Jao's 2005 thread

[RJHNY1]

Any update on anything Jao? I guess you're working on the jerseys?

[JaoSming]

nah I've been workin on street 07. c0n did send me jerseys, but only a fraction are 512 512. If someone else wants to put them in 05 ill send you them.

[Seushiro]

Since you made the compatibility thread. . .Can we import some stuff on 06's and 07's xrms.viv to make em work on 05 like the headbands, above shot clocks, and alpha lighting for skin textures?. . . I mean my research led me to it and you're the only one who can help. . . I was just wondering if just like in the animations I extract some files and put it in 05 can it work in the same way?. . .

[JaoSming]

for the skin files try using the alpha layer like the ones used in 07, 06's shouldnt work. shot clock textures didnt change from 2005-07 i dont believe. and ive never actually looked inside the xrms.viv until just now. Looks kinda interesting. Try it out and tell us if you found anything useful.

[Seushiro]

I tried putting in the whole xrms.viv of 06 and it worked for a while but hanged. . . 07 cant work to little files. . . so right now I am trying out different combinations by extracting stuff and putting them to 05's xrms.viv. . . game works well though but cant see the changes. . . I still cnt have lighting my Laptop forbids me to. . .

[JaoSming]

pdub just deleted it in 07 and the game ran....so im thinking its a unused file.

[Seushiro]

well live 2005 cnt run without it the game hangs. . . in regular games it hangs late. . .

[AdamPerna2007]

[AdamPerna2007]

nice! thx man, is that released?

[AdamPerna2007]

on that top screen its stil called Gund Arena, can you change it to Quicken Loans?

[RJHNY1]

Jao, if Conrad's jerseys can't be used, then which jerseys will you convert for 05?

[JaoSming]

yes that is released along with every other NBA arena in my 2nd post. Yes it says Gund Arena, yes I can change it to Quicken Loans, but for now I won't be doing it. If you want to do it, you need to change the location.dbf in your favorite roster.


C0nr4d's jerseys can be used, he just doesn't have all of them. Right now my only plan for 2005 is to convert the 39 he did gave me + the downsized 1024 ones I found on my laptop. Other than that I think I'll be done with 2005 for a little bit. (maybe modify Seushiro's AIACT, but for right now I'm done)

[JaoSming]

Im done with 2005 for now people. Here are 50 of c0nr4d's amazing work that has shown up on G4tv converted to 2005.

Included Jerseys: H = Home, A = Away. S = Alternate, S => A, means I took the alternate texture and replaced the away jersey with it.

Code: Select all

There are some number positioning issues.....I really dont feel like correcting them so if someone wants to re-release this after using the jersey raptor go right ahead.

Enjoy it you guys! Long live 2005!

[Seushiro]

why did you replace denver away and cleveland away?. . . the denver nuggets numbers appear on the logo. . . I haven't seen cleveland yet. . .

[JaoSming]

if you dont like it you can just delete those two. I'd rather have the alternate in then still have the EA away. If i had textures for those two away jerseys I would have used them, but I didnt.

[c0nr4d]

niiice thanks man

[Seushiro]

I just renamed it to serd so the right numbers will fit Denver. . . Nice conversion Jao. . . and thanks Conr4d. . .

[BaltColts]

JaoSming,
I downloaded the courts that were converted from 07 and the had lightmaps included with them. What does your newly added lightmap do differently?
Thanks

[JaoSming]

look at the Cavs court in my post up there, see how bright the "white" is? What those lightmaps do is darken the courts a little bit so you can actually see the wood texture better.

BTW some of those might be lagoa's or looser's work. I dont remember/didn't check.

[RJHNY1]

Arget, since you're working with jerseys, do you think you could fix the number positioning?

[Arget]

um, i usually just patch using old numbers from an old jersey full patch i got before, i am slowly making all 30 teams home and away though...

[PcM_aDz]

Take a look at this washington jersey:



And what's the difference between 256x256 and 512x512 jerseys?
can i still use the jerseys correctly without any patch?

[Seushiro]

Nope go to nbalive.org and get DaNets 2x jersey patch so you can use that. . . you can see everything clearer if your jersey is double resolution. . .
