The tools made over at modding way (cant thank Ariel enough for them) work for the latest mlb game. Seems like you will need to this de-compressor before your run iffs through the modtool though. Modtool works almost the same, exporting 3d Player head models for blender still intact Stadium.iff file structures are nearly identical to 2k11. The modtool now loads the frame models of the stadium though I was unable to extract anything visible into blender.. Team colors should still be in the ROS files (and fra, cmg, etc) PA music and Jukebox audio are really compressed again..no luck using old sample rate from 2k10.. A couple things I will be tackling over the next week or so.. An onfield display mod - huge white circles are back.. Accessories Pack - This will take a little longer as now there are 6 different batting glove styles and 5 shoes that the user can choose from (so anyone have any request ha?). 2k changed the way the dds files are put together, some channels have shuffled around and these textures are no longer 3 files, but now 2. I will have a separate post about this later. MLB 2k12 FAQ thread - much like this post last year. Will include the full layout of global, gamedata, uniform etc IFFS

Hey DS! This is looking good, would like to help out more with formulas and what not. Have you ever been over to fangraphs?. For a lot of the question marks, it should be able to help. http://www.fangraphs.com/library/ offense: covers speed, tendencies, etc defense: covers UZR and RZR will help with range, arm strength can be pulled out of these stats as well There is a TON of info on pitching there as well. One thing you can use for composure is LOB%. There is also a pitch F/x tool for calculation movement. Ill pop back in with other stats soon!

Hey gentlemen, hope all is well! I'll be here for this go around too. We may run into some kinks early on if 2k has implemented this feature with mlb 2k12 as they did in nba, something we should be prepared for... kraw, if you need help with the potraits again this year, would be more than happy to, or if I can help with any of the tools you are working on, let me know.

Thanks for adding this Micropterus58. There are a few other IFFs that I will add this evening. Going through it, I realized I left off the gamedata.iff :facepalm:

Hello everybody, hopefully with help from the rest of the great modders here, this can answer many of the questions about modding and updating MLB 2k11. As of now I have list below and could write a few tutorials if there is an interest. If anyone would like to add to this, please let me know! Tools to get started: MLB 2k MOD tool - Opens most IFF files for updating textures, can't thank Ariel and the rest of his crew @ modding way enough for this. You can export / import player head models with this as well. Make sure you have Java installed! (Thanks Micropterus58) Cyber Face Converter - Another player head model export / import tool [only works on 32 bit systems] To open DDS textures you will need a plugin: Photoshop, GIMP are the most common. Paint.net will work as well Roster Editors: Ty Wiggins Roster Editor - Ty's Editor has more features that I can list here, check out this thread for all the info. The ability to finally edit the team colors is huge for any uniform modder. REDeditor II - Not much is available now, but Vlad has done some great work with the NBA 2k series.
