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

[Dekiu]

When I changed Delfino's or Turiaf's color their arm color is good but the legs is in old color how to fix that?

[bigh0rt]

el badman, can you make it so your tatoo file uses the same skin color as 3th's Tyrus Thomas cyberface? I believe his has the accurate skin color.

Hmm, weird, that shouldn't happen. Worked fine for me:



Make sure that you don't have any customized skin in your sgsm for Delfino (an armXYbase.fsh) and that he has 0 for color, 1 for bodytype and 1 for muscletext in your appearance.dbf, and also that he only has one entry (1 line) in this file.
If it still doesn't work, this should work:
- make sure you have Pdub's 2X textures installed in your sgsm, search for arm01base.fsh, copy and paste it somewhere else, and rename it cadelfi_leg_tat.fsh.
- drag it to the fshline .exe (u can find this program in NLSC tool section), open the newly created folder, you'll find a index.fsh.
- open it with notepad and change the line "texture_arm 0000.BMP" (or smthg like that) to "tattoo 0000.BMP", save it and drag the index.fsh on fshline.exe again to repack this under cadelfi_leg_tat.fsh.
- dump that in your sgsm. It should do the trick I think

I adjusted Ty Thomas skin color to match 3th's cyberface. I included the face in this .rar for those who didn't have it (I didn't): http://rapidshare.com/files/5780350/Ty_Thomas.rar.html (the face patch ISN'T mine, it's 3th's)

Could you post a link for Delfino new face ?
I can't find it .
Thank you !

[bigh0rt]

If he can find it, so can you, no?

Posting in somebody's release thread requesting something completely irrelevant is strongly advised against, Linus. Check out Live 07 Patch Requests if you'd like to request a Delfino face, or Live 06 or 07 Announcements for ones that have already been made.

Here's the original link, it was from felix, sorry I forgot :

I didn't wanna upload my version since it's not my CF, but I guess I can do it now that I know whose it was...Here's the link:

Remember that it's not my face patch, I just tweaked it, and I hope it's okay with felix and the mods, otherwise you can delete the post

[el badman]

I never saw Sean May had a tattoo...Here it is, along with Jordan Farmar's (I know somebody did it already, but it got messed up when I installed Pdub's 2X textures, and well, I wanted to try it anyway ):

Plenty of players are next: Lorenzen Wright (can't believe they didn't make his huge ass tats), Walton (his 2nd tat), Skinner, Batista,....

[cklitsie]

Nice stuff, I'm especially liking the Farmar tat cause I like the design. Keep it up.

btw. on your screens, Delfino's 'little friend' is hanging out.

[bigh0rt]

Sweet as usual, man.

Hmm, make sure you have Pdub's 2X arm/tattoo patch. A screenshot would also be helpful if you can.
I'd like to make Dorell's tats but I can't find any good pix . If you find some, be sure to send them my way and I'll do it

[LegoTP]

Doing tattoos should be hard, great work.

[tree55292]

what do you do just put the file in sgsm i I did that but I still have no luck with that difficult file what am I doing wrong do I need to put it in a sertont fold in sgsm

If you didn't tweak appearance.dbf (in your MyDocuments/NBA Live/saves/roster folder) and have installed Pdub's 2x texture patch, you just have to dump the tattoo files in your sgsm folder and it should work correctly.

Okay, I redid Luke Walton's existing tat and added his right arm tat, and I finally made Donyell Marshall's leg tattoos (didn't have great pix for those):









Big thanks to Pdub for his valuable tips

The more I see actual player pix, the more I realize all the tats that the game doesn't have... Rasual Butler, Lorenzen Wright, Udonis Haslem,...are next.

[el badman]

Okay, I finally managed to add Boozer's right arm tat, and I updated his left arm tat (it was filled with weird grey areas). Once again, thanks to Pdub for pointing me to the right direction with this
I also made David West's tats (left arm and wrists). They look a bit darker and better in-game:







I included Joker's face for Boozer in the .rar (hope it's okay with him ), since I adjusted the arm skin color to the face.

Thanks a lot Wayne, they're not that great but I'm glad some people here use them

EDIT: Damn, I just realized that Boozer's left arm tat is much more complex than EA's default one, plus it continues down his forearm and he has another tat under his right wrist...I'll update him very soon

[Wayne]

ok man..to be honest..i rarely view your thread..but since..i gotta keep on following this..i'm lovin it and i just downloaded them all..

[el badman]

Okay, this one took me a while...
I completely redid Boozer's left arm tat, since he added a bunch of stuff around the default tat (plus a forearm tat), so here it is, along with Luke Walton v2 (his new left arm tat was badly placed, was supposed to be more on the interior of the biceps):

Next: Lorenzen Wright, Haslem, David Noel, Donell Taylor, Batista,......

[Sacke12]

Thanks a LOT for your tattoo patches. They are great!

[el badman]

Here's Lorenzen Wright:

Lorenzen's tats look really good. I'll keep my eyes open for any good pics of player's tattoos for you if you want.

Cool, thanks!
Your portrait pix are amazing, I wish I could find tattoo pix like that
As long as u can see the whole tat and there's not too much shadowing, it's great for me.

[Wayne]

i'll be looking as well when i'm updating my shoe patch..
amazing job so far

[el badman]

Here's Paul Millsap:




(forgot to mention that in the readme, but his color needs to be changed to 4 in appearance.dbf - his PLAYERID is 2282)

I made a link for all the tats that I made, all in one package (the players list can be found in the very first post): http://rapidshare.com/files/7114845/All_tats.rar.html

Now, something not tattoo-related:
I know there's already a lot of roster patches out there, but I've also been updating the players.dbf and appearance.dbf files regularly (even religiously ), with the following changes:
- all ratings modified using formulas, according to actual stats (and common knowledge ), including stamina, primacy and 3pt attempts.
- many colors, bodytypes and muscle textures changed in appearance.dbf, as well as some of EA's default faces to make everything match (A LOT of players had ridiculous color discrepancies, or wrong bodytypes like Kirilenko, Atkins, Turiaf, etc...).
- of course, rosters are accurate as of 12/11/06 (Iverson is still in Philly at that point...), and a lot of positions and numbers are corrected.

Using REDD22's amazing v1.6 gameplay fix and this roster, I've been getting very realistic results when playing 10mn/qt games.
I believe the SUM team will come up with their own soon, and it'll probably be deeper and better, but if anyone is interested in this patch, I can upload the package. Just let me now
