Who's Magic court is that?

BTW, fantastic global:

[stielar]

Cam I want to request from you to keep the default lower body option despite the outcome of the poll. While I do like how the body/shoe edits look like in a static image, when in motion the animation is a bit weird, as if the players are people with moving disabilities, it's as if their legs don't move through the whole spectrum. There's also some animation frame skipping from time to time.

So please include the default lower body/shoes because I want to be able to enjoy your sweat/lightning effects but also to have normal animations in the game. If the lower bodies/shoes animated properly I'd vote to keep those edits, but for now I'm voting for default bodies.

Global is great but, have you replaced skinny body type with normal or it's just me?

[12scratch]

Hey cam, love your work. I'm still a fan of 2k13, I was wondering if there is someway that I can convert your global to work with 2k13, or is this not possible?

2k13 is the same as 2k14 only in 2k14 u have more animations and better gameplay, I suggest u to move on and stick with 2k14 bro

As for Cam's future globals I suggest to keep latest body updates or improve them, legs are just fine in this update... I think skintones, eyes and shadowing must be improved in next version

I have a question as well, so 2k14 next gen has this slightly foggy background which is cool and more realistic, is it possible to make this happen in 2k14 current gen?

take a look at these pics


and there is 2k14 current gen background (it looks to colorful and dark)


hope u guys got my point and it would be awesome to have this in next update... if it's possible offcourse
btw do u have any update on tight jerseys?

great job Cam and keep up the good work bro.

[hot_wyre21]

hope you include the shoe contour edits in the official release, custom shoes come out looking so much better with the edits

[[Cam]]

guess long people have thing leggs in general. This maybe makes it hard to make exceptions but thats the way it is... googled for some images and was quite shocked about there thin legs.. not like soccerplayers for sure

Yup! The taller they get the thinner the legs, as I've said before, basketball players are just glorified track and field athletes. No matter how muscular or heavy-set they are, the legs are only going to be a certain thickness.

More so Muscle wise but I went to look at a picture of Curry and it seemed accurate to me

Eh actually I made a mistake so I know what you're seeing, I'll explain below what happened lol

Terrific global Cam! Love it!

Glad you like it bro! Hopefully I can get those tights implemented for the official release

Looks good even CB

Awesome screens as always

Who's Magic court is that?

BTW, fantastic global

Thanks bro, honestly, I think it's 2k's online update version. I usually use iamLillard's courts but when I had to reinstall windows on my mac I forgot to replace all of the files that are updated by online data.

Default lower bodies are more than likely going to be one of the top 4 so that's not going to be an issue. The animation problems you speak of I'm aware of, that's why I mentioned maybe scaling the bodies in a certain way so that when 2k makes them proportional to their environment the frame skips and such will be fixed.

Global is great but, have you replaced skinny body type with normal or it's just me?

Thanks for pointing this out, it's not that it was replaced with normal body type, it was however replaced with 2k's default skinny arms which are bulky like the normal arms in my global. I've re-created the skinny body mod and updated the global.

Hey cam, love your work. I'm still a fan of 2k13, I was wondering if there is someway that I can convert your global to work with 2k13, or is this not possible?

Well there's a lot that would go into this. The body mods and such are only compatible with 2k14 due to the new layering system of the n2kms/3D models. Plus all of SJ's hex edits are in the base of the global meaning he'd have to make those specific edits to a 2k13 global (which he has done from my understanding.)

great job Cam and keep up the good work bro.

I see what you're saying, it has a stadium feel to it. What I mean by stadium feel is the foggy environment within the stadium that John Doe and maybe some others have done in the past with stadium files. SJ released his version of the Miami Heat stadium feel with that fog-like environment. I don't know how it looks during gameplay though. Tones and shadowing are in SJ's court as I use his bases and entrust him with this as it's his specialty. I can however edit occlusions which do have an effect on skintones and shading in a way. I'll experiment for the official release. As far as the tight jersey mod, I'm still waiting on someone to be able to crack the cloth_shorts.iff file for me to allow me to import the shorts I've created and be able to have the tight jersey mod work correctly. It'll take hex editing and hacking that I don't know of but I was told the necessary tools are unavailable to us at the moment; I also need said tools to make Tights (longer knee sleeves) replace knee braces like I planned. Red MC will eventually allow us to edit .iff's so I'm told, so the Tight Jersey Mod is on hold for the time being

hope you include the shoe contour edits in the official release, custom shoes come out looking so much better with the edits

Yeah I can include them throughout. Depending on the lower bodies picked will limit me to which can have the contours due to some vertices overlapping and such in Blender.


