5on5 courts(Street & NEW Gym)+Jordan "un-shiny"

by **bchogan** on Fri Mar 14, 2003 7:47 am

*Updated March 20th*
--My Auto-Install patch of RimRocka's 5-on-5 outdoor (street) patch has been fixed (V1.1). I've also changed the court slightly (new bleachers + I moved that tree the players had to walk through to get to the court).
--I made a new 5-on-5 court patch: 5-on-5 in the Practice Gym. Has the same type of Auto-Install as the 5-on-5 Street patch.
--I've updated my Michael Jordan face patch (v2.1). IDue to popular demand, I've decreased the amount of "shine" on Jordan's head, & updated his skin color, too.
PLEASE READ THE README!! FILES COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING!

oh my god. that is just amazing. great job bchogan! i had to look twice to see if it was a real-life pic. of him or not :cool:

by **BodyBump** on Fri Mar 14, 2003 9:27 am

wow the best mj ive ever seen... hmm... one question..whats n his forehead? :?:

by **Tony** on Fri Mar 14, 2003 9:28 am

Great work... the MJ face looks very photo-realistic... but won't he look a bit weird with that shiny head compared to the rest of the players? He might look very much like a klingon to them...

Great work on the court too, I'm still awaiting a Madisong Square Garden update... you should do a fix of that desaturated orange EA put there...

by **GoDz-SoN** on Fri Mar 14, 2003 9:51 am

Man..amazing Jordan, really nicely done, but like everyone said his head is "real shiny". :lol:

by **bchogan** on Fri Mar 14, 2003 10:12 am

Thanks, all.

Actually, he only looks "weird" compaired to other players because the other players don't look real. Most of the faces EA used are not lit like the players are in the areans (that's not a dig at EA; they have to do 300+ faces and can only use the photos that the NBA gives them). I used a photo of Jordan during a game, so that his cyberface would look real, but I did reduce the amount of "glare" that is produced by Jordan's sweaty forehead so that he doesn't stick out in the game.
If I reduce the sweat glare too much, it doesn't look as real, and doesn't look like Jordan. Check out some ingame pics (or watch a game) of Jordan and other bald guys to see what I'm talking about (this isn't meant as a dig in any way, just in case somebody takes it the wrong way).
BTW, I'm not sure which court I'll work on next.

i think u should do an Atalanta Court

by **Tony** on Fri Mar 14, 2003 12:37 pm

I didn't want you to take it the wrong way whatsoever bchogan, as i said... I still like the patch very much

Not your fault EA made unrealistic non-shining heads for those other 300+ players

I guessed you used a photo of MJ for the patch, because of those veins on the side of the head... a real nice touch I must say...

For your next patch, I beg you to consider doing the most famous arena in the world... the MSG...

PLEASE

Since I just checked the files, I wanted to add something... since it might actually easen the installation method for inexperienced users... you might want to fix it in the .zip file...

bchogan in his ReadMeFirst!.txt file wrote:**Untested method--Use at own risk*** If you want the custom eyes to only appear on MJ and not all of the brown-eyed players, rename "ey00.fsh" to "ey04.fsh". Using a database editor such as MS Access, edit all the "players.dbf" files in the "MyDocuments\NBA Live 2003 and change all of Michael Jordan's "EYECOLOR" settings to "4".

You can just name the ey00.fsh into beye.fsh, and put it into the mijorda folder, and it will only appear on Jordan, without any dbf editing. Same goes for the mouth file... just put the bmou.fsh into the same folder as mijorda.fsh and mijorda_acc.fsh, therefore you won't have the same mouth (the darkened ones you made for him) on any other players but Michael...

I was going to post the same thing!!!

by **Bill Russell** on Fri Mar 14, 2003 2:03 pm

Amazing work Bchogan!

by **paseo85** on Fri Mar 14, 2003 2:43 pm

by **karimm33** on Fri Mar 14, 2003 2:52 pm

Amazing! by far the best mj ive seen. The forehead is really shinny tho. I dunno if its the lighting effects or what but other then that its awesome!

by **JP_Frost** on Sat Mar 15, 2003 1:31 am

The jordan link doesn't work anymore. Can you mail it to me ? jimvander_voort@hotmail.com

From what I hear the jordan is really good, so...I'm anxious.

by **Kob Master** on Sat Mar 15, 2003 3:59 am

u should dark him, definitly... the skin and the head if possible...

by **Heiks** on Sat Mar 15, 2003 6:59 am

wow what a MJ face!!!

if you'd make a custom skincolor that looks as real as the face, it would be the best player update ever!!!

keep up the good work, BC!!!

by **JP_Frost** on Sat Mar 15, 2003 7:19 am

I got to download your mj patch, which is mad nice btw, but I can't seem to play a game with the wizards anymore. When the loading screen comes up ( with the little orange player icons ) it stops halfway through and sends me back to windows. Does anyone else have this problem or did I do something wrong installing the patch ? I didn't do anything differently than I usually do and I can see the face in practise mode, just can't play a game with Washington.

Please help me.

by **Jowe** on Sat Mar 15, 2003 9:06 am
