EXTREME ANIMATIONS 2.0 MASSIVE PREVIEWS!!

[Modifly]

dam he looks sexy

haha.. thanks.

brother can i have a tissue paper? my nose was still bleeding..

i am not really a rockets fan so i could not give you a comment on how or what to improve in luther's headshape..

i only noticed his eyes, the left one is smaller.

your sigshots are great! i hope i had time and talent to those. can i have a request brother? how about the sigshot of rick barry?

you may not have the tissue paper.

Seriously speaking man, you dont need to give me a comment on Luther's headshape. The guy is done.

Rick Barry? If I can find a decend video of him shooting then I'll look into it for you. I'm not really into retro players but I dont deny requests.

Rick barry only shoots like that when he is on freethrow's but on a normal style of shooting it is different..

He is one of the best free throw there is in the NBA history (considering his odd looking free throw style)

but I think it's ok since c-cage requested his sigshots. I'll use the video when he is shooting as a reference if I can find one.

How exactly does he shoots his freethrows? Did he just threw it up from that position or what? It looks weird enough from the way he hold the ball.

[GH33]

nice head, not great... but nice

i hope you could improve the sig shot of my favs kobe and GH and give kobe a better gotomove that's my request...

but I dont deny requests.

[Modifly]

nice head, not great... but nice

First thing first, I did not took your comments negatively. Secondly, I'm not praising myself. Just so you know. For me, I think my Luther Head is great enough compared to the other Head here in NLSC. If you ask me, none of them look like Head. Even A_NukE's doesn't look one bit like Head.(no offense to other patchers, as I said before, all your bheds are great but the problem is the headshape) Hell, I dont want to praise myself but seriously I think it's the best Head out here. I dont spot any flaw in this CF. By that I mean I dont see anything which needs improvement. If you're gonna say it's the blending, save it because Head always have rosy cheeks. As you know, I'm a very big rockets fan and I know all of the players on their rosters very well.

i hope you could improve the sig shot of my favs kobe and GH and give kobe a better gotomove that's my request...

but I dont deny requests.

Um.... because you're such a bad ass, you took advantage of what I said, you'll be the first person who gets his requests denied.

But seriously speaking man, I'm a man of my word. 4 people requested an improvement on Kobe's sigshot. How could I say no to that? For me, that's a must. I'll also make a better sigshot for Grant Hill because he's your favourite. As for Kobe's goto moves.. um.. how exactly do you want me to improve it? I think it's pretty damn realistic already but if you think otherwise then you gotta tell me what's off about it. However, I wont be able to work on the requests right away because of all these rookies sigshot. I hope you understand and can accept the delay. As soon as the rookies are done, I'll start working on the request list. If I can keep going at this pace, it wont take long.

brother here is the video of rick barry doing freethrow:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdE-RCpLBcM[/youtube]

[GH33]

Modifly, for granthill (1)make his legs bend when taking a shot and make the arms stay in the air (follow thru) just like on of your heads sig shot.
(2)a straight shot with legs not bend but still the arms stay in the air.

for kobe gotomove i want a good fadeaway shot more like of the one in the superstar trigger in 07 (the best looking fadeway... i don't have any videos ) there are two gotomoves you know one is with forward button and one is with backward button... (1) is a fantastic fadeway and (2) while behid his back make a great turn around fadeway shot... and pls give him a gotomove that has a high percentage of getting in.. his current gotomove only is high percentage ONLY from around 12-15ft from the basket

that's my request

[Modifly]

c-cage, thanks a bunch. That video is very detailed, a very good footage to use as a reference. Real Classic. His freethrow routine is really weird! It's amazing how good his freethrow shooting is considering the way he shoots it. So how exactly do you want his sigshots to be? Do you want his sigshots to be like how he shoots his freethrow or how he normally shoots? If you want it like how he shoots his freethrow, then I must say that it is almost impossible. The position of the ball alone is not possible in the game.

Modifly, for granthill (1)make his legs bend when taking a shot and make the arms stay in the air (follow thru) just like on of your heads sig shot.
(2)a straight shot with legs not bend but still the arms stay in the air.

that's my request

Thank you for the detailed description. They will make my job a whole lot easier. I'll try my best to fix as you indicated, however, I cant make you a promise that you'll get 100% of what you like. But I'll do my very best, that's a promise. Your wishes are my command. It sound very complicated, but it's not impossible. Modifly will do his best for GH33's MSN Messenger.

