Beta Roster v0.2

[Jackie Kong]

I'd recommend that. I've gone through the dunk packages again and there are definitely some that can stand to be fixed; some of the ones I've assigned to smaller guards who dunk occasionally definitely were not suitable in v0.2. Depending on how the next beta works out you might even want to wait for a stable release but hopefully the next beta will be fine from a roster standpoint, just lacking the art files.

I hope so too.

I'll be trying to get a beta out sometime today just to see if the rosters are stable enough.

Andrew, in the players.dbf i found retro teams under 67,68,69,... ids. Whats up with that?, just want to know if something bad would happen if i change the teams id.

[Andrew]

NBA Live 08's database contains some retro team data in the default players.dbf file, in what would seem to be a remnant of an unused championship teams feature; most likely, they could not secure likeness rights and had to abandon the feature as NBA Live 08 does not include art for those players, only the player data remains. Because the rosters are a conversion of the NBA Live 08 database, those players still appear in the database.

You should be able to manipulate them as you like but note that without the actual art files, the results may not be what you want.

Andrew, will you release beta 0.3 today?

[Andrew]

I'm hoping to. I wanted to yesterday but I had some other matters to attend to so I couldn't get it done in time.

[Jackie Kong]

no chance of having it in the next 5 hours right? just asking to know. no hurry.

[Andrew]

I really can't say.
