.iff file extension

http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/iff

Doing some research, seems the .iff can be opened up with Corel Paint Shop Pro. Has anyone tried it? Or am I thinkng about a different file type?

Its says it was created and used by Electronic Arts (EA), why is 2K Sports using it?

Seems as though there is 'different' types of IFF files. I don't have corel, hopefully someone with it will read this and try it out.

nope running latest versions of corel and adobe....nothing works....
ive tried at least 5-6 little independant apps that support IFF files also and they dont work...
this is some special compression i guess...

one thing i couldnt try is a IFF editor that works with the sims, but requires a sims.exe to start

The closest I ever thought I came, was an IFF image format that is used by MAYA. The plugins I found could not open 2K9 files, and a sample IFF file that I found looked nothing like 2K9's files in a hex editor.

Looking at the baballs patch releases, it looks as if there is much more than just images in the iff files.

damm coulnt it just be TIFF

according to this site there are a few more programs that could use .iff.

tnt23 - That sims IFF editor/viewer doesn't work either. I've already tried it.

damm ...guess we just have to wait ...

LDC1024 from Baballs.com has access to it. If we were really, really nice we might be able to get it.

Well, I and a few others have already stated we were willing to donate to the creation of a program, so I don't understand why they are keeping it under wraps. Once a texture importer and flynn's roster editor gets released, alot of great patches can start being made. I don't think being really nice would do anything because we don't even know who created it, just that members of baballs.com have a program, and obviously they haven't publicly released it for some reason.

i have pm'd ldc1024, requesting the iff tool but he has not responded yet, maybe if we get enough people and petition him to allow us to use the tool, He might listen to the masses and not one person whinging about not having the tool. Also if someone here knows how to speak chinese they could translate and request for the tool on "baballs.com" for us and back it up with the petition.

I.ve used a translator tool to search baballs.com for the tool but they haven't released it there either. Even with an online translator it's still hard to make sense of some of the posts there.

There is some reference of NLSC in this post below which i found on baball.com. I'm not exactly sure of what it says, maybe some who can speak chinese can translate it so we can understand.
this is the name of the post topic : About Babu forum's development question

Everybody knew that EGS left a series of non-external patches, regardless of being downloading or opens the homepage is the very simple flow operation, but Babu and the knight-errant are also alliance relations all non-external patches manufacture the non-external edition by the knight-errant forum's at external patch in the transformation
Now I was only want saying that the manufacture patch was certainly for everybody for 2k9 is more amusing, but are corresponding we were the free manufacture everybody must give us the full understanding as well as the respect? Non-external except had period of time probably, also let many people realize to EGS, also realized to Babu this forum, but the Babu forum was actually inferior with one day for one day, the patch under load capacity was many, sent the placard quantity actually few pity, original before planned is must reply can download, but considered the overseas friend and the convenience our populace's downloading, has not made, was not the member may download equally in the home page, but passed through period of time, I wanted to be too convenient, everybody regarded Babu downloading to stand. Babu downloads the station, is the EGS family, the Babu forum's development is to let the basketball fans at this discussion, is not under the patch, the racket buttocks walks. Can't on own initiative select, on NLSC, so long as you in that round of patch, even if you do miss again, so long as you, others will not have spurted attentively you, also the very aware receipt, I will not mean that others foreigner quality had high, but you if also thinks, made the patch not to have the reward, the receipt was we best reward, only then Pakistan spread a net the development to be formidable, we could contribute more outstanding patches for everybody the use, presses now every day less than 200 sent the placard quantity, said that the sentence was not pleasant to hear, Babu sooner or later dismissed. About the downloading patch, many people request to want the conformity to download together for them, we do not plan the conformity, because each person's demand is different, under also has more than enough one by one many time, but also needs each forgiveness. Certainly, in is suitable, we can leave the conformity package, now estimated that about next year month except the first section of promotion package, when the time comes will ask everybody to pay attention, last transfers the placard question, will have been published since the non-external patch, a extension placard big pile everywhere, in knight-errant, LDC1014 (EGS, also will be knight-errant's moderator) has said that non-external will only send in Babu, the external version will send in the knight-errant, then has not forbidden in the EGS authorization's situation to reprint any patch regards as the larceny behavior to other website including the overseas website reprint. Also has some members, the downloading patch, to uploads together the patch conformity to the net plate for everybody downloading, such idea is good, but this does not respect the patch the work achievement, Babu forbids outside the patch the chain, on the NLSC overseas friend, they downloads our patch is very difficult, but they have not uploaded ours patch pack to the net plate download for them, but is obedient one by one, does not have may deny, their this does must be much better than us. Hoped that everybody very much supports EGS, supports Babu, has any insufficiency, may raise, we correct with every effort, let us make the perfect game forum together.

I've done the same, searched high and low on bbs.balls and translated tonnes of pages with no result.

I think the basic message about that Babu thread is that they want to make their site the best for patches etc. to gain notoriety. And that they're not really into sharing the patches outside their site. That's the way I read it anyway.

check this out! maya was used!

I knew that already, since there is a file that actually sais MAYA in 2k9, but thanks, because many people may have not known that. That is why I think the IFF file can be opened in Maya somehow. There is an IFF format in Maya, but it is an animation sequence.

ther is some one that make faces patch with iff editor. this is the end of texmod? i hope so...

a chinese website has a group of patchers who are releasing custom iff files, but they are remaining hush hush on how they are doing it and havent released any tools.

Damn shame that we can't get everyone on the same page so everyone can start to create patches for the game. This is what makes online communities so great.

I will put up some money. I know others will too. Lets hope that our Chinese friends share.

It's too bad that they want to keep the tool for themselves. They would already get noteriety just for creating and releasing the tool. Now, by keeping it to themselves they create an atmosphere of animosity towards them from the community.

It will eventually get leaked don't worry.

check out those links, u can see who cracked the iff thing...

maybe somebody has a contact in that group 3dMGAME, maybe its in their forum... who knows...

The reason behind the tool not being released is that the tool is in chinese language ..
