Haven't DLed yet but it looks great. Glad you are doing scoreboards this year. I'm assuming for the days of the week you pulled the hash from looyh's list and it successfully populates. I guess that makes sense since Kevin Harlan routinely notes what day it is, so that variable would make sense to be active in-game. Mahmood and I (and Psamyou'll last year I think) have made some efforts to get the ticker to populate in-game, but no luck so far Are you going to add Team Fouls to the NBC board? Shouldn't be any more difficult than adding the day except for the fact that you'd have to get the words "Team Fouls:" in there either via texture or some repurposed text string.

I was thinking of taking a shot at this with the NBC board soon as well, It'd be nice if we could figure out how to make the home and away tricodes colored like the irl ESPN board too

There are team-colored text strings for team names (and other stuff), but I haven't seen one for the tricodes, so I think that sort of method (which is the cleanest way of doing it) would require creating a custom text string for a variable. I tried one time to create a custom variable text string via editing TEXT.VCLOCALIZEDATA, but it didn't work. Maybe I did something stupid though. I also haven't ever looked into how the team-color backdrop works, though I assume scoreboard makers already understand that well. Hopefully there is a way to control which team color appears as the backdrop. If not then I don't think getting the exact IRL look will be possible.

Yes. Looyh's lang pack was my starting point to try this. Found that I can repurpose other unused strings in the scoreboard. New score away/home in my case. And got my luck from multiple trials to get the exact hash from Looyhs pack holding the days of weeks.

I've also tried to get the colored tricode and scores but no luck for now. I would check the other part of 2k if there's any string something like that so I can extract the hash and test it. As I've checked, most of the overlay text hash are working with scorebug, possibly on other files too.

for NBC, spent also couple of hours to test some of hash from Looyhs file that might hold the team fouls for penalty. No luck yet. I'll check it out some other time.

Wow. Better than the real one

Sorry that I´ve to call this one out again! But those types of mods are the reason that a veteran like mine is still on the train of love for this nba computer game. And I mean it! My first NBA game was Bulls vs. Blazers as a child. What a development fromt the past to that here. Wow!

den, can u add this tag to the nbc scoreboard (@nbcsboston)?

Did you figure out how to give tricode team colors? Or is this just a diffusecolor edit

No, just RGB color values changed for tricode and score. 1 minute work of modify before a game. It's okay I think.

Do you have a tutorial on how to do that? It looks really cool.

If you go to the text object you can set text color with the "VC_Color" attributes



If the color doesn't change with this edit then it's expressed elsewhere, likely in a .animation file for that specific object.

I've been meaning to look more into the ColorID's and possibly finding a TeamColor value of some sort, but all I can find is UI callbacks like "FE_EMPHASIS" and the like.

It's quite easy to get the colors to change automatically though. No need to do it game by game.

Yes. You just replace an existing string in TEXT.VCLOCALIZEDATA with the code for a colored tricode (following the syntax 2K uses, which you can deduce from looking at other variable strings; see the list of strings provided by looyh in my hex thread), then swap the hash for that string into your NewScorebug.VCUIELEMENT (i.e., in place of the existing tricode hash). Do this for both home and away and you're good.

You ever sit in class, teacher says something, and you KNOW that everybody don't understand, but nobody wants to raise their hand? haha, i never cared, always asked the question, and usually a collective sigh from the class... lol
welp, i don't understand... course, i am super sleepy and this might make more sense in the morning. anyways, a clearer example would be cool... you can do over PM to me or just post it here...