Thank you to AGR for pointing out the skinny body type mishap. If you were noticing more bulk on players than you're used to, don't work it wasn't your imagination, I had accidentally replaced my previous skinny upper bodies with 2k's default skinny upper bodies which are a little thicker. I made the edits real quick to make arm sleeves longer and have uploaded the global in v0.5b So if you've downloaded the global already, to correct the body type issue for slim players (which there are a lot of) download from below!

Sorry for mix-up guys, guess it got lost in the shuffle

Dedication Global BETA v0.5b

Thanks for replying Cam
I am going to contact SJ

Link is working fine

I don't think we'll get too much better out of this current engine:

[Venoms]

cam...can i have your global vBETA 0.5b without TNT texture,.........coz im using FOX scoreboard...thanks and love your work

[12scratch]

Thanks for the reply cam, I wish I knew how to edit those very stuff so it could work with 2k13, I guess I'll just have to move on.

Fixed the link, as Arius said, the https just needed to be removed. So everything should be okay now!

Lookin good man!

cam...can i have your global vBETA 0.5b without TNT texture,.........coz im using FOX scoreboard...thanks and love your work

I'll release the official without the textures, the TNT textures mess up so many layers within layer 313 of the global that it'd take me longer to remove and replace the textures than it would to import my global edits from scratch. I've been modding non-stop the past day and such so I just need a break for now; SJ's also stated that he'll be releasing his official AC4 soon so hopefully within the next 48 hours I'll have that to import all my mods into and create and finish the official dedication global. Hope you understand; thanks for the support as always

No problem man, I understand how it is enjoying a previous version. If it wasn't so much work and compatibility issues for me and SJ to just convert everything I'd be happy to do so.

Well guys I'm just about worn out for the day, but I wanted to leave you guys with one last preview of something I'm working on. It may or may not happen, and may just be something I'll leave you guys to import on your own. Anyway, with the way the vote is trending, Lagoa's next-gen arm sleeves are going to be a guaranteed version of the Dedication Global regardless of the lower body attached to it. With that being said, those that use Lagoa's Next-Gen Arm sleeves know that the bump created affects ALL arm sleeves, including just normal arm sleeves and Adidas tech fit D-Howard sleeves. Damian Lillard wears a certain arm sleeve like the D.Rose gear I created with the same pattern and such, and I figured why not replace one of the dead arm sleeve textures with said arm sleeve.


It would conflict with most roster edits that have players wearing normal arm sleeves at the moment which is the only downfall. Most of us use Meds roster from what I know so maybe he'd be willing to just change over all arm sleeve wearers to padded arm sleeve, leaving the arm sleeve accessory for the Adidas Arm Sleeve I've created. I've also edited the green map for normal arm sleeves which in fact are linked to D-Howards Arm sleeves giving them the signature Adidas bump; though we all know there is no pad, at least it will be a brand-accurate pad. My only problem I've encountered thus-far is getting the texture to appear correctly with Black.


Unlike my D.Rose gear I've created this to be able to change color based on whatever it's assigned. I might have some work to do to get it to work properly, or toss the idea all together but we'll see. I've had this idea in the works for a while and finally got around to making it, although I'm unsure what other athletes aside from Lillard wear the sleeve, but it gives some variety for maybe your my-player or special gear edits you may want to give your team


Let me know what you think, and continue to vote in the poll/give feedback on the global!
Thank you!

[GloryD]

Ben McLemore wears this as well I believe

no problem...thanks for your reply.....maybe i'll wait for the official.......thanks

[seanbarkley]

Those new arm sleeves look great Cam! I just ask you if you could leave a normal plain arm sleeve without hex pad because several players wear this model.

And a little heads up: love how most of the shoes look with ur edits, but very low shoes look a little bit "smashed". Take a look at KD VI for example.

[Brianbscotty]

Cam, this is great! I love the colors, and how the players just "pop." I found myself getting distracted by the visuals, and losing! I love the new lower legs. Not sure how I feel about the new shoes. There seems to be a flatness to them, that almost looks like clown shoes. They kind of look too long now. If you are set on them, small niggle on my part. Not enough to detract from the overall experience. Overall, I agree. This is about the most anyone could expect out of this engine. Awesome work! Seeing as I am in the "I hate MyGM" crowd, I'm praying that you, as well as the other very talented modders, keep this game up to date, and tweak it to it's fullest. Unless there is an Association mode in the PC version next year, this is my only basketball fix. Thanks for all of your incredible work, my man!