Um.. the 07 superstar fadeaway? You mean the scorer superstar fadeaway back in 07? If we have access to that animation in 08 too then we would be set. That being said, those animation have to exists in 08 too of course. If we dont however, I have to find an alternative. I'll check if we have access to those animation in 08 and whether it exists in 08 as well or not. You see, a lot of animations from 07 doesn't exists in 08 and that fadeaway might be one of them..

Oh, by the way, about giving Kobe a higher percentage goto move, I dont think it's possible. They'll have similar percentage but I'll see what I can come up with. If you get challenge while performing the goto move then the shot is either adjusted or your chances of making the shot are lower. I'll discuss that issue with clydeli when I see him online.





I got 3 more rookies done today.

- Brook Lopez
- Jerryd Bayless
- Jason Thompson

I only made a video preview for Thompson because Lopez uses Brad Miller's sigshot and Bayless uses Chris Paul's sigshot. I spent a lot of time investigating their sigshots and I've found out that Miller's and Paul's sigshot fits perfectly for Lopez and Bayless. It's kinda pointless for me to make them a brand new sigshots if there are existing sigshots which fits them already.

- Detailed, realistic sigshot for Jason Thompson.

So far, the top 13 draft picks are done.

[Albys]

I agree with you!

Thanks for this great work, Modifly, i'm wait your production...

[Modifly]

I agree with you!

Thanks for this great work, Modifly, i'm wait your production...

no problem.. I'm glad that you like my work. Oh Albys, please check your PM. Read it very carefully.

[GaZuN]

Great Work on this shots bro.. They're really nice.. Congrats.. Keep it up

[E-House]

great work

[Klaidux]

Hey Modi was you searched J.Smith CF?

[dreadd41]

Modifly,
In my Suns season, I assigned the following sigshots for the Suns young duo:
Alando Tucker : 466 (Rodney Carney)
DJ Strawberry: 260 (Bobby Jackson)

See if you agree with me, or maybe you could edit to make it more real.

I'm really glad to see you studying the rookies sigshots

[Killer Crossover aka OG]

Thx for the L.Head is very clean looks like the simple real L.Head
About your Sigshot hehe no questions hehe Keep this great work Jom.

Yo bro Sigshot-Master Jom, don´t forget it for the second round rookies too and for the Rookie Omer Asik and Semih Erden

Edit: After the Rookies maybe if you have time, so please give the two Turkish-Players I mean Hedo-and Memo a good Sigshot and

Good luck for your work again

[skip2mahbaby]

Great work so far, Modifly.

Keep it up

[Modifly]

Great Work on this shots bro.. They're really nice.. Congrats.. Keep it up

thank you Martin, I appreciate your support.

great work

thank you, you keep it up with your cyberface patching as well!

Hey Modi was you searched J.Smith CF?

I dont have the time to do that just yet. While you are waiting, it would be a good idea to search for it yourself in the meantime rather than rushing me huh?

Modifly,

Alando Tucker : 466 (Rodney Carney)
DJ Strawberry: 260 (Bobby Jackson)

See if you agree with me, or maybe you could edit to make it more real.

I'm really glad to see you studying the rookies sigshots

um.. that's an interesting combination you got right there man. As soon as I have time, I'll take a look at Alando and DJ for you and see how their sigs look like. If I think it isn't good enough, I might as well tweak for you to make it better. Thank you for your comments tattoo master.

thanks for your compliments man, you guys really made me happy.

I'll get the first round rookies done first and if I have time, I'll work on the second round as well. I already put Hedo and Memo in the to-do list. I'll work on them when I have some spare time. Thank you for your support man, appreciate it as always.

Hedo and Memo were in my to-do lists already. For the second round rookies, if I have time I'll consider doing that.

can u make a face patch for Sasha Vujacic pls??




tnx!

I feel really bad having to say this but I cant complete your request.. I didn't deny it but I just really cant complete it.. I have too many things to get done in a very limited amount of time.. but there are several patchers who have made a great CF for Sasha.. why dont you try to search for it? Or if you want, try requesting other patchers.. try Gazun, I think he will be able to complete your request. I'm really sorry man, I hope you understand me and the decisions I have to make. It felt really bad not being able to fulfill your request but it's a choice that I have to make.

Great work so far, Modifly.

Keep it up

thank you.

[teddyboy09]

Whoa, these are great brother Modifly!

