All of the other tutorials confused the hell out of me, once I figured out how to get the mdl script the rest was easy, seriously thanks so much. I just ported Lola Vice and Nia is next.
Yesss! I'm so happy you got it. I for sure get it I feel some people overexplain things and make it more confusing when it should be straight to the point. Glad to be able to help
I had to watch this video a few times because some of the steps didn't initially come across as 100 percent clear but once I got it, I got it. I was able to port over my first character so I'm a happy mofo, I've got dozens of characters from last year's game that I'd like to use again this time around. Thanks so much, this tutorial came through in the end! Thanks also for the extra files, I was getting missing faces but those fixed the issue.
Love the tutorial, thank you! I was able to port a couple of mods, but I noticed that some of them are missing facial animations which wasn't the case in 2K23. Do you know which part of the mod is responsible for this so I can take a closer look?
W tutorial. was able to port a character, now to wait till a tutorial on how to install a character without replacing lmao for some reason when i followed your steps the character had no hair animation, so i had to include the skel into the export for it to have animation.
Hey @Euphoric thanks for the tutorial, it's great and clear ! However, I had some problems : the attires part often glitch and stretch when in game. Also, the hair part is often strange, not the same color or partially missing. Any clues ?
I ran into a similar issue. Depending on how you're "adding the character" (I use tribute and don't overwrite superstars unless I want the latest look), for me it was the folder name for the attire. Sometimes when you download a mod (especially if the original author intended to overwrite a superstar) the file will be called "XXX_Default_Attire." Simply rename it to read "XXX_Alt_Attire" (where the "XXX" is the value of the slot that you are using - if you used Tribute). This is what worked for me. Then re-bake.
Hey so thanks to you i was able to port lot of characters. Now Im facing a weird problem. Ive seen that characters that have "ywa" files when I port them and use them in game they look fine but they cause a weird big polygon to appear in the middle of the ring. Any idea why?
I haven’t figured that out some ports have that and it’s something I think I’m material editor but they removed the option so I suggest asking in the pwm discord to see what could be the reason I had to delete one of the mods that had that 😭
@EuphoricMP4 hey I answered you about this right away IDK why my answer didn't get saved here. Actually for ported mods that cause the problem I told you about to happen, the fix is super easy! You open the attire mtls in material editor and you find a section called "lambert" you just rename it to "lambertnameofmod" for exemple "lambertadampage" and the problem is fixed! I wanted to ask you bro, do you know a way to port 2k23 arena mods into 2k24?
