If anyone wants I can write at tutorial on how to change the lighting in your stadium. Also how you can change the color of the crowd.

SHOE MARKING PROJECT PREVIEW


I got this Idea a couple days ago and decided just now to try it out. I edited the court lightmap to get this effect. This is just a test so some of them are obviously to big or dark. But do any of you think a patch like this has potential?

Thanks Andrew for letting me use your file (Utah's center court logo) from your 95-96 roster patch for Live 2004.

[Tony Divence]

way to go, looks great!! ..more of these classic courts please

EDIT

maybe you can do some classic clippers court from the 90's?

[Joker.]

Looks very good

[BaltColts]

Looks great. I agree with Tony. More of these classic courts please.

[*$#Elijah#$*]

Great ! If your planning to make retro courts it will be a dream come true for tony divence and me

[Big Daddy]

great court

[joejam999]

Does anyone know where I can find pictures or layouts of classic courts? I would do some of the courts from the mid-late 90's for the roster patches. I could pull out Live 97 on the playstation but I don't know how accurate they are.

This jazz court would be perfect for the 95/96 roster patch.

[Tony Divence]

i have the NBA Live 06 court files for 97/98 rosters, i can send them to you if you like and you can take a look from them..i didn't found any sites for classic arena layouts, maybe someone found??

[joejam999]

Don't the courts from 06 work in 07?

[Tony Divence]

yes they work..but i don't use them because i have to copy them to sgsm folders and then it replaces the original ones and then when i use current rosters i have to delete the classic ones from the folder..

is there any way that when you load for ex. 95/96 rosters it loads the classic courts for them?..

I just thought of something. Someone who is more experienced in Team DFB editing might be able to confirm this. Say you were using my court for the 95/96 jazz in your roster patch. Could you assign my court to that team like in the DBF change the court to utah96crt.fsh or ut96crt.fsh) then rename my file utah96crt.fsh or or ut96crt.fsh). Then it would use that court and not the original one. (utahcrt.fsh)

Just a thought. I mean in the DBF it has to tell it what court/court file that team uses right?.

[Killa KMS]

great work man i cant wait til the release.

That could work. TEAMABR4 would be the attribute to rename.

[Tony Divence]

hmm i tried that think with classic Cavs court changed the clev.viv to cl96.viv and all the files inside cl96xxx.xxx..then changed TEAMABR4 to cl96..but it crashed ..anyone with a solution??

[IceCold]

Wow... the old times

[joejam999]

There might be more in the DBF files to change. I hope we can find a way.

Having had a more thorough look, I've seen that TEAMABR4 points to the jersey .viv files as well, so unless they are renamed to match the new value the game won't find them resulting in a crash.

[joejam999]

Thanks for the heads up Andrew.

[Andrew]

No problem. It should just be a matter of making sure any art files that utilise the TEAMABR4 value are correctly named, which should only be the courts and jerseys.

[UltraNIX]

i like those courts a lot, because barely nobody except me, glen and notorious are making retro graphics....

[Tony Divence]

guess i have to create jerseys for all the teams also ..luckily most of them are in game and i can just rename them..nice KeyArena, very good job

[*$#Elijah#$*]

that's right ! too bad nobody except 3 or 4 people is interesting in making retro jerseys, courts, etc... btw, nice key arena joejam999 !!

[BAYAG]

so true..always good to have retro stuff.........i havent patched anything for a while...just been really busy


btw..good job on the courts you might want to use the stroke tool with a matching wood color to blend in the delta center logo.That should get rid of the jagged look...
