APF 2K8 PC Editor Bugs/Comments/Requests Thread

[KingJavo]

The time has finally come... it's time to release the new All-Pro Football 2K8 Editor!!!!

I've been working tirelessly to get this project at a release point and I'm super excited to share it with the community. The editor has many features and works very similar to my recent NFL ESPN 2K4 PC Editor recently released here. download here

I suggest watching the below videos if you want a tour on how to use the editor and to keep up with the latest features.

This editor was created for use with APF 2K8 football to edit .ROS roster files on the XBOX 360 only.

This is the first release so there may be bugs. If you find any please post here and I will do my best to correct any issues found. I'd love to see what we can create from this editor to make APF 2K8 more enjoyable.

I've spent tons of hours working on this editor, so if you like the editor and would like to give back then please feel free to donate through the editor main toolbar! Any amount is much appreciated and will serve towards further enhancements and features.

Please be sure to backup your Roster file if it's the first time you're using the program. Also, please make sure to disable any Anti-Virus software if you experience issues downloading or installing the editor on your PC.

Windows only, not Mac.

NOTE: If a menu item doesn't do anything when clicking, it just means I haven't coded it yet.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Great work!

Just curious; How close are you to figuring out how to edit all 24 season mode teams with the editor? I really want to play another season of APF, but I just can't stand to look at those CPU uni's again, they are just so putrid, lol.

I'm planning to add uniforms soon. I think you can still do what you're asking now.

You can toggle the team from cpu to user and update them in game. Then switch them back when finished.

Options tab > user controlled checkbox

This already looks better than FlyingFinn's version! All Hail King Javo

Does anyone have a default APF 2k8 roster save uploaded for editing purposes?

[KingJavo]

It's best to just set the exe to Always Run as Admin so you never have to worry about it again.

I think the right-click team menu acts funky if you don't run as admin aslo. FYI.

One bug I've noticed so far is that the program will crash and close down the second time that you ask it to open a roster file.

So make sure to save your progress when you're done editing your file and are thinking about opening up another file, because doing the latter is going to crash the program.

This should not happen. I've tested for this many times. A file will not load if you edited in offline mode and didn't save and tried to load the file again.

Let me know if this is not the case and I can test.
