Everything I Know About iff Files (Trying to do HD Textures)

First and foremost, if anyone knows Ariel from ModdingWay, please have him contact me over this. I've tried PMing him through here and the Contact Us from the ModdingWay site multiple times.


There is no way I can properly explain this through text, so I failed to do it through video instead.

That text file, as promised,

Code:

rebuild entire package at end of file?

single package files (NBA Ball)
-figure out what happens with the packas, models
-sizes, offsets, need to move models
-textures are happy, models are not.


Compare the headers of my "default" texture sized floor - Fixed Celtics Parquet Size and Baseline Logo
vs Mythbuster's floor that has "HD" textures from Ariel - TD Garden HD

Or look at these,

Headers.rar

and of course, from the video,

Custom Res and Location Courts.rar

More than willing to try and help get you guys to my level with this. Any help is appreciated.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

I think Mythbuster is using the 2k12 courts, because it is compatible to 2k13, right? I'm not sure. But i made to a conclusion like this because Ariel is not that active right now, so I'm thinking that's why they're so many different hex on the files.

I remember asking him if he can make the CF and Jersey HD for 2k13, he answered "well no because the way that 2K creates the jersesys files mixing the mipmaps" and "faces and jerseys are a messed up with mipmaps".

I will try my best to contact him, to contact you sir.
