How can i edit the AI Act in Players.dbf using MS. Excel tnx

[Andrew]

aiact.viv and players.dbf are two separate files. The aiact is edited with notepad, dbf files are edited with any spreadsheet or database program that supports that file format, Excel included.

If you're talking about the assignments of Go To Moves and Signature Shots in players.dbf, you'll want to check out the DBF Editing Guides, as well as this resource:

Tnx for that admin.. but actually it's like this.. i have a good aiact.viv but the problem is when i used the latest NLSC roster the new players dont have ai's i mean their sig moves are the basics and normal...but when i use old TUP rosters all of them have sig moves

[Andrew]

That would be because the TUP roster has been designed to work with that aiact file. You'd need to take a look at the players.dbf file from the TUP rosters and update the Signature Shot and Go To Move values in the NLSC rosters accordingly.

Can i Edit the ai acts by using this program called "nba_live_08_editor_V.2.3_setup" ?

[Andrew]

Nope.

[Seshykun32]

Jeez really having a hard time

[Andrew]

There's information on aiact editing in the Tutorials section.

[Seshykun32]

Im so confused... what program i need to put sig moves to a player?

[Andrew]

Signature Shots and Go To Moves are assigned by editing players.dbf, which can be done easily enough with DB Commander. It's just changing a value in the appropriate column. Again, you can find more information on those values in the Tutorials section.

[Seshykun32]

can you link me the DB commander?

[Andrew]

It's in our Downloads section, under General Downloads.

[Seshykun32]

db comander 2000 pro 6.6?

[Andrew]

Yes. As the name should imply, that's DB Commander.

[Seshykun32]

Tnx admin.. so Db commander is the program to edit sigshots

[Seshykun32]

dunno which value to change tsk

[Andrew]

I feel like we're going around and around in circles here, answering the same questions over and over again. One last time:

DB Commander is used to edit the game's roster database (dbf) files. Most of the player data is stored in players.dbf, including which Signature Shot and Go To Move they've been assigned (if any). By changing the values in the appropriate columns, you can change which Signature Shot or Go To Move is assigned to a player.

If all you want to do is change someone's jumpshot style, say give someone Ray Allen's form, then you would open players.dbf in DB Commander. In this example, you'd locate Ray Allen, scroll across to the SIGSHT1 column (it's the very last one) and make a note of the value (in this case, 2). Then, find the player whose form you want to change, scroll across to SIGSHT1 again and change their value accordingly (once again, 2 in this example). Same procedure for Go To Moves, except you're changing the values in GOTOMOVE and GTMHOTSPOT. There's more information on Go To Moves in the Tutorials section.

If you want to do anything with the animations themselves, that's done by modifying the aiact.viv file with Notepad. Once again, there's more information in the Tutorials section on that.

I Tried editing the Gotomove Gtmhotspot and Sight 1 of Alexey Shved of Minnesota timberwolves with Ray Allen's Gotomove Gtmhotspot and Sight 1 values but still the basic shot....hmmmm

You are probably not saving it correctly.