[fordtech99]

awesome work... i love the new legs but i do agree with brianscotty about the shoe deformation also the socks on some legs seem to be protruding at the top as if the sock is a solid cylinder with the leg being considerably smaller going through it also the spot on the left tricep that you already mentioned... sorry to be critical and yes i do understand that this is a BETA thus not finished... with that being said knowing the perfectionist that you are the finished product will be GREAT

[[Cam]]

Ben McLemore wears this as well I believe

Nice, hopefully source photos of some other athletes wearing them will surface

Anytime man

Thanks man, I intend to leave a plain arm sleeve with out hex padding, I just have to decide how I'm going to go about it. In the past I've followed Lagoa's lead with this being his modification and let both the padded arm sleeve and normal arm sleeve hold the same textures. There will be at least one Normal Arm version and I'll for certain have the normal arm sleeve textures in those. If the "bump" in the arm can be overlooked by the masses without a texture I don't mind including normal arm sleeve textures in the Next-Gen arm sleeved versions as well. As far as the shoes, I notice what you mean, and I believe it's 2 things coming into effect. 1. I made the shoes slightly larger for proportion but low cut shoes on taller players look really long and flat 2. With the longer legs, 2k makes proportion of the bodies to the point where it's as if the shoes are sinking into the ground and become 2D rather than 3D. I'll be sure to perfect it for the official release though, I think simply moving the shoes up the leg having the bottom of the "leg" layer in Blender touch the bottom of the shoes will hopefully fixing things, if not I'll just scale the legs down a bit.

Glad you're liking things bro! The shoes aren't necessarily new, they just seem to have a different dimension to them with the elongated legs. They're the same contour I used in the previous BETA's just slightly larger, I'll probably shrink them back down a bit and tinker with their positioning to get things looking right I'm committed to keeping things up to date in every way I can, with my tight jersey mod, Charlotte Hornets Project, and other stuff I have planned hopefully taking flight soon I'll be sure to do everything within my abilities to make PC 2K14 better MY PS4 is in the mail, I hope to get 2K14 though I've heard various bad things about it lol.

Thanks man, yeah I'll be sure to get it all on point for the official release. No need to apologize for the things you pointed out, I need you guys' observations to help make things better as I'm always in Blender and GIMP looking at things, never actually playing the game lol. Let me know which socks and which body types you see this with and I'll check it out in Blender. I'm still trying to find a way to fix the area on the tricep as it also effects arm sleeves; I may have to create upper bodies from default much like I did with lower bodies and see if that can maybe fix things

[spiderman333]

Hi sir Cam, nice to hear from you again.. I hope you're already ok.. God Bless.. always take good care.. health is wealth.. Sir Cam my vote is Normal Arm Sleeves - Cam's New Lower Body, Gear, Shoe Contour Edits.. I really love your global.. THE BEST OUT THERE.. LIVING LEGEND GLOBAL MASTER Cam..

ADVANCE HAPPY NEW YEAR ALSO.. The Community is truly blessed having you doing all global releases.. and ofcourse other modders here in the Forum.. thank you again 1Million times..lol

[spiderman333]

Sir Cam, If it's ok I hope you can also release a global that doesn't have tnt texture.. tanx in advance.. god bless

[ecwrulz91]

Wow Cam, those Adidas arm sleeve textures look great. And most people might not agree but i could care less for the normal arm sleeve texture. I'd personally use that for the Adidas arm sleeve. But if you don't want to replace anything, you can just upload the DDS and let us replace what we want. That'd be nice.

[iPenny24]

Thanks for the released... i read all of the comments and seems like everyone is having a little bit issue. For me the upper body edit was fantastic its really good in my eyes although i notice some bugs in lower body. Sorry cam i just have to say it.. 1st the shoe contour edit maybe you over do it, the low-cut shoe like kobe shoe its low-cut but in game looks like mid-cut. 2nd i'll post a photo and see the shadow of the shoe. it looks weird in intant replay zoom in to the shoe it was like evry time i rotate the shadow follows, its like the lights is coming from the screen. 3rd i hope in your final released you'll get rid of that tnt mod cuz it ruins it. 4th my vote is lagoa's next gen arm sleeves - longer lower body edit.
