File Structure - Filenames of Team Files & More

Remember to experiment but keep backups! Ask questions but look for answers in this subforum and past 2K tutorial forums as well!

General Files - These are files that control different aspects of the game. Check the other threads in this subforum for their detailed contents & purposes.

global - Everything from player models, accessory textures, ambient animations, some menu audio, menu art, in-game lighting, and much more.

jukeboxmusic - Game's Soundtrack.
cloth (with _param) - Models used for uniform shapes. Sleeved_v/wishbone are the sleeve uniform models.

Feel free to ask for other files' information, but the filenames are mostly self-explanatory. See below for team specific files.

I think you have to edit some number in Red MC, in jersey tab.

There is a option in REDMC to edit 'name' of the jersey.

Hi JaoSming and everyone, May i ask you for a help here.... i would like to ask, how to show players names on jersey? cox somehow the player name disappear on the jersey after i installed a mod....many thanks for ur help....im appreciate it.......

Hi TonyHill. Mine is just a try.

But some retro team don't have uniform names by default.
Same for uniforms lenght and tightness.
If you have edited logos/jerseys/names of old teams (CHI 91. CHA 93, LAL 72 ect...)
they will still keep the old values: uniform lenght, logo position, number position, ect...

So you should check with RED Editor for example the roster file
Go in the Team tab and see if you got the option to able/enable jersey's numbers.
I usually open another vanilla roster file (the default roster) and analyze differencies.

I'm just a beginner in modding so give it a try I am not sure.
For sure.Back up your file.
Mistakes are always closer.
Hope it's gonna work.

I'm still using this thread in July of 2017.
Just came here to grab the Team ID list.
