test13 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Is there anyone you can use mvpedit to edit the original rosters form the game? Or does it only work with these downloaded roster updates? I have tried to download roster updates but my system always crashes and i have spent some time updated the original roster but ive run out of edited guys i can use. The file is saved as a .sav file can i use mvp edit to access it. Let me know Please Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 No, MVPEdit can only be used with .dat files (and not with .sav files). When you install the game, the default roster files are installed in your MVP Baseball 2005 data database folder. If you open up MVPEdit and import the files from this folder, you can then edit them with MVPEdit. Make your changes and the export them back to the same folder. Before making any changes, be sure to back up your .dat files, just in case you want to get them back to their original state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim825 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Did you install any of the EA patches for MVP Baseball, specifically patch #4 or patch #5? When EA released patch #4, they changed the format of the attrib.dat file (one of the roster files). RGlass released two versions of MVPEdit -- version 2005.4 (which was released in April 2005) and version 2006.2 (which was released in February 2006). Version 2005.4 will import roster files created before patch #4. Version 2006.2 is required if you import roster files created after patch #4. If you have a .mbe file, you can open it in either version of MVPEdit. MVPEdit is just fussy about the format of the .dat files you are trying to import. If you are having a problem opening the rosters with the version of MVPEdit you have right now, download and install the other version (in a separate folder) and try importing the roster files again. You can tell which version of MVPEdit you have by opening up MVPEdit and clicking on the "About" menu item. I just checked RGlass' website (http://www.glass4.com/MVPedit/) and only MVPEdit version 2006.2 is available for download. If you need the older version, you might try sending him a PM to see if he can send it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
test13 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 cant find the version. so i guess im stuck with the wrong rosters. None of these roster updates work for some reason. I dont know what to do?? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edam Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 MVPEdit only gives me the option to open or import mbe files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
test13 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 i know and all the roster updates on the system make my computer crash because the instructions are so difficult to understand that i dont know how to download them. If anyone can tell me how to install them i would greatly appreciate it!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 MVPEdit only gives me the option to open or import mbe files. That's not true. If you click on the Open button, it asks you to select a .MBE file to open. If you click on the Import button, it displays an "Import DAT Files" window and asks you to select your DAT folder (i.e. the folder where you .dat files are).

test13 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 yes i selected the data then database folder and there is nothing there its empty. the only ones i can access are the .mbe files. But i dont understand why ultimate roster 6.4 doesnt work. do you need to have an additional file or what? They are up to date and i would like to use them.

JoeyMcM93 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The database folder won't show the files but they're there. Just click OK when you select tht folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

test13 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 I just tried it and the only files i can open are the .mbe file so i dont know how you guys can open the .dat files? I think i've given up. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Give us the exact steps you are performing to try to open the dat files and don't leave anything out. Be very detailed so that we can determine what you are doing wrong. Also, remember, you OPEN .mbe files, but you IMPORT .dat files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Go to import on the toolbar and then find the MVP Baseball 2005/data/database folder. Once you click on the database folder it will be ready for you to imprt, just click "OK" or "IMPORT" whichever it is. Once you do that the rosters will appear in MVPEdit for you to mess with.

Edam Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The confusion is being caused by the SAVE screen that comes up after hitting OK! That wasn't mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 By the save screen? Well then you just have to save it in the MVPEdit program folder under a name that you will remeber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edam Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 By the save screen? Well then you just have to save it in the MVPEdit program folder under a name that you will remeber. Yes, but one doesn't expect to see a save screen when trying to import something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmac111 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 When I do this is says that I am importing too much info, any suggestions to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 That means one of the rosters is over the maximum of players. Check your Free Agents List if you created a player, there will be too many. The numbers of players are listed above the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Whe you import the roster it will ask you where you would like to save it, If that doesn't come up when you select the database folder and hit "OK" then I would redownlaod the program and try again.
