Jersey importing problems

Sat Dec 22, 2007 11:52 pm

Hi. I'm trying to import game jerseys. I followed instructions written in http://www.nbaliveforums.com/ftopic48622.php but it doesn't work...

- I created 512x512 jersey PNG file and called it texture0!buni.png
- I put it in fshline directory
- I put the original NBA Live 08 file newyhome.viv (sgsm/uniforms, size: 186 KB) in fshline directory
- I run 55 512numbers.bat
- A new newyhome.viv was created but size now is 6,41 MB :shock: In almost every number texture also appears a texture of the jersey... see that:

- With hex editor, I replaced every newyhome with avelhome (104 occurences found)
- Putting it in sgsm/uniforms, game crashes!

What's the matter? :cry:

Make sure there are no teamgear.dbf problems, first.

For example, rename the original newyhome.viv file in the uniforms directory. Then change the name of avelhome.viv to newyhome.viv and hex edit it replacing avelhome with newyhome(104 occurences). Play a game with the New York Knicks at home using the jersey to see if your jersey shows up. You can also make it newyaway.viv and look at a Knicks player in the edit player screen. If your jersey shows up correctly on the player, then the VIV is not the problem.

Dolffin cannot view the jersey fsh file, but FSHx can. Looks like you did everything right if you can open the VIV in dolffin. There is supposed to be many jersey textures with each number, that's how we get the high resolution effect. Making the buni FSH 512 causes the numbers to be out of place and that cannot be fixed.

You might be getting the crash because you have downloaded court patches that also have high resolution graphics. High res courts + 2x jerseys + other 2x patches(like armbands and tattoos, shoes, etc) = crash. There is a stickied thread in the 07 patching section of the forum called 2x jerseys and crashes fix.

The basics are to lower the resolution of the court textures.

I've tried something.

- Created newyhome.viv importing the new jersey. Ingame it works;
- Created avelhome.viv and avelaway.viv with 55 512numbers.bat. In edit player menu it works, ingame it crashes;
- Created avelhome.viv and avelaway.viv starting from newyhome.viv, importing the new jersey using FshX and importing the new fsh file with BigGUI, compressed and rebuilt. In edit player menu it works, ingame it crashes.

I use NBA Live 08 base version, I haven't installed court patches or something else.

Oops! Problem solved! It was my fault... i've already created location.dbf, so game crashes cause it didn't find stadium files, not the jerseys! Using Adidas arena or other existing stadiums, both home and away jerseys works! Thanks! bye :mrgreen:

I don't know what to tell you. So the jersey works in-game for the Knicks as newyhome.viv, but it crashes when you use it for your custom team? What court are you using for your custom team?

Ok. Cool.
