2003 compatiblility

Sat Nov 22, 2003 4:13 pm

Does anyone know if headshapes from live 2003 are compatible with 2004. I had a real good cyberface/headshape of myself last year and was just wondering if I could simply re-use it. I'm guessing they aren't, but no harm in asking.

the .o files are in a different format this year, and some have different _lod* extensions. so, the answer is no.

actually in a way, yes you can. they gave the "superstars" and a few other players the ugly treatment :roll: , leaving about 80-90% of the cyberfaces from 2004 identical from 2003 -they just slightly changed the skin tone.
my 2003 cyberface was based on Tracy Murray, so for this year all i did was use last years cyberface (adjusting the skin tone abit) with this years .o files

so if you had a cyberface of someone who isn't McGrady, Ming or Martin but your regular basketball player chances are the headshape will be the same.

just compare the cyberface files from last year and this year.

i think he was asking about the .o file compatibility, if he could actually use live2003's .o files in live2004.

some headshapes have remained the same from 2003 to 2004. i tried this sweet cyberface for jerry stackhouse made by mitch for 2003 for this year, and it worked just fine, while i have tried others and facial features were a little off, its basically trial and error. i know what your going through, i had to create a whole new cyberface even though i had a sweet one in last years game. :(
