EBO Editing Tutorial - Make your own stadiums and courts

[JaoSming]

This is an EBO Editing Tutorial which includes
The EBO Editor
FshX
the Tutorial
and a "sandbox" court for you to do whatever your little heart contents.


When you finish the tutorial I would Like you to please post your court in this thread so I can see how it came out, and if I need to change the tutorial at all.



Tips:

Save and Back-up often
this EBO editor isnt the most stable program in the world

Trial and Error is the way to go
Learn how to use "Alt+Tab" to switch between NBA Live 06 and your editors.

Share what you have
I got good because of the criticism I got (very little) but it helped me a lot.
If you dont want to post your tutorial court in this thread here, contact me thru e-mail, AIM, or E-mail and show me what you did.


I will upload an advanced tutorial and how to make your court available for 5v5 play later.




Enjoy and Good Luck

EDIT 1/31/07
If you want to use this in 07 you need to rename all of the pgym files to prac files. For instance pgymbbd.fsh => pracbbd.fsh.
I have made a tutorial in the 07 patching section that makes that process easier. Check it out here. viewtopic.php?t=44355



Back Boards Tutorial
Includes 3 different backboards.
Over Hang
Urban
Normal
and tells you how to put it in your court you made from above.

A LITTLE QUESTION ... I want to put a logo in the court how can i do this ??

I was going to put this in the next tutorial, but you have to extract a different court's
xxxxcrt.edo
xxxxcrt.fsh
xxxxcrt_vram.fsh

files and change the xxxx to pgym. then you just edit the courts fsh files like normal

Waovv!Thanks Jao,
That's great tutorial.You're king of the making court.

I SAY : STICKY !!!!!

I finished the ebo editing fine and everything looked great but when it came to the fshx whenever i edited something and looked in the game i would get a runtime error and the floor would have patches of wood and stuff.

sick tut jao, i made this:
http://jaxupload17.my-place.us/upload/34280672court.zip
i put 5 files in there, because i wasnt sure which ones i have to give you in order to show you the court so i put in all the ones that seemed like it :p

Make sure you save FshX often, like, every minute...

....and close FshX everytime you bring up NBA Live...it crashes when something 3D is on the screen


very interesting courts man , grate start tho, I hope that well see some great stuff from you in the future

Sticky it

Sticky it

and thanks Jao, I would like more help...the document gives you enough information on howt o make a court but i would liek to know more..can i add you on msn or somethin??

BUMP...just sticky this, wow im not contributing but it would help other people if this was stickied, then people would find it easier, and more and more people can learn how to patch, and that would be contributing...

Great court!

Nice stuff Jao Stickied

But you could at least have given credit to the people that made the programs though..

Sorry I have no idea who made the programs trust me, I would give the upmost credit to them if I knew who they are





and very nice court man, looks cool


Ill post a how-to on making the courts 5v5 ready soon

Thanks for nice comments

Just one question to Jao (or someone else): Is it possible to change the form of the backboard? Everytime I try to open pgymbbd.ebo with Ebo Editor, it crashes and says something like this: "Runtime error '6': Overflow". I think its possible because there was a different type of backboard in Andreas Dahl's Next Gen Practice Court.

gromit u dont need to open the ebo file, you just need to open pgymbbd.fsh with FshX, and replace the "obak" with your backboard texture.
