Jumpshot animations edit mod release (Lebron, Kobe, Tmac)

There's a new LBJ contested jumper animation in 2K23 which has more lift than his normal one and it would fit Miami or Cavs LBJ as normal base much better than the default.
I'm trying to exchange that with another normale base (for ex. Tmac since it's the old Burke base which is in the game multiple times)

I looked into the nba_animations.iff file and tried to swap some bases but not with much luck. I successfully exchanged some releases though.
I couldn't even figure out properly how to exchange a base with another one although there's some player's sig jumpers with just 2 files (accordingly I thought one is for the rls and one for the base) but they remained the same after renaming and swapping with a different one strangely

Does anyone know if base swapping even works still with 2K23? (I only tried it with 2K23 sig jumpers not from older games)

There are 10 contested jumpers in total in the game and I found 10 "ANM_2K23_CONTEST_LAZY_MOVE" files in the nba_animations.iff which accordingly should be them but I'm not 100% sure

Any assistance is much appreciated!

Hey man! So ive been actually doing some animation modding myself, and you can swap animations. its buggy, because left handed players cannot typically use them, so that's an issue atm. Basically, what you need to do is find the animation you want that's in the files, then find the animation you want to replace. extract the one you want to add to your desktop, and rename it to the one you want to replace and then put it back into the anim file. You need to make sure that for each file, there are 2 files. one should be a "Multiple.mocap" and an M_Multiple_Mocap" or something like that, I cant remember off the top of my head and I'm not at my computer. one should be a smaller file and one a larger. so make sure for every animation you replace you are doing both files or else it wouldn't work. Also, the way ive done it is specifically replacing jumpshot animations that its clear i know who they are for. for example, if you got to the 2k15 files, you can find the animations for Ronnie 2K. So ill specifically replace his 2 animation files so i can go in game afterwards and test them. The easiest way to confirm what youre doing is to replace the "Sig Jumpshots" files. you can also do it with "sig Pullups" but i would wait until you've got the jumpshot replacement down pat. there are a bunch in every year of the games files. If you're on Discord, you can private message me and i can share my modded file with you. my name is agentdiesel #2351

If youre loooking for Lebrons Contested jumper, its one of the 4 or 5 signature Lebron jumpshots in the 2k23 section of the files btw

JUMPSHOT ANIMATIONS MOD RELEASE

Preview: https://vimeo.com/802329990

-I replaced the Jerry West j with Lebron's contested jumper whose base has more lift and a more realistic rls and follow through now (perfect for Heat and young Cavs Lebron)

-2 other hidden 2K23 Lbj jumpers are replaced with J. Cole & LD2K (most realistic ball placement and his snappiest rls)

-Base 51 (which should be the Kobe Bryant base) from older 2K's is back in the game replacing Ronnie2k

-Deleted stiff spin jumper (which is basically Tmac's sig) from older 2K's swapped for WNBA2

Are you able to get other older animations like clyde drexler, allen iverson??? Can you do that??? These are so amazing btw

That is amazing. thank you for that mod.
i think steph also has a second jump shot in the game that looks more realistic than hes default
would be a great addition if you have the time and will.

Thanks anyway

How do you know if Steph has a second jump shot? I think you could add it pretty easily by changing the name of an unused jumpshot in the nbaanimations file?

I saw on the file itself, from my experience rename it won't work, but i'm might be mistaken

Will this work for 2k22?