anyways, glad you figured it out

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be obtuse; for the sake of time I just wanted to do as little tutorializing as possible. Basically if you look at what looyh posted in my thread, it's a bunch of 4-byte reference codes for strings within TEXT.VCLOCALIZEDATA (within english.iff). See my old tutorial for 2K22 in that same thread for info on how to work with these codes. All I'm saying is to craft your own variable by following the syntax 2K uses in all its other variables (the all-caps, bracketed fields), which is easy to get a feel for thanks to looyh's list, which consolidates them all in one place. So, for instance, the variables in the default game that color a text with a team color (for instance the team names and records in the default titlecard) use the tag "{0:PT_SUBJECT:TEAM_HOME:TEXT_TERTIARY}" (or "TEAM_AWAY") which is closed off by "|RESTORE_COLOR|" (i.e., to turn off the team coloring once the enclosed text is finished). Elsewhere you can observe that tricodes are called by "{0:PT_SUBJECT:TEAM_HOME:NAME:SHORT}" (or TEAM_AWAY). So by putting these together you can achieve the desired effect: "{0:PT_SUBJECT:TEAM_HOME:TEXT_TERTIARY}{0:PT_SUBJECT:TEAM_HOME:NAME:SHORT}|RESTORE_COLOR|"

Then you just choose an existing string of that length (ideally one that is useless and doesn't have much text that could potentially interfere with other in-game text, so try to avoid stuff that has words like "offense," "defense," "shot," "point guard," etc.) and overwrite it with the above. So for instance the custom variable is the same length as "Sports IllustratedTM is a tradekmark of ABG-SI LLC. (C)ABG-SI LLC. sportsillustrated.com" at location BBFA03FD, so for the screenshot below I went in and overwrote that with "{0:PT_SUBJECT:TEAM_HOME:TEXT_TERTIARY}{0:PT_SUBJECT:TEAM_HOME:NAME:SHORT}|RESTORE_COLOR|". Then I rerouted the tricode in NewScorebug.VCUIELEMENT to the location of that new variable (i.e., what was originally Sports Illustrated text).

EDIT: Forgot to note that, while I haven't tried it, it wouldn't surprise me if changing TEXT_TERTIARY to TEXT_PRIMARY or TEXT_SECONDARY works as well. There are no default variables with that usage, but it's a logical extension that may work and would allow more freedom re: which color to assign. Ultimately not that important though since TEXT_TERTIARY ought to work just fine. Obviously for it to be effective one needs to make sure teams have coherent color combinations for the colors called by TEXT_TERTIARY and the background field, so it's not exactly plug and play for Play Now Online or anything, but for custom rosters where you can manage your team colors it should be fine.

Here's the Lakers too, for something with a non-blue BG color, in case it's helpful to see a different color scheme.

EDIT: And just to be clear, I haven't made a version of this scoreboard with this functionality (currently I'm in retro land so not really using or modding modern stuff right now), I'm just pointing out that it's totally doable. You just gotta follow the general principles I explained and apply them to all relevant text fields (I guess just the tricodes and scores, right?).

oh, not obtuse, at all ... succinct, yes, and paitient.
edit: clarification: I had seen the patterns and syntax in looyh's dump, just wondering about the crc32b hash and BBFA03FD
anyways, i'm not a programmer... i had seen the textual patterns in looyh's dump... was wondering... where do you get -- BBFA03FD -- I don't really understand crc32b hash... other than basically it's a mathematical number of a long word sentance ... my basic definition and understanding, not anything official do you have to go find sports_illustrated_trademark yadda yadda in an vcueiement... or do you just hash the phrase from the text.vclocalized data

i was guessing most of the {0:OVERLAY: ... and {0: would work for string replacement would work, just never got around to replacing strings

i'm just wondering about BBFA03FD . everything else is understandable. thanks for your time. i could google it or read a book, but much easier to ask you

Actually I was being obtuse (dumb) since what I meant was “opaque,” but anyway…

If you Ctrl+F looyh’s TXT file for that Sports Illustrated text (just search for “tradekmark”, a typo by 2K in the string), you’ll see BBFA03FD at the beginning of the line. That’s essentially the code for calling that chunk of text, though you have to reorder it when hex-editing it into a VCUIELEMENT or other file (it’s in reverse byte order, a byte being 2 characters, so BBFA03FD becomes FD03FABB; in other words 12345678 would become 78563412). In general these text call codes are simply the text string in question being translated to a CRC32B hash (for instance if you copied and pasted the text here: https://md5calc.com/hash/crc32b), but in reality they are not always so, as I think over the years 2K has changed the contents of some text without changing the codes that call them (I noted one instance in my reply to looyh).
