Crazy Stuffs!

Hey Jaoming! First of all i love all your street mod specially back in 213 that we can able to play mycareer into street not the stadium courts. having said that can you do that again using that courts the last photo, it would be great if you do that for me. Thanks looking forward... sorry for my bad english

I replied to your other thread, I personally dont care too much for that court since the buildings and stuff are in the crowd...maybe I'll make it the all star court or something and remove the sunset effects.

this is awesome..so editing all the texture files in the global.iff file is possible now jao?can you show some preview if you change the resolution the sizes of the specular_map or cube maps in the global files?

Do you have textures you'd like me to import into those slots for testing? Because if I just HD what I have, it doesn't really do much of a change. But yes, we can change the resolution of those. You reminded me that 2k13's global file in 2k14 has the jersey reflections instead of the sleeved ones....I wanted to track down which part controlled that.

also if its possible from moving files to another can u try like import the the model of last years tight jersey by bliss to the model with cloth physics.maybe that can be done.sorry for my bad english.

unfortunately importing a static model over a cloth model does this


the jersey doesn't move. Unfortunately, I tried replacing sleeved uniforms with the retro uniform tops so we could have a tight static uniform with moving shorts, and it still crashes just like if we do it with RED MC.

Not gonna lie, had me fooled. Great face Kidow
I can only imagine what cf makers will do with hd faces...

Wait, 2k10 used higher res textures?

I guess 2k really did dumb down the games to make the "Next gen" version look more impressive compared to the 360/PS3 versions..

Yea ive played 2k9 quite a bit this year. animations are terrible but graphics blow 2k14 out of the water.

[JaoSming]

well at least the textures did, enough for me to install it again

[PepsiWithCoke]

Jao, Are you going to upload that MyPlayer shirt?

[nataeos]

Freaking awesome!!

But please Jao refrain yourself to post too much pics!! Now we simply can't wait for this to be released

By the way is there any expected date? Will it be built with the same Reditor we already have for rosters... or a separate one?
I just imagine that there's a lot of work behind all of that.

Cheers guys

This actually happened, because they added other stuff to the game, and DVDs, used by 360, aren't big enough, so they had to reduce sizes of some textures among other measures (like changing compression algos, etc.).

IFF functionality will be integrated with the already existing RED MC. No ETA yet.

[Wilt Chamberlain]

Big Thanks for your work vl@d

[JaoSming]

Jao, Are you going to upload that MyPlayer shirt?

eh, probably not, considering it is stretched out and such

[ryan4889]

Big thanks Jao and Vlad!!! ...this game is about to become a whole nother animal

Heybro jao is this free or we need to buy this?

[JaoSming]

Heybro jao is this free or we need to buy this?

just like RED MC for rosters, pay for licenses to do stuff, but you can release the files and anyone can use them

JaoSming, don't worry man! that's my jersey. base on the logo texture and the warmups. btw! when would this drop? this is cray. and for the stress test result we or you should set an maximum resolution, so those who don't have a good rig can't handle the HD textures.

[Orion Pax]

Can you edit the number/logo placement in the jerseys?

[tatlopuyo]

Jao can you try to put 2k9 global textures to 2k14 global textures and see if it makes any difference in the graphics?

[Bliss]

Jao Can we replace the normal dornas to electronic ones with this tool?

[JaoSming]

There is no real benefit going to the 8192x4096 resolution IMO, I think the 4096x2048 is good enough. We can do custom resolutions that are in between that too, it just has to be multiples of 4 or something, I forget, its a dds thing.

Can you edit the number/logo placement in the jerseys?

No. We still need to find where in the file that data is stored. It should be easy enough to locate now, so I'll try and give a look for it tonight.

Jao can you try to put 2k9 global textures to 2k14 global textures and see if it makes any difference in the graphics?

I'm sure they would, but my time is limited as is, and I dont really want to try and figure out which 2K9 texture lines up with 2K14 textures to do that.

Jao Can we replace the normal dornas to electronic ones with this tool?

I think that is controlled in the stadium file, so I could try importing an electronic "items" part into a scrolling file and see if that changes. Added to the list.


Still trying to find time to figure out where that reflection model is in the global.

The same reason I prefer to play with photographic CFs in 2K11 over cartoonish CFs in 2K14, not to mention the gameplay.

Exactly what I was thinking. Hope you find it and the bug where the players are wearing a shirt in their reflections. *fingers crossed*

[JaoSming]

FUCK YEA, SERIOUSLY.



Those damn sleeves were one of my biggest pet peeves this year. Ahhhhh.

Didn't use the tool to find it even....stumbled upon it searching "play" for players in my list thread.

Both are located right next to the player models in the file itself, exported from 2K13 (part 928), imported into 2K14, and DONE. The 2K14 file is bigger, because of the sleeves, so you could try doing a hex part replace and add the needed 00's after the 2K13 file to make it all the same size. I'll release this global file, with TP's lightened reflections, once the tool is released though. HELL YEA.

Great work Jao! Super excited to see what comes of these mods. This game plays overall better then Next gen, we just gotta HD it
