Daisuke Matsuzaka Import Issue

[D-Unit]

I made a couple of posts about a problem with editing the rosters using tywiggins' mod, but I just read back a little to find that tywiggins was not longer working on the project. So I figured a different thread would suit my problem.

I now have successfully imported Daisuke Matsuzaka into my game, but for some reason his portrait has a big blank square, and when I click the edit player from rosters, the game says "mvp2005.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." Then I am forced to close it.

What is wrong with this? Did I import the face and portrait wrong? It was fine before.

Just realized that it's not just when I go to Create/Edit player, whenever I choose an option on the roster menu, it freezes.

Something is wrong with your portrait file.

[D-Unit]

Do you know how to fix it? Do I need to reinstall stuff?

[D-Unit]

I guess that the Matsuzaka portrait is corrupt, because without the importing the game is perfectly fine. I can go anywhere and everything works. Plus his portrait doesn't properly show up in the game, it's a black square.

make sure the .fsh is compressed. What did you use to install it?

[D-Unit]

I used Kraw's installer thingy. Do you know if this portrait is compressed?

EDIT: Actually used the readme, the portrait is not compressed. Stupid me.

if you used Kra'ws installer thingy, that shouldnt be a problem, the program compresses all files. Not sure what your problem is. Try importing the .bmp and alpha individualy with MVPedit.

[D-Unit]

Yeah I just did your method, starting up the game and importing as we speak. thanks for the tips fred.

Lety me know if it works, I'd love some Matsuzaka in the front end of my rotation.

The portrait works, but the game still crashes in the rosters menu.

I guess I have to find a way to uninstall the other portrait. Does anyone know how to do that?

[fred13]

Dunit, for portraits, you don't need to use tywiggins' program. Portraits automatically update in and out of dynasty mode. Its only the models.big that doesnt get updated in dynasty.

[fred13]

just use eagrapg and delte the .fsh number assigned to that portrait. Or find Matsuzaka in MVPedit and click on the portrait there and select "delete .fsh"

[D-Unit]

OK. I am gonna replace the other uncompressed Matsuzaka portrait with the compressed one (the two portraits I installed are in different slots).

[D-Unit]

The original portrait spot still shows up as a black square. It crashed again. I guess I just have to compress the portrait. What program compresses portraits?

[D-Unit]

I have concluded that the portrait number 7 is corrupt, and that the game crashes when someone has that portrait ID. How would I go about fixing it or even deleting that file? Importing portraits over it does not help.

[D-Unit]

Oh ****, I accidentally deleted the 0000.fsh...............................................................I am so stupid and unlucky....

[D-Unit]

Thank god for my backup copy of my portrait.big....

I put the backup copy in and then re-installed the Matsuzaka portrait with MVPEdit. Hopefully this will work.

I dl'd this thing by chance and saw your thread. Do you guys realize that this is not even an .fsh file? The dl had only the .bmp and the alpha image.. Just wondering.

[D-Unit]

Would that explain the game crashing?

[UncleMo]

I'm tempted to say "HECK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!". but have only briefly modded portraits in the past and can not confirm.

Anyone?

[D-Unit]

Maybe I don't really need to put his portrait in the game, but maybe I am doing something wrong with the importer?

[BigRog]

is it possible for someone to create a c.a.p. for daisuke matsuzaka

[UncleMo]

Let's stay on topic for DUnit plz.

[BigRog]

ok :-(
