I'd recommend using the magic wand and paint bucket to change the colors to what you want.
This is far more effective then trying to edit something yourself. If I extract the current tweak files for the Celtics home and away and change the name to match the s Celtics home and away, now the last names come up in the same position they would for their current jerseys. So for instance, the s Celtics jerseys in the game do not have player last names on the back of the jersey. If I want to change one for a uniform I have in mid, I usually just find a similar one from a different jersey thats in the base game and extract and rename it. It doesn't matter what you change it to, as long as they both match! I personally don't exactly know how tweak files work yet.

You can overwrite if you are not done with editing your jersey, but you MUST make sure you have merged everything to one layer, keep in mind this can always be undone at a different point, but not merging will make you lose all your progress on layers below Once you overwrite, you should see this at the top of your window, showing your changes have been saved Last thing to do now is exit gimp This window will pop up, you can just disregard any changes Now go to your 7zip window and you should see this: Press ok and you are one step closer to being able to use your mod in game! So what you have to do is merge that top layer down This can be done by pressing the button with an arrow pointing down and three little rectangles to the left of the arrow By doing so, this should be your result: Now that we are all finished up with our changes, go to file and overwrite the nuggets shorts file By overwriting, this makes sure that the file saves as the same specific dds format that is readable for NBA 2K DONT choose to overwrite if you haven't merged the layers together, as you will lose all other layers. Gimp only allows you to export that first layer, so if I saved it now, it won't work in game since the shorts layer wont be saved. Remember earlier I said that main surface part was very important? This is where that comes into play Right now that new blue layer I added is the first layer, which is not good. With it theres all these mini map layers.

Then after I select what I want to change, I'd use the paint bucket again.īy pressing R on the keyboard, it'll automatically switch to the rectangle select tool By pressing F on the keyboard, it'll automatically switch to the free select tool. I use these when I can't find the perfect threshold from the magic wand, and I have some pixels that didn't change. Pretty much speaks for itself By pressing O on the keyboard, it'll automatically switch to this tool You can click those little arrows to flip the colors i. By pressing U on the keyboard, it'll automatically switch to this tool Also, hold shift while left clicking with that tool while selecting to add selections and holding ctrl and while left clicking with the tool removes from your selection The next useful tool is the color picker. However, if you decrease the threshold, the variety of color you select decreases.
This is because like pink, white is a brighter color, and the threshold makes your selection broader. So for instance, say with this pink razorbacks jersey in the picture, if you make the threshold higher, and select the pink color from the jersey, you could also end up selecting the white in the NBA logo accidentally. The threshold level changes the similarity of the colors of pixels. Basically what it does is it allows you to mass select pixels. If you open both of these two up, you can see the main texture used in game. If not at the very least, after you extract some variation of these files, you'd have a base file that formatted in a way you know is fully capable of running in game. Ideally the 3 files you choose to extract would look somewhat similar to the one you have in mind to create so you have a good reference point. In my opinion, it seems ideal for people to use who don't have photoshop and seems perfect for those who want to dip their toe into modding NBA 2K specifically jerseys, courts, crowds, menu screens, etc. NBA 2K20 Jersey Creation Guide using GIMP for beginners Where to Start by kobedurant on Tue Apr 28, pm im still working on the guide, once its finished i'll copy and paste each section over my replies below theres probably going to be a lot to this, since I want to be as thorough as possible, hence why there will be several placeholder posts made by me in the replies to keep all the tutorial bits at the top If I include any misinformation or if any parts are confusing, unclear, etc, please reply so I can make any changes accordingly.
