First the different types of dunks

Normal Dunks

Code:

DNK2F2H270HANG;-95;5;DUNK_REG;n;-;x;-;-;x;NONE;-;-20;120;0;10.2998046875;0.5;1.25;-;-;-;-;-;x;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;F;-;-;NONE;0;-;NA;NA;NA;N;N;NA;NA;NA;NA;NA;N;100;---------xxxx---x------

Highflyer/Power dunks look like this

Code:

DNKBYRON9C;0;3;DUNK_REG;n;x;-;-;-;x;HIGHFLYER;SUPERSTAR;70;110;0;10;0.3;1.1;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;x;x;-;F;-;-;NONE;0;x;NA;NA;NA;N;N;NA;x;NA;NA;NA;N;100;-------------------x---

Tip In dunks

Code:

ALY2F2HDNKHANG;35;7;DUNK_TIPIN;n;-;x;-;-;n;NONE;-;-100;100;0;10.44970703125;0.35;1.5;-;-;x;-;-;x;-;-;-;-;-;-;x;-;F;-;-;NONE;0;-;NA;NA;NA;N;N;NA;NA;NA;NA;NA;N;100;------xxxxxxxxxxx------

Alleyoops

Code:

ALYDNK2F2HRVRSE;0;2;DUNK_ALLEYOOP;n;-;x;-;-;n;NONE;-;0;90;0;10.2;0.8;1.35;-;x;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;x;-;F;-;-;NONE;0;-;NA;NA;NA;N;N;NA;NA;NA;NA;NA;N;100;---------xxxx-x-x------

Layups

Code:

LAY1F1HFNGRLGRD;25;-1;LAY_FINGER;n;-;-;-;-;x;NONE;-;5;90;0;10.1;0.25;1.8;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;x;-;F;-;-;NONE;0;-;NA;NA;NA;N;N;NA;NA;NA;NA;NA;N;100;xxx-xx-x-xxxx---x------

Scorer Layups

Code:

LAYSCOR1FTUPUNDER;0;-1;LAY_REG;n;-;-;-;-;n;SCORER;SUPERSTAR;-90;90;0;10;0;1.5;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;x;-;x;-;F;-;-;NONE;0;x;NA;NA;NA;N;N;NA;NA;NA;NA;NA;N;100;--------------------x--

This is how it goes (i think)

Code:

----------1------|--2-|----3---|--4------|---------5---------|--6--|----------------7--------------------------|------------8-------------------------|--------9-------------|
DNK2F2HSHRTHANGMM;0;5;DUNK_REG;n;-;x;-;-;-;NONE;-;-110;110;0;10.15;0;1.6;-;-;x;-;-;x;-;-;-;-;-;x;x;-;F;-;-;NONE;0;-;NA;NA;NA;N;N;NA;NA;NA;NA;NA;N;100;---x--x-x--x-xxx-------

1 Animation Name: When editing try to only use the animations you see in the dunk.act. You can't make a shot animation a dunk and stuff. Only use what you see.
2 Dunk Spots: This tells you what angle and how far away the dunk can be attempted at. I dont mess with it.
3 This tells you if its a dunk, tip in dunk, alleyoop, or layup/fingerroll, ect.
4 Dunk Parameters; this is tricky, these say if you need to have a running start or not, if the player will hang on the rim or not and stuff like that.
5 No Clue
6 Dunk Height: This tells you the dunk height, 10 ft is the rim height and it goes off that.
7 No Clue
8 This is new in 08, it wasnt in 07, I have no idea what it does.
9 Dunk Packs. This looks at the players.dbf and basically says who can do what dunk.

Now for editing, dont add shit you dont see in the act already. You will crash the game. As for adding and deleting dunks and layups....well, dont do that either. The game will crash if you dont update that top number, and even then if you add a bunch of dunks, the layups at the bottom dont occur in the game anymore. I haven't found a solution to this yet.


Let's take a highflyer dunk and turn it into an alleyoop for fun.

The highflyer dunk

Code:

DNK1F2HCRADLE;-50;4;DUNK_REG;n;x;-;-;-;x;HIGHFLYER;STAR;90;130;0;10.05;0.7;1.4;-;-;-;-;x;x;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;F;-;-;NONE;0;x;NA;NA;NA;N;N;NA;x;NA;NA;NA;N;100;-------------------x--x

this is the 2 hand cradle dunk. the animation names dont usually help but as you can see this is a 1 foot, 2 hand cradle dunk.

The Alleyoop we are going to replace

Code:

ALYDNK2F1H;90;2;DUNK_ALLEYOOP;n;-;-;-;-;n;NONE;-;0;60;0;10.2;0.6;1.3;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;x;-;F;-;-;NONE;0;-;NA;NA;NA;N;N;NA;NA;NA;NA;NA;N;100;----xxxxxxxxxxxxx------

This dunk is the 2 footed 1 hand alleyoop.

Now dont delete the alleyoop code, just keep it there. Take the animation name and replace the alleyoop name with it. Change the 90;2 with -50;4 from the highflyer dunk. And change the ;n;-;-;-;-;n; to ;n;x;-;-;-;x; from the dunk. Here is how the final line should look like, in bold are the changes.

Finished code

DNK1F2HCRADLE;-50;4;DUNK_ALLEYOOP;n;x;-;-;-;x;NONE;-;0;60;0;10.2;0.6;1.3;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;x;-;F;-;-;NONE;0;-;NA;NA;NA;N;N;NA;NA;NA;NA;NA;N;100;----xxxxxxxxxxxxx------

This should work, if you need more clarification just post for more help.

what program you use for opening .viv file ??????

EAgraph man

>> JaoSming

I did hack the aiact files last year and I understood the following :

1. The top number you find when opening the dunk.act is the amount of dunks/layups available in the game. I mean if you have "74", the game will load the 74 first-listed dunks/layups available in the file. That's why when you added new dunks, some layups didn't work afterwards. The best way to know how many dunks/layups you have after adding some is a database : just copy the file content in an empty notepad file, delete the first lines untill the first dunk name, copy the weird square and paste it in the find/replace toolbox then replace them by ";" and finally save the file. After that, using a software like MS Access or MS Excel, import the file, then read the line amount at the bottom of the screen.

2. Last year, I was able to add some shot animations as layups (some of them was the Inside Scorer hook shot used as behind-the-backboard for big men). Maybe it doesn't work this year but I can't believe it. I have to test it.

Feel free to ask me if I can help.

Btw, I'm working on the different shot files in the aiact in order to get new sigshots. Except Go-To moves as sigshots, I haven't been really successful in adding some. Like you, I wish we can find a way to add the sig moves unused by EA, but a least avalable in the ai folder.

the first is a great site all dunk and aley-up names with images.

second its a little explanation..... thanks nalcazar viva Chile mierda

great site......http://www.qmdg.com/redirect.php?tid=3667&goto=lastpost

Lol, this makes editing the dunk.act just a "little" bit easier. I was actually in the process of making this as well.

I recommend that all of you download my street aiact, not to use the street moves or the aiact itself, but i converted the 07 dunk animation files to work in 08. So along with that website, and my animation files, you could use all of those animations.

it is a pity we can´t use 3 point contest sig shots in regular game...because we can´t do that, right?

you can, but you will loose all leaner, fade away, sig gtms and other shots because of it.

Jao, would you be able to complete the list? Like show all the animation not just for dunk but layup,tip,alleyoop aswell?

well that site has the layups, tip dunks and alleyoops are pretty easy to figure out since there are only 3 and 6 different animations respectively

It only has ffs layup
