Patches from 2K12 that work in 2K13 - Stadiums, Scorebugs!

[JaoSming]

Mods, feel free to edit this list.

Lets try and figure out what does and does not work from 2K12 DIRECTLY in 2K13. No exporting textures into 2K13 files, just a copy and paste of iff files.

Name (filename) - % Compatible [known issues]


• Stadiums (s###.iff) - 100%
• Floors (f###.iff) - 100%
• 2K12 Intro "They playin' basketball" (bootup_audio.iff) - 100% [boot_movie, the 2k12 intro video, does not work]
• Dornas (dorna###.iff/cdf) - 100% (via Lagoa)
• Logos (logo###.iff) - 100%
• Scorebugs (newscorebug.iff) - 90% [sample text, no background colors for teams]
  
• Cyberfaces (png####.iff) - 0% [completely messed up, extract textures into 2K13 files, convert models]
• Uniforms (uh/ua###/iff) - 0% [become blank white, export and import into 2K13 files]

tried uniforms and cfs, no luck. Although, the "They playin baaaaasketbaaaaaaall, we love that baaasketbaaaaall" works

It'll be a long way trying to match 2K13 to 2K12...

That's the major point to patchers this year, to find a software or a solution to the improvements made last year to this year's game, period.
Good luck...

That's been the case as long as our patching community has been around. From Lutz's review of NBA Live 2000 (the very first line, in fact):

My initial impression of NBA Live 2000 was “Oh no, this looks like we will have to convert all these patches”.

[rotchild]

Kind of a relief that stadium files and floors work... although, does that still make some of the floor editing impossible, like the "Red Auerbach" sig on the Celtics home floor?

[JaoSming]

yep....

have you tried the titlepage if it works both ways?

I'm a old fashion type of guy, no denys about it... But one thing i am more is a evolution believer, even more then old fashion, really...

The fact is we got try to combine this two controversial forces into one common gold, maybe for selling companies like 2K and EA, the most important thing always rely on the business of consume, improving propaganda and the industry at all, but i think (and i know that's "community job and mission", believe me, cause we all think the same, i guess), that NBA 2K12 reached the crossroads.

To the first Jordan edition in 2K11 till 2K12 and now 2K13, and that's why i ask bout entry into the podcast few months ago, is to bring this issue to the mind of patchers and game makers that take a close look into our job. Deny that the improvements at last years game into this years game is simple non acceptable anymore.

Ideas will always have space in the business, by the way that's the major point here, 2K13 must or almost have to improve not only general arcade sectors, but database itself, going shipping other seas and search their own history that's a full plate of join and market to developers.

Going directly to the point... The UBR, ABA, FIBA, International Teams, Expansion Team and Season Mod's will be at 2K13??? Period.

It's time to make this Mods Universal, the first company to realize that is going to win maybe a five year battle against the other, look at NBA Live this year, they simply can compete to 2K Series. Lack of playability and worse... Lack of ideas!

I know the technical issues involved, and that this point maybe belong to other thread, but does the question?
As "we play basketball and we love basketball" must go on.

I promess to myself, and make it very clear as i carried my thoughts to 2K12 community, it's time to relax a little bit and move apart to other to see their evolution, my first worry was selfish, improve my game, but as the patching improvements goes on, i became unselfish, now my worry is to provide the basis for others, and that's NBA 2K12 is all about.

Thank you.

[CoR3N]

Please make a tutorial how to convert nba 2k12 CF into 2k13 )

Please make a tutorial how to convert nba 2k12 CF into 2k13 )

I used both the 3DM and the java mod tool (aka The Mod Tool) to convert this 2K12 MJ (from BBMyLove) to 2k13

3DM - export/import textures
Mod Tool - export/import headshape (n2km files)... both of their tutorials are at the 2k12 thread

be sure to back up your 2k13 CF since it seems not all headshapes can be converted successfully (tried BB's Dwight Howard and failed... the textures worked but not the headshape)

[Lagoa]

Jao and others...

2K12 Dornas works 100% too! =)

[Mr.Xcitement96]

Nice to know some 2K12 files working on 2K13... it saves us a little flattened butts...on modding!

[JoeJames]

MMM weird but my dornas files didn't work on my game

[daninoz]

The portraits files from 2K12 also working in 2k13.

[dxjackson]

Will the 2k12 ps3 icons work on 2k13? Also what the name file of that again? thanks

[menten]

the 2k12 dornas worked for me

[mazijun]

Pls look at the timer at the top of the screen...when the time(24 seconds) was up ...it cannot show correctly,we cannot see the figure after the dot
After my check I found that was the sxxx.iff's problem...If you use the stadium of the 2k12,it may have some problem of the time

[ELITE4106]

Can anyone shoot me the link for the tool to create Cyberfaces.

[JaoSming]

3DM Mod Tool

[mitchy14]

sir jao, is it possible to do the "Unlock all Settings" file just like in 2k12?

[retromanas]

wait wait, so it is true, that you can copy&paste each fxxx.iff file from nba 2k12 into nba 2k13 and it will be working? or maybe i something don't understand, sorry
