How can I do this for a created player?

How can I do this for a created player?

1.You need to edit the players.dbf with:

ISCREATED : False
ID7: xxxxxxx (abbreviation of your created player's name)
PLAYERPKG: same as ID7
ORIGTEAM : any team you want.(exemple Bulls: 2)
TEAM : same as ORIGTEAM

2.Import the created player's "xxxxxxx.viv" file to xplayer.viv......

3.You can keep working...........

Thanks for the info JEN. This topic is now a sticky, for everyone's convenience.

Thanks again,JEN
can you teach me how to add new custom shoes to SHOES.FSH??

I 'll post a small toturial here lately about adding the shoes to shoes.fsh by using nfstool~~(y)

JEN:

In step #6 of your tutorial, you mention that we should import kobryano.fsh into xplayer.viv with eagraph. Just curious, did you mean to say that we should import kobryano.viv into xplayer.viv, instead? Why else would we have repacked kobryano.idx with vivmagic?

By the way, would it be better if I updated my originaldb, currentdb, and workingdb? I just don't want to have to keep going in there and making changes. Although, I guess that I will have to make these changes in the db whenever I d/l a roster update, right? Anyway around that? Why is it necessary to put an "o" at the end of the first 5 letters of the players last name (i.e. kobryanto.viv)?

One last thing, how can I delete a file from the xplayer.viv with eagraph? I accidentally imported a file I shouldn't have and can't figure out how to delete it

Thank you

Sorry I made a mistake,it's "kobryao.viv" instead.........
It's not necessary to edit files in "workingdb" and "originaldb"
but if you got the roster update,you need to edit or replace again the following files in your saves folder:

player.dbf (edited)
teamgear.dbf (replaced)

about the player's last name,you can put any lettre you want at the end or creat any other name~~~
if you want to delete a file from .viv files,you need to use vivmagic or eazip.....

Hi JEN ,if i want to add custom shoes to .dbf
what tools i can use it??

Hi JEN ,if i want to add custom shoes to .dbf

I usually use DB Commander 2000. But i bet you can use any .DBF-editor.

Adding custom shoes to shoes.fsh with nsftool.

1.Open shoes.fsh with nfstool.....
2.You will have a folder called "Shoes".
3.In this folder,you will get all shoes in .bmp format with 3 differents dimensions....
4.Open the file "index" with notepad.......and take a look....
5.You have to edit 3 parts......

I."SHPI 173 objects, tag G346...."it depends on how many shoes you want to import to the shoes.fsh ,for exemple, I want to add 3 more shoes,I'll have "176 objects"

II."BUFSZ 2500464..."you need to increase the buffer size, so here,I'll give "25004640"

III.It's the most complicated part......
copy another shoes.....like

sh01 0000-%d.BMP
MBP+2 60 x2 128 128 {0 0 0}
ETXT 70 sh01%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00
TXT 6F 66 0
,MAX:DXT1|0,16|0,HIGH:DXT1|0,16|0,MED:DXT1|1,16|1,LOW:DXT1|2,16|2%00
!PAD 6 000000000000

sh01~file's name.....here I'll take the example "shb0"

0000~image file's name.......if you have 173 shoes ,the last one might use the number "0173",now we want to add one more shoes, the last will be "0174"

The new text's content before "#END" should be....

shb0 0174-%d.BMP
MBP+2 60 x2 128 128 {0 0 0}
ETXT 70 shb0%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00
TXT 6F 66 0
,MAX:DXT1|0,16|0,HIGH:DXT1|0,16|0,MED:DXT1|1,16|1,LOW:DXT1|2,16|2%00
!PAD 6 000000000000

6.Now you can save the index.

7.Last thing you have to do,just move your custom shoes in .bmp format with 3 differents dimensions to the folder "shoes".

8.Open index with nfstool.
End~~:)

how can i get nfstool?

8. Find kobe bryant(lakers : Line 164),change the ID7 and PLAYERPKG to "KOBRYAO".

Why change the dbf files. Why not just replace the kobryan.viv totally?

Just curious...wouldn't that just save time and extra dbf editing when the new rosters come out?

How do I repack kobryao.idx with VIVMAGIC ? Since I have extracted them when they were kobryan, I only get kobryan.idx. And even after renaming all kobryan to kobryao (including kobryan.idx to kobryao.idx), repacking kobryao.idx would attempt to repack kobryan stuffs which it can't find anymore.

No need to rename .idx file~~~

step 6 under the Jersey portion isn't clear to me... I'm trying to put in someone's T-mac patch and can't get the jerseys in cuz I don't understand step 6 of the PRACTICE GEAR section.. please help ... and I did all the renaming of the Cyberface portion and it didn't even show up in game... HELP

i've tried to do it with a created player but when i have to import it to xplayer i don't have a .idx file to import....what i need to do?
Can i have some detailed imformations about doing this with a creted player thanx
