How many scoreboard mods can you install?

[TheGeneral6]

Hey guys, have recently jumped from PS4 to PC due to the insane modding here and trying to get my head around it.

Can you have multiple scoreboards installed that will be chosen at random or can you only have one activated ie ESPN / TNT etc?

You'd need to manually switch the custom files.

Thanks for the quick response man.

This forum does well, if a new user calls what's done there as insane modding.

I really appreciate what users have done there, but I think NBA 2K games still lack modding.

I remember the time when TUP was released for NBA Live 08. Almost everything had an edit. Even the menus.

I'm glad that this forum has aged perfectly after the end of NBA Live releases on PC.

not too sure how pc savvy you are but bongo88 has just the thing for you viewtopic.php?f=236&t=104558&start=100#p1922620

it is a simple bat file to do random scoreboards:

Wild Idea but, is it possible to have all these scoreboards randomly selected before the start of a game?

Here is a bat file that'll pick a random scorebaord file and move/rename it to the mods folder.
set source=path to the folder where the scoreboards are kept
set target=path to your modded folder

Code: Select all

@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set source=C:\Steam\steamapps\common\NBA 2K18\scoreboards
set target=C:\Steam\steamapps\common\NBA 2K18\waigua

set count=0
set x=0

:: put all the files into a pseudo-array prefixed with "TXT_"
for /r "%source%" %%a in (*.*) do (
    set IFF_!count!=%%~a
    set /a count+=1
)

:: Use the 'modulo' function to get a usable value from system variable %random%
set /a x="%random% %% count"

:: Pull the relevant item out of the "TXT_" 'array'
set chosen=!IFF_%x%!

echo:Random Scoreboard Chosen :: %chosen%
copy /y "%chosen%" "%target%\newscorebug.iff" 1>nul
echo Copying Scoreboard Files
echo msgbox "File %chosen% set as Scoreboard. Press OK to Launch NBA 2K18" > "%temp%\popup.vbs"
wscript.exe "%temp%\popup.vbs"

START steam://rungameid/577800
del "%temp%\popup.vbs"
endlocal

That's a nifty workaround.

I must have missed this one before but I will try it out now that I found it, his next post after that one was this:

This bat file appears to list out the scoreboards you have and lets you select which one you want with a number (if you set it up right)
