[Total Update Patch 2K13]by George7 & M3r$uRy

So, after a couple of years after the end of the (successful IMO) NBA Live 08 TUP project, M3r$uRy and I decided to start working again on a new compilation mod for the best basketball game in the scene, NBA 2k13. Our goal is to provide the fullest update package, including the best patches from the best modders in these boards, in order to save you from confusion and waste of time in searching and searching for patches.

Hopefully, we want to include patches for every aspect of the game that can be changed, and make sure that in the end there won't be any problem regarding FPS or compatibility/crashes. So, if the patchers asked to supply the project with their jobs give us the permissions we need (and of course we're going to give them the full credit,as this is a compilation project for the your convinience and nothing more), we're going to release this project some time in the near future!

So,stay tuned for updates and news about the project!

-Looking for the best CFs. Any recommendations would be welcome.
-Gonna choose a roster to use after the first Reditor releases. Got permission from all major roster makers.

The patch will be JSGME-ready and have the JSGME installer included.
The JSGME (or Generic Mod Enabler) is a program that allows the user to easily manage all the mods he uses and keep a clean install of the game.
More information on it here: viewtopic.php?f=149&t=90401

Mods we keep an eye on

• Pooh's NBA 2K11-like Graphics (Unlikely to be included, players look plastic-like, too much shine)
• GeneriC's Darker Crowds
• oflii143's Lifelike modded eye texture
• SkunkIsPro's RealEye Colors

this is great!

i also like that info about installer

thanks guys.

George7, Mercury, good luck guys...

your TUP was successful, i hope that you can do it for 2013 too.


RIP papajack, he was the idea owner of TUP

Are we able to use for example Med's Roster/Albys/skoadam's Roster along with TUP? Without any conflicts? Even w/o using JSGME?

The idea is to use one of these rosters as a base for the whole mod. The roster we're going to choose is going to have maximum compatibillity with TUP. But I think that you could use the other rosters as well, and not have so many problems,except some parts that are going to be based on the roster of our choice and cannot be done otherwise. JSGME is only used in order to save the users from confusion and mistakes. If you want you could skip the use of it, though it's strongly recommended to.


Thanks for the support guys. Glad for it ,and yeah Murat, papajack was the first who thought of this idea, and all TUPs are done in his memory.

Yeah, i remember papajack from 08.

Can I make the global for this mod?

We have decided to use Lagoa's Global BUT if you want to contribute and be credited in the project, you can help us with some other things. I hope that's enough! I will contact you If something comes up

UPDATE

• Waiting for 1 more permission!
• Trying to make our titlepage.
• Checked CF needs for FAs and 5 teams.

Latest Permissions

• TNeckDME's Retextured Series (We'll include whatever doesn't conflict with other parts)
• ThaKing's Jerseys
• Wilt Chamberlain's Spalding Official NBA Ball
• maumau78's Better Net (Need to import it into JaoSming's works)

Mods we keep an eye on

• Pooh's NBA 2K11-like Graphics
• GeneriC's Darker Crowds

Do you prefer JaoSming's Brighter Crowd Lighting or GeneriC's Darker Crowds? We may place a poll later on.

Your attention guys! Poll added to the top!

Choose between the two crowd lightings, in order to include the most popular choice in the patch!

"Mods we keep an eye on
Pooh's NBA 2K11-like Graphics"

i don't agree putting this into TUP. imho, nba 2k13 has already excellent graphichs and better than 2k11, so i don't see a point including this addon.

MadbaLL, if the lighting and shadows are more realistic, I don't see a reason not to include it. Until the release, this will stay a big IF though.

sir as 4 me darker crowds... lagoa's global with Dommas 2.5 skin & muscles type, and also with sj1414 lightning effect and sweat...then the eyes of oflii143.

and mvp njd mode ultimatev.2 reg skin tight jersey by michaelvlutz. because he improve the realistic block, dunk...with defense..etc.. that's 4 my opinion/suggestion.

Dommas 2.5 skin & muscles type

I have no idea what that is.

mvp njd mode ultimatev.2 reg skin tight jersey by michaelvlutz.

Won't be included. Modded EXEs are against the rules.

the eyes of oflii143

It's a nice project but they are too dark...

What about iamLillard UJP jerseys for those not maded my Tha King.

iamLillard has ignored my PM for permission. However, we'll wait till the first Reditor roster releases and then decide for sure. Tha King has currently made 18/30 teams and plans to make all 30.
