NBA LIVE 08 File types? [Editing]

[k-d]

Hello everyone,
I have decided to edit the first post 'cause I read Pdub suggestions about patching, so why don't show them up?

The suggestions are:

Cyberfaces: 2x
Jerseys:
2x --> with 07 system
4x --> with 06 system
In 07 you have to re-do each number (from 00 to 99, something like 100-101 numbers!)
Instead, in 06, you can do just numbers from 0 to 9.
We don't know how will Live 08, until we won't have it in our hands.

Courts: 6x
These are the most important thing in my opinion (and also Patrick's ). We really need the best detail when we play the game.

The only reason that isn't allowing us to do 4x cf, 4x jerseys and 6x courts all together is because of the fucking EA graphic engine.

Today is 20th September. More than one month to Live 08 release.

byeZ, giovanni (this is my name in the life, men)

PS
If I wrote something wrong, notice it me, Pdub, please.

Well i dont know.

[k-d]

Mars2pac, maybe Pdub or Lean, or Conrad, know something.

k-d, none of us will know until we have the game in our hands. I will be renting the PS2 version when it comes out to take a look at the files and see if they went back to 06's kind of jerseys or if they will stick with 07's system. But knowing if we can 2x nevermind 4x jerseys like we used to will be unknown until we have the PC version in our hands.

Let's pray they went back to the old way. The numbers in 07 were ugly. Not to mention If you made jerseys you had to make every individual number.

[c0nr4d]

yeah, hopefully the 06 format will be back...

goodluck on checkin it out Jon

[Lagoa]

Serious...

I dont think EA changes 07 jerseys!

[JaoSming]

actually I kinda like the current format

It allows for specific jerseys to be tied to specific numbers (see my latest video in the sig) but I just wish the base fsh file would be 512 and not 256.

Anyway, there is no reason why we cant play with 512 jerseys right now....pdub fixed the courts to work with 512 jerseys in SUM v2 and we got those handy dandy batch files to import the texture into the vivs.

[k-d]

let me understand..

with 06 format you have to do each number?

[joejam999]

let me understand..

0-9

In 07 you have to make each number graphic. 00-99 all 101 numbers.

[Patr1ck]

Let me put it this way. Come October 2nd, we will find out the format of 08 jerseys and whether it is like 06's or 07's, or unique. If it is like 07, you can expect a set of 2x jerseys with 2x numbers by the release date, October 30th. Also, there will be no 4x jerseys if the 08 format uses the same as 07. It's crash city.

I hope all court patchers keep this in mind when they decide to make court graphics 6x and make it impossible for other parts of the game to also have higher resolutions.

[joejam999]

When I make courts I do 2x at the most.

[Lagoa]

Exist one patch to update all NBA Jerseys to 512x512?

[Patr1ck]

Exist one patch to update all NBA Jerseys to 512x512?

Not at the moment.

Not at the moment.

Okay! Thks bro!

[k-d]

I hope all court patchers keep this in mind when they decide to make court graphics 6x and make it impossible for other parts of the game to also have higher resolutions.

Yeah, I agree.

So, which resolution do you suggestion for the cyberfaces?

[Patr1ck]

No more than 2x (512x512). There is no reason to go any higher on such a small part of the player model where the fine details will rarely ever be seen. Actually 256 is fine.

[k-d]

Do you think that could be possible converting the best cyberfaces made for 07 (most by Uto and KJ, then all the others) to 08? I should just resize them from 3x to 2x if they aren't already 2x.

I saw in the first trailers that EA didn't update any cyberface; an example:
the fuckin' cyberface of Nowitzki (already seen in default 07), with the horrible brown hair.

[Patr1ck]

If the format is the same, you wouldn't have to convert at all. Resizing them is up to you.

[c0nr4d]

actually I kinda like the current format

i hear ya, but i want the 06 format back, because it allowed for 4X jerseys which I could make look like next-gen jerseys if given the opportunity...

[Patr1ck]

The current format could allow 4x jerseys if we could hack the memory resources of the game to allow for more texture memory, or of couse, just resize the damn back numbers like we could in Jersey Raptor.

Updated first post.

no offense but k-d, I'm annoyed by your cuss word and that fugly face on your avatar

[joejam999]

I should just resize them from 3x to 2x if they aren't already 2x.

If you do that (blow up the original) they will look the same and just take longer to load.

What's up?
Don't you like my avatar?
Where is the problem?

I may change it, anyway I'm really disappointed because of your behavior.
