Re: Broadcasting Overhaul//ESPN GUI MOD

So I've done some digging with changing the location of the scoreboard, and I've found this, scoreboard_logic is what Ive been working with you can then go into objects, then BlueprintTransform and change the the linear transform. Then if you look at anything else in objects that has the label MaterialFilteredShaderParameterEntityData (37-49) you have different variables to change that are labeled with scoreboard aspects. Can anyone help me decipher what all of this means... It's been a lot of trial and error, but I've gotten nothing to change yet. Maybe there is something else I have to change to get this to work, or maybe I'm in the total wrong direction.

I'm going to play around with this today as well in an effort to make a somewhat realistic fox scoreboard. Will keep you posted with my findings!

Re: Broadcasting Overhaul//ESPN GUI MOD

So I'm at a point where I need to be able to open and view an .APT file, using the legacy viewer, we can find a file under ui/madden/part/art/ingame/ingamehud. When extracting the file through offzip, we are met with one single APT file. When opening this file I can only decipher some of it, but it seems to be the file we are looking for! BUT the majority of it is encrypted. So we need to come up with some sort of script that can decode the majority of it, but this seems to be a major file in this mod! (see attached)

Re: Broadcasting Overhaul//ESPN GUI MOD

Just a few Questions:


1) Are you able to import/replace the scoreboard texture?


2) what is the scoreboard in the original post? is that ingame madden 19 or just a scoreboard?


3) Are you able to move scoreboard elements around the screen? for instance, can you move the Home Score up/down/left/right.


Anyways, i haven't been browsing these forums much. If you could provide a quick summary of what can and cannot be accomplished with scoreboard editing, then that would be nice. Information is all over the place in these forums.

1) very good stuff. getting a texture in game is a great step.
2) gotchya. just a scoreboard.



3) Not to be too pushy, but information is scarce here. Exactly what things have you tried?

Not sure what the rules are here on these forums, if you attach the .APT file or a google drive link or whatever, i will take a look at the file.

Not pushy at all. All information we've collected is of course open to who wants it. I've attached the .apt file. Add me on discord, too. volvo!#4440

Turns out we may need access to frostbites sdk, but I'm gonna do some digging with battlefield, because I think we might have luck with finding what we need since a lot of that is open. But as far as we know atm, it may be different for sports games, FIFA included.

You're doing some awesome work here, man. This could be a real game changer!

Re: Broadcasting Overhaul//ESPN GUI MOD

Do you guys this that some sort of encryption key is already inside the game files? I don't know too much, but the game is set to read the apt, so wouldn't that mean that it has some sort of key to decode it? IDK just a thought.

Broadcasting Overhaul//ESPN GUI MOD - Update

So while I'm stuck working on the APT file (promise I'll figure it out) I worked a little on a general overhaul! Here are some screenshots to keep you guys satisfied! Please keep in mind that these are NOT finished yet. I'm working on changing the background color and much more. Also keep in mind that the finished product should have the relocated scoreboard as well!
