Guys, i need help for the JerseyEditor 1.1 64 bit... whenever i open the jersey file, it gives me an error saying, unhandled exception: offset and length were out of bounds for the array or count is greater than the number of elements from index to the end of the source collection.

I really need help on this, and i would love a reply ASAP

[JaoSming]

the Jersey Editor was created for 2k10, and the iff files have changed in 2k12. You can decompress the file before using the program, but it just doesnt support 2k12.

[dmaxx17]

So, is there anyway that i can change the number design of a jersey in 2k12? if can, plz help me out.... it would be awesome!

dmaxx17, you need to use the 3DM tool to edit numbers and letters. Export as a PNG and import with a transparent background.

Jaosming, how do i get the edited logos_sm/med/lg files to appear in game. They are edited but they still show the old logos.

[JaoSming]

make sure you are saving the dds files properly, with mipmaps

[jerikokai]

i can edit a logo file that has already been uncompressed, but the ones that are the orginal compressed files, i get an error in mod tool.

some one also said to erase the cdf file and it will re-appear in game but that has not happened either.

@JaoSming i have a question... what would happen if i delete the "Cache" folder on the NBA 2K12? coz its taking up a lot of memory..

C:\Users\Vin\AppData\Roaming\2K Sports\NBA 2K12\Cache

[JaoSming]

...not really appropriate for the thread but if you delete the cache folder, it will just return again after you play some games. It is where temporary data and auto replays are stored

[JaoSming]

make sure you are saving the dds file properly and are creating mipmaps

[ayarauuf]

Yes im saving the file properly in the right format using DXT5..well anyway, Mipmaps? what do you mean by that? before i will save the file then i will check the Mipmaps or when i load the file then i will check Load Mipmaps. sorry im really confuse.

[JaoSming]

when you save it, check the mipmaps box

[ayarauuf]

Thanks Jao..Now everything is fine ..

hi sir how can i edit a colorway of a nshoe? what tools should i use?

i know 2k13 is already released but i am stucked at 2k12 i want to learn editing shoe colorways since there are a lot of good shoe creators out there. please a simple step or a few images would really lighten me up. for now i do not want to touch RGB shoes i just want to learn editing colorways of nshoes like dwade's shoe. atleast i can start learning with that.

edit: i have downloaded gimp, + i have adobe collection. what add ons do i sill need? i also had a little experience on editing cyberfaces i wanted to have my own cyberface but i failed. i used stephen curry's cf id pasted my face but boom still looks like stephen curry. =0
