Hex Editing Discussion: Shaders? What do we know?

So I finally got some free time, so of course I dive into researching crap about the game I don't know.

I did a hex compare with the modified crowd lighting I have and the default crowd file and saw he edited stuff under the "Shaders" parts seen all around iff files. I noticed the "Floats" work nicely, with whole numbers and such, and repeated other numbers.



I loaded up a Uniform and played with them a bit. I was able to scale the Jersey top, in replay mode only, so we could technically do the uniform scaling stuff without a modified exe file (although, when I did this the game didn't know what to blur and not blur with depth of field, blurring the uniform when it was in focus)


slight shrink for realism & comparison

Other values let me make the name on the back of the uniform disappear when in replay mode and other silly stuff.


So Global Lighting Guys, are these values what you are editing? I don't feel like syncing up textures and such in the globals to compare them....also, if you guys know this stuff, we could really do some amazing things with the uniforms (hopefully).

When you read this, Leftos, do you think you could make a little tool that searches for those Shader headers and then exports out the next 20-30 floats?

Yeah, should be easy to make a tool that exports all shader floats to CSV and then allow you to import them back in after editing them in Excel or whatever.

Give me something more specific than "20-30", and I'll do it soon.

now this is what were talkin^^

seanjohn1414, are these the values you boys have been editing?


That Tools Guy, CSV would be awesome,

IMO, find

Code:

20484C534C20536861646572

jump ahead 1C

then grab the float values for the next 2C of values, so, 11 floats. We can always mess with that later.

THanks

JaoSming, no bro.. not yet expermienting at those values.. but i will be ^^

Man, Rondo has serious spine problems.

bump so its easier to find

Jao,im really exited if you answer me Can you tell me how to hex edit the 2nd to 3rd row of the crowd to make it look brighter and the 4th to the last crowd darker.Thanks Man the thing is we are making a project a next gen project with the next gen scoreboard so we need the crowd look like this http://i.imgur.com/yPNuLOg.jpg thanks in advance man and we will put you in our credits if you help us my name in moddingway is Greatest N-G Maker

no hex editing, its the 3rd or 4th texture in the 2kx tool, it controls the crowd lighting. Experiment with that.



2Kx wants it to be a "bmp" it is really a RGBA dds file. Upcoming RED MC iff support works with this file nicely though.

and I got a little problem I can't run the NBA2K tool I open it it shows a year I click 2012 and nothing happens I updated my java but it isnt working at all thanks tho!!

2kx and Windows 8 have known issues, some people have solved it by updating Java, search the 2k14 help section for more info.

I dont even have time to work on my own projects, and this will require some research on how that texture actually works, so sorry, i can't help.


and please do not PM me after every reply. I check the forums, the PM on top is just annoying.

Jao,sorry about earlier are you using s000.iff to change the crowd?

sorry for the late reply, I missed it

iirc most of my crowd edits used s569, but anything I did on it should apply to other files too
