NBA live 07 patches work on NBA Live 08

[wolfwood225]

I don't know if people know this already but nba live 07 patches also work on nba live 08. like the shoe patches and lighting patches.

Face patches are also 100% compatible.

not every gear item are working, i encountered some pretty strange things when using some of the arms and legs that came with a cyberface pack, some guys ended up with some strange black underarms and hands.

Also the 2x armbands and 2x headbands are not working correctly because some guys end up with some strange heads textured like a basketball lol So i had to take out the 2x patches and the gear that came with the 07 cyberface package.

True, I got this report from my friend.

[Morpheus]

great so at least i'm not the only one lol, well at least the faces are working so that is definatly a big plus.

The reason the cyberface package wouldn't work is because there are cyberfaces in 08 that aren't in 07, and having a missing cyberface results in it being replaced by another texture like the basketball. The same thing goes for shoes(although you need the correct dbf file and a fresh "loc" file for 08, I wouldn't expect 07's loc file to work correctly in 08). You could extract all the fsh files into your sgsm directory and they will work fine. 2x headbands are working correctly for me. I'm not going to use the 2x armbands, because last year it disabled some of the unlockable tattoos from displaying. The same thing would happen for this year, there are about 5 unlockable tattoos.

[Morpheus]

Yeah your correct it locks the tattoos did it for me to, shoes work great what i did was extract all to the sgsm folder and add the shoesacc.dbf into the save game database but also into the current, original and working database, after that i had all the shoes available to be to use even the new ones that where added. I did not touch the LOC because it's incompatible with 08 but it works great without anyways.

Now the cyberface packs are working great like i said except for the gear such as arms and legs that come with certain players, now some of those show up very strange, you say this is because cyberfaces are in 08 and are not in 07 but it was the cyberface 07 pack im using in 08 and those players that have the weird looking arms are in 08 if i take the arms and legs out (the gear part) then it works great.

[Morpheus]

just wanted to say that the 2x headbands work great it is the 2x armbands that do not work as it should but i do not want to use those anyway because as you said it disables some tattoos, specially the ones i like.

[Patr1ck]

The patch does not lock them, they are already locked. The patch makes it impossible for you to use them because they aren't included in the file, and there is no known way of adding them. The only other reason that would make the 2x armbands and tattoos look bad is an improper installation. The only two downsides of the 2x arms and tats is the inability to use the tattoos that you can unlock from the nba store and any new players that have tattoos in 08 that weren't in 07 will not have tattoos after correctly installing the patch.

[Morpheus]

yeah thats what i mean they are disabled, i already had them unlocked. And yeah i noticed to that some missed tatts so i took that patch out anyways but the 2x headbands work great.

Another question do you have any suggestion what lighting to use on 08 ? There are so many but just wanted to hear what others think works best.

[diddy]

Pdub, i don't give a shoot for unlockable tats, please tell me is that 2x armbands work for 08 and which files does it contains!

[Patr1ck]

Just follow the instructions in the readme and it should work fine.

[vinz]

how about courts and jerseys? are 07 court and jersey patches fully compatible with 08?

[Patr1ck]

Jerseys, yes. Courts, work for the most part, but the 3d crowd is mapped differently.

[vinz]

sweet! thanks pdub!

[Aca/Kosovo is Serbia!]

Arena - 98 % Working
Don't working crowd3d.fsh
Roster - 95 %
Only players.dbf is different
Jersey and jersey preview - 100 %
Arena Preview - 30 %
It work, but isn't good see in nba live 08.
Logos - 50 %
I don't tested all logos, but large logos(preview) isn't good working...
Cyberfaces - 100 %

Hey, did anoyone import FIBA 07 Portraits in NBA Live 08?? Does this work! I heard about some problems in another Forum with blending. Don't know what this is about?

One thing, you can back-up and replace 08's xtrans.viv with 07's... That will enable you to use 07's custom transitions like those ESPN trans. made for 07... Just put 07's cmtrans.fsh to 08's sgsm as usual...

Note: There will no more specific team transitions, just like 07 where only 1 trans is used ingame, and 08 by default have 3 trans used ingame...

Is this true? I used CMNtrans.fsh from Live 07 (to get rid of those retarded transition screens in btw. free throws) and it didn't work too well. Now, the transition screen is transparent, but the name of the team still flashes in your face.

Yep bro! No joke in here, it works... You missed the most important thing, replace 08's xrans.viv first with 07's to make the 07's cmntrans.fsh work... After that, you can put the cmntrans.fsh on 08's sgsm folder... The xtrans.viv are in the sgsm\common folder...

how bout the other way around? roster, shoe, court patches from live 08 to 07?is this possible?

[Patr1ck]

Yes, but for the 08 courts to work you will need to copy the sgsm/3dcrowd folder over to 07.
