Custom jerseys (home, awy, sun & clsc) for all players

[bchogan]

I don't know if anyone has written about this, but I found that you can have customized home, away, sunday and classic uniforms for every individual player, just like you can have custom practice jerseys.
As a test, I copied a patch of Toronto's home jersey files (tohome.fsh and tohome_num.fsh) to Kevin Garnett's custom art folder (render/xplayer/kegarne). I then renamed the files to just home.fsh and home_num.fsh. When I played a home game with Minnesota, Kevin Garnett was wearing the Toronto Raptors home jerseys, complete with his name and number, while his Minnesota teammates all had the normal T-Wolves home jerseys.
Obviously, the same method can be applied to creating custom away, sunday & classic jerseys for each player. But you do have to keep in mind that the jerseys you create will stay with that player no matter what team he plays for. For example, if you make a custom version of Minnesota's jerseys for Kevin Garnett, he will wear those jerseys on any team he's traded to. And players that are on regular NBA teams as well as the All-Star teams (like MJ, Gary Payton & Shawn Kemp) will wear whatever custom jerseys on all their teams as well (although you can get around this by editing the players.dbf file).
Anyway, this seems like it has several uses. I think it's the only way to have the player's number on their shorts. And I was thinking of using it to make a patch for AI that would have his jersey untucked, like it was in last night's game. Or you could make any team be like the all-star team and have different team jerseys on each player.
Like I said, I don't know if this has already been mentioned somewhere, or if someone is already using this method, but I figured I'd post this in case anyone doesn't know about this.

Good post, Bchogan!

Yeah, you can do that. But the game only gives the teams with the ID's 30 and 31 individual jerseys that can be changed via the ORIGTEAM.
And two teams can't have the same ID's.
D*mn!

My point was that, using this method, you can have any team have each player wearing a jersey from a different team on the court at the same time WITHOUT editing the ID's in the teams.dbf file.

I was planing to use this for the legends players as soon as came more retro jerseys.
Nice work on the courts Bchogan.

Oh, i didn't understand. I see...

Not if you change the players jerseys names to fx. (if it's Michael Jordan)
"cihome" or "ciaway" Then he'll only wear these jerseys when he plays for the Chicago Bulls. Not in the All-Star game or on the All-Star '90's team...
I think that's a solution. I haven't tried it yet, though.
