ESPN 2K4 Editor Needed!

[KingJavo]

I know this subject has been discussed before, but I'm resurrecting it for the peeps who love ESPN football.

We need to, somehow, get a hold of Finn's source code for the ESPN 2k5 editor or get a team together to build our own editor for 2K4. I say this because a majority of people have never played ESPN 2K4 and it seems like a breathe of fresh air in every aspect.

Yes, each version (2K4 & 2K5) have their positives/negatives but both "feel" different from one another and have great things that separate the two titles.

With that said, we need to make this happen for the ESPN community. I can program C#, no problem, just need to sharpen my skills when it comes to hex editing.

From my research of the ESPN 2K5 editor... there was an intense amount of effort spent created such a tool. This effort was not only comprised of coding, but also plenty of research to get all of the hex offsets and values for every attribute in the game.

It would be awesome if Finn could share his code and/or wisdom with us if he's not interested in developing it himself. If not, then maybe a team of us could get together to turn this into a reality.

What do you all think? Feel free to PM me if you would like to contribute or have some comments to add.

Thanks,

King Javo

I think this would be awesome if someone could do this. I asked Finn a couple of years ago, via pm, if he could/would and he said he didn't have time...which I don't blame him because I am sure the amount of time something like this takes is HUGE.

Anyway, I would love this.

I wouldn't think it would be much effort if we could reuse the code he had originally built the 2k5 editor with.

That would be a huge head start... then most of the work would be spent researching the difference in values from the hex file.

This can become a reality if the right people make it happen.

Anyone know Finn well enough to get a copy of the 2k5 editor code to be shared?

That would be great and just add to more 2k football games that are still played!

I tried to look through the 2k4 files once looking for a pattern with a hex editor... I really wish we just had finn's code... that would be an amazing start.

Dont hold your breath on a response from finn let alone his code

I'm not sure how many people still play 2K4? I know if I had the editor it would make my roster creation that many times better. I will keep hoping it comes out......until then back to roster creating.
