]

Here's a preview of the progress with the root sports scorebug. Would like to figure out some animation stuff but it is coming along.

I'm not great with high quality graphics so any help with my notification box would be appreciated

... ... ... just search for other bytes at titlecard2.iff file that displays season W-L record and repeat them at newscorebug's VCUIELEMENT file.
At any position at at this stage - let's say put onto the away team names offset.

Show the screenshot to prove this works, then I will try to share ideas (implemented at NBA2K14 by me) how to get "extra" text attributes to scoreboard, 'cos as I understand now you do not have free space to display W-L records

... NBA2k14 - it looked like this (data taken from titlecard and added to nescorebug iff file):

Yes it did work already! I can replace team names with records for sure.
I hope you can help with the: how to get "extra" text attributes to scoreboard
That's the part we would need help figuring out. I just started with scoreboards like 2 weeks ago so it's hard to think outside the box of what to do with adding new elements.

The arena name is a nice touch too! That was another thing. Wow how you figured any of this is great I really appreciate you coming back to share advice and guidance



There's only 5 things/text boxes in titlecard2:
2c95128f-arena
f4cc75a5-city + team away
518f805d-record away
a78d6e47-city + team home
221915a0-record home

[bongo88]

in the blender files for 2k18 scoreboard there is a possesion away & possesion home meshes.

the scorebug_opt.scn file there are these entries:

Code: Select all

},
            "TIMEOUT_AWAY": {
               "Mesh": "timeouts_awayShape",
               "Count": 42
            },
            "BONUS_AWAY": {
               "Mesh": "bonus_strokeShape1",
               "Count": 24
            },
            "TIMEOUT_HOME": {
               "Mesh": "timeouts_homeShape",
               "Count": 42
            },
            "BONUS_HOME": {
               "Mesh": "bonus_strokeShape2",
               "Count": 24
            },
            "POSSESSION_AWAY": {
               "Mesh": "poss_awayShape",
               "Count": 6
            },
            "POSSESSION_HOME": {
               "Mesh": "poss_homeShape"
            },
            "shotclock": {
               "Mesh": "shotclockShape1",
               "Count": 138
            }


you could try messing with the possesion files/meshes in scorebug_opt.scn and blender to see if those meshes can be activated and textured.

edit: just read exrxixxx said he could provide more information. that would be very nice
edit2: nevermind about the possesion meshes. i forgot these are in game elements and not texture. guess we'll wait for exrxixxx to explain how to do it.

[exrxixxx]

This is just an IDEA how get EXTRA TEXT, no guarantees it works with 2k18 (It worked for 2k14).
Sorry in advance if your efforts will not be successful, but I hope it is worth to try.

wow thanks! that makes sense I will see how it goes and post updates


Just to add to scoreboard notes stuff. I don't think I saw this anywhere

group1_group1.fc9222190fdb114e.animation - the first 2 floats are x, y of the "3" that shows up when you make a three for the home team
group2_group2.1231fb251137301e.animation - same but away team

Sportsnet Scoreboard Released
i found this mod: http://www.moddingway.com/file/190734.html
i changed the texture a little and ported it to nba2k18.
the original texture was from exrxixxx (sportsnet v3). then the base texture was edited by Magnuz (sportsnet 2016). Then i did some slight modifications on this texture for this release.
anyways, that's the credit history of this texture.


Download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KoIGB ... St9tR6az0m
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was just going to keep it for myself, but it turned out so pretty i figured somebody might want to use it. I usually buy nba2k basketball games ever three or four years, and will probably stick with nba2k18 for the next three or four years. So don't expect much from me in the near/far future.
Anyways, enjoy the scoreboard. this sportsnet scoreboard is my new favorite.
Anyways, this is my last scoreboard. I'll be around randomly for the awesome courts and faces that are hosted here.

All your work has been appreciated!
