Vlizzle's XBOX Controller Graphics

[WIzKID]

I'm with Magnum, first version worked great for me. However, on the 2nd version, the buttons on the 360 controller don't seem to correspond to the ones on the screen (ie. I think that the B button on the control represents Y in some portions of the game, the Y button represents the X on the screens, etc). Is this an issue that just I am having?

Yes guys, I'm sorry...I spent over 8 hours yesterday making this patch from scratch(because I lost the textures from the previous patch) so I was to tired when I made the XBOX Config. I will correct the errors and release the patch later today! Thanks for the heads-up !

EDIT: XBOX Config FIXED ! I updated the archive and the link on the first post. I hope I got it this time !

I was wondering if I get this correctly...

For the TexMod version to work, you need a fixed .exe that doesn't require Steam. However, there's no fixed .exe available for the patched version of the game? I've patched mine, and I'm loving it, so I'll need to wait for either an .iff version of this or a fixed .exe for the patched version?

Nice work, Vlizzle. I really appreciate the effort you put into it. Maybe you could make the textures available here so that someone can make an .iff version. Heck, I'd do it myself if I'd find the time.

Thanks, I would prefer an .IFF version to so I can use my own mod I've been testing it trough a friend from Serbia. I have the updated version too. I hope somebody would make an IFF version, I would happily give him the textures.

I think JaoSming postet it is the gamedata .iff.

[rh1noceros]

will it be enough for the iff version?

ps: this is an original size of both pictures(textures)!

[UPDATE]
In response to Vlizzle's request, I've made a different thread for my quick work-around.
Go here for more information: viewtopic.php?f=94&t=62931&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
[/UPDATE]

Vlizzle, maybe you could post a link in your first thread so people who have an updated NBA 2K9 and don't want to use a fixed .exe can find a workaround while you prepare your .iff release.

I quickly made an .iff version that we can use while we wait for Vlizzle's awesome work. If something goes wrong, I'm not responsible for it. I won't give support for this. This is just for people like me who want to play an updated NBA 2K9 with in-game buttons that are similar to their controller's, without having to use a fixed .exe. Personally, I'd even use these if I didn't have an xBox controller because the original buttons are too difficult to interpret quickly.

Instructions:
1) Download my gamedata.rar from http://rapidshare.com/files/185474061/gamedata.rar
2) Go to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\nba 2k9 (or wherever you've installed NBA 2K9)
3) Make a backup of your gamedata.iff. (Rename it to gamedata.bak or something like that.)
4) Copy the gamedata.iff that's included in the rar to your installation folder.
5) Play the game.

If done correctly, you should see custom buttons that replace the B1 to B12 when using the direct pass button. I haven't tested them fully because I've got some real work to do first. They're configured the way I like them, if you want them differently then wait for Vlizzle or get Iffset from this forum and make/upload your own version. (For those who want to do some more work on this, you can find the original .psd I designed here: http://rapidshare.com/files/185477987/969565E4_DXT5.psd, you can find a free .dds converter for Photoshop on the nVidia site.)

And for all of you who only read big and bold sentences:
This is not Vlizzle's latest version of his mod. It's a temporary .iff version that you can use while you wait for Vlizzle's .iff version.

Please make a different thread for your work. I just feel like this thread is becoming a universal "controller patches thread". No disrespect for your work...Thanks !

[MacBryce]

Of course... I've updated my previous post and made a new thread.

[lakers24-fan]

Yeah! Now everything is good

[Vlizzle]

Thanks !

Ladies and gentlemen,

It's my pleasure to bring to you the most detailed button mod made yet !
All areas in game where controls were present were changed with XBOX buttons and as a bonus, I made a genuine XBOX gamepad on the player selection screen.



Use this control configuration to get the best out of this patch:


Use this control configuration for the PC Config file:

Pause - Start Button
Time out - Back Button
Pass - A Button
Crossover\Take Charge - B Button
Shoot\Steal - X Button
Spin\Rebound|Block - Y Button
Post Up - LB (Left Bumper)
Sprint - RB (Right Bumper)
Dual Player - LT(Left Trigger)
Icon Pass - RT (Right Trigger)


Use this control configuration fot the XBOX Config file:

Pause - Start Button
Time out - Back Button
Pass - A Button
Crossover\Take Charge - B Button
Shoot\Steal - X Button
Spin\Rebound|Block - Y Button
Dual Player - LB (Left Bumper)
Icon Pass - RB (Right Bumper)
Post up - LT(Left Trigger)
Sprint - RT (Right Trigger)


The button graphics were(this time) made by me from scratch.
Please appreciate the time that was put into this project and stop posting stupid things and sending me dumb mails.
Also, be patient, I am working on a way to make an IFF file.


DOWNLOAD TEXMOD VERSION

THANK YOU FOR OVER 1000 DOWNLOADS OF THE PREVIOUS VERSION

I wait to .iff file

Do you really have to quote the entire post plus the pics just to say what you posted?

[Vlizzle]

I NEED SOME HELP ! SINCE I AM USING VISTA I CANNOT RUN THE .IFF TOOL, SO I NEED SOMEBODY TO MAKE AN .IFF VERSION OF THIS PATCH. I WILL HAPPILY SHARE THE TEXTURES. PM me if you can help

Just to make it clear about the IFF version !

I can help you with that but the problem that the IFFset tool cannot edit the global.iff file which contain most of the icons other than the direct icon pass which located in the gamedata.iff file so that's why we are all wiaiting for a better IFF editor tool that can edit big files such as the global.iff file

If that's the case I think I will wait for a better editor. Half measures won't cut it. Either we convert the full mod or we just leave it like that. Thanks Za man and thanks to everybody that helped me whit this mod. I will take a brake and hopefully I can bring a full IFF version to the table soon

[MacBryce]

Exactly, and those of you that want a solution while we wait for a better editor can find my .iff version here: viewtopic.php?f=94&t=62931

[Lenkbron]

Some buttons still aren't right in the menus, like when loading a game the button for going to the starting linups (it shows "A" but should show "Start"), but thats not that big of a deal, since most of em are right.

Stop peddling your patches on other people's threads. It's annoying.
You already have your own thread, just bump it up if you feel that others need your patch.

I see that I'm not the only one annoyed, I thought i might be overreacting. MacBryce, I know you want to help... but , again, it's annoying. Please comment on the patch at hand. Half of the posts in here are about other people's work(like the ps3 buttons talk). It's disrespectful.

[Double_U]

When is the iff-format of your patch finished, Vlizzle?

Look, I'm not peddling my patches on other people's threads. This is the only thread I've posted the link to and mainly because a lot of people here are apparently looking for an .iff version that changes the default button layout into something better. I had the same problem, I solved it, and I just wanted to let the people know that I've put a temporary solution online for them to use while they keep checking this thread for Vlizzle's .iffversion. It helped about 200 people by now even though I couldn't care less about spreading or promoting that fix. I'm not even going to bump it or anything. I just want to help the community, and I don't need you interfering with what's basically between Vlizzle and myself. Our discussion was closed and there's no need for you to open this. Next post, you have gotten Vlizzle as far as calling me disrespectful, while I have done nothing but respect his wishes and frankly, that pisses me off. As a result, we could now go on and on about this stuff in this thread just because you couldn't keep your opinion to yourself, and that's not very constructive, now is it?

Do you really have to quote the entire post plus the pics just to say what you posted?

B.Kobe shouldn't have quoted that, but seriously... Is that all what you do in this thread? Whining about everything you don't like in here and telling people what they should or shouldn't do? You must be a real nice guy.