You know I always thought of dropping by your thread more often but I've been having a crappy schedule everytime so I'm always in a hurry when I'm on the computer. Now that I dropped by and can linger in your thread for a bit longer than I usually do, linger I most definitely will. And pretty sure I'll enjoy seeing everything. Most patchers' threads here in the NLSC; it's like me visiting a museum, a zoo, or a dorm full of hot girls (which I have yet to do, lol). I can't help but go "ooh" and "aah" at everything.

One question before I start my Modifly Thread Tour (pretty sure I can find out the answer as I go along, but just in case I don't, I'd rather ask now): is it possible to add more free throw rituals for the game? Because I'd like to give my own player a weird (not Rick Barry-type weird, lol), radical, unorthodox looking FT Ritual. lol. And I gave my own player a 99 FT rating so that when I'd play with friends, I'd want them to see a crazy FT ritual and the FT would still go in. lmao

Oh, 'nother question (which I think would also be answered as I go along but again, just to be sure): since you're a sigshot god, you've made a lot of sigshots. is there like a list of who gets what type of sigshot/gtm, what number it's assigned, and what it looks like (even just a description)? i think i've seen one before but i'm totally forgetful.

[Modifly]

That's a pretty damn long post right there man, I really appreaciate you typing all that, shows how much you pay attention to my work. Thanks! Not a lot of people do that. Now I'm gonna type even longer to sort out your curiousity.

First thing first, I gotta say that having a fan like you is the biggest thing a patcher can ask for. I thank you for everything, all the kind words, all the supports, I am more than grateful for it.

Now please allow me to be your guide for today's Modifly thread toor. Freethrow ritual can be assign to a created players, with the exception of creating a new one from scratch. This means that you can only take existing freethrow ritual and give it to other players. For instance, you can take Rip Hamilton's weird freethrow ritual and give it to Tracy McGrady. You cant however, give Tracy McGrady a custom freethrow ritual. As far as I'm concern, nobody managed to create a new freethrow ritual like we can for sigshots yet. If you want to give a player somebody elses freethrow ritual, you can do that via DBF editing. You open up players.dbf, look for the players with the freethrow ritual that you want, copy his value and give it to the player that you desire. I hope I made myself clear enough.

Secondly, if you want me to create a lists of who gets what type of sigshots and the number that they're assigned, I can. However, I dont think a description of what it looks like is necessary since I've already create a video preview of all the sigshots that I've made. I think that should be able to give you a clear enough idea of what the sigshots looks like. If you've seen one before, (the lists) I'm taking a wild stab that you've seen it in WebberF1's thread. He made a lists of all the players with sigshots once and also the number that they're assigned. To be honest, I dont see any need of me doing the same thing (make a lists of all the players with sigshots and who gets what number) because all of my sigshots will be included in Albys's Realistic Roster anyway. It's already merged in which will make it very simple to use. If you want to know which players have what numbers assigned for their sigshots, you can find out by opening the players.dbf. Hoewver, if you really want me to make a lists, it wont take me long and I can do it for you. So far, I haven't made any GTMs yet, but I already have a lot of requests asking for improvement in the GTMs and Sigshots. So that pretty much confirms it. I will be making GTMs as well at one point. Once I get to that point (the requests list) I will certainly make a lists of all the things you said once it's finished. I think it's a good idea to have a descriptions for the GTMs, but I dont think it's that necessary to write a description for the sigshots. A video preview explains everything. Thanks for reminding though. Guys like you made my work a lot easier.

I did my best answering all your questions, I hope your curiosity are gone now. I hope all of your questions are clearly answered by this time. If you have any more questions or concern, feel free to ask me again.

[teddyboy09]

Oh okay. Things are a lot clearer now. It's just, I've been playing this on the PC for just a few months now; and all I kept focusing on (since it's the only thing I can do on my own) is jersey recoloring.

I just started becoming curious with other aspects of patching - even though I can't do hem on my own; I just want to be informed - so I just start asking.

I also know some dbf editing - I mean, I reduced my own created character's salary that way lol - and some portrait reassigning (though after my own created player, I don't mind the portraits anymore), but after that, nothing else. I used a generic cyberface, arm and leg (skintones are even not that equally matched, lmao) from the game so I can apply my own arm/leg accessories.

