I added a detailed readme file for the instructions. Please read carefully for best results.

If you didn't like the green, you can try this much lighter green below:

and
As an option, you can use this uncoloured lighting below:

And please, do not give feedback without actually trying the patch ingame.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Look at these next-gen screenshots below:




I put these screenshots here, because i want you to notice the different lightning styles in each screenshot.
- Did you see the lightning on Yao's jersey? It's red and coming from the floor i think.
- Did you see the lightning on Dirk's jersey? It's grey because of the black stripes&lines in Germany's jersey.
- Did you see the lightning on Kevin's jersey? It's green because of Boston's green and again coming from the floor.

I mean, if someone makes different lightning files for each main colours(black,red,yellow,blue,green,orange,grey,etc...), the lightning would be more realistic.

EDIT: I also suggest the lightning colours of court-floor colours. So if players reach to the paint area(like Yao&Dirk in the screenshots), colour of those paint areas may produce some realistic feeling of lightning.

Maybe it's hard to do that. But we can make things easier. For example, lightning patchers make 5 different "lit5on5.ubr" for each color. We can just paste the suitable one into the sgsm folder just before starting the match.

If you think this works, please give your comments here.

Thanks in advance.

Thats Actually a good idea....I'm trying to do that just not with every jersey there is....its kind of hard...to do that with Old gen lighting...but i think if we make more lighting files...for lighting...we can make it really good....Your Idea is actually pretty good.....

Please check mines out

http://www.nbaliveforums.com/ftopic54043.php

write your comments on how im doing...I would be glad to here your suggestions.

P.S I also Noticed How the players skin kind of has some glowing type of thingy....which im trying to figure out how to add in my lighting....If we can get the players to glow a bit....that WILL BE siCK!!!!

Thats impossible to fix in the light.ubr bro boshandbargnani ive tried it many time but with no luck.

Man, i've just tried your new lightning. And we are talking about the same. I had a problem, and sent some screenshots in your lightning thread.

I know it's very difficult. But if you lightning patchers succeeded with the blue light, so, why not for the other colours?

I hope Babylei may take a look at this thread, and share some opinions

Have anyone played Jade Empire... It's just like that ahha

Huh? What do you mean ?! :S

Your right, I tried to add other Lighting files, It didn't seem to work.

Impossible with the version of Live for the PC. I'm sorry but you just can't do it without a programmer putting in lots of time to a game that doesn't have the visuals that would really benefit from it.

EDIT:

I deleted this post because of misinformation of the patch.

This time, it's generally based on "Babylei's Lighting V4".

Hope you like it.

BTW, sorry for he bad quality because of youtube's encoder.

I will help you mind welcoming me?

uhm...
its not also close though..
look, you the color reflection even if your not on the colored part of the floor... so what i mean is that the color reflects on the player everywhere...

My friend, i understand what you mean, but it's impossible with this current gen technology.
You mean:
I should make the AI think of reflecting the coloured light from the painted areas, and reflecting the other light from uncoloured areas.
But it is truely impossible with this current gen technology.

BTW, as soon as i think this patch looks good, i'll release it and you can give it a try

If it impossible stop work on that.

Trying to do my best

ok... and i'm glad that there are so many who're trying to make the game grafix better!....
nway...
thats a good job... keep it up!... we're proud of you patchers of NLSC and not of those fuckin' EA!

you patchers RocK!!!

**I released the red lighting. Please look at the first post.**

Chicago is Pepsi Center??? What happened to the United Center?

Man, I don't like the video preview...the green looks nice, but i dont like that the color reflects on the whole player. It should only reflect from the jersey, as it does in the pictures in the first post of the thread

Oops, sorry.

I'm just wrapped up in my blue lighting file for the Nuggets.
Post is fixed now.

Sorry.

Wish it does. But in NBA Live 08 current-gen, light reflects on the whole player model, not only shorts. There are two main color directions as:
- Coming from the floor that reflects on the whole player model from below.
- Coming from the spotlights that reflects on the whole player from above.(Sweaty-shiny effect).

BTW, did you try the patch ingame? I really wonder if you liked? Please give me feedback by trying in the game, not watching the video nor looking at the screenshots.

Thanks in advance.

Very good idea.. Hoping for the final release of this, and one more thing, can ou please make a preview which is in close up?

none to say

its ok on the game but on home jerseys
the red reflect on it

As i mentioned before, you should use red for red coloured courts. I mean, yellow & green colours on the Seattle court don't reflect red, right?
So, you need my green or uncoloured lighting file.

Well... It's time for the release of the full package. A detailed readme file included.

Look at the first post please.

I hope you like it.
