Opening a dialog (Discoveries)

[Mahmood]

Lately, it feels like the forum's been a little empty in terms of discoveries or digging. I know it takes place in the backend, but I personally love to read about everything a person can find, as the information we swap is only another thing for the community to understand.

Anyone found anything cool lately?

Mahmood what were some of your discoveries

Im currently working on replacing jumpshots atm. I was able to get some old jumpers back into the game through the NBA_Animations IFF file. I have lebrons 2k13 and his 2k14 jumpers, Kevin durants 2k11 Release, and a couple others as well. Im trying to find where the numbered Bases and Releases are located in the NBA_Animations file if anyone can help with that? Once we locate those, we might be able to use older 2ks and get back animations that have been removed

I made a few team audio discoveries from 2K20. Don't know if they still work in 2K22, but here's a short list of the IDs I've come across in 2K20:
903 - New Orleans Hornets
962 - Team USA
963 - Dream Team
964 - Celebrity Team
967 - Australia
968 - Argentina
969 - Canada
970 - France
971 - Spain

Not the most useful for most mods and it's not necessarily a "discovery" but for anyone who uses blacktop+ or finds a way for players to be shirtless, a while back I found out that you can edit the "torso" color the same way as you can for chest and leg textures.
A base for tattoos and/or matching skin tones.
In this download i included blank/default chest and leg skin tones as well as torsos.
- For anyone who will use this, just like chest color: RENAME the file and make sure it matches within the .TXTR or you will randomly replace others with that base skin tone:

Really appreciate you putting that pack together

More sharing like this is absolutely needed, and incredibly helpful.

With all the mods I see people producing, it would be helpful to have more threads created in the tutorial section, and just overall more sharing in general.

It is great for the community.
