New Features
The latest version introduces notable enhancements:
1. Customized Mod Resource Folders
- Mod resource folders are no longer constrained to names starting with "Mod."
- Nested subdirectories are now supported, allowing for more organized and intricate folder structures. For example, "Foo/Bar" signifies a folder "Foo" within another folder "Bar" as a Mod resource folder.
2. New Mod File Loading Code
· The underlying code responsible for loading Mod files has undergone significant improvements.
· Wav file loading is now more comprehensive, expanding the scope of modifiable elements.
· Users can now customize files such as s850.iff and various sound effect wav files within the game. Notably, modifications to music files, including personally converted ones, will no longer automatically switch to alternate songs in the second half of the game.
These enhancements not only broaden the customization possibilities but also streamline the modding process, providing a more user-friendly experience for NBA 2K24 enthusiasts. Join to the biggest 2K Modding community on Discord here.
Common Problems
Adding mods means that the game prioritizes reading from the mods folder when accessing target files. The process is automatic, and the game attempts to read files from the mods folder whenever necessary. The specific file used in the game is determined by the game program, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
For face patch files, identification is based on an ID system. For instance, LeBron James' face ID is 1013. When reading player files, associated files like png1013.iff/face1013.iff are accessed. Files starting with "png" represent body models, hairstyles, etc., while those starting with "face" pertain to head textures.
For characters not originally in the game, you must manually change the ID in the file name. A modifier is then used to edit the player list, assigning this ID to a specific player. IDs can be any number below 32767 and above 2, with a recommendation to use IDs above 10000 to avoid conflicts with existing characters.
IDs must have at least four digits, with leading zeros added if necessary. For example, if the ID is 9, it becomes 0009, corresponding to files like png0009.iff/face0009.iff. An ID like 12345 results in files like png12345.iff/face12345.iff. If file suffixes are not displayed, the .iff suffix may not be visible in the downloaded face patch file.
Simply change it to png1234/face1234 (excluding .iff) in this case. Note that direct renaming of a zip file to .iff is ineffective; decompression is required to access the files within.
