NBA 2K16 Explorer [v0.40 Released]

Holy shit, I thought you said you were releasing in December lol.

Now all i need to do is learn Photoshop...

AWESOME!!

I have not had a chance to go home and try it. I have a few quick questions...

1. Can we now edit team names?
2. Can this choose a roster to edit out of? (I am guessing not, hoping for a miracle..)
3. Is team cloning possible with this tool? If not, do we see that as a possibility in the future?

Thank you for all your hard work!

This is modding tool, not roster editor

Oh, I understand that. But GregKwaste had stated in a past comment when I asked that changing team names might be a possibility

Just figured I would ask...

That will be in the Roster Editor. What you can do with this is change the logos, courts, ect.

Alright, so I just made a donation. You should have an email about it. I am asking for help.

So that is fine, I will wait for a roster editor to change team names. However, I looked through the files and I wanted to know a couple things.

1. Where can I find the halfcourt logo? Is that a regular DDS or is that something that needs to be finagled in Blender?
2. Changing the look of the Parquet, is that also something that has to be done in blender? Or are there files associated with that? As in, can I swap court textures?
3. I think this is a reasonable question, do you believe there is a possibility of cloning teams in the future?

Also, Ive heard a couple people were able to open NBA 2k16 with Leftos 2K13 editor. If this is possible (maybe you can try), can the team name atleast be changed with that?

Thanks again for the tool. I have donated, and will donate again if the modding community will continue to get these tools and be given advice on how to use them. These are realistic questions.

Thank you,

Also, my brother will be making a donation.

I seriously doubt anyone opened the game with Leftos's editor. It sounds like someone lied to you.

Also, you donated to Greg, not me, so I wouldn't be getting an e-mail about that haha.

To answer your questions, though:

1. The center court logo is editable, and it's in the fxxx.iff folder for each team, usually the 2nd iff in the list.
2. Yes, it's fully possible. Those files are in 0B, but I have to see something first. But again, yes, they are fully editable.
3. A possibility, sure. Certainly not out of the question.

Can I edit the text and save changes too?
So basically, if I wanted to make changes to something like this...
"hidden_shader": {
"Mesh": "baseBodyShape",
"Type": "TRIANGLE_LIST",
"Count": 9396
},

How do I save the changes? I can edit in the editor but when I save and reload the file, its shows the old text.

Thanks!

Ha, perfect. This was a huge help. Thanks for the information.

Im going to try and few things and hope that some sort of Roster Editor (whatever we want to call it), comes out soon.

BTW, I realized the donation wasn't going to you, it said Gregs name on the confirm. But I thought the two of you were working on the project together, that's why I referenced you as one in the same.

Thanks again

OMGGGG I wanna bring back Avengers VS Justice League mod. Hope this tool will make it possible this year!!!!!

Cant figure out what files are responsible for the actual text/file in the PNG that is responsible for loading a jersey

This will be in the next version.

This will be in the next version.

Awesome, thanks! Cant wait. I wanna do some unique stuff like back in 2K14 days.

Alright! So i figured out how to put a logo at center court, edit all the text on the court, and the text on the stanchion. I need to be able to edit the colors on the court (paint color and parquet type). I believe i can do this, but which file is it???

That, you cannot do until 3D editing..

That, you cannot do until 3D editing..

I cant even change the color of the paint??....

Nope.

This will be in the next version.

It may be unique but its also very dangerous Editing the [last years] json's is not a very good idea unless you know what you are doing.

is it possible with this tools to apply new Anthony Davis file tattoo update ?(R4zor work)if so, is it avalaible a tutorial video for it ? thanks in advance

I will say yes on this one, I was able to do it last year. You just need to export the right texture (that shows arms or whatever) from 2k16 explorer and open with the right program. I was able to use Paint.net and edit the tattoos, and use 2k16 explorer to import them just fine

So here is what I am looking forward to...

- 3d edit capabilities so we can edit the courts
- Roster Editor
- Possibility of cloning teams

This tool is great, thank you Greg.

Is there already Roster Editing capabilities in this release?

For the last time, no. This is NOT a roster editor.

I am trying to figure out how to render her clothes lol

That's what I thought. Dee4Three's post confused me

Not sure why.. I was just saying I am looking forward to one. I know this isn't that.

Either way though, keep up the good work all!

How to edit .shader files that can be found in arenas archives??
I think that might improve game's optimization
