Thanks a log guys. You seem to like it exept for the crowd, but as I said, I couldn't get it away even after several tests...
Andy; What do you meen with delete the crowd?
Also what happend with the installation? Yes all the files are suppose to go in that directory but I don't see why they wen't somewhere else...

And yes, those are retired jerseys from the "Tribute to some retired members of the NBA Live Community" over at dotorg. (y)

how bout making the crowd fsh transparent? have you tried that yet?

by **Andreas Dahl** on Mon Jan 03, 2005 1:03 am

I've tried everything I could come up with twice... :wink:

The crowd is bound to an exern file, that consist of three different crowds. Those three files are used by all arenas and changing them would change every arena that uses it. I also tried adding another file with an transparent crowd, that didn't work...

So unless someone figures out how to get rid of the crowd in stadiums I guess we'll have to live with the fact that there is 20000 people watching you practice jumpshots... (n)

20000 pixelated, faceless people watching in a dimly lit stadium.....

by **Andreas Dahl** on Mon Jan 03, 2005 2:51 am

Could it get any better? :wink:

I will experiment with a few more stuff but I don't think you should get your hopes up...

by **Big-D** on Mon Jan 03, 2005 4:45 am

i thought of that as well but can you imagine 20000 pixelated, faceless people
slowing down your game

great addition!thank you

Great texture on the floor. Love this patch. (Y)

Boosting this thread from more than ten days ago, but what if youd make a shortcut for separate installers. If you want just to practise or do 1 on 1 youd run a file that installs empty seats in the court, and if you want people back on court your run the patch that adds crowd back in game.

Any ideas?

by **Null17** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 2:45 am

the thing is. no one knows how to remove the crowd yet

by **Chris_23** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 3:15 am

"The crowd is bound to an exern file, that consist of three different crowds. Those three files are used by all arenas and changing them would change every arena that uses it. I also tried adding another file with an transparent crowd, that didn't work... "

Im not talking about removing the crowd, but replacing the crowd texture files. The above is Dahls post, and from what I understand he did say "you change crowd here you change it everywhere" so it should be possible to have every arena with crowd replaced with chairs? I could have misunderstood his post of course, but still if this could be possible then perhaps there could be two shortcut patches that either use every court with people or every court with chairs...

I repeat, I might have misread his post.

by **Andreas Dahl** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 4:06 am

Theoretically I suppose it's possible. I could look into it and see what I get.
Thanks for the suggestion, keep em' coming... (y)

by **Chris_23** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 4:21 am

It would be very nice

Also could you give some insight into patching a court like this. I understand you replaced the practise court with actual team court, but what are the exact restrictions in this matter? Also the dim light, did you make this light so dark by editing some number some place I have no idea of?

by **Andreas Dahl** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:38 am

I managed to remove it just like I did last time. Although here's the good part: I would have to include a 270kb file for almost every court in the game... And that would be rather bad if you ask me. I will mess around with it and try to make it to a minumum and see how it goes.

by **Chris_23** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:54 am

I wouldnt consider it bad, about 10Mb isnt bad for a patch, there is the other one (small one) available anyway that you released earlier..

by **TheGuRu** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:04 am

Yeah thats a good idea. And Good Job on the court. Love it, besides the pressuer i get on my jumpers since the crowd is staring at me its good! And 270 kb for what like 20+ Courts isnt bad. But Good job. (Y)

by **Andreas Dahl** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:11 am

Apparently the file with the crowd gets currupted every time I try to edit it, so it will remove the crowd yes, but it will look really bad since I can't ad seats. Here's a screen of how it looks:

I guess It's better than crowd though huh? I will play around with it and see if I can get it to look better without actually adding seats.

by **Chris_23** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:37 am

Looks very nice even without seats. Seats would be really neat though

You didnt answer my question before, how can you exactly do such a patch that replaces training court with actual team court one. Id want to make a court that looks like United Centre but for practising (with empty courts), and dont know where to begin.

Also is the dim light your own making? If yes then how?
