[trevorjpt33] NBA 2K20 Modding Tools ~ Appearance Editor Tool UPDATE 5/18

Here is an updated version of the Auto-Shrinkwrap Tool that works in 2K20.

*Note that the 2K19 version will not work in 2K20. If you intend to use both versions for both the games, it's the same folder. Just drag both the exe files into the same folder.

Ahh ok so you used it in 2K19, but used the first version of it (was eventually updated). Here's a link to a post where I explained the changes you are referring to. https://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=241&t=107076&start=100#p1974976

Hope that helps but if you still have any questions let me know

I'm trying out the auto-shrinkwrap tool for 2k20. I looked up the .model that is referenced in the hihead.SCNE "binary" field for both source and target png files and they both reference hihead_LODShape5xxxxx which is one of the smallest .model files. I ran the tool and it generated a new .model file. I put it back in the png and inserted it into my mod folder. The result when i try to assign the new cyberface is that the game just hangs trying to read the files.

Do you have any advice on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks

UPDATE: i used the largest .model file and it seemed to work partially. the body looks correct in the edit body screen but not when selecting signature moves (much thinner). in games the close up looks ok but the zoomed out shots the body is totally different.

190921: I found the answer from looking at your 2k19 thread on viewtopic.php?f=241&t=107834&hilit=LOD

Yeah I can work on one. As of now though, my focus is completely on cyberface conversions and getting that tool & tutorial released. After that I can see about a tutorial for the Auto-Shrinkwrap Tool

I almost forgot about this tool. Thanks again.

New modding tool I've been working on - the 2K20 Appearance Editor (allows you to visually edit appearance_info.RDAT file instead of typing in changes yourself)

This looks great! I wanted to ask, did you get the chance to take a look at some players with separate accessories iffs? I noticed that there are additional parameters in their respective appearance info files. Thank you so much for working on another great tool!

I haven't run into any files like that yet, can you let me know a CF # that has those additional parameters? I can add in the option to change those parameters along with all the others.

Westbrook is one example, his CFID is 1510 iirc

Damn this will save a lot of time. Thanks Trevor

Do you have your source file (one you want to shrinkwrap to) in the main directory with the autowrap2k20.exe and the target player in the apply_to folder?

The source file is the player whose 3D body you want to transfer to the player in the apply_to folder. So say you want to take Greek Freak’s body and apply it to KD. The Greek Freak would be your source file in the same folder as the EXE, and KD would be placed in the apply_to folder

Hey all,

Apologies for the radio silence as of late. I've been trying to determine what I want to do as far as my career and whether or not to go back to school and my mind just hasn't been on modding over the last month or so. I've got things settled now and hope to resume what I had in the works previously as far as modding tools go.

Where I left off with the 2K20 Appearance Editor tool, I had a version up and running that's capable of making edits to all of the parameters within a typical appearance_info.RDAT file, and was working on adding the ability to change the parameters found in a select few of the appearance_info.RDAT files of players with separate accessory iff files. The tool is able to read that additional part of the appearance_info file and now it's a matter of determining which crucial parts of it need to be editable. As far as I can see, there is text that seems to lay out the default "configuration" of the player that shows up in game (essentially telling the game which combination of the available iff archives for 3D hair and accessories to use). I think that is the main thing we would want to be able to edit visually with the tool.

Lastly, for those of you that are more familiar with the ins and outs of the appearance_info file and making edits manually in a text editor - any help would be appreciated in determining which parameters within the appearance_info file are even worth editing (and which ones can just be left alone i.e. the CAP values) and what the options are for each parameter (body normal, eye white, eye color values, etc.). Feel free to post any related info here on this thread.

is it ok if i ask the link of the nba2k20 appearance tool bro?

Go to drive C: then user/computer name/find auto shrinkrap then thats the rightway to shrink

Yes of course. I could send out a beta of the tool right now but as I mentioned I need some help getting all the valid choices available for each value (or reasonable ranges for the numbers).

Right now when you click on a parameter of the appearance, the dropdown menu options are not all correct, nor are the ranges for the numbers. I just went off the top of my head or guessed for all of them.

any updates on this tool?

any updates on this tool?

Yes! I have made some progress. Mainly in adding the ability to edit the "additional parameters" mentioned by @mrk326 below. Basically allows you to edit what 3D accessory items are currently equipped for each player

Here are some screenshots of Russell Westbrook in game - BEFORE and AFTER editing the appearance_info.RDAT file with exclusively my Appearance Editor Tool (NOT in Notepad++ or any text editor). I edited stuff like the eye color, iris size, jersey fit, neck length. And I also equipped his 3D hair and headtie
