Real Atmosphere Patch releast!

Real Atmosphere Patch

This is a big mod for NBA live 08. It replaces most parts of the xditties.ast to create a more realistic and up to date ingame atmosphere. We do our best to make you think you are watching a real NBA game.

What this mod will do:

Replaces frequently played ingame music with actual music.
Replaces all timeout music with music that's used in NBA!
Replaces all player introduction music (play now, season games, playoff, allstar)
Replaces all concluding music.
Will bring in the adams famaly theme.

The patch itself is very big, because it's easier releasing a packed xditties.ast. Our edited file has a file size of 388 MB (222 MB before, so you see how much has been changed). To service you with fastest download possible we packed these 2 files with 7-zip. 7-zip is the most effective packing software. We didn't come up with a SFX archive so you have to use the workaround following. With 7-zip we could reduce filesize by about 80 MB. To make sharing easier we splitted the file into 4 parts. 2 parts of them will be hosted on my fast webspace for a fast time, the other 2 will be on free hosters. (part 3 will be replaced by mediafire, to save capacity)

rap08.7z.001(100MB) - Download (Rapidshare) Mirror (Sendspace)
rap08.7z.002(100MB) - Download (Sendspace) Mirror (Rapidshare)
rap08.7z.003(100MB) - Download (Mediafire) Mirror (Rapidshare)
rap08.7z.004(4MB) - Mirror (Rapidshare) Mirror (Mediafire) Mirror (yy.lv)

or
Mirror (Filefront) FULL

Before you do anything go to NBA live 08\audio\aems directory and backup xditties.ast and xditties.abk.

Then do the following:

1.) Download Mirror (Mediafire) Mirror (yy.lv)
2.) On unpack progress choose directory where files are downloaded in (rap08.7z.001, rap08.7z.002, rap08.7z.003, rap08.7z.004)
3.) Go to this directory.
4.) Run batch.bat
5.) Copy the 2 extracted files to NBA live 08\audio\aems

Some guys even had problems with this. Then try this:

Go to your EA SPORTS\NBA Live 08\audio\aems directory and rename the original files to back them up.

xditties.ast > xditties.ast.bak
xditties.abk > xditties.abk.bak

Find and download HJSplit and WINRAR off the internet. Install/Run HJSplit and select JOIN. Find the rap08.7z.001 file and select it. Once you start it, it will join the 4 001/002/003/004 files in the same directory and notify you when it is done. Install/Run WINRAR. Browse to the folder where the rap08.7z file is and open it with WINRAR. There should be two xditties files, one with an ABK and one with an AST extension. Extract them to your NBA Live 08\audio\aems directory.

no, he will add music to the game !

sick

ohh... ok then.

I'll be glad to help you if you want....

it will be great patch , one of the greatest! if i can manage free time i can help you, just tell me what to do

What i really could need is somebody who is watching regulary NBA games like me who can identify current songs played in arenas.

Like:

Soulja Boy - Crank That
Jim Jones - We Fly High
P.Diddy - Come With Me
Notorious Big - Victory
Akon - Smack That
Twista feat. Lil Jon - Lets go
Lumidee - Never leave u (oh oh)
Will Smith - Switch
Amerie - One Thing

These are songs i definitly know to be played currently. Would ne nice if you could tell me more.

And i will be honest to you, this patch might take long time and will be at least 200 mb big!

the size of this patch is not a problem 4 me cause i've got fast network, and of course i understand that you need to have much time to finish it.


Ok. Couple of songs that I know:

Snoop Dogg - Drop it like it's hot
Snoop Dogg & Dr Dre - 187 or Deep Cover (this songs has 2 titles)
The Game - How We Do

I dont know where to search for the instrumentals... i hope you'll find it.

I wish you luck bro !

Wow! You are really going to put it in game now? Man that would be the coolest thing ever! Good Luck with this bro! Finally someone has stepped up to make this...

Don't be to enthusiastic, because until now nothing is save. I will try my best, but don't be disappointed if i won't succeed...

Ok I'll try watching more warriors Games xD now just I don't remeber the songs

@NJNETSFANFORLIFE

Nice but are theese songs played on basketball games?!? If i make a patch i wanna do a realistic one

hey hawk_3y3, ill definatley get some songs that are played i have NBALP so ill see all of them.

Dude,could you please,make a small patch.Just insert a couple of songs,and then relise it.For me,that will be enough.And then,later,you can make a masterpiece of a patch,with a bunch of new songs.But now,I just need ANY new sounds because I've been listening the same old sounds since live 98!!!!
Is that OK with you?

instrumental
they know-shawty lo
make me better-fabolous feat.neyo
wipe me down-lil boosie webbie foxx
i get money-50 cent
*they play those songs at the ACC(Toronto)*
anyway if u fail,its aight kid cause at least u tried

dont forget to add some rock music...because they dont just play rap all the time in games......

"Ciara - Make It Last Forever" is played quite often,... but I think they only play the small part from the beginning, at least that was the case whenever I heard it.

Good Luck with that patch bro.



Edit: I'd be interested in how to add music,... maybe you could tell me/us when you finished, just in case I'd like to add some of my own music.
You don't have to if you don't want to, but I'd aprreciate it very much.

dont forget to add some rock music...because they dont just play rap all the time in games......

Yes!!Good idea!I remember watching Clevelend boston game,and All the time they played some metallica-like trash riffs.It was awsome!!I think that would be the best music for rivalry games,but maybe it's just me...

it will be great patch , one of the greatest! if i can manage free time i can help you, just tell me what to do

What i really could need is somebody who is watching regulary NBA games like me who can identify current songs played in arenas.

Like:

Soulja Boy - Crank That
Jim Jones - We Fly High
P.Diddy - Come With Me
Notorious Big - Victory
Akon - Smack That
Twista feat. Lil Jon - Lets go
Lumidee - Never leave u (oh oh)
Will Smith - Switch
Amerie - One Thing

These are songs i definitly know to be played currently. Would ne nice if you could tell me more.

And i will be honest to you, this patch might take long time and will be at least 200 mb big!

Mannnnnn convert 50 Cent&Game - How we do this is playing alllll the time in the nba.

Thanks for this bunch of suggestions

If im able to create that patch i will show you the magic of integrating sounds into NBA live 08

But now i have to order my first steps, because it's not that easy...

I'll keep you up to date
