2K15 Explorer [WIP] [v0.285 Released]

[TBM]

Do you have an ETA on the release?

[PeacemanNOT]

TBM since you sound the most eager on getting this tool, what do you plan on doing with it. You've been very helpful on finding where everything is, do you think you could create a thread with a table of ids that people could base off when modding?

[TBM]

Yeah, I could do that.

And as far as modding goes, for starters, I really wanna get my hands on the court files and fix them all up, make the reflections more pronounced ect. And then for sounds, I wanna convert Archone's 2K14 sound mod, and then for my own personal use, custom music. And then when/if HD textures become a thing, make all the textures higher resolution that I can. 4K ball, HD rim, ect.

[PeacemanNOT]

That would be nice

[Venoms]

love to hear that....

[Venoms]

for me if someone have to fix the court,....the game absolute perfect....

only the court ? thats easy , i can create an UBR , just hope that greg will do a roster editor

I suck on selecting default colors, so if anybody has some default material color to propose, please be my guest

So as you can see, i am now capable of loading the models on the viewport. Concerning the way that the textures are stored and the way that they are assembled at the game runtime, its pretty impossible to make a full textured preview of the model. So this will be as far it will get for the models inside the tool. The rest will be done in blender and will include the texture json files. I'll come back into this with more information about the models (there is a lot of stuff going on and i still keep saying this but anyway ).

Great work Greg but I don't get the problem with Texture Preview on models...

..models have UV map coordinates why not just use them?
...or the problem for you is getting UV per vertex? ( I mean you can't find them yet)

Οf course i have found them, how could i preview lebron's head a couple of pages before in the topic.

The problem is this:


There are no objects separated in the model. Everything is treated as one object and the game uses custom shaders to load pixel imformation from a huge texture object which looks like this and probably the game calculates this at runtime.

And if this was not enough, the textures are not treated as they are stored. They are scaled by arbitrary amounts which are defined in the metadata.json files. I've not checked how this whole thing works, but i can be sure that there is no way to do something like this on the explorer tool.

sry i cant assist in research...

oh my god ^_^ I guess we'll use Blender ^__^ then

Well thats not enought either, i'll have to write such a shader myself, in order to assemble this god damn thing as well And guess what, i have no idea how to do this yet

[JBulls]

goddamn, keep on trucking .

[buddaking]

I'm seeing improvement everyday in your posts regarding your mod tool. Keep it up. You got my support.

[Orion Pax]

great job! Can't wait to used the updated tool

[gregkwaste]

Made some more tweaks on the GUI, removed the info panel. Now all the info will be rendered on the top of the opengl viewer

I worked a bit on the models, trying to make the viewer consistent with as more models i can, but this one is again kind of hard. 2K (and pretty much all companies) use different scaling in their models, when its up to body parts and arenas/stadiums and generally huge assets. So in order to make the 3d viewer to work i need to adjust the scaling somehow. I sort of made it but its a bit tricky.

I also wrote an obj exporter, so that you can export models immediately, and import them to any software you like for further viewing. No uvs, no normals for now, vertices and faces is all you get


Anyway while i was testing i found those

[johnnyman28]

very nice man!!!continue ur awesome work1!!

[Manni Live]

Fabulous work Greg!

[TBM]

You think it'll be possible to replace a player model with a female model and actually play as a female? That would make some of the modders very happy if so.

Nice work man, but white is fine rather than green.

Well assuming that the female models are lower sized than the main player models, i think thats possible yes, simply replace all the parts with the female parts. I won't try it though xD

in 2k14 it was not the same size , i have already try that

[Venoms]

is this possible that you convert the 2k14 court to 2k15....
