Modding 2K11 Faq

Recommended Posts

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.

The MLB/NBA Mod tool uses Java. You need to have Java installed first then click on the JAR file just like it was an EXE. You can even make a shortcut from the JAR file.

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:
