Any way to fix hidden CF black arms?

[BD1899]

Is their any way to fix the black arms on players who have hidden cyberfaces? I made a My Player using David Stern's cyberface but he has black arms that I can't seem to get rid of. I know JaoSming found a way to fix the black arms on the hidden rookies so I figured that there is a way to do the same for the other cyberfaces. Thanks!

yea, you just need to edit the arms in that player's iff file

so find a player with no tattoos that has the same skin tone as stern, then extract their arm texture and import it into stern's

Is there a tutorial on how to do this? I've never tried to edit player arms before and I wouldn't know where to start. Also, does this work on a My Player?

Edit: Actually, I think I know how to do this. All I need to know is which file inside the .iff file corresponds to the arms. I'm using the NBA2kX_Mod Tool and I can't figure out which of these 10 parts is the arms.

I tried what you told me to do in NBA2KX_Mod Tool JaoSming and this happened...



I didn't know exactly which texture corresponds to the arms, so I replace the res of Stern with the res of Scalabrine for the 2nd file under his png file and the arms glitched out like above. I tried replacing another two on there and it glitched his face. I don't know whether I did something wrong or the file won't work. I have a backup of the file, so experimenting won't make me have to reinstall the game.

wow, i dont have a clue why or how that happened. Since you used the mod tool you can use the .bak file it created if you didnt back up but the arm textures should be pretty obvious when you look at them.

I just took a look at my backup .iff file in the Mod Tool and noticed that on default, Stern's arm skin looks like this:



I'm wondering if this might be why his arm's and face looked like that when I tried to import Scalabrine's texture over his. I replaced 0 on that picture and literally nothing changed. The arms were still black, but Stern's face and arms weren't glitched like before. As soon as I replaced 1, the glitch happened again and his whole arm was covered in those weird pixels.

Also, Stern has two extra file slots on his file that Scalabrine didn't and they look like this:



I tried exporting over these too, but all it did was leave his face normal except for a few random pixels around his face. Am I doing something wrong or is Stern's file different from other player files?

[JaoSming]

wow, Stern's is waaay different than the others....I have no idea how to fix that.
