I think that is a glitch that was never fixed in a patch

Amazing! I think focusing on small wins first to build momentum to what would eventually become the defining project from this breakthrough (name banks) is the next logical step. Updating something like the audio IDs for teams/stadiums is sensible, then moving on to player names next. It would be an immense gain for Total Classics projects given the level of historic players from those mods. I also think building out a new name bank (list of names) on top of what exists would be the best possible usage of AI Kuiper and Krukow. The "Munetaka Murakami" audio sounds solid but might need to be trimmed up so it flows with the rest of the commentary like as if it were originally there. One challenge that might be a problem is the cadence/fluidity of the new audio but I think people will figure out as they tinker with it.

This is special

That question about the first president to own a baseball team is BS, Harding *did* own a baseball team, but it was a minor league one and I fell for the trap. We'll run it back tomorrow!

I am looking to set up excel copy/pasting along with an advanced SQL mode to perform commands that way too, it's something I'm planning on adding either now or in the future to help make things easier and save time.

I'll work on MVP 2003 and 2004 rosters down the line if there's demand for it. I'm trying to keep the scope tight by focusing solely on MVP 2005 for now.

Ah I think this is for 2K12!

Could be missing faces

All, Just curious if you guys think the existing layout of the player view works? What could be changed from the current view in Classic MVPEdit?

I'm just curious on how this is possible given that the DRM required for the game to work has been removed since Windows 7 on the OS level. Actually, nevermind, I won't even ask. There's a tutorial on our site here for working with dgVoodoo2. Check the forums.

You said you were able to run the game on Windows 11 with no issues, I should be the one asking you how you got it to work without these workarounds for the DRM and GPU!

It's supposed to emulate a handful of cards, I think the Radeon 8500, GeForce 4 Ti 4800, Geforce FX 5700 Ultra and 9800 GT are in the list

No prob. This week is probably when I start working on trying to present the data in the editor. The best way I can explain where I’m at is like building a house. So far, I haven’t been “decorating” anything yet. I've been doing all the unsexy but critical work before you see anything on screen: The land and blueprint are locked: .mvpdb (SQLite) is the working format, DAT files are import/export only The foundation is poured: deterministic DAT > DB > DAT round-tripping works Utilities are in: legacy quirks are normalized safely, warnings are explicit, no silent corruption The framing is up: the editor supports multiple open rosters, proper app state gating (i.e. things are greyed out until you open a roster or import one via DAT), and safe close behavior (Save/Don’t Save/Cancel prompt before closing the editor) In other words: the house stands, the doors lock, and nothing catches fire, but there’s no drywall or furniture yet. The next big step is drywall: actually showing the data - the list of players, team lists, historical data and player detail views, even if it's read-only at first. Once that’s in place, everything else I and others want to see (import/export players, advanced searches, SQL mode, copy/paste from excel/sheets, etc.) becomes a lot more straightforward to build on top of a solid interior, instead of trying to wire things through exposed studs, if that makes sense. I mean there's still a lot to do, but the groundwork is where I want it to be so far!

There is a utility called SafeDiscShim that recreates the "handshake" the DRM makes between your PC and the discs so the game can work, along with dgVoodoo2 that spoofs earlier DX 8 graphics cards since the newer GPUs won't work

asked and answered on the first page brother :) The big one is MVP 2003 because they do not have a minor league system and the in-game economy is based on points, not money. I'll give it a swing once I can get the MVP 2005 editing sorted
