jchorneau Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Having trouble finding the players to edit inside MVP Edit. If I import a file, what automatically opens is the "data" folder under MVP 2005 folder. Then it asks me to save it as a .mbe file, but when I do, I do not find any of the players exclusive to TC5, like McGuire, Conseco, etc........ Can anyone tell me how to do this?

MadHatter Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 How do you have TC5 loaded onto your system? Is it a separate game folder on your hard drive? If so you need to go into data/database folder for that specific version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchorneau Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 TC5 was installed in my game folder, inside C:Program FilesEA SPORTSMVP Baseball 2005. "C:" being my hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchorneau Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 Okay, so I should report that your suggestion did not work, importing C:Program FilesEA SPORTSMVP Baseball 2005datadatabase only yields the same thing.....MVP 2005 players and teams, not TC5 players and teams.

That should have worked. If you want to verify that the players are there, go to your datadatabase folder and open up the attrib.dat file with a text editor (Notepad, Textpad, etc.). Hank Aaron should be near the top of the file. You can also search for Canseco and he should show up. If you do not see these players, then the TC5 rosters are not installed in the folder like you thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchorneau Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 thanks for reply. Yeah, it is confirmed, like you said: I opened that file and found all my classic players. But why don't I see those players in the MVP edit program, do you have any clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear that you've got it working, but it does raise another issue. If you do not have the database folder opened, then MVPEdit will try to import files from your "data" folder. If it is successful in importing the 2005 players and teams, then that means that you have a set of rosters in your "data" folder. These files shouldn't be there! Did you intentionally copy rosters to the "data" folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchorneau Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Not at any time have I ever copied rosters to my game folder, yet I can peek and see that they are there in the data folder, guilty as charged, officer, but it wasn't me, honest And I have not a explanation for this. Strange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange? Did you ever edit the default rosters with MVPEdit? The only explanation I can think of is that you mistakenly exported them to the data folder rather than the datadatabase folder. That would explain the .dat files being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCMALEN Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 It's also a lot easier to just import the .mbe file from Ultimate Rosters v.x.x and then export to the /data folder as .dat files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The files need to go into the datadatabase folder. If you export them to the data folder, they will not show up in the game. Also, the Ultimate Rosters have nothing to do with Total Classics.....

jchorneau Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Well, that makes sense, since my orginal question was explaining that exact thing, only importing from there data folder, and yes, I followed through and exported them to data folder. But that is just a copy, the original are in database folder. I should get rid of those files, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game will never access them. It is good to have a backup of your rosters someplace. If you ever make a mistake when editing them, you'll have a way to restore your previous rosters.
