Andrew's Updates | Bulls-Wizards Jersey

so this mod will be a bunch of rosters with art for each year? that would be quite a project. as players aged and hairstyles changed and stuff...
either way good luck!!! sounds like you are taking on a lot here... im sure most of us will understand on the wait time for the release...

No, just the one roster, containing 13 Bulls teams and two Wizards teams (from each of Michael Jordan's 15 seasons in the league), with a selected opponent from each season. Doing multiple full season rosters would be too much work to take on.

I've made a fair amount of progress on the roster in the last week or so. Since it's starting to come together, and it's a larger project, I'm spinning it off into its own thread here in the NBA Live 08 section.

Since it seems a couple of people are still trying their hand at current season updates, I thought I'd see if I could contribute in some small way. To that end, here are some converted player-to-coach faces that will hopefully at least serve as placeholders for now. Batch files to update the coaches.dbf file are also included, so extract the faces and headshapes to your sgsm folder, extract the batch files to a roster save folder, run the batch files, run the game, load the roster, and there they'll be. Credits to BAYAG and S_Brat for a couple of the faces; Fred Hoiberg is taken from NBA Live 2005.

Converted Coach Face Pack 2016



- Derek Fisher
- Fred Hoiberg

Luke Walton is included in case you'd rather have him on the sidelines for the Golden State Warriors until Steve Kerr returns.

Note that the headshapes aren't perfect, as we have to use what's already there when it comes to coach headshapes, so I've tried to match them as best I can. If you've got any other suggestions for coach headshapes to use, let me know so I can check them out and update the pack as necessary. As I said though, hopefully they'll at least be satisfactory as placeholders.

Looks great! I hope an improved roster comes out and hopefully jerseys will too.
I have one question for jerseys: Can you use NBA Live 06 jerseys in 08, or do you have to convert them?

Thanks.

They need to be converted. NBA Live 07 and NBA Live 08 jersey files are 100% compatible with each other, and NBA Live 2005 and NBA Live 06 jersey files are 100% compatible with each other (for the most part; sometimes you need to resize the numbers). But there needs to be conversion for 2005/06 jerseys to work with 07/08.

Do you know the method of doing them?

Basically, it involves exporting and importing the textures, and creating all the numbers, since NBA Live 2005 and 06 jerseys have textures for 0-9 (putting them together as necessary for double-digit numbers), whereas NBA Live 07 and 08 have textures for 00-99.

I haven't ever done much with jerseys, so I can't be more specific than that, or offer up a guide to the best method of creating all the numbers. I believe there are resources for that in the Tutorials subforum though.

fantastic!!! thanks so much andrew!!!

You're welcome!

I've updated the Coach Face Pack for 2016 with a face for Tyronn Lue. I've taken his face from 08 and given him Chris Whitney's hair from 2005, and I feel the texture's come out alright. There isn't a fantastic headshape option for him, but I've picked the one that seems to work best, and included a couple of other possibilities that you can swap in and out if you like. Alternatively, you can have no headshape .ebo file for Lue at all, as the default headshape looks OK as well. Again, hopefully a viable placeholder for now. A batch file is included, which you can use to automatically add him as the coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Sorry, I can't make faces from scratch. As noted earlier, these are player faces that I've converted by re-sizing and re-importing the textures, occasionally with some very basic manipulation of the textures.

Earl Watson has been added to the coach face pack, v1.2. I've left Jeff Hornacek in the pack, but there's a batch file to add Watson; just don't run the batch file for Hornacek as well, or you'll add him as the coach of the Suns instead.

Converted Coach Face Pack 2016 V1.2

- Tyronn Lue
- Earl Watson
- Luke Walton

Luke Walton is included as he spent half the season as the Golden State Warriors' interim coach, filling in for Steve Kerr. He's still in the pack in case you want to use him.

Those look good Andrew!

Thanks! It's a shame we're limited to what's available as far as headshapes are concerned. Lue in particular I just haven't been able to get right.

nice work on the logos andrew!! did you by any chance make the new logos for the NO Pelicans? i didnt find them in this thread.

I haven't made any team logo updates for a while, but I was hoping to give them a shot. The Suns, Pelicans, Hornets, Wizards, Bucks, Raptors, Hawks, 76ers, and Clippers are all on the list when I can make some time, along with updated logo boot screens.
