Observed package contents
The internal folder is named NBA2K14 HOOK V2.0 LEGACY, although the ZIP and supplied release heading say v2.0.3. The post's extraction instruction says v2.0.0. No assumption resolves these conflicting labels.
The archive contains dinput8.dll, NBA2K14Launcher.exe, language INIs for Chinese, English, Filipino, French and Spanish, and Scripting/Birthyear.lua, FourpointShot.lua, MyCareerEditor.lua and ShotClockReset.dll. Modded_Exe/Default is an empty directory. No separate NBA2K14HOOK.dll or data.asi is present, despite their inclusion in the post's list of old files to remove.
All three .lua files start with the binary signature 1b 4c 75 61 53 00: they are compiled chunks, not readable Lua source. Their byte-for-byte copies are preserved, while printable strings provide search references. Strings are evidence of embedded labels and API names, not a verified execution trace or complete API contract.
| Plugin | Embedded strings and research leads |
|---|---|
| FourpointShot.lua | Credits Elan's Mod, version V1.0; names SHOT_LENGTH_OFFSET, THREE_POINTER_VALUE_OFFSET, BEYOND_HALF_COURT_OFFSET, readShort, writeShort, getModuleHandle, registerTimer; log text refers to a 100 ms timer and restoring the three-point value to 3 |
| Birthyear.lua | Hook Team, 1.0.0; yearconfig.txt, writeInt, registerMenuItem, registerModal, openModal, closeModal, registerTimer; labels for internal season year and birth-year configuration |
| MyCareerEditor.lua | Hook Team, 1.0.0; 42-attribute UI labels, height, weight, birth year, MAX ALL (222), RESET (75), registerPlayerOverlay, readFloat, writeFloat, writeByte, SliderFloat, SliderInt |
| ShotClockReset.dll | Binary present; detailed rule behavior awaits inspection beyond its filename/header |
Compare the four-point plugin with Elan's archived Python source and memory map. The shared credit and offset names suggest a relationship; exact implementation equivalence has not been established.
Release claims and future tests
The user-supplied post describes Player Attributes Changer, MyCareer attributes and CF ID Changer in the Player Editor, plus hairstyle import/export packages containing images, IFFs and configuration. These claims are recorded in source notes.
Future experiments should establish the supported executable profile, Lua runtime/API contract, loader ordering, BodyHook coexistence and each rule plugin's restoration behavior. Blaze's UMPlugin_Query interface is a different plugin system. No installation, launcher execution or deletion of old files was performed.
