Talk about NBA Live 2005 here.

From what I can tell VIVMAGIC says that the files are not a valid VIV file. EAGRAPH opens the file but when you try to expand a player name to view the fsh files a star is displayed besides the name of the player and that is it. Man this sucks. There also seems to be two files in the plrface.viv file for each player and there is a plyrtat.viv file which stores the tattoos for each player. I'll post some screenies later

Wow, that sucks...I really hope EA will allow patches or else I will be VERY upset.

Damn thats not sounding too promising.

Is there a customart feature somewhere that you can see?
Like in a simular place that it was last year maybe? If not, I think we'r in deep do-do

looks like another complaint petition to EA again.
Wed Oct 27, 2004 10:06 pm
looks like we need brian to update eagraph so it can be compatible with the new live
we had this same problem last year from memory, with some things not being able to be viewed

The menu is still 640x480 here is a screenie. It reminds me of Madden 05 with random player pics showing up to the right

Fellow Lakers fan, can you please post a picture of the entire Lakers roster?

Here is the extraction from the xstartup.cfg
xstartup.cfg wrote:// This script file is executed automatically on startup.
//
// Building internal game function table...
exec xgamefnc.cfg
// Load device default-file table.
exec xdevcfgs.cfg
// Default render configuration
exec render.cfg
// Binding generic global keyboard bindings.
// The "global" user is for global keyboard bindings, like tilde, escape, etc
setbinduser GLOBAL
// Keyboard front-end key mappings
bind +K_TILDE CONSOLE
bind +K_ESC GPAUSE
bind +K_ENTER GCONTINUE
bindalias SCREENSHOT "ren_screengrab"
bind +K_F12 SCREENSHOT
print "Autoexec Complete!"
If you notice there is no customart=0 or anything.
Kobe looks nothing like kobe

On a side note the game loads really fast and the menus are very quick. Here is the last screenie I have to go to work, sorry guys. Here is the Lakers roster as requested. Go Lakers

Maybe one is for the 3D model and the other is the picture displayed in the rosters (a la xprtteam.viv).
Btw, this sucks.

The rosters aren't updated. As you can see Bryon Russell is still in the roster. But yeah. We got Andrew for that.

I posed a PC question when the NLSC was down at dotorg, and David responded supposedly with a quote from someone on the EA Cananda team with this :
Since all the versions are based off the same code base there's not a lot of PC-specific information. I'm pretty sure that we already talked about the fact that Box scores are being kept around for longer on the PC and I'm sure that certain customart functions will still work, too
so maybe we have to turn custom art on differently this year?

I remember Shane or someone saying that EA likes the fact we can patch the game~so for them to take something this huge out is hard to believe.
Jowe's right, let's wait fro Brien--he'll make EA Graph compatible in no time.(crossing fingers)
Wed Oct 27, 2004 11:03 pm
wow this sucks...hopefully someone can make a new program or update some of the older programs...maybe the guy who made the xbox stuff can help out...
Thu Oct 28, 2004 5:23 am
I was told by ea sports that the game would be custom art friendly but they didn't say how to turn it on or what will be patchable I'll reply to the email
Thu Oct 28, 2004 6:01 am
Don't be so negative. Maybe they have improved the games patch-ability, maybe there's now, no need for custom art at all.
No matter what they have changed, the game will still be patched, you'll see. I really don't see them trying to make it harder for everybody, if anything i bet that they have made it easier & better.
Thu Oct 28, 2004 6:50 am
yes, i have to agree, that i bet they made it easier for us (for ex. customart is probably automatically on...)from what i remember, they like the patching idea and were actually supportive of it, plus Tim knows where we're coming from...i dont think he would do that to us
Thu Oct 28, 2004 7:15 am
Patching ability will come around...no need for vexing.
Thu Oct 28, 2004 9:56 am
Reminds me of butler.

I've tried VIVMAGIC, EAGRAPH, FSHEdit and EAZIP with no luck. Also from what I can see there are no .O files. The plyrface.viv only has the fsh files in it and then there are other files called plyrlodb.viv which has .eob files, man this sucks
This is what happens with EAZIP

Big ups to Kevin for finding this program. Its called FshX.

FshX worked perfectly. I was able to extract the FSH using EAGRAPH and then I used FshX to extract the bhed into a bmp. Here is what they have Kobe looking like
Thu Oct 28, 2004 11:45 am
That's great news!
Can the same be done with court .fsh files?
Thu Oct 28, 2004 11:52 am
