NBA2K21 Hook
About this mod Machine translation
NBA2K21 (NBA2K_Hook) by-Looyh
The functions of Hook are implemented by injecting game programs, so some anti-virus software may falsely report that it is a virus. Hereby explain.
Because this is the first time to implement the external file loading function, there may be some unknown problems, so it is currently a Beta version.
**How to use:**
Place the dinput8.dll, NBA2K_Hook.dll files and Mods folder in the downloaded compressed package into the NBA2K21 game directory, and the patch file into the Mods folder to load.
As before, new/modified files will take effect directly without restarting, and deleting patches requires restarting the game to resume reading the default files.
Both the genuine and learning versions are supported, and as expected, they are also compatible with subsequent upgrades.
**V0.0.5**
**New: Force loading of player photos. **
**New: Roster data is prevented from being reset by 2k (at the same time, quick match and team reset are enabled to avoid custom rosters using hidden teams causing the game to crash when using the default roster). **
Function list (those with a check mark in front are existing functions, and those without a check mark need to be developed):
[√] Patch file external loading duigou
[√] Patch file loading is separated from the manifest, and files can be created and read at will.
[√] Patch reading takes precedence over SYNC.BIN&upgrade files
[√] Forced loading of player photos
[√] List data to avoid being reset by 2k
Different teams are assigned different scoreboards & watermarks and other files
Streetball mode loading jerseys
Use retired number
Player headbands editor
Remove restrictions on sneaker brands
Show hidden sneaker brands
Each player wears a different jersey/Tshirt, etc. during the game (what to wear can be DIY based on the roster, Hook only provides functions)
More features will be updated gradually.
**v0.0.7** supports loading plugin expansion modules, and subsequent functions are released in the form of modules. This update comes with a module: to prevent 2k from detecting player names and resetting them when the roster is saved offline, causing custom names to be reset to random names. Starts to support module loading. Put the PLUGIN file into your 2K21 game directory/NBA2K_HOOK/PLUGINS to load. Adding or deleting PLUGIN requires restarting the game. **
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
