Changing Coaches

[Mark.]

Hey i was wondering how to go about asigning a team a new coach, i know how to change it in the coaches dbf, but i was wanting to make Karl Malone a coach and i thought i should be able to use his existing face patch for the coach model.......... how would i go about this and would it mean i would have to use customart??

If you use CustomArt, you'll probably encounter a crash. Yohance made a Johnny Davis face patch that I was going to distribute with my roster patch, but it caused the game to crash when I tried to advance to the playoffs.

Yeah but shudnt it work already cos they wud have a face for MJ or the Mailman, or would i have to do some viv magic stuff??

[Andrew]

Oh yeah, you could do that, work with the .viv files and avoid CustomArt.

The coach faces and the player faces are located in different vivs (Players=xplayer.viv Coaches=xcheads.viv). So, I think if you were going to make Karl Malone a coach you would have to copy his face files from xplayer.viv to xcheads.viv. I have not tried this yet, so I'm not certain that it is going to work. I was also planning on making a player a coach, so I have been thinking about what to do, I just have not actually done it yet.