Now, anyhoo (wow, I see it's a long post again, sorry), with the sigshots. That's a really taxing activity there, Modifly. Sucks with the FT rituals; would have wanted my character dancing to mock the opponent a little before actually making the FT. lol. But I guess the game must have its limits. GTMs are also the Freestyle moves, right?

sigshots and/or gtms. Do you guys also have to determine the area/movement the player has to be doing to be able to activate the move/shot? Like a running floater has to be, well, done while running in the lane. Because if you guys can do that, maybe a while-running-the-baseline location to activate a sigshot/GTM is possible? Because I would like to see Kobe's reverse baseline dunk of doom (there's an exiting dunk but idk, i think kobe's is different and more awesome), or - a popular move among me and some friends - a from-the-baseline reversed reverse layup. lol. it's a reverse layup but as you do the first reverse, you turn in mid-air and reverse it back (man it's tough to describe it).

Oop, Last question for now (sorry it's a real long post ). How do you guys actually make new animations? I really have a tough time figuring out how you people do it.

Oop, Last question for now (sorry it's a real long post ). How do you guys actually make new animations? I really have a tough time figuring out how you people do it.

Sorry man but I'll have to answer your post with another long one of my own.

First thing first, I'm sorry that I have to disappoint you about the freethrow ritual. Yes, the game does have it's limit. There are certain things that we can do and there are certain things which we cant.

Er.. I'm not sure what you mean by "GTMs are also the Freestyle moves, right?" but I know for a fact that freestyle moves and GTMs are two different things. They dont have anything in common but we can take the animation from the freestye moves and assign it as a GTMs. It's kinda complicated to understand, let's just say that you can use the animation from the freestyle moves and make it into a GTMs. But yeah, they are two different things.

For sigshots, we dont have to determine the area/movement the player has to be doing to be able to activate the move/shot. We just give them the sigshot animation and the game will use that animation when the player is shooting. Sigshots can be use everywhere. It's just like normal shooting but the animation of the shot is what we changed. For GTMs however, we have to determine the area/movement the player has to be doing to be able to activate the GTMs. We must state which area the player must be in to be able to activate that spectacular GTMs. We also have to state what movement they has to be doing to be able to pull of the GTMs. For instance, you have to backdown on the defender before you can perform T-MAC's GTMs. That being said, I think it's possible to activate the GTMs while-running-the-baseline. We just have to assign the correct numbers which represent that area in correctly. That wont be a simple thing to do though.

What you want is impossible, the from-the-baseline reversed reverse layup thing is just insane. It will take months before we can create a combination of animation which does that. The Kobe reverse baseline dunk are very hard to do as well. You will understand why once you read the next paragraph.

Lastly, we do not make new animations. Always remember that. What we do is take the existing animations in the game and mix it up to get a new combination. But dont think that it's an easy thing to do! It's a lot more complicated than it sounds. We get new animations by mixing up the existing one. Some animations are from older versions of Live (06,07) because we still have access to those animations in 08 and they still exists. We get a brand new combination by investigating which animations fits the best and then we mix it up. This process takes up a lot of time and brain because we have to seek for the most similar animation. The reason why it's impossible to create from-the-baseline reversed reverse layup is because there are no animations in the game that we can mix and get that results. Animations that look similar to that doesn't exists. Same thing goes for Kobe's reverse baseline dunk. There are no animations which is similar to it. There are about 2 reverse baseline dunks in the game and none of them are similar. Editing dunks are different to sigshots and GTMs.

If you have anymore questions, dont bother to ask them here anymore. Get yourself a MSN Messenger address and PM it to me. We'll talk via MSN. I'm too tired to answer you with a long post already. Instant messaging are much more convenient.

whoa, modi's job now is to make a Novel, hahaha! i like your grammar bro,
your spelling is superb! little adjustment with the margin. hahah..


just kidding bro,

[teddyboy09]

Hm. For now...no further questions, your honor.

Thanks so much for all the info; now I know more! Well, it still sounds tough to reanimate (or mix up) existing sigshots. Which is why I'm amazed that you guys can still be able to do that without going insane.

Thanks again for the answers; I learn something new each day. If I find another major category to ask, I'll be sure not to trade novels with you here.

I dont mind writing a novel everyday.. I enjoy replying all the comments in my thread. I believe it is the thread's owner job to take good care of all the visitors and the comments they recieve.

I'm glad that I could be a part in your learning. But seriously speaking, we sometimes goes insane when we cant find the right combination. If you ever came across another major category to ask, you can be sure to trade novels/essays with me here. I am more than happy to answer every single questions you have in mind. It shows that someone is paying attention to my work and for that, I thank you.


More sigshots coming today!! It's embarrasing to say but yesterday I took a day off by not patching at all.. You know, I could do with some break.

[BoRJ]

nice one bro Modifly!! keep up the good work dude!
