el badman's tattoos: TECHNICAL PROBLEM - DONE WITH LIVE 07

by **dizzle** on Wed Apr 18, 2007 2:13 am

it doesnt matter if he makes some tattoos that are in the game or not..since hes doubling the resolution and improving those tattoos as well

I'm still not too happy with it, but I tried to fix the contrast and to resize a few of AI's tats, so here's v.2:

Regarding what's next, I just realized that Marquis Daniels has actually his arms covered with tats now, so I'll need more pix, and I can't seem to find good enough pix for Curry, because his tats don't have a lot of contrast and they're pretty hard to distinguish from his skintone.
So I'll work on Jameer Nelson and Ronnie Brewer first.

It's much better now, man

And I'm sorry if I upseted you with ma' honesty..it happens to me pretty often, to make people mad at me with this..but as I say, if they can't handle the truth it means that their not true friends, right.. :!:

About the forearm with the panther tattoo..don't worry cause I don't think that you missed any tat..it's just that the panther should of been a little bigger and thus cover a larger part of his forearm, that's all :wink:

No problem man, I need more than that to be upset :wink:

I was just disappointed with the outcome because it started really well, but then I was lacking good pix, especially for this right forearm, so I knew it wouldn't look that great, but well...

Since I'm still looking for more good pix for Curry and Daniels, I'll do Will Blalock next, then Jameer Nelson.

try to make rodman,no need to re-do all tats on players who have them made by EA already

by **el badman** on Fri Apr 20, 2007 2:56 am

Well, Brewer didn't have any. That's also why I'll work on Blalock, Louis Williams, McCants or Anthony Carter at some point. For now I wanna add tats to the current players who didn't have any, then I'll see about Rodman.

by **Pretorian** on Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:23 am

Magnificent as always... :applaud:

you are for sure..the top dawg in the business, no doubt about it man.. 8-)

and I'm so happy that you will try Louis Williams soon :mrgreen:

for blalock, please match the skin tone with King James' authentic cyberface :idea:

Just giving you a heads up guys...
Because of some "technical issues", I cannot play Live 07 anymore, thus I will no longer be able to make any tats.

The longer version is that I've had some trouble after installing Jimmy's 9.7 gameplay fix. The fix seemed to work great in-game, but I had a weird side effect with it: it somehow disabled the "autoplay" feature of my DVD drive, also preventing me from manually opening or exploring any CD or DVD. I could still play my games because I had shortcuts for them and the DVD drive was normally detected, but I simply couldn't open anything else.
That doesn't seem to make sense but I suspect a conflict with Vista. Uninstalling Jimmy's patch did nothing, and only a system restore made my DVD drive work again. But for some reason, Live just can't be launched anymore, it gives me a blank screen... :wall:

I figured I would just reinstall, but there's a problem during the installation (a speech file that apparently can't be copied succesfully

), and now I'm screwed because I can't even install a clean version of Live (I tried 3 times). Again, I think that reinstalling on Vista is probably causing this problem, since I didn't have any issue with XP...
I don't have any time or money to waste buying a new copy or going back to XP, so fuck that, I'm just done with it.
Even though his patch caused this, I'm not throwing any stones at Jimmy, he did an amazing job with a bunch of things all year long, it was just bad freaking luck.
I'm just glad and flattered that some of my stuff could be included in the SUM release (which I didn't even get to try, nice irony... :roll:

) and hopefully, if EA finally fails to disappoint, I'll be back for '08 and try to contribute in some way.
Of course, this thread can be locked.
Cheers guys.

