Hey there. Been trying to mod NHL2K2 mainly to update the Capitals uniform. Found two pvr images relating to the logos, but the uniforms have a .cmn file extension. Anyone know how to open this?

UPDATE: Looked into the tool, and it turns out it cannot extract anything from the cmn file. When using the GUI, it seems to prefer .DAT files.

EDIT: Another Update. Used another tool, PVR Dissector, and it seems to have extracted a bunch of texture images from the CMN files! Still looking for the specific jersey files (and how to repack everything), but small victories!

EDIT 2: Re-extracted the files and confirmed that nothing from UNIFORMS.CMN was extracted. On another note, I've been looking into replacing some of the audio as well, but the tracks are in .AUD, .DAT, and .PCK files as opposed to ADX files.

Thanks. Still not having much luck in finding where the actual rosters are stored.
