Is there a way to merge both?. I know nothing about patching.

I currently messed with only three files in the aiact.viv.
dunk.act & shotconditions.act & shottype.act
so you guys can export these files out from the aiact.viv
and import it into any "gamefix" aiact for your favor
(you can use eagraph or other VIV tools to do the export and import)

Ill look into tutorials, thx :)

EDIT: Done, and its working, thank you very much! :D

you shud assign it to all fields for that player in dbf, LBJ has 3 IDs and GA has 4 IDs...manually assign them all!

Hope this help if your using IRPT rosters you must assign it in these fields for LBJ PLAYER IDs 917, 1121, 3025.

For Agent 0 assign it to these fields PLAYER IDs 906, 947, 1630, 2032...

I've tried v0.570:

Generally it looks good, especially it's good to see that some ugly moves removed from the gameplay.

Also:
- T-Mac & Arenas shoot extremely realistic. I can score with them especially with Arenas.
- But even Lebron shoot graphically smooth & well- i couldn't score even open shots :?

Maybe there's a trouble with the sliders, but before using this patch, those sliders were working veeeeeeeery well.

But, it's generally good patch. Keep up the good work, bro :wink:

can you write your sliders?

Sat Nov 24, 2007 1:18 am

Guys~
please vote for 0.57 or 0.571's TMac sig-shot
I'll only leave one in the next version~ :)

571 for me.

I don't know man...the more I try theese aimations the more I think that it is imposible to make a good one for sig-shot.And I am not tallking about your attempts,I am talking about those sig-shots EA put in the game too!For example,look at Carters sig-shot!It is soo stupid that I will probably remove it from the game!Garnett shoots his sig-shot jumper about...5 min!Man,they are stupid!They just don't fit in the game.Theese players shoot differently but not THAT differently.About 10-15% differently.2k8 did a good job with sig-shots(and,actually,with EVERYTHING).In 2k8 player shoot different,but not THAT different(like Carter in 08),so it's good,but in live it's crap like everything else...
I guess you could try to somehow speed up animations(if that is posible),then I think Lebron's jump shot would be good if it is a little faster.And mcgrady,I guess the last version is the best.Try dunks editing too,that would be a little easier.I guess... (Y)

may i ask something?why after i saved the dbf, the USA team got problem which make the team only have 3 players?(howard,melo and lebron) Anyway

Download DB Commander (http://download.nba-live.com/pafiledb.p ... le&id=1385) or try to open it with Microsoft Excel.

P.S DB Commander sure works, i used it for this.

totally lovin what you did with this. especially lovin mcgrady and lebron's shots although i think Arenas' shot is totally different to how he normally shoots. I don't think he curves/arches his back that way, it is more straight than arched.

here are some videos to help:

I directly used his GTM animation to make his Sig-shot
I'll try to adjust it in my next release~ :)

hi Clydeli can you make a Garnett goto move like he is backing down and he will fake spin move 3 to 4 times and he will fade away after he spin? thanks

Seems like the T-Mac gtm, you can try to set the same for KG in players.dbf

Open players.dbf with Excel or DB Commander PRO. Use Find to locate Garnett then look for GOTOMOVE field (its at the right end) and replace the number there with 125.

I love it new sign shots man!

Please Clyde, in your time, put MELO Sign shot, like in this video:

a small update about what's going on, but not a really good news :(

I've done one for nash, but sadly the leg kicks is nothing like the real nash,
cause his GTM is a left-lean or a right-lean, so he will kick his leg in a way
he does not do in a normal shot.

I've done one for kobe, but he fadeaways too much, and again, that is not
what kobe does in a normal shot, especially when he is open for a shot...

and for Arenas, it's the same problem, the back curl is together with his shot
animation, so you have to stand with the curl or you lose his shot animation...

for Carmelo, I'll wait until the "hidden GTMS" research complete as then
I can use the animation in the GTM to make the shot as smooth as possible.


and I hope you guys know, I can just do combinations of "what is already
in the game" I can't create a whole new animation...I'll keep find combinations
that give a player a sig-shot resembles himself...


good news? I'll keep working to make things as possible as it is. :)

Sun Nov 25, 2007 11:40 pm

You have already done a lot, but its good to know you keep working on, thanks. (Y)

P.S I like the Arenas shot as it is right now, keep it.

ahh~ I've forgot to answer this. :)
Lebron's release point of his sig-shot(GTM) is a little tricky.
(even CPU would miss it for several times compared to others. LOL)
but once you find it, the percentage is just the same as other shots.

Mon Nov 26, 2007 2:14 am

Btw thanks for letting me use your edited aiact clydeli now i have release our combined works..

Please do download it and try if it really works..

Thanks

Mon Nov 26, 2007 7:38 am

this is a stupid questions, but how do i save the changes i did to the player.dbf on excel? the excel does not have a .dbf save.

Mon Nov 26, 2007 6:37 pm

I like Bosh and Wade new sigshots and Garnett gotomove is perfect, but i find Kobe sigshot too forced to be his regular shot. Kobe´s shot is a smooth move lifting the ball up from the stomach with a long release max length of his arms.

yep! so I named this one a beta version, to give out some taste.
I'm not sure if I can do it better, but opinions from you guys may do it~ :)
