Re: APF 2K8 PC Editor Bugs/Comments/Requests Thread

So I just finished up trying to fully create my Steelers. But when renaming generic players it replaces names of other players. For example, Cam Thomas the backup DT, what I did was renamed him to Cambell Thomas in the editor and then renamed him to Cam Thomas in game after I made him a created from a generic. Now Earl Campbell is Earl Thomas.



This also happened when I named my backup FS (Robert Golden) in the editor Robert Golic, changed him to created, and then in game change his last name to Golden. Now Mike Golic is Mike Golden.



Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there some process that I should go about in doing what I'm trying to do so that it doesn't mess up other players' names?

Just out of curiosity, why are you editing in game?

Because I noticed that when I edit in offline and rename players there, it started messing with strings of characters, either renaming or completely removing them, and when I edit in online I only get those select names. And I wanted the names to be fully correct. But now it's renaming the names I'm selecting.

Does anyone know what value gets set when we only want the announcer to use the Player's Last Name?

Newb Question inbound:

So I got through a lot of trouble to get to this point, I had to order a US Xbox 360 since my european one doesn't play ntsc games and they never bothered to make a pal version. Then I had to order a different power supply to get the us box working. now it finally works but it seems I am to stupid to get my edited roster in to the game.

I know there are some guides to editing apf 2k8 out there, but my patience is nearly at an end, so please can somebody explain to me the necessary steps?

I downloaded modio and the weird named usb xbox360 program. so there you go.

You need to download horizon to transfer the file via usb.

Just make an APF roster save on your usb in game and load it up in horizon. Make note of the ids once you open the apf save in horizon.

Then drag the new roster made on the editor to horizon and verify the ids match the ones from your original save. If not then edit them to match.

Once matched, click save rehash and resign.save file onto usb and load up in game.

KINGJAVO, I have a few questions as I embark on creating legends or former players that I want in the game such as Brett Favre and Deion Sanders. I will edit exclusively in offline mode because I never play online.

Can i move players to a different team in the editor?
Can i give a player more than 5 abilities and will they all apply?
What will happen when I edit players with ******** as their name? Are they generic or just empty slots where we can add players?

Can i edit helmet type, facemask etc in the editor? It is blanked out even while in offline mode.


ONCE again thanks so much man. You are the best for doing this for all of us hardcore APF players.

I have been using Modio this entire time, is this what could be possibly causing me so many issues?

If your issue is getting the roster to load then probably.

I haven't decided yet, I am just trying to figure out how I can add Legends first. Ive had a hard time so far but can't wait to understand the editor and finally have Favre and Primetime in the game!

Re: APF 2K8 PC Editor Bugs/Comments/Requests Thread

So, certain players are showing up in your editor but not in Finn's and I know why.

Just so everyone is aware, the extra names seen in my editor seemed to have been left out of Finn's for reasons which I'm not sure.

I believe it was because those extra names are not REALLY in the game and editing them may cause issues and there may not be a gain by even having them there.

Maybe someone can play around and test the names passed the created players to see if they're needed. He also skipped the ********* names because they may cause issues as well.

If they are deemed to be useless, then I can always remove them from the main grid.

It worked pefectly. Thanks!

Re: APF 2K8 PC Editor Bugs/Comments/Requests Thread

Did it work for you in online or Offline mode? And if in Offline mode did you manually change any names in the editor?

[decado]

Re: APF 2K8 PC Editor Bugs/Comments/Requests Thread

I changed the names manually in offline mode.

But so far I didn't mess around with the uniforms and stuff, neither ingame nor hex. I just edited the players.

But with Horizon it worked perfectly and its really simple.


to pick up a question from the previous page: is it possible to give a player more than 5 abilites and if yes is there a limit?
