Hi folks!
I have been working a bit on my roster files. That means, especially Chicago, Utah and Memphis are better balanced inside the team and compared to other teams than before. For example, Derrick Rose scores more, Zach Randolph + Carlos Boozer less. Plus few player have been added.
And, of course, the newest birth ID files are included in this.

Furthermore, I am releasing my newest patch for portraits (Andrew, please upload this one the download section;-))

To download the player portraits click below:

Still CF are missing, but it's gonna be a step by step thing, I guess...

Enjoy ma stuff

Hey winner!
The last roster files (VER 2.45) are NOT of the same date as my last update pack (VER 2.4), but the new roster files are working with the other files (.viv and .fsh). About the shoes. What's your goal? Using the Originals with all my other stuff or just activating my stuff? If u like to use the Originals, you should use EAGraph to extract shoes.fsh out of xplrcmn.viv in GAMEDIR\render to a new folder. Then overwrite the Original files with my patched. Finally, use EAGraph to import the extracted Original files into my patched. Afterwards you would have had my patch with Original shoes, if this is what you like...
Using the Original files with my patched shoes is easier. Just import my uploaded shoe.fsh file into the xplrcmn.viv file. Custom Art is another way to do that.

About LeBron. Nice to 'see' there are still guys out there supporting him. Looking at real pictures, his beard varies from time to time (that's natural, isn't it;-)). Creating hair and beard really takes a lot of time (using EAGraph you can take a look at my patched CFs. You'd see some crazy hair parts, since 3D models often are asymmetrical). I'm really satisfying my version of LBJ. The version inside my update pack is newer than the single uploaded. The hair didn't change, but the body skin has been improved a lot.
For you I could make a special exception. It's the only time I am uploading my 'holy' editable Adobe Photo Deluxe files with layers for hair and beard (2). I think it can be edited with Adobe photoshop as well. So you can change the beard in the way you like.

Little Addition: LBJ's beard yesterday;-)

Not far away from my version...



About the faces inside my update pack. The newest birdman is NOT included. The picture shows which CFs are included in VER 2.4. Using EAGraph, there won't be a problem adding/substituting one single CF.

Ver 2.5, which will be released during summer, will then include the newest version, of course.

Thanks for the appreciation, Cykim! I thought using Brian Grant's 3-d model file (o.file), would be the best for Joakim Noah... as always I was taking the picture in the mode with one player...
what a bug of the game! Only in one-on-one and individual practice mode the hair will be as selected in the .dbf-files (as seen on the pictures)! :-(
In every other mode (Dynasty, Season, Exhibition game) he has average corn rows and NO braid! A test with the Original rosters and Brian Grant led to the same result. So it's a problem of the game itself....

C ya

Mel


UPDATE:
Finally. I was able to find a way how to put a hair on his head in every mode. I was wrong with my analysis. It is a .dbf problem. When you select '6' (just the number itself!) for Joakim Noah's hair type in DB commander, he always will have the same hair! Moreover, I was patching the hair as well to realize a braid in his hair colour. To use this patch, you have to import the patched plrcmn.fsh file into GAMEDIR - render - xplrcmn.viv. Now I am satisfing. Typical patching story...

Here is my result:

Hi guys!
It's time for a lil upload. A new cyber face: Indiana Pacers' starting point guard in 2010-2011. Darren Collison. In 2009-2010 playing for the New Orleans Hornets was one of the season's best 6th man candidates.

Here is a preview:

Enjoy him

Melfox I just want to ask about Eligins Superchange, I download that patch many times why It doesn't work on my NBA Live 2004, everytime I install it the other players doesn't have face patch or jersey, I'm so sad because I want to play all those teams, are you improving the Superchange now? I wish you can improve it because I want to play the superchange without crushing, If ever you are improving Superchange I wish you can share it with us here...More power to you Melfox... God Bless

There was no need to post that again.

He's making his own updates, which you can find here in this thread. The other update, made by someone else, has nothing to do with this.

Thanks Andrew!
Exactly, here is the place where I offer MY patches. All I was describing above is, that some other guys have helped realizing this patch. Regarding to your request, I can only tell you that elgin's patch was a collecting job. He was searching for all released patches at that time and combined them to his big package. Consequently, there are much more players and teams, jerseys, etc. Therefore, the dbf and viv files are much bigger than the Originals. This can be a reason for a crushing game.
To solute this problem, you should start to create your own 'Elgin's Superchange - xcab edition 2011'. It's a lot of work for a patching beginner, but not very difficult. Just use EAGraph to copy all your favourite players and teams out of Elgin's files (fsh files inside viv files). Then think about the teams you can sacrafice. Afterwards rename the copied fsh files to those you want to overwrite (for example special/new teams to best of 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. teams). Then import the renamed fsh files into the Original viv files. Finally use DB commander to change the team names, so that they're matching.
All in all it's a job like a jigsaw puzzle. So you don't have to really create patches, but find the matching pieces inside a complete package and then substitute Original files to have a package that's not crushing.
I can't teach you all the details, but there is a tutorial to make the first step into 'our business'.

You can download the tutorial here:

Thanks Melfox and Andrew for the reply... I'm sorry guys because I'm just a beginner... Now I know why Superchange Crashes... The Truth I really want to play especially The Retro Tems like Chicago Bulls 96,Orlando Magic 96',Seattle Super Sonics 96,Houston 96,Superheroes Teams,Rappers Teams,Simpsons Teams,Slam Dunk Teams and Dragon Ball Z Teams... Actually guys the only thing that I know is to open NBA Live Toolkit and change custom art... I really don't know the EA Graph and the DB Commander... I'm so sorry guys... But I'll try what you say Melfox... Atleast I'm happy that you share your patches to us... More power to you Melfox... God Bless
