2K15 Explorer [WIP] [v0.285 Released]

[TBM]

TBM, U are Greg's mom? Cmon dude!

Hold your horses bro. The question is not for u.

No, I gave you the answer. Deal with it.

You started off in this thread bitching and complaining about how the tool isn't coming out fast enough for your liking, and now you keep begging for the tool early. If you want a 3D editor right now, how about you code one yourself instead of begging and complaining? You haven't contributed one thing to this tool. Not a bug report, not a filetype that hasn't been found yet, not a donation, nothing. It's just "Give me, give me, give me". You come off as incredibly bratty.

The tool will be released when it's ready to be released, and that's all there is to it.

[tjangel07]

Woah great update! Keep up the good work!

Hey Bro, AGAIN, RESPECT....i have contibuted for this community and make patches for last 8 or 10 years, AND U? So, you not the owner of this tool, IT´S GREG, i see u disrespect some guys here act like "owner tool"... so, again, HOLD YOUR HORSES and all be ok.

Greg, thks for your work.

[PeacemanNOT]

It's true, TBM has really done fuck all compared to Lagoa No worries, just be patient Lagoa and like you said all will be okay.

[I Hate Mondays]

I will try to end this dramatic conversation here and ask Greg if the new tool allows us to apply more files at once, instead of one by one. Thank you in advance

Yeah, it´s just a question for Greg, but if´s not release this days, no problem, of course ...

The DRAMA is not started by me. And like "I hate Mondays" say, this conversation end´s here to me.

Nope this (according to the timetable) has been planned to be the major update of version 0.29. Its way too much work, and needs no rush, because a single mistake in the code and i'll jump off the window

Lagoa: Even if i wanted to send a beta version, it practically does not do anything new at the moment, even if you could export the models in 2k15 format, there would be no way to import it back.

PS: Hi Mom

[Vino]

Even beta version which allow us just EXPORT the head models with uvmaps would allow us a lot more to do with cyberfaces.

P.S Respect for dedication!

Greg, thks for your work.

You haven't contributed shit to this tool, so no "respect" needs to be shown. Stop being selfish and let the tool get done. This isn't all about you.

No problem Greg, but the v0.28 open patch textures right? Like Cavs and other new 2k courts. (inside 1P and 1O, i believe)

Yeap 1P and 1O are completely moddable like all the rest archives.

Even beta version which allow us just EXPORT the head models with uvmaps would allow us a lot more to do with cyberfaces.

P.S Respect for dedication!

Well you don't need the new version of the tool for that. You need the Blender Script which is going to be released first eventually, after the export capability has been added.

Just a little more patience. Once i got some more time i'll finish this stuff.

[Lagoa]

Nice Greg....wowwwww, i will change floor for CAVS, NETS!

[Manni Live]

Im about to cry...Great fricking work Greg,quick question would we be able to see a 3d court preview as well?

Ah, yeah i completely forgot to test that after the latest fixes. So i just tested it and the court looks like this:
[ Image ]

Pretty much the same stuff works here as well, so i think that all models will work like a charm (unless i haven't implemented a very specific parsing function that a part may need in addition to all the existing ones, but thats a matter of seconds to fix, if it happens). I bet this particular 2nd uv map should be the all-in-one court map, but the sure thing is that modders will check this stuff after i release the script.

Relax, nobody is forcing you to do anything. I'm only asking the creator because he said he worked on the OC import but got into the in-game transparent issue. No confirmation if it had been fix or not so I'm just wondering if it is even possible to import to OC folder where Tmac cyberface and much of his files are located. There is also the issue of whether if it worth it to buy Photoshop if OC can be import 100% or not. As far as cyberface, I find MOST, like 90% of cyberface are accurate to real life which 2k did a good job with only a few exceptions are not acceptable cyberface standard. Tmac is one of it. The other is Yao. That's why I care the most about Tmac as he is my favorite player and many Tmac fan would love to see a real Tmac revive in game. His game is the most beautiful to watch! However without a real Tmac cyberface, I probably give up on NBA2k15 and wait for NBA2k16 if they can add more legendary team in the 00s which included '02 Orlando and Raptors and so forth. That's the hope. 2k is not going to do Tmac since he is not a hall of fame.

PS: I have about 2 weeks to play this game nonstop until GTA 5 PC comes out, then I will spend less time playing game on NBA2k15. Also trust me, I have watch a lot of tutorial on making cyberface (based on old NBA2k13 and NBA2k14 tutorial). All tutorial lacks clarity so I'm sure I'm not the only one confusing. If I know how to do cyberface, I would do the much needed cyberface like a Tmac, Yao Ming, Gheorghe Muresan.

Well i did not have time to work on that 0C issue, with all the rest stuff going on, so i can't confirm a fix or anything for now. Its still an issue and i have no fucking idea why this does not work. To be honest i had only made one test ingame, i'll make some more next week and i hope that its not happening anymore, cause i have no idea what else to try :S

Full support man,what your doing is an amazing thing keep it up greg

[InFaMouS ny]

nice, hopefully people could start creating some of the upcoming rookies when the new tool releases.

Hey brother!

Great stuffs, when will you graduate? I hear about school stuffs before.
I just want you to get ready because if you keep that kind of phase, no doubt you will be one of the "NLSC to 2K".
But please finish the tool first. Hehehe!

Thank you for the hardwork, looking forward to the release

I've already graduated, i'm on a master right now xD, and i'll probably graduate in 2016
I'll finish this first i promise xD

[skoadam]

gregkwaste, hope it will work for 2k16, hope 2k wont change system of files in the future, its late march, still a lot of things to do for you, so 2k15 is lost already. Great work greg

[eko718]

Greg, thank you for all your hard work on this; That tool is looking real nice. Much respect.

[Tha King]

gregkwaste, Wow, that's a good news. And I'll note that promise. I have to agree with skoadam.

[JBulls]

Glad to see you back Greg, thanks for everything you're doing. Got a couple of questions:

1. Will you be able to add/remove geometry from 3D models? (Would like to be able to edit the court lines or add new geometry for example).

2. Can you add or remove textures on 3D models + remap them? (Again, mainly interested in court editing i.e. adding new logos to courts).

Thanks again.

[NickTheMaj]

You're doing the lords work Greg.

[PeacemanNOT]

So what's the Jazz?

[gregkwaste]

I got some very sad news (at least for me)

I completed the blender model exporter 3 days ago. I immediately implemented the import functions to the tool, in order to try it ingame, and to my great question, the game crashes.

I've tried a ton of different things, i've reviewed all my exporting code, i've made a lot of comparisons with red mc exported files, but the game keeps crashing.
The only explanation i have concluded to, is that the game checks the integrity of the models using checksums or something like that.

So even if i can fully replicate the raw model files, i can' find a way to bring them back into the game, without the game to crash

This means that until this fucking issue is resolved, there will be no 3d model modification, or uv modification. The blender script can be used for creating perfect textures for the models. But nothing more than that. I also don't need to point that the exporter i wrote is pretty much useless for now -.-


I've also implemented raw GZIP/ZIP and OGG import as well. The 3rd one is obvious, but the 2 first ones, are much much helpful to any ambitious hex editors out there

I highly encourage anyone that wants to help in order to find what is wrong with the archives or the compression or the game (i have no idea whose fault this is), to use this methods in the next version of the tool, to replace files in the archives, especially the gzip one.


I've also made a small fix to the blender script and bone weights are imported correctly in blender. Now the bones work much much better.
