Glen's patching thread

Great job glen!
Do you recon there's a way to give the heads the same treatment as the calves - meaning making them a few percent smaller.
If that is possible we may finally get good proportions on the models.

Or am I athe only one who recons the heads are to large in Live 07.

ericisgod - my thoughts exactly... why are the uniforms more detailed as well?? Not that it's bad but to me it seems like a blurry image and a sharp one...

Toaster - many have complained. it seems that I'm the only one who is content with their size, lol...

Wow great stuff here! Really like the thick calves fix... And wasn't Pdub trying to figure about how to 2x the bands? Great job glen... Maybe you'll find out about 2x-ing the jerseys

Yes I was. I was trying to 2x the accessories ever since I 2x'd the headbands. I had the same problem with the headbands that you are having with the accessories, when you zoom out, they get transparent. I forgot how I fixed it, but I'm sure I can remember in due time. Glen, my man, we need to talk.

glen 2x means the texture is better right?
you gotta made the whole player 2x not just the handband
nice work

yep bro, 2x means crisper/clearer texture which is a good thing... the only thing that cannot be 2x at the moment are the jerseys... the face textures and shoes can still be 2x, Pdub already found a solution for the headbands for it to be 2x and if this little fix of mine succeeds, the player accessories will become 2x as well (not just the handbands but all of the accessories) together with the arm/muscle textures and the tatoos, oh, even custom accessories can be 2x if it succeeds... another small step to get out of blursville that ea placed us into...

thanks bro, but unfortunately the heads like in 06 and in 05 still cannot be edited...

as for the uniform bro, i havent touched them... yet... , the 2x arm/muscle texture plus the 2x accessories must've given an optical illusion to the jersey...

thanks dude, i'll release the thick calves fix maybe tomorrow... as for the jersey, i'll take a look at it as well in the following days...

Glen, my man, we need to talk.

that's good news bro, at least i now know i'm moving in the right direction with the 2x accessories... my theory is that the alpha channels are the culprits, because i tried an arm texture with no alpha channel and the accessories didn't become transparent even when i zoomed out... but of course, the down side of no alpha channels is when lighting is enabled, the arms becomes as shiny as a newly waxed car... i can send you the files through pm if your intrested Pdub, i think it's better if you see it 1st hand... two heads are better than one as i say, especially on this case...

Yeah, its not the alphas, I can tell you that much. It doesn't have anything to do with the arms either, its definitely something with the accessory texture. I'd like to know how how you edited the file. What method/program did you use? Pm me and we'll talk.

you are the man
nice job glen.

thanks for the comments guys...

the fix for the players calves is released get it here

enjoy!

Pdub and i are still looking for the solution for the 2x accessory fix to be stable...

Very nice job on all your patches, specially that Kobe one!

Nice work dude!

hey great job on calves, are u able to make a custom bodytype then?

thanks for the feedback guys, again much appreciated...

nope not yet bro, it seems that ea screwed up with the default thick bodytype with shaq's bodytype... i merely fixed it by putting correct files in place...


and good news regarding the 2x arm textures. big props to Pdub who finally found a way to make it stable, he will be the one releasing the final version of the 2x fix so watch out for it as well... the only thing remaining now with half resolution are the jerseys...

Damn! can't wait for the final release!
Hope you guys will figure out the jerseys thing as soon as possible

Dude, you're one hell of a patcher!

Sick man!!
I just think you should fix John Stockton's double-eyes.
All the cyberfaces are perfect but the Rodman I didn't like too much...
And I have a question man, that Andrew Bynum CF in the image of the thick calves fix, can you release it?
Thank you

thanks for the feedback guys...

thanks bro, oh yeah... thanks for pointing out stockton's eyes... (the previewing before releasing served it's purpose in that case because i personally didn't notice it ) it has been fixed in the final version, you can see it in his preview pic as well... as for rodman though bro, that's the best possible headshape that i can give him so that one has to do, still better than nothing... unfortunately, the andrew bynum is not mine, so obviously i can't publicly release it...

okay the m.l.a. pack 2 is finally released... again, thanks for your patience and feedbacks... you can get it at the 2nd page of this thread... those who already know .dbf editing will have no problem with this pack, but for those who don't know how to add players via dbf editing... i suggest you look for tutorials on this forum or in nbalive.org to help you... because it's definitely much more complicated than the 1st pack... enjoy!

2 packs successfully released, 1 to go...

btw, for those using the 2x texture that Pdub recently released... i will release 2x custom accessories for the legends, and tatoos for rodman as well in a couple of days... (the original custom accessories and tats in the packs are just half resolution)

Is the kb24 same with kobe bryant update in nbalive.org ?

nope linus721210, kb24 is the 06/07 headshape of kobe converted to 05 for nba live 05 players... the one at nbalive.org is for 07 and may work with 06 as well, if converted...

Thank you !

I didn't know that you're a member of dotorg

Thank you !

no prob bro...

I didn't know that you're a member of dotorg

not only am i a member there bro, but a resident patcher as well... i was endorsed by tony huml and ultranix when i was starting back in 06... so i owe those two big time...

Yeah I noticed you have fixed John Stockton. As I sayed, your patchs are totally SICK!!! And your Jordan is the best one I have ever seen! All in my game!
Thank you!
