HEADSHAPES. EDITABLE. NOW! - tutorial updated.

www.nbalive.org

and let the patching revolution begin... much props to Arushan.


Headshape tutorial updated.
I've updated the MorphMesh headshape tutorial a little. It regards adding missing entries to a morph, like adding headband/goggle/dred entries to morphs that are without them, and giving patchers the option to edit them. For example, if a player doesn't have a headband entry, the chances are when it's enabled through DBF editing (example, to K-Mart) that it will be wrongly placed, and look ugly. The tutorial will explain how to add an entry to the morph which will enable the patchers, after converting a morph to a mesh, to edit the headband position in OEdit.

It's good to hear that, TONY. Thanks everyone who made it possible

cool..now i can start releasing work ive done.

Big Thanks to Arushan!

Take for a moment, it feels and debug very convenient patch enter game think the result each time. Hey, hey, other to seem that there is not any function .

the only thing not working for me is the adding the "rgbemulation" to the shortcut

u have to put a space between " and /rgbemulation

the only thing not working for me is the adding the "rgbemulation" to the shortcut

It has to be like this.

Code:

"...\OEdit\OEdit.exe" /rgbemulation

thanks for the hint

nice this is now the eveloution in patching

This may be a bit complicated, but if you are used to the UVMAP replace trick will understand.
Since there are headshapes that don't have headbands, dreads or googles, and you can't customize them, i found the position of the main headshape mesh in the o files (modifing it with oedit). With a screen resolution 1280x960 and Hexworkshop this data is between line 0090 (starting at the last 8 digits) and line 17A0 (selecting 48 digits), select it and paste it in a o file that has what you want. Now you can do the same withe the mapping, and you will have a player with with the accesory you want. After you'll have to do some minor tweakins with Oedit, like putting the eyes and mouth to the correct place.
The loda.o with no accesories have a size of 15 kb, 17kb for the ones with headband, 16 kb for googles, the Allen Iverson one has both headband and dreads.
Hope it helps.

nice Bru.
even though i didnt understand it all, ill try to do it :)
man soon its possible to patch everything. NBA Live 2004 is the best! :D

It worked Bru!!! i manage to give Vince a headband in the mesh file.... great work

Boy do I have a problem. I edited a player's loda.o file with oedit after converting it with morphmesh. Morphmesh converted the morph to mesh, and vice-versa, without a problem ( at least I didn't get any error messages).
I was also able to edit the converted .o file in oedit just fine, the perspective window shows the model I'm working on, and I applied textures onto it without a problem, but when I tried my work in-game the texture is somehow applied to the INSIDE of the head model, making my badass player looked completely messed up and unrecognizable! what did I do wrong?? (btw, the model I edited was Brian Grant's)

Since I installed oedit and morphmesh I've created four custom .o files, and 2 of them have this problem! the other two worked fine, and one of them is a blend_loda.o file (bodytype file). The two that didn't work are both player_loda.o files. Please help!

I think you have to turn off the INVERT Z??? before you convert it back to a Morph.
