Investigating animations files

[Za man]

Wow now Jimmy is in it too. now i excpect something more great from that fix or patch with ignatus and jimmy trying to figure it out can't wait to hear any news from u guys about it

[kb24s]

how do you that.... teach me tutorial please

[ignatus]

I have solved the freestyle problem, still no luck adding all he new moves together. Now I can add thrre point contest jumpshots (or only one of the unused GTMs) without problems.
Hope to have more news soon, the research continues...

[JaoSming]

have you tried the dunk contest ones? I had issues with it back in 07 because of take off and in air finishes as different animations. But again, i didnt really try too hard.

[dizzle]

wow..good luck on everything
i'd love to see how the 3 point shots look in-game

[Za man]

Very good news to hear that u solved the freestyle controlling problem ignatus actually for me i don't care much about seeing the three point contest shooting style in the game but i care like hell to see the unused GTM in the game so if u can hit us with a beta version that contain the unused GTM only for the time since u said that u can add it or the three point shooting style for the time being while u continue your search to test how it will feel in the game that would be soooooooooo great man THANKS IN ADVANCE

I think this thread should be stickied. Its the most significant subject on this forum at the moment. If you guys can figure out how to integrate 3 point Contest shots and dunk contest dunks (even a few), it would make the game much more exciting.

I don't know if its just me but I find myself bored out of my mind with this game at times. I'm always looking for updated AIACT by Jimmy and others hoping for new moves to make the game well....fun. I hope you guys figure all this out. If you do we would n't have to be robbed by EA every year with a regurgitated version of the previous years game. You up the research and the good work, we all appreciate it. Keeping my fingers crossed

[ignatus]

No more news about adding all the moves together, I have tried a lot of things and no luck, anyway I still have some ideas.
I haven't tried dunk contest slams in regular game yet, I am very busy trying to put on the new moves, I will take a look at that later (if I can't put all the moves together I can make a patch only with threepoint jumpshots and other with dunk contest jams).

Three point contest jumpshots look great in game, and now, to see how is this project going I have other video inspired in nba 2k8 comertials, this show a comparison of signature moves:

And this brings me an idea, I think this project must be called the It´s Like That Project"

Another day I will upload a new video showing some other new signature jumpshots, and believe me, they are a lot and look great in game...

[hoopwreck3r]

Good Job man!...somehow somebody is always there to save EA's ass every year!...It's Like that IGNATUS!...can u find a way to make a player walk?

[Wayne]

looks promising man, IMO i'd rather have more sig shots compared to activating those hidden GTM..but, of course..if you manage to find out how to activate them..it will make 08 much more enjoyable..

some of the sig shots from the vids are amazing..keep it up man and good luck for your project..

[Rugshtyne]

hey ignatus, what lighting do you use?

[ignatus]

I use babylei's SUPERLIT NEXT-GEN PATCH V3.0.

I'm busy now with sig shots to look what can I do with player walking, maybe when I satisfied with the new signature style I could give it a try...

[Angelo]

really nice video ignatus hope you can release it good luck bro

[Za man]

Hi ignatus i see that u r talking about a patch for the jumb shoots and another for the slam dunk but what about the unused GTM. Hope that u didn't forget about them i really care like hell for the GTM hope 2 hear from u soon KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[M@dDog]

Hi Ignatus,

Could you post a little tutorial on how you managed to get the 3pt sigshots in a regular game? If you could do that with the hidden goto moves as well, it would be great (I found them a month ago in the ea3names file too, but adding them didn't seem to make any difference - I obviously made something wrong because I still had the regular shot instead).

Indeed, giving a bit of your research to the community could allow more people to work on it in order to find what NBA Live 08 should have been when released.

Thanks in advance if you can find time for that.

[keem21]

I agree with M@dDog..
I think you should put a tutorial on how to put the 3 pt sigshots into the game...
btw, nice video..

[WebberF1]

Yes please. What maddog said. It's just a simple thing we can in the mean time while we wait for your great patch (the complete version).

Because even if you make a great patch, we might want to change a players shot because you can't make every single person happy. So could you give us a quick tip on how to avoid crashes and get the 3ptshts working ingame?

For what Ive done at the moment, Ive successfully added a custom sig shot. I gave someone Marions shot. As soon as I copied the values from 3ptshotselection and shot type.. to replace Marion's reg and reg2, and holds etc.. (with everything else kept the same) the game would crash as soon as you hit shoot button.

I don't know how long it'll be til you release this great It's Like That project, but it would be great to be able to do a little of this for ourselves while we wait.

Please.

[ignatus]

I continue investigating how to add all the unused GTMs but I didn't get good results yet, don't worry I will continue trying. The topic of adding new animations is a matter of replacing other ones, I'm trying to find the way to do it not replacing anything, but I haven't find the succesful way yet.

To see how is this going, a new video:

[looser]

Fantastic!!! Perfect sig moves

When the release??

[Spliff]

thats very nice release man pls pls pls pls release

[JaoSming]

looks good man, we really need to try and find a way to get these all into the game at the same time..

[ignatus]

All that moves are in the game at the same time, well kobe sigshot no because is based in an unused GTM, but the others work in game without problems.

While I continue trying to add the unused GTMs I try to recreate all the sigshots that I can, so if someone has requests give me videos and I will try to make that sigshot

[donzzz9]

Man signature shots are great man.. Release it man..please!!!

[Angelo]

i hope you can release this patch bro even if it is still in beta version

btw goodluck in finding and recreating some shots..
