krawhitham Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Actually, since big shmooz's models.big is going to be exclusively for UR , there is actually going to be another models.big that KG and I are underway on. Three of these things is going to be nuts... Remember you have to obtain a butt load of permission to use the faces, but otherwise it'll be a go. Anyway, if you actually go through with this D-Unit, I'll let you use my 2007 roster for your models.big, in fact it could be your own like what Shmooz did with version 2.35 of UR for a long time. If we have to have two, I vote for 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I am working on making a new Models.big, hopefully I can get it done before 2007 starts. It will be a lot of work, all help appreciated. I noticed that in the game, some teams have more cyberfaces than others, and that some minor leaguers i have never heard of have their own cyberfaces. Not to insult the makers of the faces, but some players don't deserve cyberfaces while others do. And I have a proposal that properly divides the number of cyberfaces so each team has cyberfaces equal to another: 24 cyberfaces for each MLB team (current 25-man rosters) = 720 faces 1 cyberface for each MLB manager = 30 faces 5 cyberfaces for prospects for each MLB team (one team gets 4, there are 899 face ID's if I am correct) = 149 faces 720 + 30 + 149 = 899 Does anyone catch my drift and think this is a good idea? Or maybe some other possible brainstorm? Let me know. .... I have permission from the following people to use their faces and whatnot in this project: Thr33nil - Faces So here is what I have so far on who controls what team, if you have any questions regarding these teams, contact these people: ChicagoCubs720 - Chicago Cubs Guest - Oakland A's angryrat - Chicago White Sox adam2kennedy - Anaheim Angels abless90 - Cincinnatti Reds mvp643dp - San Francisco Giants pdub - Los Angeles Dodgers pistonj92 - Detroit Tigers This is for roster regards. If you want to go for the cyberfaces of players which don't already have one, let me and the team "guru" know. If you are in charge of a team, you need to find the 25 man rosters, and which 24 of those players deserve a cyberface. Then find the top 5 prospects from each MLB team that deserve a cybverface (if they are in the majors now, do not count them as prospects. For example, Francisco Liriano was a prospect entering the season but now is in the majors and therefore is no longer a prospect for this project.). If I need any more areas to be addressed, you will know. I did that once for the 06 mod (very early on) but never released it, I assumed at the rate Big Shmooz and totte were releasing their files people would get confused. I would if I was you assign each team a block of 30 face #s. You get 900 faces not 899 (1-900) UP to for 24 MLB (not all teams have 24 faces made) 1 Manager 5 or more (depending on # of MLB faces) for minors That way the person in charge of each team can go ahead and rename the face files and send them to you. PLEASE NOTE, a lot of the faces that have been released DO NOT look better than EA's default faces If you want to include this with the 07 mod, We already have the faces modders permission to use their faces. Since someone already took the Reds I can do the Indians. I can also now make a program that converts a standard roster into one that works with this models.big file something I could not do at the time I did a models.big like this. I'm all for this, mainly because I never play minor league games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 KG and myself are underway for a new models.big (we are only going to have a models folder with the CF numbers in it due to 200 megabytes for the whole .big being a bit extreme). the install should be about 40 MEG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Would it be possible to speed this project up. sorry but it should not really take that long I'll do 5 teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Sounds great Kraw, though for the actual player listing, I would like to make the numbers 1-900 go through the teams alphabetically. Say if the Arizona Diamondbacks had 23 faces, 1-23 would be Diamondbacks, followed by the next team, etc. all the way to the Washington Nationals, who say had 24 faces, would go from 877-900. And I would like it to be included for the 07 mod, if this gets done on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Sure Kraw, pick whatever teams you want. EDIT: Just put myself in charge of Yankee roster in regards to what faces are deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hory Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 kraw - Why don't you post the spreadsheet you did for the older models.big you were working on, and use that as a base. If the thing about Big Schmooz's big not being allowed to be used for anything other than Ultimate Rosters is true, than I am all for this project, Although I prefer UR over SS/kg's rosters any day of the week, I don't like the idea of obstructing other's people's roster mods for no reason other than egotism. Just don't call it "D-Unit's models.big" because that smacks of egotism, and he didn't create any of the faces, the cyberface modders did all the real work.

SwinginSoriano Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Could all rosters use these faces hypothetically? Will D-Unit release an excel after every release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yes, all I would do is change face numbers and I will release an excel sheet every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Nice! I have a name suggestion: MVPmods models.big not fancy but it describes everything well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hory Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Could all rosters use these faces hypothetically? Will D-Unit release an excel after every release? Well, that's the idea I would think, Same as with Total Audio & Total Portraits, they can be used with any roster as long as they follow the player id list.

D-Unit Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 I guess that works for now, beats any of my current ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tywiggins Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 If tywiggins makes one then we can have 4 My idea was to to put all of the faces in a folder named after the player's photoid. I don't intend to make a models.big available for download. This would allow each person to easily create their own models.big with my editor. The editor would then change the face numbers in the game's memory to match the new models.big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tywiggins Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 what did you do about players with more than one face released Well, I obviously haven't done it yet (and really don't intend to, someone else could take care of that part) 2 options. 1. Either choose the best face 2. or include multiple faces, and allow the person to choose which one they want to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
