Well, I'm ready to get in that work. New batch of Legends faces will be on deck as soon as I can start modding

I guess all your 2K15 CF's are compatible with 2K16, but we have to wait TBM and Greg to confirm everything

[Venoms]

[Davon6]

So, the old NBA explorer can be used for 2k16?

No. But I think cyberfaces are in same dimensions.

Look away.. im reporting in a modding thread. whats your problem? I've been a member of nlsc a lot longer than you. respect your elders

[TBM]

You have 45 posts. You're obviously either really dumb or a troll.

Or more likely, both.

Idk if you already know this, but there seems to be a file called "manifest" in the main folder that lists all the files in the game. This is an example of how some of the files look:
I assume these are some Miami Heat files

0M pa_audio_10.iff 14749705936 229991
0M png5005.iff 14749935927 2168943

I hope this somehow helps the process

Don't know this guy but here he is xD


I haven't checked much further than that, it seems like iff's are gone. That means that my code needs some severe unload of all the idiot iff parsing functions. It may sound easy but it's not...
I also can't be 100% sure about that. I located some archives that refuse to open, i'll have to take a look.

[iamSamke]

No iffs? Interesting
Comments column? Is that like notes? If it is, awesome, I was about to suggest that!

Tony Wroten.

Well i had implemented that since last year, but i didn't release any version with it.

I'm very curious about what Syncinatti, posted. I'll take a look on the manifest file. If it contains information about all the files in the game, then i'll implement a parser in the app to load all the filenames from there.

Why do 2K always have to make things difficult for modders? Especially for Greg

As Greg reported this can be very very intersting.....

Well i would say that this year its much easier, last year the whole situation was a nightmare. The point is that my code works with the nightmare, and not with the easy case, so it needs a lot of fixing xD

Other than that, it seems like that weird texture swizzling that was going on last year, is not here anymore. i can say that the files and the data are MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better organized. Every descriptive json file is together with its appropriate binary file, and that's a huge relief especially on the model's perspective. It seems though that the model format is a bit changed, i get some artifacts on the loader, i should also take a closer look on blender for that.

Do you think that 3D editing will be possible this year?

[gregkwaste]

I'm praying about that

[gregkwaste]

Syncinatti was absolutely right
Finally some proper file names :D

I repeat once again this is huge!

Becouse we all know png1013.iff is Lebron and so on......I also saw stuff like gamedata.iff listed so......just great

What was in 0M last year? I've just checked: It was Hornets. But now it's Heat, which means that there is another archive for some other things.
I really hope Euroleague and Retro teams have separate archives. (Which makes sense, cause there are 12 more teams than last year)

Maumau, where did Syncinatti wrote that? And who is he? I'm not so informed
