dat file installation help

[teampunjabi]

I downloaded the KSM dat file for the camera and gameplay tuning and the file comes in .txt . What do I do with this file. I thought it was supposed to be in a big format?

No, thats correct. just put the txt file inside your MVP Baseball 2005data Folder. It will over ride the default datafile.big.

hmm. For some reason the game crashes after the game loads and right before it goes to the field.

Did it do this before the datfile? What other mods do you have installed? Have you tried another datfile?

[teampunjabi]

what I did now is i reinstalled the game fresh. I copied to txt file into the data folder and it did not work. THe game works fine but the settings didnt seem to take effect. Do i need other mods for it to work or sumthing?

If you put the datafile.txt into the Data folder it will work just fine.

Which datafile is it and what are you expecting to see that's not there?

[teampunjabi]

i put in the jack 9 file. Isnt the camera supposed to be different as well as the game tuning?

[snepp]

Would help if you provide a direct link to the datafile you're talking about.

Is this the one?

If so, it appears the only camera that changed was batting view 5, you would need to make sure to change to that camera when you're in-game.

And remember, to read the README file on any mod that you download. So you will know exactly how to install and what it's supposed to do.

I have noticed recently a couple of datafiles available include no actual installation instructions (a big oversight). I don't know if that's the case here though.

Yeah, I have noticed that also on a couple I have d/l and been testing out. The Jack 319 has a readme fortunately.

[teampunjabi]

yes it does have a readme. Some of the others I downloaded did not. So when jack319's did not work, I became confused. The problem seemed to be the UR rosters 7.1 plus and the Schmooz model download.

Neither Totte's rosters nor my models.big have anything to do with datafile settings. So I am not sure what you mean.

Do i need to open the datafile and copy the txt inside to the datafile.big???

Thank you

If you read the earlier posts in this thread, you would see that all you need to do is copy the .txt file to your MVP Baseball 2005 data folder. It will override any settings in the datafile.big file.
