kashmir Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I've asked this in another thread and was directed here without any true responsive answer. Is there any way that the final version of this mod can have a "lite" alternative for those of us suffering stuttering problems and are not prepared to, or just recently upgraded our system? I understand the reluctancy of those responsible for this mod to not want to less it down and keep the full feel of what they created. I also understand the argument that with new games, upgrades are required. However, and please do not take this the wrong way, this is a mod, not a new game. Plus, you guys are modders, fans of a now defunct game trying to keep it alive for at least one more season, not EASports, just putting out something for the sake of it. Let everyone share in your creation and enjoy 06 if it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I have a Mobility ATI 9700 card in my laptop with 1.5Gb of ram, and the normal game with no mods is choppy turning down the detaill all the way fixes it, but them it looks like crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let everyone share in your creation and enjoy 06 if it is possible. I thought about that, I can 1X Uniforms, faces, & portraits. But not stadiums, a few people with problems need to download a few stadiums and see if you have problems with no mods but the stadiums. Plus there is the option of fake compression, maybe systems are draging on decompression. I do not know if fake compression will help or not, but it might be worth a shot.

krawhitham Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I will upload a copy of models.big & portrait.big that is using fake 10FB EA compression later, you will need to backup your existing two files. when installed they will be 1300mb, currently in the 06 mod they are 600mb I need to finish making them and test a bit first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 put the breaks on that, it crashes. I'll continue trying stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kashmir Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 On behalf of us low/medium-enders, thanks krawhitham. I think I put this in another post, but I overwrote the stadiums included in the mod with the EA provided stadiums and the stuttering continued. I have a feeling, based on absolutely nothing except my own ignorance, that the stuttering may be uniform related. I tried looking for modded unis, but all available seem to be hi-res also. Hope that helps, and thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hory Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Try Umachines' uniforms they are 1.5x resolution rather than 2x like Moser's in MVP 06 or KC's unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raderick Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Is there a problem with UMachine's rosters and the 2006 mod? Every time I attempt to run an .exe file of one of the teams, it crashes. It also screws up some of the rosters. For example, on the screen in which you choose the uniform, I would choose the Cardinals' red jersey alternant, but it gives me the green alternant jersey.

Hory Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 The problem is that the models.big file in mvp 06 has more than 3000 items so gfxpak (which umachines installer uses) will crash when accessing a models.big file of that size so you'll have to use EA Graphics editor or kraw's installer utility to manually install the unis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get the memory required per uniform down to 1,132,208 bytes from 2,910,992 bytes while keeping it a 2x but you do lose a little bit of quality (very little), but nothing like the quality you would lose going down to 1x it involves switching all the images in a uniform over to dxt compression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsfan Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I have a Mobility ATI 9700 card in my laptop with 1.5Gb of ram, and the normal game with no mods is choppy turning down the detaill all the way fixes it, but them it looks like crap I don't have any problem with the normal game with no mods, as long as the patches are installed, and that is running on 512mb. I suppose I'll just wait to see what the new memory will do for me tomorrow when I get it. If that doesn't help I may just try to create my own models.big from scratch.

krawhitham Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I converted all the uniforms to DXT, I used fake ea compression on the face textures and portraits. if anyone wants to give this a whirl, I will have it packaged to be installable in an hour or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfguy10 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hey Kraw count me in on testing the new uniform file. I don't think the PC config is the issue. I'm on a Dell 8400, 1GB RAM, P3.4 CPU with all background noise silenced running an ATI PCI-E 850 card. I have the stutter. It's not bad but does look similar to the original sutter when 05 came out. But if faced with a decision of 06 with a stutter or NO 06 - gi-gi-gi-gi-gimme 06! No offense to anybody that does stutter. Salute to the Modders!

krawhitham Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 for the people that are 100% sure they did not have the problem before the 06 mod, I'm working on a 4-5 part test file. each part changes something back to default/retail, in hopes the problem goes away after a part is installed. if it does we will know what to work on.

VanillaGorilla Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 How do I uninstall the mod, so I can test to see if the stuttering problem is caused by it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzone Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 i say u just turn off all the resolution options in game. like crowd on,textures high, umpire blah blah -- and check to see if the stuttering is there. it shouldn't. and from there. update each option and see if the stuttering is there. that's just something u could try off the top of my head.
