When the reditor for 360 comes out, will we be able to edit jerseys, especially for CATS, etc... Or just for pc...?

[JaoSming]

you will be able to swap around what is on the disc, and even the DLC, but you cannot add new art to the game.

good day sir jaosming,
im a fan of all your works. i just want to know how to put my own portrait on nba 2k12. some ideas are rounding up on my mind but i dont know how to use them. like using mod tool/ gimp. is that a correct tools to do that. i just want to replace some portraits. pls sir i just need a little bit of tutorial from you. thank you so much if ever you helped me out.

[JaoSming]

sure thing, use GIMP & the mod tool using this tutorial, and you will also want REDitor II (free version will work fine)

create the portrait, save as DXT5 dds
load the portraits and portraits_hi iff files in the mod tool, find a player to replace
use this resource (check both portraits and portraits_hi listings) viewtopic.php?p=1432583#p1432583
figure out what 4 number ID you want to replace, and replace that portrait in both files
then using the REDitor, find the player you want to give that portrait, and enter in that 4 digit ID in the portID column

Can somebody please explain me how to instal DDS plug-in ti GIMP?

[JaoSming]

Google will help you figure out how to install the plug-in. Essentially you just need to put a file into the right folder and start the program.

Masters, is it possible for me to make the knee sleeve longer?

[renoglen]

pls. teach me how to make cyberface in nba 2k12 and what tools i need to create cyberface.......

[JaoSming]

mod tool, gimp or photoshop to edit the dds files, blender if you want to do 3D edits.

[mcoll86]

what .dds settings for the jersey edited do i need. i use Photoshop and and paintnet

[JaoSming]

the mod tool will tell you on the bottom left of the tool, but it is usually DXT5 with mip maps

[mcoll86]

now im confused. you said before we couldn't use the mod tool for jerseys that we need to use the jersey import export tool

[JaoSming]

I did say that, 3 months ago

the mod tool has since been updated to edit them.

Can we use the texture editing tool to load the accessories' .iff files, and change their colors? I mean change their Team Color or something like that? Since hex editing is not effective...

[JaoSming]

nope, it will mess with all players with that accessory, edit it in the roster with the REDitor or figure out the hex.

[qwvb1111]

Uhh, I dont mind all players and teams use the yellow as all accessories color. As long as it's working. Then I'll do that.

Guys, i need help for the JerseyEditor 1.1 64 bit... whenever i open the jersey file, it gives me an error saying, unhandled exception: offset and length were out of bounds for the array or count is greater than the number of elements from index to the end of the source collection.

I really need help on this, and i would love a reply ASAP

[Dachone]

How can I export files from .iff to have transparent background? I want to do some title screens... When I extract picture (for example smoke effects from title screen) from modtool it won't open in Photoshop with transparent background. I have Photoshop and Nvidia dds converter...

[Ballyoop]

Hey, Jao and everybody, do you guys know where's the file containing the short clip(video) showing the arena during halftime. thanks in advance!

[JaoSming]

blimp_atl_009_01_n.mov is one of them, they all start with blimp and are some kind of mov files

there are 11 of them

[Ballyoop]

thanks bro, am I able to edit them?

and also, im about to change a team name in the game, am I able to do that in REDitor? or it will come to HEX editing?

lets say I want to change the name of Cleveland Cavaliers to FEU Tamaraws.... thanks man!
