.big file

Mon Feb 18, 2008 9:24 am

hi i just created myself and created an fsh file for myself and I put in sgsm folder. that step is ok. im following CABLE's tutorial on creating a custom portrait, but I'm stuck on the opening the .big file. What are those? and how can i create one? Thanks.

Open it using BIGgui (download at www.nba-live.com )
You have to import the portrait file with the right name and then place it in the sgsm folder use the right name for the file

there is no .big file to open. i just created a player but only have the fsh file. i see in all roster updates they have plyrprintSHONEAL.big (or something like that) files. I wanna make one for my created player. how do u do that?

So you already have edited the DBF values to let your face show up?
Did you even create your Cyberface with Phtoshop or sth else?
If you already did this, just import the CF into a fsh and paste it into the sgsm, but you wont see a portrait in select a player

This should help you with your portrait.

yep i already did. all i wanna do is add a portrait but that portrait tutorial just says to open a .big file. i only made a fsh file. i guess my question is how can i create a .big file?

-Open somebody's .big file.
-Import your .fsh files into that .big file.(via biggui).
-Overwrite all.
-Save the file.(don't forget to backup).
-Rename the file as your name
(Totally 7 letters = First 2 of the firstname, and, first 5 of the lastname)

Put it into the appropriate folder.


For database editing:
You should use that name you created.

I hope, this helps.
