[help] Adding logo to a custom team

[Tomoya_Okazaki]

I have some trouble regarding to "how to insert/put your custom logo to your custom team".

Well, i followed the tutorial in the wiki section (link here) regarding to this. I already made my logo using photoshop and saved it in .png format to keep its tranparency. The sizes of the logos matche the size of the logos that the nba live 08 have. (I exported the .fsh file inside of the big file that i want to use as my guide or something. That's why i knew th size of the logo.)

After i have done that, i used DOLFFIN to export the files inside the .big file that i chose and which is suitable for my created logo (you know, there are lots of kind of logos like the wordmark, the one we see in a portrait and etc.). I changed or renamed the two letter abbrev. and changed it to my team's abbrev. I also made my .png logo into a .fsh file using FshX. I removed the original .fsh file and changed it to my logo's .fsh, then i reuntied the three files (ebo, apt, const) together with the .fsh file i've just made using DOLFFIN. The filenmame of the big is correct. I even double-checked the filename to ensure that there would be no failures. After i made the .big file i placed it inside the sgsm folder and then i checked it out.

Unfortunately not a single pixel from the logo i made was seen in the team select menu (in the quick game).


BTW my nba live 08 is using TUP 12 mod.


Any solutions regarding to this? tnx!



And last thing, i've got some questions:

1. Do i really need to save my logo in .dds format instead of .png because it is the picture format that the tutorial said i must save my created logo? (I am using a portable CS3 so it's hard or impossible to put an additional plug-in)

2. Does my method in merging or reuniting right? If it isn't can you provide me right one?

3. Am i Handsome? lol, just kidding. i guess that's all i can ask.



Thanks in Advance!

Try this.It is what I do.



Export the fsh file that is in the big file with either Dolffin or bigGUI.
Import your png file into your fsh file with fshx and then "save as" whatever name you have it.
Import your fsh file with bigGUI and then press the rebuild button(the blue one with the letter "R" on it),then close bigGUI and place new big file inside your sgsm and try it out.

NOTE:You have to make sure all of the files inside the big file are the same as the actual big file name.

Example:
logos~wordmark~sn.big
(files inside the big fle)
sn.apt
sn.const
sn.ebo
sn.fsh

tnx for your reply Dc311.

Do i need to rename the abbrev. (ebo, fsh, const, apt), and change it to my team's?

or change the abbrev. of the output (the .big file)?

Everything needs to be the same name.
