[Maumau78's] Tutorial: edit body lenght / torso / leg

Postby maumau78 on Tue Sep 19, 2017 7:57 pm

Hi All!

If you were a fan like me of editing body lenght / torso etc you will notice that that option is no longer available in 2k18; well I think we can change that since seems 2k has moved those parameters inside the PNG file

So open the desired PNG file with 7-zip and look for appearance_info.RDAT:

Image

So for example below I exchanged parameters of Durant Body into Lebron...et voila! We've changed body proportions!


Image

Image

That's great for modding perspective becouse modder not only can edit the 3d but also release correct body proportions..also I think you can change more than just leg / torso / shoulder size

Hope this help !

I think this is better than doing it in blender because the accessories will still fit.

You need to extract them using explorer...and you can find a list of player<->png over NLSC forums....

for example Lebron is png1013.iff

Great news, I wish these values stood for the actual body types sizes and not the length etc.

As i understand by steps.
1) Export (Durant and James png's with 2k17 Explorer)
2) Open Durant Png with 7zip, find appearance_info.RDAT, copy all
3) Open James png, find appearance_info.RDAT, paste all, save
4) Go to explorer and Import James png with new parametrs of appearance_info.RDAT

Am I wright?

u566uta_98_current_away.RDAT
u566uta_98_current_home.RDAT

these are found in the iff files. uniforms for 98 jazz team.

"SHORTS TYPE": "NONE" in original game had long baggy shorts.
"SHORTS TYPE": "RETRO" changed to retro had short retro shorts.

also other options in the rdat file about uniforms:

"JERSEY TYPE": "classic_v_neck",
"SHORTS TYPE": "RETRO",
"COLORIZED NUMBERS": "FALSE",
"SHORTS NUMBERS": "FALSE",
"NO NBA PATCH": "FALSE",
"FRONT NUMBER ALIGNMENT": "CENTERED",
"UPPER NAME PLATE STYLE": "LAST",
"LOWER NAME PLATE STYLE": "NONE",
"PATCH": "NBA"

the 96 bulls have this as jersey type: "JERSEY TYPE": "classic_u_neck"
havent looked through many uniforms. just 98 jazz and 96 bulls.

Try to edit the RDAT file without extracting it. Right click on the file, then "open outside". After editing it, there will be a message saying you changed some stuff and blah blah. Just click on OK.

So I tried this with Notepad++ and it worked. I extracted the file, edited it, deleted from archive and added the modded file.

I think editing in regular notepad causes the file not save correctly as rdat file. I had the same issue in 2K17
