TOMMACH Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 First, I just found this site. One word. Amazing. Now, what I'd like to do is be able to change the color commentary. What I want to do is replace all of the color commentary with my own audio. What do I need to have in order to do this, if it is at all even feasible. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMMACH Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 What I mean is the technical part of replacing the color commentary. Where each line would go in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I don't know if this is something that can be done, but if you can do this a lot of people would be grateful. Mike Krukow does the color commentary in the game and he is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker_jim_uk Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 of course it CAN be done, however it most likely WON'T as there are so many files to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMACH Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Look, I'm willing to do the color commentary, I just need the technical information. I can do the audio files, I have Steinberg Cubase. I just need to know how to replace Krukow with those files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edam Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I'd like to just have Krukow entirely deleted or replaced with silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoop27 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Tom from what I saw when I brought this up is finding someone who would be willing to put in the time to take this project on. I'm willing to do it as well however I have no idea whatsoever how you would actually put the files in the game. if you want you can send me a PM and we can discuss some ideas because I think this would be a great idea especially with the 2k6 mod getting close.

biker_jim_uk Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 as you obviously have no desire to actually search for this info, I'll give you a small start and leave you to find the rest. It has been explained many times to people who have this same idea and then they realise what a big job it is, fo eg you need all the numbers from 0-1000, as well as all the player and team names. Good luck! http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?name=Foru...er=asc&start=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Blues Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Yes, this is a huge undertaking. You would have to have Cubase saying each players name (at least their last name) or their postion, e.g. "The third baseman steps up to the plate". Also, as far as I can remember, nobody's found a way to decompress the audio file that holds the PBP commentary. I'd been wanting to replace the broadcast with Ryan Lefebvre and Denny Matthews of Royals Radio, and nobody could figure out how to get into the PBP file. Of course, I could be mistaken, and someone may have been able to crack into it by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker_jim_uk Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 people opened the pbp last summer :roll: just use the sx prog and having a quick look, I've got 13,500ish files in the pbp and plyr_pbp folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMACH Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Okay, clearly the pbp is extensive, which I never said I was interested in doing anyway. That being said, what I want to do is change all the color commentary. Now, this is what I'll do. Give me a script with all the sayings you want replacing krukow and I'll do them. Then, somebody with the know how to convert them to .asf and place them into the game can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Blues Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 people opened the pbp last summer :roll: Wow, how did I miss that? :oops: I know last year nobody could find a program to open 04's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we already had such a script it would have been done already as the file conversion can be done in batches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hory Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 spch_pbp.txt in dataaudiospch_pbp lists all the pbp audio in the game (That is, all the audio in pbpdat.big tnamedat.big pnamedat.big etc) Each piece of audio has a code and the size of the audio is also listed. Shouldn't be too hard although very time-consuming to match the pbp audios up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdub Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I know how to convert audio files to EA format with sx, and so do several other people on this forum. I forget the exact command line at the moment. BigGUI can extract from .big files, but I can't open the MVP Baseball 2005dataaudiocdspch_pbppbpdat.big file with it. There's probably another tool somewhere that can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker_jim_uk Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 good point, the pbpdat has lots of scd files in it, not sure how to extract those, seems I was getting confused with the other pbp files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYosua Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 You can open and extract the files from the pbpdat.big using Egorgiy's ASF Import/Export program, found on MVPmods here: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?name=Down...details&id=1893 It takes a while for the program to open the file, because there are 1,795 clips inside...

UncleMo Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 and when you export them out of that .big file, and use my express version of SX, it will convert them all in a matter of seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoman11 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I am going to embark on replacing the pbp with the YES network and use there music theme. anyone know where i can find archive game footage to extract the voice of the annoucers?

UncleMo Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Can someone simply take the NCAA pbp and replace it in mvp 05? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A subscription to MLB.tv would be your best bet, since they have an archive that goes back a year or two. Good luck isolating PBP though - you'll have to deal with all the stadium background noise that is under the voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMACH Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Got it to work. Lot of files huh? There are more than one audio file for each situation. Like when the pitcher walks the batter, Krukow says, "You're killing me meat!" or "He worked a walk" This will take a while, so if there's a favorite saying you want me to include in the replacement stuff let me know.

pdub Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I've got one - "He worked alot of balls there" or "He didn't like those balls, because he didn't swing his stick at 'em" :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 [ Good luck isolating PBP though - you'll have to deal with all the stadium background noise that is under the voices. Actually, those files are seperate. They are the crowd4a.ast files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
