RED MC iff: MSG Mashup, 2K11 Blacktop RSLD p. 4

Postby JaoSming on Sun Mar 16, 2014 2:32 pm

So if you haven't already heard, Vlad is going to be adding iff editing support to RED MC. I've talked about this on the Podcast and probably YouTube at length, but essentially this will bring 2K art editing up to NBA Live PC standards, and then some. The things I have been able to do with the early beta is nothing short of amazing, and I cannot wait to see what you guys do it when he releases it (I'm sure he'll drop by with an ETA).

2K11 Blacktop Court
One of my favorite features of the tool is being able to take parts from one iff file, and put them into another. So once I got the beta I immediately grabbed the hidden 2K11 Blacktop Court from NBA 2K12 (2k11-2k9 iff files are not going to be support at first), extracted the backboard, crowd positions, and arena parts, and imported them over a Rucker Park file from 2K14. Worked like a charm. Yes, it is missing the helicopter with that spotlight and the cars flashing their lights, but the trash can fire animates and the court pavement reflections from the car lights work.

Image

Image


HD Cyberfaces
Of course, the most used feature will be importing in HD textures. Since NBA 2K9 used 1024x1024 textures for faces, I grabbed a CP3 face from HellBoy - viewtopic.php?f=94&t=64756 - and imported into the game. I didn't touch up or update the green texture or make a new alpha channel, but 1024 and larger textures will work.

Image


Beards and Other Textures Too
I don't do CFs. I did take Harden's hair & beard texture and make it 1024x1024 instead of 256x256. I just sharpened the texture a bit, but I'm sure you CF guys will be able to surpass the PS4 Harden soon enough.

Image


Uniforms
Uniforms can get HD'd as well, here is tha_King's (I think at least, sorry if I missed who actually made it) Celtics Uniform

Image

And here is a 2x Resolution 2048x1024 texture for comparison (I dont make uniforms either)

Image


That MyPLAYER Shirt
The Global file can be edited too, so HD accessories will be possible as well as eyes and whatever else is in there you'd like to edit. I just went for that shirt they stick on your MyPLAYER and changed it from 256x256 to 2048x2048 (I didnt account for the stretching at all).

Image
Image


Adding Crowds
I know the High School mod people will like this, but since we can move arenas from one file to another, I imported the practice gym and baskets over Rucker Park (because I have my custom floor crowd file previously made for Rucker and Midnight Ballers). I could have also taken the crowddata and crowdlighting files from Rucker and imported them into the practice file, and that should have worked too.

Image
Image
Image


Other Things to Move
You can also move other parts from one arena to another. So here I took the tables from the 60s Celtics arena and overwrote the sideline dornas in the modern court. A basket modder might find it helpful to only do 1 basket with a modded rim or video ad, then import it into the other arenas without needing to care about different model sizes, and simply reskin as they need to.

Image
Image


Frankenstein It All
And probably the most "Jao" thing I've done is import the Rooftop court inside a stadium. I replaced the dornas with the entire Blacktop arena. Yep. And the baskets too, which I didn't need to do if I didn't want to.

Image

Just wanted to give you guys a preview before Vlad releases it, so you guys can make HD textures, plan mods, or whatever you want. Hope you guys think this is as awesome as I do! :mrgreen:

Just one question it will be like texmod modders can only do texture and you must have REDMC to get it in the game ( not unteressting at all :| ) , or modders can do with it an hd ".iff" file for the community ?

It is an iff file, just like all the others we've been sharing for years, just with higher resolution textures or an additional stadium :P

R4zoR sent me a 1024x1024 tattoo texture for testing purposes

Tonight I'll try and remember to do a stress test on the game engine, making as many textures as I can 4096 in resolution (the default max in the config.cfg)
