This is a small tutorial on how to make the edition for the accurate shoe patch
I'm using CDBFlite program instead of manually editing the database you will find this faster and you wont have CODE ERRORS.
The CDBFlite program is really powerfull tool and is easy to use check this site

You need to have all Seraph's Shoe Patches and the last SERAPH ACCURATE SHOE PATCH
First of all copy & Paste the following text in a NOTES BLOCK
@ECHO OFF
:start
CLS
ECHO Installing Seraph's Accurated Shoes Update Please Wait...
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=JEONEAL /field:HOMESHOE="724";AWAYSHOE="608" /update
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=TRMCGRA /field:HOMESHOE="254";AWAYSHOE="255" /update
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=EMGINOB /field:HOMESHOE="609" /update
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=EMGINOB /field:AWAYSHOE="610" /update
:end
ECHO.
ECHO Shoes Updated.
ECHO Press any key to close this window...SERAPH
pause >nul
del cdbflite.ini
del cdbflite.exe
del seraph.bat
EXIT
NOW Save the changes made in BLOCK
TAKE A LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING CODE:
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=JEONEAL /field:HOMESHOE="724";AWAYSHOE="608" /update
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=TRMCGRA /field:HOMESHOE="254";AWAYSHOE="255" /update
You will notice that if you are familiar with SQL is pretty much the same
as you can guess you need to edit the ID7 for each player (you got for instance JEONEAL for JERMAINE O'NEAL , and TRMCGRA for TRACY McGRADY.
YOU can use also some lines in this format....
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=EMGINOB /field:HOMESHOE="609" /update
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=EMGINOB /field:AWAYSHOE="610" /update
Is basically the same but this format is slower in the update, I'm using ID7 EMGINOB for Manu Ginobili,
If you want to know the ID7 for each player open the saved game database with any database editor and check in PLAYERS.dbf the PLAYERPKG colummn is the same than the ID7 in the APPEARANC.dbf
For almost every player in the game the ID7 is the 2 first letters of the player NAME and the 5 first letters of the LAST NAME (see the examples above)
Now take a look at the shoe list and replace the number of the shoe for home or away shoe
For instance:
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=GIARENA /field:HOMESHOE="263";AWAYSHOE="269" /update
The above one is the code for Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizard , if you check the shoe list 263= Adidas GDL (WHITE/BLUE) and 269=Adidas GDL (Black/White) lets say I want to change the shoes , cause you want to use the amazing Orange BULLETS 1970 jersey.
So in the list the adidas GDL Orange/White is the number 637, change the number of the shoe in the code.
EXAMPLE 1
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF WASHINGTON WILL BE HOME OR AWAY
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=GIARENA /field:HOMESHOE="637";AWAYSHOE="637" /update
EXAMPLE 2
IF YOU ARE SURE WASHINGTON WILL BE HOME TEAM
"cdbflite.exe" appearance.dbf /case /filter:ID7=GIARENA /field:HOMESHOE="637";AWAYSHOE="269" /update
Now that you made the changes you need to save the file, so got to FILE....SAVE.
AND NOW YOU NEED TO BUILD THE .BAT , just click FILE... SAVE AS.... SHOES.bat
Now extract all the files contained in the SERAPH ACCURATE Patch, in your ....\My documents\NBA LIVE 2005\saves\..(each saved game you want to update) and replace the SERAPH.bat for your own .bat
RUN YOUR .bat
READY TO PLAY lol
After you played the game , just RE-RUN SERAPH'S accurate patch and all will be back to normal
If you want to play again with the ORANGE BULLETS jersey and the matching shoes, just RE-RUN the .bat everytime that you need.
I hope this is Clear enough.....
with cdbflite you can edit all the database, for instance a make a small. bat for using Ben Wallace with afro in home games, and without afro in away games
