NOTE: ONE THING I FORGOT TO MENTION. If you go to insert your portrait (import archive) in the iff editor, and a screen pops up with "DXT1 and SWIZZLE". Make sure you change DXT1 to DXT5, and keep Swizzle checked

Also, real quick.

If you are using my rosters (UFDR and UCTR), don't use 1152. I am using that one for the Charles Barkley Portrait.

Thanks!

However. In this same section I made a jukebox tutorial (music editing tutorial). Check that out.

And thanks for the support.

Thanks !

Yes you can insert portraits to a draft class. The easiest way is to load a draft class into a random MyLeague, then use the method from the tutorial. When done save the draft class from MyLeague.

Hi! I'm looking for pictures for the portraits but I keep finding png of many players but they're all small. I could only find big photos for the well-known players. The ones I found in google are 384*384 and they all come from 2khead so I think they might be "original" but how is it possible if they are so small? I was wondering if you could share where do you find them or what prorgram you use to resize them without losing quality. THANK YOU! :)

I think you are confusing a few things. Use the tab in NBA 2K17 Explorer that I show in the video, find the portraits that end in "a1", and those are all the right portraits that you can overwrite. If you want portraits that are not used in the game, go to the high 8000's, or in the mid 1200 (Old free agents like Okafor and Ben Gordon). However, if you make portraits and than I use the same numbers you did, and you try to use my Classic Teams roster or UFDR, my portraits my overwrite yours.

Hopefully this helps.

Yes! Thank you! However, I still don't get that part. How can your portraits overwrite mine? (Sorry if this is obvious but I'm still pretty new at this editing mode of the game :? )

So, in conclusion, if I want to use other images, I have to look them up in those places right?

Yes.

And here is an example, Lets say I use 1152 for Charles Barkley, and I include that in one of my MOD packs. But you also use 1152 for a player... That would mean that when you download one of my rosters, and place the mod pack contents into your modded folder, my 1152 for Barkley would overwrite your 1152 portrait.

BTW, I did use 1152 for Barkley. Haha.

Yes, please see my basic roster editing tutorial in this section. It's a video like this one. Also, in the newest Limnono modifier release from Oct 8th, you can make a player keep a portrait on his home team.

If you have any questions, let me know.

And btw, Pachulia probably has a portrait but with the Mavericks. If you trade him to the Mavericks he will probably show a portrait. It's just how these games work now.

Is there anyway to remove portraits from all players? I'd rather just have the CF of the player show up.

You can't do it with just one key. You would have to go into each player in Limnono and just type "0" in the portrait ID slot, that would remove the players portrait.

I can try to do this when I have completed my classic teams roster.
