New stuff from bchogan

New Patches: CLEVELAND COURT 2004, RUCKER PARK COMPLETE COURT PATCH HIGH RES, PLAYOFF & FINALS 2003 LOGOS
--My version of Cleveland's court (more accurate than others; based on currently released pictures and info), Higher res version of Rucker patch (3.33 MB), and a new playoff & finals logo patch (only appears in playoff mode).

Updated Patches: BOSTON COURT 2003 V3.0, MINNESOTA COURT 2003 V3.0
--Boston court has updated colors, both courts have new, integrated parquet floors (unique to each court; floors do not appear for any other courts) and an install .bat file.

I intended to release these patches only on nbalive.org. I uploaded them to nbalive.org a couple weeks ago, but since then, that site has been down. So, I'm releasing them at the angelfire site below.
These patches will currently only be available at this site. I'm getting rid of my other site mirrors as I don't have time to update & upload to 5 different sites. This will result in my patches being less available due to bandwith limits, but so many people didn't understand that I had mirrored my site anyway, so they weren't able to get the files when one of the sites went down. Anyway, I'd still like to have nbalive.org as the permanent home for my patches, but until it's problems are resolved, you can get my patches here.
Read the text files for more info on these patches.

Here's some more about the patches.
-Cleveland court: As accuarate as I could make it, based on current info.
-Boston court: Fixed court, line & logo colors, and added a new parquet floor that will only be used by the Boston court (use the install .bat file to correctly install; it also automatically removes the original parquet floor from my previous Minnesota court patch, which is necessary for the new floors to appear)
-Minnesota court: adds integrated parquet floor, specific to Minnesota (includes similar install .bat to Boston court v3.0).
-Rucker Park High Res: Some higher resolution textures, most notably for the concrete court itself (see preview pic for details) and some improved signs. 3.33MB!
-Playoff & Finals 2003 logo patch: Changes playoff & finals logos to current versions. Although the finals are yet to come, I based the finals logos on the ones shown on the playoff tree on nba.com, hence the yellow & black color scheme.
Before anyone says it, NO! I can't make the "2003 conference finals" logo that is being used for the western & eastern conference finals, as it is impossible to correctly impliment into NBA Live 2003.

l just download the playoff logo patch; however, the aligment and size of the logo on right hand side seems to be wrong. Do l have to do anything to change ?? like edit the ocourt.xix???

It can't be implemented because there is only two sets of playoff logo fsh's, the one for regular playoffs and the finals. There is no such thing as the conference finals logos in NBA Live 2003 (maybe there will be in 2004).

The size & position of the playoff & finals logos is controlled by the individual court's .o file, so the only courts that I have changed to correctly position the logos are the 3 new ones (Boston, Minnesota & Cleveland). You would have to edit the .o files of ony other team's court to get them to have the logos appear correctly.

Website · by **madskillionaire** on Fri May 23, 2003 8:34 am

Ben told me he wasn't gonna put the site back up. Unless they're doing some big practical joke (pretty easy on msn since there's no voice tone, facial expressions etc.) then it appears the site is done for good.

by **Tony** on Fri May 23, 2003 10:44 am

Sad news indeed...

Though I still hope for a good ending...

Anyway, nice stuff BC...

yeah i do hope it's just a joke. It'd be a big loss for all if it's true.

Man, great job with the court patches. :cool:

In my personal opinion nbalive.org should be gone. We should have one website, one forum, etc... But could everyone get along??????? :idea:
