SUPERSTAR '08 AIACT 6.5,released 4/3/18

Lookin' good, I'll try it out right away.

EDIT: Played around with it, I like it!

I'll try to post a quick gameplay video.

I hope you can make a version of this with an inbound alley-oop play, even for just the halfcourt set. Thanks for this sir!

Sorry dude. Not interested in adding that.

Can you add some of the fss scorer lay ups to the the regular dunk package. Like the scorer fss euro step lay up. The fss reverse lay up from 07 would be nice too. Nd one handed fss finger roll where the player goes off the glass etc. I just think players who aren't fss should be able to do these moves too.

Ex: Rondo is not a scorer but he is just as much capable of doing a behind the back layup nd fancy reverse lay up as Kevin Durant.

I agree with the reverse layup. I actually was meaning to change it, but i forgot lol. I can do that and the finger roll.

As far as the euro step layup I think I know what you're talking about and i'm not a big fan of the animation. If you can post a small vid to confirm were talking about the same thing.

Im not totally satisfied with the assignment file but I'd like to see more passes. Any suggestions?

BTW thx for the feedback guys.

The alley-oop inbound play could come in handy specially at crunch time.
Hmm I agree with warrior, reverse lay ups should be good
anywayas, fantastic work sir

ATL, your vid is set to private. I cant view it.

The alley-oop inbound play could come in handy specially at crunch time.

It could come in handy ,but It can also occur 10x a game which is why i'm hesitant to put it in.
You can't predict when the alley oop is gonna be used. Alley oop inbound pass can occur any point in the game.

Let me figure out if it's even possible.

i forgot to publish it. you should be good now

btw i found a bug where when pressing the crossover button the player will constantly spin. I think i fixed the issue. I'll release the fix on next release

:lol: i forgot to publish it. you should be good now

yep its exactly the anim i was thinking about. I like the euro step part but the ending anim looks funny to me.

I'll add that too. do you happen to know the layup anim name?

unfortunately i don't but it's in the nba action 15 dunk.act. The one that says aiact.viv(orig)

damn thats a bug? lol ... But yeah why'd you get rid of the jab step nd the in nd out crossover. Those moves were very useful for pull up jumpers

edit: i think the jabstep nd in nd out crossover were in your 5.2 release

jab step was causing problems. The anim would turn to the side causing the player to jab step at an angle

i moved it to occur when performing the standing crossovers.

lol yah its a bug, not a regular spin but the anim would look like it got stuck.

I re added the right crossover and modified the 3pt layup to become a euro step floater.

improvements look great im going to try it

My mistake I meant to say the dribbling from your 5.3 release. I actually still use that one.

Optional: Fg and 3pt -20 pg's, sg's, sf's/ pf's, c's -20 3pt (helps get more realistic fg perecentages)

cool vid and sliders

I'm actually pretty satisfied with the aiact as it stands now. I'm going to release a 5.7 soon which adds a few things. Honestly, I dont even really play the game,but I finally played a whole 4 quarters yesterday. I'm not sure if there's anymore i could modify. I finally feel comfortable with the dribbling anim.

5.7 ADDITIONS:
- modified tiger assignment file to add more passing.
- 07 behind backboard layup and euro layup. per atl's request
- the inbound alley oop probably wont make it. the anim isnt doing what I want it to do.
- added a few more driving layups for small players while pressing the shoot button.
- new backdown turn anim. looks cool.
- a few prohop to layup anims.
known issues:
-the anim where the player jumps and travels bug. dont know the cause, but it doesnt happen often. I think you guys can live with it.
- there a weird bug where the player spins all crazy.

Other than that i think im done. any more requests? other than creating sigshots for other players. I still have to help devilish with those.

Well, I think it's pretty good too. I have some questions though: I have to ask, are mid range post-up shots available (like 12 feet or more out)? I've tried to do some in-game but usually they perform a standard jumpshot or fadeaway. Scoring with guards is relatively balanced, but big-men with good shooting ratings (FG and 3PT) seem to be missing that mid-range game. Also, have you been able to determine if the timing for the CPU-controlled shots can be altered? I ask this because since I use the CPU to control all shots, I have to depend upon the player being open long enough to release before they are blocked.

Given sometimes they are contested very late and can still score, I just thought speeding it up a little bit or perhaps if possible dependent on the sigshot assigned (quick release for R.Allen/S.Curry and so on caliber jumpers, slower for other lesser shooters) or player rating (FG > 80 would mean a very quick release, FG < 60 would be slower and 70s neutral)? As I understand it there's a single time (probably almost 1 or 1.5 seconds in-game) assigned for each release. I think sometimes certain animations appear to have a longer wind-up, but that's probably due to the animation's length.

Ratings have nothing to do with release timing especially since each player has a sigshot. Nd since I jumped the fg's nd 3pt to 60 nd 65, shooting should not be too difficult. I think it's because you are using CPU shot control on 25. That's obviously going to make shooting difficult. Bump it to 40 if you're going to use CPU control. I should've put that in my description.

Ah sorry, that was mainly directed towards BAYAG but you cleared some things up. I'm gonna try your sliders soon, I was just curious if CPU-controlled shots could be sped up. It's not a glaring problem or anything,it's perfectly playable.

ohh, well it's okay the aiacts are already good as they are.
I just want to ask, can you make a 270 lay up?

or a half spin lay-up?
