Blacktop Revitalization - 4K Unis and Generic Tester - New Backboards!

[JaoSming]

I think these came out better than I was expecting.





All using that linework from the last post, and this is also CAT recolorable.




All t-shirts have been created, so now its these NBA knockoffs, street shorts, NBA knockoff shorts, and then into iff files they go. Then I gotta make new BTR rosters that use them.

[Kevin]

Awesome! Can't wait for the release!

[JaoSming]

Well, here ya go!
NBA Knockoffs and Streetball Apparel
those are the iff files, they need to be a CAT uniform to be recolored properly. I have NOT made a roster using these files yet.

Here are the dds files if anyone wants to play with them (WARNING, 4mb download but 2GB EXTRACTED)
NBA Knockoffs and Streetball Apparel DDS Files

And if you want to make your own stuff
viewtopic.php?f=154&t=95398 / Uniform Creation Package

All of this is of course open source and can be edited, re-released, whatever you all want to do with it.


Going to get to work on a new BTR roster base next time I have time to mod (maybe tonight?) Should be fun!

[Kevin]

How the hell can you compress a 2GB file into 4 mb?

Love this Jao! Always loved your blacktop mods. Your name is big here in Italy because we enjoy your works

[JaoSming]

for those that want to try out those uniforms, I made a quick change to that last NBA Street roster to replace the uniforms with these. I have not done anything to the colors, but it works, just check the alternate uniforms.

[JaoSming]

so here is a generic version for you all to try out. Not quite "Community Ballaz" but instead uses an all generic Association save to get players from. Then I took half of the nicknames in the database and gave them to players with certain criteria, like The Body Guard is the biggest and fattest player iirc. Then I took the other half and randomly gave them out, because the user isn't supposed to know who is good at what.

They wear the knockoff NBA uniforms (home/away/black alt) and the tshirts or blank tops. I tried my best to make uniforms, shorts, and the detail colors correlate a bit rather than be completely random. I also made the shoes generic colors so players weren't wearing orange shoes with an all orange get-up.

Of the 584 players in the roster, only 180 are available, which was chosen by random. I am planning to keep using this set of players in the future of BTR as "locals" for each court and for the career "Just Ball" stuff.









So next up is adding the updated NBA roster as "legend" teams and throwing in a few NBA players into the mix for regular BTR or the Just Ball stuff. Then I finally, FINALLY, get to start making some courts, FINALLY.

[JaoSming]

Updated already

Added NBA teams as "legends" via latest UBR (thanks to and yes permission from HAWK23)
Added all 150? (iirc) nicknamed NBA players to the database of "local" players, this is with their 20% boost from NBA Street because https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOw8aC78LoU
Added 10 of those nicknamed local NBA players to random teams.







Season crashes (there is no AS teams so duuh)
So I gotta fix that, get seasons working for careers
Maybe get things together to easily update with each UBR update
Figure out how to change uniforms with each roster release
Figure out how to change 'local' players with each release
Maybe add FA and decade teams to legends
Make, New, Courts, FINALLY.

[JaoSming]

in case you missed it, new tutorial with 1-texture courts for 4096 resolution - viewtopic.php?f=154&t=96133

so, if I'm going to sure up the 1 texture courts, may as well take advantage of RED MC and make some new backboards using the _lo quality ones from 2K12! These do not have a hidden glass model that cannot be removed, meaning I can do custom backboard styles (visually) and not have a weird reflection around them.







No textures just yet, so yea, these with some HD textures, hellls yea baby

[simonphoenix]

hey jao that stadium is sick when can we have access to it?

[JaoSming]

its the great western forum with no crowd, s591

[BrunoEarth]

Wow, amazing job jao!

[JaoSming]

more previews, resized for caring












So on top of a new default to use (the _lo ruckers have 3 rims on 1 side.... so I can't do my rotation trick, basically I'd have to do my backboard edits twice, instead of once and flipping it around to the other side of the court) I made some new backboards. Small 4'x3.5' ones, a huge 6'x6' one, and a redo of the curved one (remember, no texture imports yet)

So next I'll either work on different rims or supports, then I'll be able to combine the three at will. Then I finally get to figure out wtf I'm doing with environments. MLB vistas or NBA stadiums (HD texture editing either way). Then I'll have a pretty damn solid foundation to work off of to make courts quickly, and hopefully a nice template to share as well.

If you want to try the untextured backboards, use them, release a court with them before me, etc, they are attached below, in RED MC export format.

That scoreboard backboard doesn't work, does it?

[JaoSming]

That scoreboard backboard doesn't work, does it?

correct, its just used to I have a texture to make backboards like these

[simonphoenix]

sorry for asking such a noob question but which part of the stadium iff file do we import your new backboards into?

[JaoSming]

usually the 3rd to last one, that number can change if you aren't using the compressed file with names.

so usually the last 3 are
baskets DCFB21EF SCNE
intro_mascot_spot DF6539E4 SCNE
items E11EE94D SCNE

you want the DCFB21EF one, baskets.

[simonphoenix]

thanks Jao

:cussing: 2 weeks.
So again, F the MLB vistas. I have tried so hard and just F it. I have tried everything from mixing the huge textures from the city idea with the rucker near-court environment with MLB vista building backgrounds, to the simple midnight ballers courts with the MLB vista buildings to add an environment. There is simply no good way to implement them that makes it worth doing for this or a true NBA Street mod.....

Well Jaosming... I know you would have loved to finish the MLB Vistas project...
Here is the first release:

It all looks very dope bro. I'll finally be free to try it out tonight. I'll post some screens. Thanks for my cameo

[kalianaboy]

How do we try it? I mean if i want to play it as in backtop mode,what is the "s" and "f" file names?

[TGsoGood]

Did you download it?

the stadiums are named "sOldTown_day" and "sOldTown_night"
The floor file is "fOldTown"

rename the files however you would like.

[RICH72601]

Do you have frame rate issues whenever you play on the court?

[TGsoGood]

rich, I get a minor drop. I will try to send you a different outdoor environment that hopefully will not have that issue.
