Xbox 360-Legacy Texture modding

Re: Xbox 360-Legacy Texture modding

I made a player model blender (2.79b) template file to assist making custom uniforms. I built the materials to look almost the same they look in the game using all available texture maps:
cm_ = color map texture
nm_ = normal map texture
sm_ = specular map texture
am_ = ambient map texture
rm_ = refraction map texture

Use Blender version 2.79b. 2.8 and newer doesn't display materials.
To use another Team uniform just replace _cm, _nm and _sm textures in jersey, pant and sock folder.

Looks awesome. I tested reshade today with the game in RPCS3 and it works. Tested a couple of different shaders.


Now, is it possible to store and use enlarged textures?


Board commercials for instance are not high res enough to look good when zoomed in ingame when you are running the game higher than 720p.
Have you tested this?

Re: Xbox 360-Legacy Texture modding

I haven’t tried. It isn’t very easy, you need to change width/height, offsets and buffer sizes in header in hex editor. There are over 1000 assets in stadium container file (board textures are in there) and if you change one texture data offset you need to change offset for ~1000 assets.

It could be possible with quickbms advanced reimport mode. I will test it later and I’ll tell you if I succeed.

That'd be awesome! I'd really appreciate it.

Just tested it. It was easier than I thought.
Download quickbms and this script:

hello raupe, do you know a program that can export 3d model files .mcd from EA Sports NHL 18?

Re: Xbox 360-Legacy Texture modding

I looked a little at the files from nhl legacy and would like to know in which file or .big file the league size is. I can reduce the teams from 14 to 12 or 10 in the db by moving teams to another league, they are also less displayed in the game, but as soon as I start a season all 14 teams are back. i would like to reduce the shl league to 12 or 10 teams.

i3d converter open some mcd files but very limited. The program open only some small files but not most of the files. I tried a long time ago to make mcd script for noesis but didn’t succeed. If I had time I’ll try it again.

Please tell me the method of creating and converting textures for xbox 360 is the same as for PS3?

I just made a tutorial how to mod textures step by step (gnf to rx2/rpsgl or the tutorial in the first post). I don't have enough time to write guidebook for it.

Re: Xbox 360-Legacy Texture modding

I converted all available jersey preview images from NHL Legacy fe/ion/artassets/jersey folder (.big to.png).

Thank you very much!And how to make your original form?
For example, change the logos on the forms of national teams.

Re: Xbox 360-Legacy Texture modding

Here is a tutorial how to get db out of save file:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=koVm040353Y

NHL Base roster file found in cacheboot.big. Extract all cacheboot.big using Big File Extractor and replace db/nhlng.db for the db that you extract from save file (rename save db name to nhlng.db). Then rebuild cacheboot.big or move all extracted files and folders to USRDIR and rename/move cacheboot.big away.

How would I do this with NHL 08, which is the game I plan on modding? I can't find anything to use to modify its rosters.

Also, I cannot extract any graphics because

Re: Xbox 360-Legacy Texture modding

Question for those who have written apps to edit and mod NHL 2k10 and Legacy. How long did it take you to create this? I have an app dev interested in writing something to edit teams, players and import and export assets such as sounds graphics. He thinks 1 to 2 months to decrypt and decompile game files to then allow the mod app(s) to work. Quite prepared to pay some cash as I am a passionate hockey gamer fan

Re: Xbox 360-Legacy Texture modding

The BIG File Extractor is unable to parse NHL 11's audiostream.big, which would later affect all big files with the same error. What should I do now?
