Your right, however I forgot which program you need to open this file.

[JaoSming]

a very complicated program called.....


notepad

notepad

Where can I get that? How much does it cost?

[JaoSming]

It's a $200 program that I'll send to you once the Paypal deposit clears.

Isn't it amazing how most pc users have no idea what programs come with windows!

[JaoSming]

I'm pretty sure he was joking

[benji]

Don't waste your $200 on notepad, you can get third party programs for free that work just as well.

What you really need is to send me $500 for a game that's even better than 2K. It's a fantastic simulation of a solo card game. Man, do you guys need to see the animation when you win. It will blow your mind.

[volsey]

Ughhh benji don't spoil it benji.

[Cruzerr]

I pirated Notepad. Lol get me banned now.

But Thanks for the info.

haha righttttttt wow that's weird because I swear I had notepad and I couldn't open those since 2k9 so I thought it was something else thx

Yeah your too smart for me

[fjccommish]

Don't send the guy $200 for notepad. I have developed a superior program called wordpad. It's available for only $100, + $20 for digital shipping.

[shadowgrin]

You disappoint me Stomp.

You disappoint me Stomp.

Why do you have to yell at me all the time I bit my tongue

[2Kstealscash]

I was hoping to get more pc hardware related comments, like your system ran 2k11 well but 2k12 requires a quad core etc.

Im going to make a new thread for that. Have fun messing with the ignorant gamers.

[JWL3]

Are you sure Clothlogic is supposed to be 2, 1, -1, -1? I remember adjusting this so that all 4 of my cores would be able to process this. I'm not sure if it had any effect at all on the FPS, but it felt smoother to me. Maybe placebo effect?

Leave the configuration alone...it's works fine on default...

This.

Why leave it on default?playerlod=3 gives superior player models.Also sidelinecharacters does the same at value 2.Cloth for quads must be 1,2,3,4.

[shadowgrin]

playerlod=3 gives superior player models.Also sidelinecharacters does the same at value 2.

It's basically the values for the video settings in the game. It's not some sort of secret fix. You can change it in the game itself.

Nope.You are wrong.Setting ingame the player details on high is the value 0 in config.cfg.By setting the value to 3 you bypass that and get the very high setting that was present on 2k9.Same applies with sideline characters with the difference of values.To make use of 4 cores it's obvious that you need the 1,2,3,4 sequence.

[shadowgrin]

Try using a value of -1 for player details see if it's the same as value 3.

[Patr1ck]

The funny thing is, I've looked through the files of the last few games before with the 2kmod tool and dont remember having seen any high res player models. You are going to have to provide screen shots to prove this.
