95/96 Season Roster Preview

Gerald, you really do a wonderful job Are you planning to make some jerseys or cyberfaces once you'll be done with the courts ?

You're giving this patch a flavour that will make it unbeatable

KD: Out of those on the list, I've only got the Magic, Clippers, Sixers, Grizzlies, Rockets, Knicks, SuperSonics, Spurs and Mavericks courts. Would you be able to send me the others please? I'll ask Bru about the Pistons' 1996 court.

Gerald: Sweet work as always.

Cklitsie: I've sent the art for the jersey files to the address you posted...did it arrive this time? The zip is about 930 kb.

Andrew, I will send you the courts as soon as possible. The mavericks and supersonics courts I will re-send to you with new wood textures.

Also, Bru said it was okay to use his patches....so you should use his New Jersey and Detroit courts. Also, you will see a Utah court soon, which we used Bru's retro Delta Center o-file as a base. I completed all the logos so Gerald just has to change the baseline and key colors and it will be done.

Here is the Delta Center.
This patch was done by me, gerald, and Bru.

Sounds good KD. I actually meant to send Bru a PM yesterday, but it slipped my mind. But if he's happy to let me use the courts...thanks Bru!

With the current roster patches set for the meantime, I can get back to doing the roster. There's only 10 NBA teams and the All-Star teams left to complete, it shouldn't take too long. I'm still not going to set a release date just yet though.

Cklitsie: I've sent the art for the jersey files to the address you posted...did it arrive this time? The zip is about 930 kb.

uhm no ...

maybe you could send it on MSN or AIM

Andrew, check your mail...I sent you the courts.

Here are some more previews:

Updated Sonics court -- I made the center logo more high quality and fixed other errors:

maybe you could send it on MSN or AIM

Looks like that might be the best way.

Thanks for the courts KD - love the latest previews, too.

Andrew I tried sending you the sonics court but it sent back to me...please make some space in your email so I can send it.

Strange...I should have had enough space. There should definitely be enough space now, if you could send them again. Also, which court did you want to me to send you to fix up? I'm afraid I deleted your previous email and it slipped my mind.

Account size isn't really an issue. The option to automatically empty the Trash in my Mail.com account was simply disabled when they upgraded their system. But thanks anyway.

Andrew I sent you the sonics court again..

btw, the court I need from you is the Dallas Mavericks.

Thanks KD, just got it. I'll send you the Mavericks' court shortly.

Indiana court

Right now I can't set a date.

Gerald, I forgot to make another logo on the Indiana that is on the court. On the other sides of the courts it is supposed to say "INDIANAPOLIS" . Like in this pic: http://www.members.shaw.ca/robdude14/pacerpic.jpg


And here is the updated Mavs court:

Also Andrew I am almost finished making arena pics for the main menu. I am making the screenshot in the arena select screen the 95-96 courts.

Hey I am working on a few cyberfaces for the mod.

Here is a ewing that I made a while back.



I can send that to you then Andrew if you want it. And I am also working on Big Country Reeves and BJ Armstrong at the moment.

Sounds great KD.

Looking good Zach, by all means send any player updates you're happy to contribute to the patch.

Just to update everyone: I've completed the Dallas Mavericks' roster today. Only 9 NBA teams and the All-Star rosters left to complete.

cleveland court:

Excellent work as always.

I've completed New Jersey and Minnesota today, bringing the total of completed teams to 22.

Teams to be completed:
Boston
Washington
Milwaukee
Toronto
Denver
Vancouver
Los Angeles Clippers

East All-Stars
West All-Stars

I'll post some more screens soon. I've been adding the courts and jerseys, and it's really shaping up nicely.

Retro Art

The courts are in Gerald and KD's capable hands, so the patch is set there. There's a few jerseys and a lot of faces that need to be done though.

Faces

Lots. Not as urgent as I've tried to make the created players look as realistic as possible. Retro team art makes for much more realism.

Jerseys

The following teams still need their 95/96 jerseys. If anyone has the time and ability to create these jerseys, it would be most appreciated.

Dallas
Golden State
Indiana
Philadelphia
Utah
San Antonio *
Portland *

* San Antonio and Portland's current jerseys are very similar to their 1996 jerseys, with only a slight difference to the lettering. The patch could probably make do with the default jerseys, but if anyone would like to make the old jerseys, I'd be most grateful. I can send some old NBA Live art files if need be, though I don't have art for the old Sixers or Pacers jerseys (I can't extract them from NBA Live 97).

I still can't say exactly when the patch will be released, but it's certainly getting closer to completion. Pretty soon it will just be a matter of polishing up ratings and other data then getting all the art into place.

Excellent I cant wait 4 this its goin 2 b awesum
