[KidJustin]

[George7]

[KidJustin]

logos created, but i cant preview them cuz i made it using live default logos (i'm running TUP)

...but i can do jerseys...

tried to keep it simple/classic


again i need help adjusting the numbers

Nice Jerseys

[Andrew]

Thanks for sending through the latest. I'll put up some previews as soon as I can.

[jeloooo]

hey can we include this court?

[Andrew]

It doesn't really fit the project, being NBA Street themed.

[jeloooo]

can we just replace the nba street online logo with a nba jam logo?

[Andrew]

We've already got an NBA Jam themed court. That's the one we're going to go with.

Some new previews! A huge thanks to KidJustin for the Special Characters jerseys, the NBA Legends logos and artwork and the NBA Live Jam court.

And as a special treat, here's a short work-in-progress video of the LIVE JAM rosters in action

Please note that there's still work to be done with player ratings and dunk packages, but I thought I'd put that out there as a teaser.

WOW!!!

[Andrew]

I know, KidJustin did a great job on the jerseys and other art so far.

[KidJustin]

KIRK HINRICH WITH THE MONSTER JAM!!! BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA!!!!!!

awesome how things turned out! hopefully someone can fix the numbers on the legends jersey.

are there any previews of the legends logos? i want to see how they turned out.

Do the "special characters" need a logo for a team? or are they just for the free agents for now?

[George7]

Great!Will the big head thing move on?

Here you go:



I reckon it came out great.

We can get by with the NBA logo if need be but if you've got any ideas for a custom logo I'd be happy to use one. Maybe something similar to the centre court logo that the court uses, or perhaps the Project logo you made?

At the moment ej17 is working on the rookies, which I agree should be the priority at the moment. So there's nothing new on that front at the moment but it's still a great idea if we can get it to work.

I'm going to change every NBA team's location so that they play on the LIVE JAM court. I think that'll capture the classic NBA Jam feel, negates the need to create individual team courts, won't require users to overwrite the regular NBA courts and will allow easy switching between regular rosters and LIVE JAM.

KJ, can you send me the jerseys you do? I can make portraits for them.

[KidJustin]

Badger, i already made portraits...the only thing needed is the reposition the number location

[KidJustin]

sorry for double posting, but i just thought about this...

Andrew, assigning all teams to the same court is good for easy switching purposes...

but what about other things?
-big heads? are u planing on making new playerpkg for both the .fsh/.ebo and the players.dbf?
-free agent jerseys? there is only one agenhome and agenaway file in the game
-aiact? the JAM one should be more arcade-like....whats the plan for easy switching with that file?

-Settings (sliders) is fine since u have an option of saving two sets (NBA LIVE 08 and Custom)

i'm not doubting u, i'm sure u got it....just making sure u dont forget since i just realized it now

also, if this MOD will be created as an "easy switching" type mode....whatever extra teams u make, i'll make logos for TUP10 as an option for people that are using that MOD

[George7]

aiact has to be as fun and as flashy as ever.If we can find an aiaact containing many flashy pases many flashy dunks it will be great(maybe that Jhiane posted in the TUP thread,from which we took dunk.act only?)

About the big heads.It will be impossible making this mode easy for switching and keeping the big heads as well.That way every time players will be big headed despite wanting to play a regular game and not a Live Jam one.

yea we only took the dunk....i think 07 had a street mod with a good/flashy aiact

as far as big heads....since we (ej17) have to make new .ebos anyways....then the 10 players per team can just have their own .fsh and .ebo and portrait

ex.
normal mode
db: Kobe Bryant KOBRYAN
files: KOBRYAN.fsh KOBRYAN.ebo...etc.

JAM mode (big head)
db: Kobe Bryant KOBRJAM
files: KOBRJAM.fsh KOBRJAM.ebo...etc

[Murat]

Wow... Nice idea.

[Alpha_]

spam comment duh haha


anyway what aiact will going to be use?

[George7]

yeah,maybe if we use an aiact from a street mode(you mean the mode by Jao,if i remember?)

[Healer2k]

KidJustin, nice idea buddy....
no problem to rename it...
for now on i will start to make big heads....

[KidJustin]

George7, i believe that's the one...but i'll leave it up to Andrew to decide

ej17, well, we still need Andrew to come in and decide what is best on how to name things and how the easy switching will work
