Modding and Tools Progress, Updates, and Info | 2K18

[Dee4Three]

This is the NBA 2K12 of this gen. This is what it needs.

1. A Global like RKJ made (That ups the Tesselation, gives a little muscle, makes the players pop
2. Arena lighting. This has to be the most blah game (Even the current teams) almost in 2K history. The lighting is so low... We have to brighten up this game.
3. A ball mod, it does make a difference.

But we have to fix the look, look at my videos of NBA 2K17. They are alive. This is the most disappointed I have ever been in art for 2K, that includes some of the new faces they added (Karl Malone looks so bad. Look at some of these...


This is Larry Freakin Bird.... are you kidding me? He looks nothing like him.





This is the recycled Hakeem, he didn't even get a touch up. This looks horrible.





This is supposed to be Karl Malone





Clyde Drexler looks like a black Billy Crystal





Bob Cousys eyeballs are cutting into his Eye Lids





This is supposed to be Jerry Stackhouse



Kevin Garnett has no neck, and his head is HUGE. He looks like a bobblehead.





One really good one, Shawn Kemp.




We have players missing arms on replays.






Gamplay wise. The defense seems to have improved, but ALL the players move so fast, the 34 year old Sprewell feels as fast as Westbrook. I wont get into gameplay as much here, because this is modding. But those 3 things above are a must to give this game LIFE.

Jerry Stackhouse looks like he and Tim Hardaway had a baby.

What we need now is to convert limonono !!!

3D courts accepts editing, like last year, but i dont know why, my dds files is all black here. No previews and no show textures for 2k18 (floors)

Does 2k17 courts works on 2k18?

Did you try bro?

[Lagoa]

Not working...

Like i said, i dont know why, but courts (floors) not showing textures, have size but all textures are black, impossible to patch at this time. If we get the textures working again, one day and we have a template for 2k18!

Try checking the .dds files in a program called compressonator to check the differences from 2K17 .dds files and 2K18 .dds files.
I will begin recording footage tonight for my thoughts, ideas, etc. Today's my wife's last day in the hospital so I will have more time to dive in tomorrow.

EDIT: R4zor started his own thread.

TGsoGood, love u man!

Using the program and now, we need a INTELTEXTUREWORK for using .dds

It´s the same style, but this one saving in BC7 (new compressor for 2k18 floors) Making tests here! Thks

[TBM]

Fuck, I can't wait to buy the game so I can start modding.

actually feel like 2k18 is one of the best looking next-gen games (other than 2k14). Players look more realistic and the majority of the face scans have been accurate.

[voidjointx]

what do you have to delete from png file to make it work right cause there's no hihead1 2 3... scne files

[Dee4Three]

It looks like the scoreboards will work, they just need to be tweaked

[PeacemanNOT]

I really like some of the new classic player updates, especially with guys like Larry Johnson and Shawn Kemp. Big improvment.

[Jonny2k]

Has anyone cracked open the Limono file to redirect it to 2K18? I've been trying to open it up and reroute it to 2K18 but all the tutorials I've come across seem super shady.

How can the same people who did that Kemp and LJ also be the one who butchered Bird and Drexler? The improved some but worsened others.

Yeah 2K baffles me sometimes, every single classic team jersey is inaccurate. Not even one of the new ones... and those dark stadiums.

I'm going to need to start early if I'm going to be able to do anything when it comes rosters this year.

[Dee4Three]

Is brightening the stadiums a possibility?

This game needs life.

[Jonny2k]

I remember we all thought the stadium lights had been fixed based on the screenshots but all they did was dim down every stadium. It's got that 2K15 lighting without the fog.

If I can get the Limnono Modifier today, I can start putting together a list of all the players in the game, and start working on my draft roster.

I havn't seen anybody post about the modifier yet, though.

Courts Template 90% finish! Is possible to patch all game courts on NBA 2k18!

Very nice, will it be possible to make three point and baseline lines are accurate on all courts?
