[Wim.vl]

Duncan don't want really smile because... Fisher on buzzer for three

Haha awesome moment indeed, reminds of me something: maybe Big Shot Rob needs a new portrait

[champione]

I think xteleo answered your question
Added new previews in description

Ok I understand now, good work.

[micnica]

wow.... great

pls update roster????? chris paul to clipper pls update!

[jmmontoro]

The idea behind this method is not to touch the roster at all, the next release will be compatible with the official 2k rosters.

this is what i'm always looking for!!! (since years!) fantastic (btw. this is what 2k should do!!)

[Wim.vl]

Wim - after you release your 2KRoster Update compatible portrait files would you mind if I use it as a base to update some of my Retro Team player portraits? I've been waiting for someone to update the rookie portraits (compatible with the 2Krosters) before I start adding my retro team missing portraits.

Thanks man - let me know

No prob man, you can use it, just don't forget about me
if I can help with inserting new portraits, just send a pm or something, I'll help.

Yeah I believe this is what 2K would do, if it had other methods than releasing a full 400MB portrait file. So if they don't do it, I will

And once again: if you have any hq pics (at least 256x256, preferably higher quality), do not hesitate to send them to me, can't find any due to my limited time.
Haven't had any pictures sent to me till now, so.. Still looking to add up to them legends !

[Wim.vl]

Wim - I sent you a PM - I'll start gathering some DDS portrait files of my retro team players that need them - I'm assuming you want them in DDS format - let me know if you want them in something else.

Thanks man

Got it, replied

This will be released when all rookies are in the official 2K roster (meaning when all rookies are officially signed).
Untill then, I can't send you a list of all rookies, because we don't know yet what ID-number the new rookies will have.

[Murat]

one for kendrick perkins?

man those are SICK

[jmmontoro]

Good teamwork man - looking great
P.S. Just so you guys know this file is going to add an extra 350+ portraits to the game (without removing any)

Happy to see that almost an year later someone listened! Can't wait to see the result! Remember guys, prioritize live rosters ids.

We did - all retro players / legends will have portraits in the 4,000s allowing us to leave the regular player IDs alone as well as NBA2KSHARE player updates with whatever their assigned IDs are. Current legends already in the game with "computerized portraits" will simply be replaced with the real ones so there won't ever be a need to keep re-assigning portrait IDs for every 2KRoster Update.

Yes indeedy, they all look real nooooice

[Wim.vl]

Thanks HAWK, was a pleasure working with you, even though the time zone difference did give us a hard time

[pistonnation]

Can this be uploaded somewhere else? Im getting EXTREMELY slow dload speed. I have fast internet and 213 mb should not take 5 hours long to get... Is is up on the NLSC site yet? Thanks for this amazing project!

[jmmontoro]

Congrats!

Thanks for your appreciation, Pistonnation. Make sure to combine it with HAWK's teams, so you can revive your championship-winning Pistons with portraits
If you want alternative download, here it is:
http://www.mediafire.com/?a654jq8qytjgemh
BUT there is something else you'll have to do then: you'll have to duplicate all files, rename them portrait.iff, portrait.cdf, portrait_hi.cdf, portrait_hi.iff, and put all of them in your 2Kfolder.
So basically you have 2x2 files with the same size, yes.
Because Hawk and I had a feeling that some people would have a hard time dealing with the copying, we decided do do that ourselves, and include all files in 1 rar. That's the one you see in description, but the one I mentioned here, was the original idea.
Don't worry, it has the same result

Enjoy, and let me know if it all works well, and maybe were corrections are needed? Feedback is always appreciated!

Cheers

[pistonnation]

Thank-You so much guys! It is downloading MUCH faster. (about 3 mins remaining compared to 5 hours!) lol. Thanks a bunch. Now, I see it is like 103mb now. I have to copy (portrait.iff, portrait.cdf, portrait_hi.cdf, portrait_hi.iff) and then rename them? Im sorry Im a little confused. Then put both ( portrait.iff, portrait.cdf, portrait_hi.cdf, portrait_hi.iff)'s in the NBA2K12 Folder? So I will have 2 of the same file?

[Wim.vl]

You'll see what the file contains: 2 files + readme. You copy those 2 files and rename them to portrait.iff and portrait.cdf
Result should be: portrait.iff, portrait.cdf (100MB) , portrait_hi.cdf (100MB), portrait_hi.iff.
The files are the same, yes, but you just have to do it, in order to have it work.
ok?

[pistonnation]

OHHH! Thanks for that detailed explanation! Ok,ok. I got it! Haha thanks Bro. I LOVE IT! I will post feedback if I get any problems!

[Wim.vl]

Nice to hear, it is working? How do they look?

[jmmontoro]

Wim: can you send me the updated dds only?

Did you know that by teaching the method you can release small size updates?

Mediafire is down, server maintenance!

[pistonnation]

They Look GREAT! Except some of the rookies dont have a portrait yet. (V. Macklin Pistons) And then of course there are other rookies that do and dont have Portraits. (Im using resdimon's latest Dec. 27th Roster.) OH YEAH, J.R. Smith Wilson Chandler and Kenyon Martin (Free Agents Pool) DO NOT have a portrait?! I know they DID when I used another roster. Would that be the problem? Other than that everything is AMAZING!

[Wim.vl]

Their portraits are in the file, but this file is compatible with 2K official roster. and in the official rosters, kenyon martin, brandon roy and wilson chandler, are not included.
So resdimon had added kenyon, brandon and wilson, but they don't have their portraits assigned.
And about the rookies: I'm going to fix this, it's just I didn't have them yet, till now.
So if i get there, i'll update it.

Thanks for feedback!

[jmmontoro]

You don't need to duplicate and rename the cdf file. The cdf file should be without _hi. Duplicate the iff file.
