editing courts/stadiums

[SVSM/CC-23]

hi.
sry, but i thought there was a tutorial for editing courts/stadiums but didnt find it

edit:
my question is more or less how i can open the files with the, eg, 76ers logo on the court, in photoshop or other program so that i can edit it...

To open these files, you must first download DOLFFIN Live. Once you have it, go to "File" in the top left hand corner, then click on "Open Volume." Then go to your ....NBA Live 07/sgsm/stadia folder, and open up the file with the four letter abbreviation for the team whose arena you want to edit. For example, to open Philadelphia's court, you would click on phil.viv. After opening the .viv file(which may appear as a .big file), double click on the .fsh files which show up on the left side as "xxxxcrt_vram.fsh" and "xxxxcrt.fsh," where the xxxx represents the four letter team abbreviation, "phil" in the 76er's case. In these .fsh files, you can find bitmaps of all the on-court logos and lines, which you can edit by highlighting the desired .bmp file(s) and clicking on the "Export" button, which lies just beneath the "View" menu at the top of the interface. Export the files with any name you wish, and as long as you save them as you select .PNG as the format to save them as, you can now edit them with a third-party program(i.e., Microsoft Paint). When you have edited them to your liking, make sure that they are the same size(i.e. 512x512 pixels, not how much drive space they consume) as they were when you first opened them, and then name them with the original names of the .bmp files in the .fsh file. Now, go to DOLFFIN and open the .viv file back up, and highlight the .bmp you want to replace, then click on "Import", which is on the right of the Export button, and select your new .bmp. *****NOTE: Any files which have names that do not match up with any of the original files WILL NOT BE IMPORTED, and WILL BE IGNORED by DOLFFIN. Also, ALWAYS BACK UP ORIGINALS.*****
