4 New Tutorials Uploaded.
Hex Editing the Bank of Names, aka how I did the NCAA and Street mods without overwriting anything
Hex on Steroids Tool, specifically court reflections and colors, but how to use the tool too
Roster Editor from Leftos, how to use it, fighting with copy/paste, roster compatibility
Differences between 2K12 and 2K13, tools, patches, basic ish.

My goal is to have the first minute or two sum up the entire video, then go into detail after that. Hope you enjoy and learn something. Feel free to ask for tutorials and clarification.

Amazing resource, thankyou very much

Just figured out another one how to import custom numbers and letters with GIMP, aka, how to index the png colors. Took me 3 years to figure that one out.......

Screw it! Another one! Adding a CF to your MyCAREER player through the Roster Editor.

Can't stop me, another new video, Copying a Player from One Roster to Another, by request

Hey Jao do you know what DXT hair files are supposed to be saved as ?

I save them as DXT5 and have had good luck so far. They do include an alpha channel.

thanks Duke

BlakexTheGreat My pleasure sir.

Just as a FYI to everyone, sometimes it is possible to just export headshape and textures from a CF from 2K13 and re-import them to 2K12 without any kind of editing. I just got done doing Tayshaun Prince in about 5 minutes. This will work best and maybe (only) if you export the same CF from each years game. I have actually done the the other way but that can be a bit more problematic.

thats what i do when importing a headshape i made from nba 2k12 to 2k13 or if i wanna add extra layer like a beard i just do that and edit the beard part

did a quick one to try out my new mic sexay voice enabled

Awesome.

Hey,
so im new to this stuff , so be pleased to call me a noob ...
Is anything of those Edits (especially the CF for MyCareer) possible on Xbox 360 ?
I hate those CAP faces 2k uses in their games...

yes its possible, but know that the roster editor hasnt been updated for the 360 files in quite some time, so it may not be compatible. Also, editing the 360 files like that converts your MP from earning VC to SP.

okay. well i tried it but i cant find my player in that My Career file while using leftos Roster Editor . he is not on ID 1035 or everywhere in that file. also the file seems very buggy ...
Is there another way to get an CF for my Player in my Career on 360 ?

wait for the REDitor

When I try to use the UV editor, the lines of the part of the court I selected doesn't show up, unlike the video tutorial. Anybody know what's going on?

make sure you are in edit mode, and actually have the UV window selected on that right panel like in the video

Damnit New pc with windows 8 and it's doing the same thing that started happening to me on windows 7 pc back on 2k12(the reason why i forgot how to do anything with editing cyberfaces and textures). I install 2k mod tool just the youtube video..have the latest java but every time i click on Nba2kXMODTool.jar it says "Java Virtual Machine Launcher A Java Exception has occurred." And then nothing happens....

try checking the forums and the internet with help launching java programs. I dont have Win 8 so I cant help you
