Modding Progress

Yep, that's what it was like last year. I thought people knew that already? That's just what it translates into so I gave it a correct translation.

I did not play 2K last year, I was still playing 2k16. So why have their been no full conversion mods. This seems like the quickest way to do it.

You can't copy to Create a roster and it doesn't copy images from online when copying from MyLeague. This was discussed last year, not really an option. There's a lot of glitches as well, such as missing euro teams rosters etc.

Can you do me a favor and start a new my league with 1 team. Replace their jerseys with a downloaded set of jerseys/ court. Save the file in game. Then find your myLeague saves on your pc and send them to me. If I get your myLeague to work on my PC with no missing images I will make a tutorial on how to create full conversion mods with this method.

If the art does not show up, there is still another way to make it work. I have already tried both methods using 2 steam accounts and they worked so far. I just need to try with someone else's files to confirm.

Also you don't need to save the roster in game because with limnono's trainer the teams will already be selectable for play now if we use F3 while in myleague and exit too main menu. All we need to do is share our myleague file offline. So we could just upload it to NLSC.

--edit:
Last year images did not show because you needed to have the files for those that are stored on someone's pc when a custom jersey is created. This year created jerseys and stadium design packages are sharable online. So these files are on 2K servers.

haha, I just discovered that you can upload real jersey designs online by just swapping save files.


example:



The jersey art on the right was made by TBM not me, all I did was swap his .iff file for the one Myleague uses (which does'nt use .iff extension), renamed it to "DataForMyLeague0005.team4_uniform_a_jersey" and it worked.

The Miami jersey does not appear in the design uniform screen at all , but when I go to ingame or roster it does appear


No more overwriting jerseys. I knew this would work. Also haven't had time to make video tutorial I described earlier but I have a made a fully fictional college roster inside of season mode that you only need to download 2 files and you will have all the teams and art already in those files no extra downloading. Just stick the two file in your saves folder for legit steam users and you have a full conversion mod ready to go.

Wow. So we CAN do single season mods this way...

Yes, single season mods can be done this way. I will check to see if courts are similar. If so then we can upload 100% accurate courts to 2K and others can download them.

Also you can make unlimited created players on pc by creating 150 and then swapping out the file in your saves called created player and make another set of 150.

Great news indeed! Appreciate the efforts, nice work.

TGsoGood, I have a question.

For the classic teams roster, I want to use the method you state above. I'll use it to change the euro team names, get them to 13 guys, and possibly do jerseys (undecided). Can you do a quick step by step guide on how to copy the roster to offline?

I will try tomorrow, because I am off work.

In the mean time, here is a proof of concept video I recorded a week ago.
In this video I start a MyLeague with college roster already available when going into the mode as you can see at the team select screen.
The roster was not 100% complete at the time.

Have you tried floors yet?

I am so pumped right now.

So in myleague. The euro teams auto change to NBA rules. Which means if we make the edits in myleague and make the roster available outside of myleague, we can do everything that way.

I am really fired up right now, in a good way.

Have you tried floors yet?

Not yet.

Update:
Good and bad news

I was able to use a court mod without overwriting any real courts using the MyLeague/ Season method that I used for jerseys.
I was excited so I tested uploading it to 2K in game.

I successfully upload Lagoa's Cavs full court mod (forgive the screenshot from last night, I was very excited at the time)


Here is where things went down hill. I needed to test the downloaded version of the court to see if it worked. After downloading the above court (instead of using my local MyLeague save file method) the court did not work in game. The preview of the court is perfectly displayed on the download design menu as shown in above screen shot but it doesn't work in game it's just a regular court that has playoffs logo.

So then I tested the jerseys I made yesterday... it got worse. In all the menus, the (miami) jersey is displayed correctly (as shown in yesterday's post).
When I went to play with them in a game or practice.... CRASH TO DESKTOP. EDIT: Jerseys are working I just had to restart the game.

Back to the good news.
100% accurate Courts can still be used inside of MyLeague/MyGM/ Season etc. without overwriting or replacing original game files, you just can't upload/ download those designs from 2K's in game menu or it will not work. At least until I figure this out.

So that means back to uploading our stuff to NLSC download facilities, we just need to name the files according to our MyLeague save file structure.

All of the above info only applies if you want 100% accurate courts/ jerseys for season mods or full conversion mods without overwriting.

If you are ok with less than perfect jerseys and courts then things get a lot easier because you can use 2K upload/ download designs from in game to create full conversion mods.
I am trying to put a video together right now. I don't have much editing software so bare with me.

The courts worked last night but I tried to make a tutorial today and it is not working at all.
I got the jerseys to work for summer league then they turned into NBA jerseys during the regular season. My head is spinning.

you can pause this video and see the Miami jerseys working correctly in summer league

The collars are the wrong color, though.

How do I copy the roster from MyLeague to offline?

Scrolling through college teams in play now

I just got back home after being away for about 2 hours (family interuptions)

How do I copy the roster from MyLeague to offline?

use limnono trainer to copy roster from myLeague to play now. You can't save the roster outside of a MyLeague or game mode type setting

The collars are the wrong color, though.

That because it was just a test. Turning collar off in the design screen allows me to see the collar and also you have to select the numbers in the design uniform screen.

I am running into issues trying to record videos. My wife has interrupted me so many times, and not to mention I have to let videos render...

How do I copy the roster to play now? and wait, so basically there is no way to copy a roster so I can edit the roster like normal in roster creator?

Sorry if I sound dumb here.

Edit the roster in ML and then export it to Play Now.

Sorry, I am saying I don't know how to export it to play now.

With the Limnono trainer.

No you can not edit the roster like a normal roster because the roster is only saved in memory not to hard drive. You must edit the roster while in MyLeague and then export/ copy it to play now. This is the only way I know to make rosters without needing to overwrite original game art using the "Modding" folder. The is most useful if you would need to replace many files such a season mod or college mod, fiba mod, or any full conversion mod that uses many art files. I just don't like swapping the files in and out. Everyone has different preferences though.

Okay, I get it now. Huge buzzkill, I was hoping to use the strategy to change team names/get euro teams to 13 guys.

Back to trying to figure out CE...
