Of course, and in fact, I did that two times - in the Heat's and in the Hawks' patch. Why?

[Murat]

you could use it at hornets version - we could get the kwod and logos both.

I don't think so. In fact, I thought about using certain textures to realize the kwod - tcra, tcrb (the free-throw circle) and tlgc, tlgd (the secondary logo). But there are some reasons against this. The texture has to be transparent in the key area, and it could be stretched too much.

Oh, you mean the original Hornets' version. No no, this is even more complicated. In the original Hornets' binary file you can't even color the key, there are no hex values for this.

Nice work on the Hawks court. I'll get the upload approved ASAP.

Thanks Andrew! Unfortunately, I made a little mistake with the primary logo. It was distorted a little bit. Changed it and modified the upload. Now, everything is perfect with this court.

[hentzman]

Just a quick update!

This one is another modified court of Rix191, so thanks go to him too!

Guys, I know you are waiting for a roster update. As I said earlier, I have updated team rosters, player data and even salaries. But the ratings take most of the time and I will need some more of it. Buuut...

... you can get, what I've done so far.

Beta Roster Patch 2011-2012

You can play the roster, you can give a feedback and even suggestions. But there will definitely come an update in the next few weeks.

So long!

[Andrew]

Good stuff all around.

Good stuff all around.

Thanks! Yes, I'm very far with this, but I have to update a lot of ratings, especially for the rookies and improved players like Jeremy Lin. I hope they like it as a start!

Guys, I need a little help from very regular NBA watchers.

I wanted to make a backboard update for each NBA team. Something like this...



But then I saw in some highlight clips of recent NBA games that the backboard ad change regularly. So, do you think it's worth to do or not?

Maybe, I'll make such an update using the team's logo combined with a dotcom script.

[Andrew]

I think it's worth it.

[hentzman]

I think it's worth it.

Ok, Andrew. I will look then, what backboard ad is used most often by each team and then I'll make that update.

[Andrew]

Sounds like a good way to go.

[hentzman]

I'm back with a new court patch.

Have fun!

[Andrew]

Great work.

[hentzman]

Thanks, Andrew!

OK, I have a technical question once again. Maybe someone has a clue to this problem.

Alternate jerseys are limited to a few teams in NBA Live 2000 - Bulls, Pistons, Pacers, Bucks, Wolves, Nets, Suns, Kings, Thunder (Sonics), Jazz and Grizzlies.

All the other teams don't have a third jersey and it's not possible so far to change that fact. Of course you can add such jerseys, but they aren't chosen by the game. I tried a lot to solve this. I have...

- added bosun.fsh (for example), boawy1.fsh, boaw1.fsh fsh, bo1awy.fsh - NO!
- changed palettes within the jersey's fsh file - NO!
- changed the values in the column named "SUNDAYSHOE" within the teams.dbf file - NO!
- changed the date in the schedule.dbf file (dbdata folder) to a Sunday ... but NO!

Well, I browsed all folders, viv archives and fsh files, but there isn't any file where I could change something to get alternate jerseys for each team.

Personally, I think the game refers to a schedule file on the CD and it tests whether the team has a Sunday game. But there are teams other than the ones mentioned above that had a Sunday game in the 1999/2000 season.

Anyway, have a nice weekend!

I vaguely remember someone making a Sunday jersey switcher way back in the day, but I can't recall much more than that. It might have also been for NBA Live 2001, come to think of it...it was a long time ago.

Indeed, someone made a tutorial for this switching thing and it's still in the web... http://www.angelfire.com/games4/bru0/sunday.html

... but this solution I fnd to complex and not very useful. There has to be a simpler way. I mean, what reason the programmers should have to limit the alternate jerseys.

[[Q]]

i remember there was a switcher for 2001, but in 98 (and i tihnk in 2000 as well) they looked at your computer's date and gave you sunday jerseys on sundays, so i think you're just limited to the teams that had sunday jerseys in 1999