That's so much bad stuff placed altogether.

by **jthegreat618** on Sat Apr 21, 2007 2:56 pm

dang man it cant be, there has 2 be a way 2 fix it, so u moved every ounce of live off your system, the saves and everything? and then tried 2 install freshly again with clean copy and it didnt work? there had 2 b sumthing left hadnt there? also i think live works just fine with vista, i have vista myself and it works fine, i also managed fshx to work, fshx does work with vista (2 anyone that believes it doesnt). but yea hopefully sumthin can be done.

by **el badman** on Sat Apr 21, 2007 3:24 pm

Live was working fine with Vista for me too, but maybe because it was already installed when I upgraded my XP to Vista. Now that I try to reinstall Live, it just doesn't work.
I cleaned the registry and everything, I made sure there shouldn't be any conflict, but the installation just stops at 21% saying that a speech file can't be copied.
I'm not gonna format my HD just to try it again, I was getting so fed up with Live anyway...
Still, I'm pretty bummed out.

by **Seushiro** on Sat Apr 21, 2007 6:01 pm

Why is vista giving so much problems with programs that people had during XP. . . el badman I am gonna miss your patches thanks for allowing me to convert your stuff to 05 and update it. . . You are, in my point of view, the best tattoo patcher in NBA Live (Y)

hope you fix it somehow. . . if not I just hope to see your patches for 08. . .

by **njkobe** on Sat Apr 21, 2007 6:13 pm

hmm~I'm damn disappointed when i heard abt this~
I have a question though~did u re-install it in a new folder or the the previous folder where u installed live? Coz if it's the 2nd case~it may cause the same problem~

by **Pretorian** on Sun Apr 22, 2007 12:07 am

WHAT!

Man, you got to be kidding me dawg...FUCK! :furious:

I don't know what to say dude..I mean...shit! :shake:

I think you should check your PC for viruses man..ma' opinion..It might be that..frankly I never heard of this kind of issue before, and trust me I ma' self had some fucked up problems too whit this fuckn' shit of a game..But I'm telln' you this man,you shouldn't of installed that piece a shit of Vista, at least not now..you should of waited a year or two until all the bugs will be fixed..because the mother fuckers from Microsoft did the same thing like the mother fuckers from EA...they released it straight from the project board in their attempt to make quick money without testing the whole shit first..GOD DAMN BASTARDS,their thinkn' only about the money

Listen dawg, I want you to know that I'm feeln' you man..I mean..shit..like I told you..I had a lot of problems too whit ma computer over the years..but yours is fuckn' unexplainable man if I can say that :wink:

you know...But I hope that you will solve this problem soon and come back with even greater tats.WORD UP an' STAY UP BRO! 8-)

P.S:And just when you would of made ma' much requested Louis Williams :cry:

Ain't that a bitch..or what

hm maybe you can make a tutorial and other people will pick up the ball and keep going for you?

Thanks a lot man :oops:

I have a question though~did u re-install it in a new folder or the the previous folder where u installed live? Coz if it's the 2nd case~it may cause the same problem~

Nope I cleaned absolutely anything that would have to do with EA before I tried to reinstall, so it shouldn't cause any conflict of that type.

WHAT! Man, you got to be kidding me dawg...FUCK! I don't know what to say dude..I mean...shit! I think you should check your PC for viruses man..ma' opinion..It might be that..frankly I never heard of this kind of issue before,

I have 2 computers and the one I play on is never connected online, precisely to avoid any viruses or shit. I still can't understand what the issue is either, but as it is, I would probably have to format to be able to reinstall, and I'm not even sure it'd do the trick...
Also, the fact my DVD is a bit scratched, since I used it so damn much, might have something to do with it, I dunno. It worked well while playing, but maybe it could cause that particular speech file do not be installed properly...

hm maybe you can make a tutorial and other people will pick up the ball and keep going for you?

Well, I made that tutorial for cerv and I know he's already been making some good tats, Utopia too. And of course Pdub is the one who guided me through the method in the first place, so I'm pretty sure some more peeps will make some tats at some point.

by **Glen** on Sun Apr 22, 2007 10:43 pm

it's unfortunate that your status was caused by technicality el badman, and not primarily on your own terms

... but nontheless, thanks to all the detailed tats that you have made this year... (Y)

hope to see you again in 08... :wink:

by **Pretorian** on Sun Apr 22, 2007 11:54 pm

Don't give up man!... :applaud:

I still have my hopes up that you'll continue to make tats for 07! :wink:
