I have discovered that in 2k10, we have a separate file for arenas which are set to 'LOW' in advanced video settings. Those files are named f015_lo.iff, f022_lo.ff, etc. As you can notice, "_lo' is appended to the normal arena iff files. As a medium end laptop user, I wanted to have medium fps (35 fps) but with medium player settings and low arena details set rather having good graphics but less fps (20-24 fps). So when I switched my arena detail to 'LOW', I have noticed that they are different from the HIGH DETAILED ARENA (example is the Boston Court and Lakers Court), so I quickly thought that they might have different IFF files. So when I checked the Arena IFF files, I found out the files for LOW DETAILED ARENAS (those with appended "_lo". then i decided to play some quick games in other arenas to check if they are updated as well like the Boston and Lakers court. I tried Raptors court because we all knew that the raps court center logo is wrong as it should be their alternative logo (the raps's foot mark). To my surprise, it is also wrong. Coincidentally, I already downloaded Skyline03LT's Floor modpack patch (viewtopic.php?f=125&t=69437) and he has the partially correct Raps arena (f022.iff). As you can see, that's a HIGH DETAILED ARENA FILE. So I thought of maybe I can have that partially corrected court by renaming it to f022_lo.iff) and when Im done overwriting. I played a quick match in raps arena again. And this how the arena looked like. the game's fps stayed at 35 and the court has a better texture as well. though there will be no more fireworks and spotlights during pregame and timeouts.
EDIT: The same happens for the Hornets court (I also renamed SkyLine's f011.iff to f011_lo.iff). What's weird is the Larry O'brien trophy isn't in the center court anymore. and eastern conference finals was the pic there when it should be western. weird
My request here is to have someone who can fix and hide the Finals and Conference finals logo there as this was played during an exhibition game only. But im not sure if that's possible, so I'm asking our great patchers for me to be enlightened.
Thanks in advance guys.
