[Look my voice to LP]

please, guys can someone help me??!
i know JaoSming can do it,or other couple of guys...
im need yr help
can u help me to create a litle bit shorter shorts for nba 2k10???
im need original shorts,but shorted a lil bit,cos default ones are to large.
its not hard i think,but i dont know how can i do it.
please(
or just wright a tutorial or something
anyone??!

[Look my voice to LP]

there r a patch with shorted shorts)
but for retro roster.
im talking about this kinda patch,but not so shorted.
just a lil bit.
take a look

cos default ones r to large and knee pads or undershorts sleeves not even seen enough


just look at VC...its like a skirt

VCs shorts always higher then his knees.he has a long legs.all bbal players have long legs,so if shorts gonna be a litle bit shorter then default,it will be great

[JaoSming]

open the cloth_shorts iff in the 3D tool

goto all the shorts models and extract them with the extractres button

open blender

import the shorts after deleting the default camera and that box thing (press A to select all, then just press delete and confirm delete all selected)

once imported, right click a line on the wireframe of the shorts to select them

where it says "Object Mode" which that to "Edit Mode"

Once in edit mode, press B to select verticies, then to move them, draw a short straight line with the left mouse and let go, then move them as you please. Or you can go into Sculpt mode and edit them in that (I dont know how to properly use that yet)

Once you are happy, export back into the n2km file and then importres it back into the 3dtool

remember to back up

thx Jao!
im going to work persistently to make my dream a reality
deamn,i so want it

[Look my voice to LP]

do i need java to open Nba2k10ModTool.jar?
where is that blender?
im just installed a programm with name "Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2009 32-bit",do i need this programm?

[JaoSming]

yea you need java

blender is a free 3d editing program, google can direct you to where to download it and get more tutorials

you can use 3ds max if you want to, I've never used it because I dont want to pay for it. you dont need it if you dont want it

[Look my voice to LP]

ok.im feel closer to my target...
every iff file is opening properly
but for a good headake, cloth_shorts.iff opens with this error "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException:22"
Jao - what should i do?

[JaoSming]

decompress it first, use the decompress.exe that came with the 2k9 iff editor if the program is crashing and not letting you decompress

[Look my voice to LP]

ok.
now im in a stage of decopressing.
i have decompress.exe and my cloth_shorts.iff file in the same directory.
when im run decompress.exe (from iff editor 9),its just nothing seems to happen.how it should be run?

[JaoSming]

you just drag the iff file into the exe, then it will create 2 bin files

[Look my voice to LP]

thx ^^
so i see many files.that r shorts itself in cloth_shorts.iff
I have extracted them all into one file shorts.n2kf
then im gonna open it in blender.
am i right?

[JaoSming]

no, you want to click exportres, not the regular export button

[Look my voice to LP]

no, you want to click exportres, not the regular export button

what file im need to put it in blender?
obj or 2nkf?
when im trying to open ,blender says that im trying to open not a blender file.

[JaoSming]

n2km i believe, you need to make sure you are clicking exportres when you have the model selected...

[Look my voice to LP]

n2km i believe, you need to make sure you are clicking exportres when you have the model selected...

i must export all models one by one or i can select them all and then click on exportres?

[JaoSming]

one by one...there's only 6 of them, it's not that big of a deal

[Look my voice to LP]

ok.
ive done it.
6 files,that include short models r extracted and named shorts1,shorts2,shorts3,shorts4,shorts5,shorts6 with n2km in the end.
next - im run Blender.then - delete this frist object in the startup,then - select file to open. and it says Error unknown file,its not a blender file .
Jao

[JaoSming]

import, not open


make sure you installed the scripts that came with the 3d tool in the scripts folder for blender

they are the.py files and i think the readme tells you where to put them


i dont remember where the folder is located, but google does

[Look my voice to LP]

if there r no scripts folder,what should i do? create it?
ok.ive created scripts folder,and put two .py files to it.now what?

[JaoSming]

http://www.katsbits.com/htm/google_faq. ... =&ucat=12&

can't create it, it's gotta be in one of those two locations, and it will have tons of other files in it

when it does, an Import n2km and export n2km option will show up in those menus

[Look my voice to LP]

ok.
nice.i love u Jao
works..
so i must import every file one by one in blender,and edit every file?

[JaoSming]

easy now buddy

yep, one by one and start a new file each time you want to import a new one

[Look my voice to LP]

hey Jao i made it.
once i edited all 6 n2km files.and saved it.
how can i put them in cloth_shorts.iff?
after i saved them they will have name with ''blender'' in the end?

[JaoSming]

instead of saving normally you wanted to goto the export menu under file and export n2km files, the same file type that you imported

then go into the 3d tool, select the model you want to replace and then click importres

[Look my voice to LP]

after i made it.just exit 3d tool? with no save?
ok.
really big big thanx Jao
you are one of those people whose one of the million.
THANKS!
