Guys I don't know if I should post it here, but I'm having a problem with Cheat Engine and 2k18, and I don't know why, because it worked perfectly with 2k17, but this year I've tried all the CE tables that have been realeased and it never works and it's very frustrating.

I'm kinda new so I don't know how to attach a screenshot of the problem, but basicly with the ARENAS table instead of "Type: String[10]" and "Value: f000" I have "Type: Binary:0->idi" and "Value: ??".

Can someone please tell me what do I have to do to fix it? :(

Every time a patch is released you have to update the cheat engine table. If you backed up all the.exe files, use the one from 10/13 and the cheat table will work

Thanks,and by the way your tutorials are awesome :applaud:
But, from what you've said I get that ,since I bought my steam copy last week, I will need to find other method to copy players or edit team names, right?
Or is there anyway to download older .exe versions via Steam?
Sorry for basicly shitposting but I don't know any other site or people to ask about this stuff.

I've been extracting some logo files this evening (chiefly stuff like this year's 2K Pro-Am logo), and I was having some trouble opening the DDS files. After a bit of searching around, I found this plugin for paint.net:
https://github.com/dtzxporter/FileTypeDDS

With that installed, NBA 2K18's DDS files are opening just fine. Just thought I'd post it here in case anyone else is having issues opening them. No renaming required; just install the latest version of paint.net, make sure it isn't running while you install the DDS plugin, and then you'll be able to open the files as before.

Did anyone found a way to make the Pistons and Magic arenas mods work with the current 0A archive instead of using Lagoa's 1.02 0A archive?

So there is no problem to open now dds. The issue is that I can't save the new image properly... It doesn't show in the game or it crashs... What am I doing wrong ?

I'm afraid I can't help you with that. I've just been extracting the textures. Someone else might be able to point you in the right direction.

Here is my little contribution to the dds file situation. This plugin is nice

After saving your file, you need to rename it from .dds2 to .dds. And that's it ;-)

I don't know how you can get it but what are you trying to do?


I'd like to make a roster based on your Unlocked Teams roster, in wich I'd replace the historical teams and hidden teams with ACB, Euroleague,Eurocup teams, also some teams from CBA, PBA to make something like a World Roster i guess, and the all-time would be replaced by national teams

I tried that one as it was mentioned earlier in the topic, but I wasn't able to open the DDS files with it. Once again though, I was only opening and saving them as PNG files to use elsewhere.

Over the past few weeks, NBA Explorer has suddenly stopped working for me. When I loan archives it's just blank. Has anyone else had this issue or know what might be the problem?

It was working fine, then suddenly not. The archive headings show, but there is no data loaded. I reinstalled the explorer and verified integrity of game files through Steam; still not working.

For anyone who has a lot of mods and wants an easier way to swap out mods

Here is a tutorial for using JSGME (mod enabler) for the current gen of 2K games on PC.
With this method, you don't have to switch modded folders to swap full mods
