I've known that how to changes the players names (maybe also team name) in the Roster.
I can only replaced the letters now.

I've to translate the steps into English first.
I'll try my best to make more people understand my poor English.
So, give me some time...

[jerrygildner]

Coll I would love to hear how to do this.

You can change names in hex, but when you change that, it probably will be bug.

I see.

Do you know 2K9 Mini Editor by hades? That's a great tool. It can fix the this problem.
But you've follow the correct steps or the Editor would fail to open the roster.

[jerrygildner]

yes I use hades editor often. But it does not have a name editing option. If theres some kinda way to do this please post some directions and Ill give it a shot. andthanks for taking the time.

[Ballyoop]

[MeteoRzzy]

Thanks for your waiting. I'll start to write the tutorial of changing the names of original players when I back home today. Of course with the snapshot.

[jerrygildner]

thank you. can not wait...

[wtferrell]

Can't wait for this. Excellent work with all you've done for the game. this is going to make my MJ a reality with the right name.

can you figure out how to edit the color of legs as well? Thanks

[tnt23]

great news nice work

[wtferrell]

Any updates on this yet?

[eda]

Nevermind, I found it out by myself.
as a proof:

I changed only one letter, cause I didn't really expect it to work.As you can see.

[thelegend23]

how did you do that?

[eda]

Using UltraEdit, unfortunatelly I failed in replacing a short name with longer one and vice versa. As MeteoRzzy mentioned, in his tut with the dunkpackages, after you've saved your changed ROS in UltraEdit, you should open it in in NBA 2k editor by hades. But still, all credit etc goes to MeteoRzzy, if it wasn't his tutorial....so thanx,man.
Still waiting for your tutorial of replacing names.

[jerrygildner]

Yeah I thought I knew how he was eluding to also. But even following his other tut. I can not get the files to load after being edited. even with hades editor Iv tried everything I know how. opening hades before editing and saving in UE vice versa Nothing works just corupts the file. I'll wait on the tut but i don't have my hopes up for being able to do it because either Im stupid or I am doing something wrong.

[eda]

Actually there's no need of opening the Hades editor before UE. Simply open UE, change the name, save. Then open hades editor and save the roster, that's all.

[thelegend23]

how to change the name?i cant see a name in UE, am i missing somthing?

[jerrygildner]

yeah i tried that method also. But hades editor just freezes the crashes. I asume it has something to do with the way it saving it or something. I am running Vista 64 bit and UE 32 bit so maybe theres something there...
