Player Portrait Tutorial by Kevin

is there anywhere that u can download Adobe Photoshop, even if it is the trial version

NT Bao,
I know there is a problem with Yuta Tabuse.
That is why is several downloads they have renamed his ID to YATABUS instead of YUTABUS.
But I do not know why this happened.

tsbarbee2002,
the Photoshop CS version is a trial version for 30 days

roelchik, thanks. after I downloaded the portrait patch here and studied it, I found that out too. I guess it doesnt work well if I try it like that.
Thanks though. I could mess around with custumized players so I guessed I did everything right.

Hey Guys,

I have created my own player and I have done the DBF editing (ishistoric,iscreated,etc...), but my player does not appear in plyrprts.viv.

Can someone help me with this problem.Please help.

Thanks
Rama

I have tried photoshop and paintshop pro free trials and none of them allow me to open the 1.bmp file in step 5. it says that the file-format module cannot parse the file. if anyone knows what that means, can you please help me!

Who knows? I got it to work, me being the blockhead at this patching thing.

I followed all the steps and i got the portrait in the game but it has a white background and I swear I deleted all background layers in photoshop. Do you have any idea what is going wrong?

Hi guys. Here is the deal. I cannot find a created player on the plyrprts.viv list. How do I put a created player there. Other than that I have no more questions regarding the tutorial, it is fantastic.

Hi there. I facing only one problem regarding the player portrait. I created a player on the game but I dont seem do find it on the plyrprts.viv list. How do I put a created player on the list? Thanks

Step 17: Open Ea Graph again, and open the plyrprts.viv file again, and import the new "plyrprts~MIJORDA.big" into it.

thanks for the tutorial........i'm using it to add portraits for the incoming rookies.......I did get the 05-06 roster patch from here and I got a good number of portraits from nbalive.org.......but I had to add in a few so that every pick gets a pic.....or something like that.......

the ones I've done so far are Yaroslav Korolov, Amir Johnson, Ricky Sanchez, and Ian Mahinmi. The next ones I'll do will be Brandon Bass, Daniel Ewing, Travis Diener and Von Wafer

I got most of them to work, but they're too big.....I followed the instructions to add the portraits and I edited both the players.dbf and appearance.dbf files for the 2005-06 roster.......

here is the ones I did via photoshop.......

Von Wafer


Brandon Bass


Daniel Ewing


Travis Diener


Marcin Gortat


Roko Ukic


Mile Ilic


Amir Johnson


could there be anything wrong with these pics? should i change the pixels on them or what? help me out........ (they're 96x96, btw)

I followed the instructions, but unfortunately I have the Paint Shop Pro 7.
Can anybody post a portrait tutorial that uses the Paint Shop Pro 7?
PLEASE!!! [/b]

hey hombres
i have a problem
when i write into the collum iscreated (in the players.dbf file of my rosters) and add the player portrait to my created player i can see the portrait, but if i do so, i cant edit this player and my created player has a fucking pink head. what can i do??
pls anyone help me its very important (cause i dont wanna look at a player with a pink head you know )
thx

Kindly read through the tutorial and subsequent posts and questions before asking the same ones that have already been asked. If you don't have a cyberface installed, the head will be pink. This tutorial will only create a player portrait. But I guess its my fault, my thread title was too confusing.

I followed your steps in changing cyberfaces and it went okay. But when I started to play the game, my player have a pink head. Did i miss any steps?

Yup, you missed every single step in the tutorial that doesn't exist. This is for player portraits only, not cyberfaces. If you don't have a cyberface installled for a new player, it will show up pink in the game.

I also wanted to clarify, is this tutorial used to change the portrait (ex. the picture displayed when a player take free throws) or the actual face of the player (in gameplay)?

Ummmm....duh? The title of the tutorial is "Player Portrait Tutorial," not "Cyberface Tutorial." If you click through the reference pics, or actually read through the tutorial, you would see that this is strictly for portraits.

For future patching newbies who visit this thread, can you please just read through the tutorial and look through the refernce pictures before you post questions. As far as I can tell, everything has been covered. Whether its the process of creating the image, installation, dbf editing, it has all been covered at least once, and in most cases, several times.

where does one get the FXEDIT Tool?

links don't work
