How do you edit the scoreboard?

I'd like to change the in-game scoreboard and main screen background. I don't see the files in the "picture" directory. Where are they located? Do I need a special program to get to those files?
Thanks

Here is one wheels did for 2k4 (haven't tried it yet in 2k7):

yabanci wrote a great post with instructions how to do it here:

AND

AND ONE OF THESE

I think these are all you need, haven't used this in a while though.

Awesome! Thanks so much for this info!:D

Hey guys, can you help a Noob out here and elaborate? How do I swap the scoreboard out in my game; that I just purchased the other day. Thanks!

From the FOF2k4 readme file I drafted a while back. To be honest I haven't checked this with FOF2k7. I know the scoreboard and fonts are the same, and I'm pretty sure they are still in the same slots. So this should work just fine. I'm just more of a Solevision guy now, I suppose.

As always, be careful with reshack, who knows what it does if you screw this process up.

The NFL Scoreboard was created by 'wheels' back when FOF2k4 had just been released. It is designed to replace the generic scoreboards that come with FOF2k4. It's a kick ass scoreboard designed by a fine graphic artist. 'Wheels' later became the lead graphic designer for Bowl Bound College Football.

Cool. Worked perfectly!!

Would I go through the same process to change the background when the game opens? I would like to replace the picture of the GMs Front Office.

Does it bring back the little football that ran up and down the field ?

edit :
Nope, I was remembering the 3rd party viewer - and comparing it to Solevision.

I'm pretty sure the football was there. (It's been a while.)

The background is done the same way. Just find it, replace it, and save. (There are two of them)

Yes it does. It also makes the ball a different color when I have possession. Maybe this was there originally, but I did not notice it until after I swapped out the scoreboard.
