Not all attributes categories are known as of this writing.

How To Use The Editor

A Xbox 360 All-Pro Football 2K8 roster file is required to use the editor.

For detailed instructions on getting your roster file from the Xbox 360 to your PC, read the opening sections of Operation Sports' Editing All-Pro Football 2K8 For Dummies.

For the short version:

1. Download Modio and USBXTAFGUI to your PC.

2. Format your minimum 1 GB USB thumb drive for Xbox 360 use.

3. Copy your All-Pro Football 2K8 roster from the Xbox 360 hard drive to your USB device.

4. Plug your USB device into your PC and open USBXTAFGUI.

5. Locate the All-Pro Football 2K8 .ROS file and extract it to your PC's desktop.

6.Open the .ROS file in the All-Pro Football 2K8 PC editor.

Saving Your Work in the Editor

You will notice that any time you hit "Save" in the editor, a message pops up saying, "File still needs to be resigned in order to work in-game."

To resign your edited All-Pro Football 2K8 file, open Modio on your PC.

Click the "M" in the upper-left corner of the screen, then choose "Open the Resigner."

Hit "Load File" and boot up your All-Pro Football 2K8 roster file. Click "Rehash and Resign," and you are done with Modio.

Make sure to repeat this process any time you make changes to your All-Pro Football 2K8 roster file.

Loading Edited Files Onto Your USB Device

For the final step, open USBXTAFGUI on your PC.

Open your USB drive, locate your old All-Pro Football 2K8 roster file and delete it.

Right-click on the empty space where your old roster file was previously, choose "Inject" and load your new roster file.

Close USBXTAFGUI, remove your USB device from your PC, and you are now ready to go play some All-Pro Football 2K8.

Already downloaded editor (1st day). I don't recall doing this. Can't seem to find these files. Would I have to reinstall?

Ok, found those, but pretty sure those were already in the editor. Was there supposed to be a list linked somewhere?

I'm not sure but I'd just reinstall and save it to your program files.

Again, not sure but it seems like there is something missing. I might ask FlyingFinn himself.

What's this? I see the listings from the APFattributes.txt file but copy & paste where?

Can we not edit player names with this? They're all greyed out!

I thought being able to edit names was one of the main reasons for this editor so we could create other players. Hmm!

You have to highlight a player's name first.

# 28 jyoung @ 04/30/11 03:47 PM

Unfortunately, Finn hasn't added the ability to edit names yet.

Until Finn updates the editor, you will have to edit names like normal inside the game.

FlyingFinn...the last vestige of hope for the conscientious objectors to the Madden hegemony. I love it...as I'm not that tech-handy, I'll anxiously await the completion of the inevitable awesome NFL mods by the OS community.

"Copy this list of attributes and paste it over the default listing:

Am i missing something?

I found that list somewhere & tried to copy/paste it. Kept getting 'can't save' message. I am only one on this computer. So I'm the 'administrator'. Any ideas on why it won't save?

# 34 Mountaineer84 @ 04/30/11 09:07 PM

I had to save mine to desktop and then move and replace

# 35 inglip @ 04/30/11 10:19 PM

Okay, finally opened up my roster file to edit but I can't get to a specific team I just have this giant list of players.. where it says All Players there are arrows but they are greyed out and I can't click on them. Anyone?

# 37 bdolan33 @ 05/01/11 12:36 AM

Do substitions and depth charts get reset when taking a roster back into the editor?

# 38 emspencey13 @ 05/01/11 02:07 AM

whenever i press the M in the upper left corner of Modio no option that says "open the resigner" comes up. what am i supposed to do?

# 39 BMC99 @ 05/01/11 02:21 AM

I agree! Where in the the heck are we supposed to copy & paste the list from the APFAttributes file? Inside the actual editor itself? It seems confusing to use really but I've never used Finn's editor of any kind before either.
