Converting 2k23 Cyberfaces to 2k24

Sun Dec 31, 2023 4:10 am

Does anyone know how to take custom 2k23 Cyberfaces and have them work in 2k24? I haven't played the game since launch. But now that Looyh has the 2ktool out I'm about to start playing again. I tried to assign one of my 2k23 models to 2k24 but it doesn't seem to work. Everything else works fine. I've downloaded the latest hook and everything but just need some guidance on how to convert those or if we even can.

Thanks!

A lot of the faces from NBA 2K23 are compatible from my personal experience, such as Rasheed Wallace from Mr Star as well as the default NBA 2K23 faces which I have to used to rollback certain hairstyles for players.

You only need to use an appareance.json file from a 2K24 png into your 2K23 png to enable the hair/facialhair models.

Yea I think I tried that but I may have done it wrong. Do I need to put the appareance file in the hair and body models?

I only put it the png file.

Have you managed to get Ama're Stoudmire to work with glasses? I can't seem to get it to use the glasses from a 2k23 mod

No, just copy all lines from "accessory_items": { until the end from the 2k23 appearance.rdat file into the 2k24 appearance.json.

Okay so let me see if I follow:

I want to have my 2k23png file to be in 2k24. So I will have to copy all the lines from the "accessory_items" from my 2k23png and place them where? Do I place it in any 2k24png file? Or do I have it backwards in where I take the appearance.rdat file from the 2k24 file?

Just kind of confused because I don't understand why I will take that from a 2k23png as stated in your last instructions.

Thanks for responding

I´m sending you a appearance_info.json from 2K24. So, you have to copy the accessories/body values from your 2K23 appearance.rdat file into this: https://mega.nz/file/muBxEKba#wZp2GkXmy ... uILV7I5TYE and place this new appearance file into your 2K23 png.
I will record a video as soon as I can on how to fix 2K23 faces for 2K24.

Here's my png attempt at converting Amar'e from the 2k23 on your site but I don't get glasses! I had to rename from 10909, no idea why it doesn't work
