In the jersey iff, edit the RDAT file and change the short type to CLASSIC or RETRO. Not sure which one, but it's at least one of those. Could be both.

Thank You. I found this setup, but I have another problem. I can't create good iff file. If I changed shorts Chicago Bulls 2016's to CLASSIC, my players are invisible. I'm using NBA2K17 explorer 0.52 and NBA2k17 iff editor
I have a codes:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "myqmodels.py", line 1285, in columnCount
IndexError: list index out of range
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "myqmodels.py", line 1285, in columnCount
IndexError: list index out of range
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "myqmodels.py", line 1285, in columnCount
IndexError: list index out of range"

For example:

I download face0948.iff shaq face, and copy to waigua plugin, and shaq face is changed.
But.....
If I open face0948.iff with NBA2k17 iff editor and export face_color_o.magic.dds and (no edit) import back, I have a code: "struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4"
If I'am ignoring and save file, my NBA2k17 iff editor can't open this file again, because "struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4".
If I'm starting a game, Shaq is invisible.

I can unpack iff file, but I can't pack iff file back.

I tried with 7zip like this: viewtopic.php?f=222&t=100229
unpack iff file, no edit, and pack again.
but I have the same problem, players are invisible

Does changing team names still work after the last patch ? because either I can't get it to work or it doesn't work anymore

I see people asking if the team renaming still works. It definitely does. The jersey section (and therefore access. colors) are the only things we can't do anymore.

You can't change accessory colours anymore due to an update to force all rosters to use the same accessory/sock/shoe colours etc.

But i need your help :oops:

So I can't find the entire name of the classic teams.

The year is stored as a different value type. I don't know which type but I remember from old gen RED MC tool.

Anybody have any tips or knowledge if this is still working?

I have Cheat Engine 6.7 and I will open that, then open 2k17, then attach Cheat Engine, then go into a new MyLeague with completely basic settings, other than selecting a Roster File and then only selecting the 76ers. I'll open up re-branding and stop at the team identity tab. Then I will do my initial search for "76ers" in a text search. I then tab back to 2k17 and change the name to something unique. I tab back to Cheat Engine and do the next search for that same exact thing and nothing comes up, even if I do a New Search. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.


Sorry for being so late to this, but thanks for any help I might get.
