Gordo Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Is this possible? Specifically, I'd like to use MD's datafile, but camera angles from Kraw's datafile. Is it just a matter of copying and pasting over certain strings?? If so, what would they be? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddiesDaddy Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 yes it is possible. You first need to decompress any of the datafile.txt files you want to use into their individual datafileEdit.txt files. This puts them into a readable (by human) format. Then copy over the camera angle lines from one datafile to the other...or any other line you would like to bring over for that matter. The decompression tool is by KnightOwl in the download section...here is a link... http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?name=Down...=details&id=164 Once you have merged the lines you want and have the datafileEdit file ready to use, you need to compress it back down into a datafile.txt file and place it in your data folder. Again use the DFComp Utility mentioned above to do the compression. Jim825's or Rodkey's datafiles have very good readme files which will help show what lines are for certain camera angles and how they were modded. But in reality you should go through the datafileEdit.txt file and go over each line you will be merging. There are a lot of lines...so be warned.

MaddiesDaddy Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 yah I wanna use KSM's cams on MD's datafile too My datafile v3.0 (standard edition) use KSM's cams...from his version 0.5 though. His 4.0 and 4.2 files have issues with the pitch meter being behind the runner PIP when you have a lefty pitcher and runners on base....for me at least and I have seen this reported at least one other time.

Gordo Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 I looked at both Jim's and Rod files, but couldn't find exactly what strings to change....I'm gonna dive into them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishJoe Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hey mate, I did almost the exact same thing about 3 weeks ago myself. I was using the included Datafile in the MVP06 mod, (Jim825's I believe), but I wanted to switch MVP06's low High Heat batting view with another camera angle - specifically the default High Heat batting view. Plus, while I was at it, I added back the replays and all. Anyway, I strongly recommend you google "Compare It." Spitoon, MaddiesDaddy, & x63 helped me through it. Check here for what they added. They made a noob like me actually perform my first "Mod". Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thx Joe.....I've played with MD's latest file (because I've settled on his edits for gameplay, ball physics, etc.) and tried to merge KSM's zooming intro cameras into it. CompareIt is a great program and seems very useful. I simply identified every string with the word "intro" in it and brought KSM's line over to MD's datafile . Also, it seemed that the "game start away" string was necessary too, so did that one. I think I missed some somewhere. Changing anything with "cam" or "camera" seemed like overkill and in fact on my first attempt I failed. I don't want to upload this as it's not my work, but would be interested in an outside opinion/trial run. I do think I missed some things however. Well PM me if anyone wants to look at it. btw... I didn't do anything with files other than the datafiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
