rossmac7 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 They can. But it would be a hassle to extract all of his graphic changes, logos, fonts, etc., to make a new template to make these from. If Mac is making them now, especially for the license / loading / CTS, it should be fairly simple for him to set this up and make it available for others' use. Otherwise, I and many others are going to be re-inserting MVP 2005-styled menus and screens, which would defeat the whole purpose of doing this. --Eric Only if you say please LOL It will not be a problem when I am done uploading templates. I have been keeping track of the fonts I used as well so it will be easier to compile a list later (this is not my first time LOL). I wont be able to upload those as I dont wont to violate the EULA of the fonts. I think most of them are common and free. Just to make it clear I am only doing Willis at this time. After MVP 06 is released I will be happy to make others but I am trying to stick to the theme and that is keeping me busy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Don't bother uploading fonts. Make images of the fonts that you use on words for the license screen, etc., and include those in the template. Take a look at what Fizzjob did: http://www.mvpmods.com/Downloads/details/id=1566.html --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 This thread is super long, and I think many of my posts have been made today out of frustration that the only progress we've seen in the last 10 or so pages are in things like menu screens that folks are going to wind up changing anyway. What else needs to be worked on? Maybe we could schedule a roundtable in the chatroom to talk about other possibilities for the 2006 mod? --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emil Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Just to be straight, I think we're talking about the loading screens that look like this in 2005, right?: --Eric That's hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could schedule a roundtable in the chatroom to talk about other possibilities for the 2006 mod? --Eric I agree this would be useful, however I want to caution against trying to do too much, too soon. At this point, obviously rosters aren't set, uniforms are still being announced, we don't have complete information about the Citizens Bank Park and PETCO modifications, and we don't have any idea what the parks are going to look like updated for next season. Personally, I've just started a new job and am prepping to start a second one in January, so I've just been taking it easy and actually playing the games when I had free time. I know Pirate is similarly burned out, so I'm guessing that people are just relaxing and refreshing a bit before jumping back into the '06 fold. The fact that we have CTS / loading screens at this point is tremendous, and so I think we're making good progress all in all. At this point, as far as I know, friedman's working on his schedule, Pirate's taking a break from Busch, SS is working on his roster, and new graphics are being created every day. Plus, KC has already created the new Nationals uniform, so we should be getting more stuff trickling in all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 SeanO: Very astute observations. Consider me assuaged. I'm not a big football fan, so there's nothing for me to do in the fall/winter but await baseball season. Is there anything else that can be done that doesn't require an extensive amount of programming or a good video card? --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, like everyone else, am just working on items when I get the chance. Even after we get things "complete" there will still be changes. Just take it slow and dont overwhelm yourself.

Sean O Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 10 points for using assuaged. I'd try sudoku, http://www.websudoku.com/, since it's freaking great. Other than that, I'd pay the $10 for an mlb.tv offseason subscription and watch a ton of old games, it's really worth it. I don't care much for football, but basketball's getting interesting, and there's always euro soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwinginSoriano Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Rosters are going great, I'm now adjusting attributes in the extensive FA pool. Of course the Winter Meetings made me very busy over the days. All those transactions and new contracts. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsMS_35 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 most of the trades are about done. except we all have to see where Manny and Tejada will go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I think Tejada is staying put. Manny? I still think the Mets will be starving for more attention and will find a way to take on that contract and get rid of good prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Sigh. I think SS, you may end up having to use those generic fsh files from the downloads section because I've gotten no help re: installing new ord and orl files to replace the generic faces. Only krawhitham can help me and I think I've actually been able to stump him if you can believe that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandlot Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Pujols' cleat was on the 2004 loading screen and Albert was on tons of other loading screens throughout the game. Willis it up Rossmac! Alright then the Rosters are update to this date screen. Someone should make one later then, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billjames Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Swingin, do you have a formula for each players decline and progression with age and past numbers? For example, could you maybe show the difference you will have in say CARLOS DELGADO from last year to this year? Also, am I right in remembering that in early January we can expect a beta version of it all? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Yep, by mid-January there will be a beta. I had a more complicated method for evalutation last year, this time I was more conservative with ratings. I think this will help accuracy though it makes me hold back my personal predictions for certain players. Here is a quick overview of my progression method: 5 stars: Superstar, great player, or extremely highly rated prospect (eg. A-Rod, Ortiz, Verlander) 4 stars: Established good player (eg. Giambi, Soriano) 3 Stars: Regular Major League player 2 Stars: Swingman, journeyman rating 1 star: Piece of crap Sometimes progression ratings are tinkered with in order to control a player's overall rating. Kevin Brown for example has been giving a very low rating despite the fact he may be a hall of famer and still had good K and BB stats in 2005. BUT, for accuracy's sake we all know how undesirable Brown is at this point so his progression rating has been crushed. Likely, he'll retire and be deleted anyway. :/ Carlos Delgado 2005 rating: contact L: 71 power L: 83 contact R: 71 power R: 86 Carlos Delgado 2006 rating: contact L: 68 power L: 80 contact R: 92 power R: 98 I could post more examples or even more changed attributes on Delgado (even attributes for players no one cares about) but I'm lazy, and I'm getting back to work on my roster!
