I have done the following steps:
1 - With BigGUI, I've opened
logos.viv and I've extracted all the 11 logos files of a certain team (in my case, Minnesota, which has "mn" as TEAMABR2). My new team has "vb" as TEAMABR2 in
teams.dbf;
2 - I made a PNG 256x256 file with my team logo;
3 - With BigGUI, I've opened the first logo file (the main logo of Team Selection screen),
logos~large~mn_l.big and I've extracted the 4 files (FSH, EBO, CONST, APT);
4 - With FshX, I've opened the FSH file,
mn_l.fsh, selected Texture --> Import and wrote "
vb_l.png" (name of my new logo file). New logo appears instead of Minnesota logo. Then clicked Save and exit;
5 - With Notepad, I've opened
mn_l.ebo and, at the end of the file, substituted "mn_l1" with "vb_l1", saved and exit (I've tried to do this with an Hex editor and results are the same);
6 - I've renamed all 4 files with "vb" instead of "mn":
vb_l.fsh,
vb_l.ebo,
vb_l.const,
vb_l.apt (NO modified .const and .apt files inside);
7 - With BigGUI, I've reopened
logos~large~mn_l.big, Edit --> Import and imported the new 4 files. Then selected the 4 old "mn" files and deleted it from the BIG file. Clicked on Rebuild (a doubt: Rebuild is needed or not?) and Close.
8 - I've renamed
logos~large~mn_l.big as
logos~large~vb_l.big and put it into %nbalive08%/sgsm directory.
9 - ... it doesn't work!!! When I select my new team in the Team Selection screen, NBA Live 08 gives an error (general Windows error) and returns to Windows.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So.. where I was wrong? I can't explain myself why it doesn't work, especially 'cause I've done the same work for other 2 logo files,
logos~wordmark~mn.big (image that appears over logo team in Selection Team screen, with a 128x64 PNG texture, doesn't work, same problem) and, mainly,
logos~large~mn_jsel.big (the image that appears as a shadow behind the main logo, with a 256x256 PNG texture, the SAME as the main logo... and it works!!!).
Please help me
