Does that game have a color commentary guy that can be pulled in as well?

Thanks for your efforts.

Yes, Dave Campbell. And he loves making sure Vin Scully knows he is talking to him.

He's not that bad and we can manipulate it so some of the dumb stuff gets left out but my favorites are say, after a 2-run HR, Scully will say "She is outta here, a 2 run HR" and Campbell will follow with "That swing will score two runs for the Braves, Vin".

I fully expect Vin to follow one of these times with a "Dynamite drop in, there, Monty."

Per your earlier message, Mo...yes, it would be nice to have some help, but only so many people have a)MLB 2005 for the PS2 B)a PS2 c)RCA inputs on their PC d)Goldwave or similiar audio program so we can get the proper filters to match up.

I mean, if they did, we could break down rosters by division, AL/NL East, Central, West and if each person dedicated to 1 team a night for a week or so, we could have atleast that part finished fairly quick.

Would the real audio modders please stand up and pitch in?

I'm working on some things and have 2+ prior commitments. In the meantime I'm trying to broker partnerships on various items to change the game. If some one or more than one person stepped up to assist you this would be one thing taken care of.

I went back through and started only using MLB 2005 Audio, for consistency. Eh, what are you going to do.

I'm having trouble because MLB 2005 doesn't let you reorganize the active roster, so some of the trades I make (for Dempster, Eyre, Miller, Howry) don't show up on the in-game roster options.

This is kinda fun.

Well this sounds like a good idea. I would probably help out with this if I had a PS2.

If someone needs MLB 2005 for PS2, you can get it on ebay for $7 or $8 like HardcoreLegend did.

If someone needs RCA inputs for their PC, you can get something like this on ebay for $4.

As for software, there are free sound programs available.

Audacity is one.

I'm not sure if has all of the features that you need, but I hear it's a pretty good program.

I always thought it would be possible to just rearrange the commentary, staying within the event that would trigger it of course.

I don't know what that means.

The Cubs have 36 players on their depth chart. What in the hell is that about?

I have 21 players already and I guess I'm supposed to find the other 15? Blah.

Next team I'm going to make a dent in is the Astros. I'm going to try to get the entire NL Central done before the end of the month.

HL, As you progress, maybe we should get Hory or whoever is over the audio IDs, have a running list of who is done and who is not, so maybe those with good editing skils can get files from you by downloading the audio files and then they can create the ones that need to be created. Maybe upload the files to a central location for all future players to be created. How does that sound?

I have a question that I dont know if it has been mentioned before. Well, I once downloaded the PC version of the Gamecube Baseball from 2000 I think, and it had voices of John Sterling and Mike Kay. Now I know that that was a long time ago, but is it possible for someone to extract their voices and use them? I wish I could give more info, but I d/loaded this game back in 2005.

I don't know what that means.

What I mean is that for example, let's say there's 10 lines of dialogue for a strikeout, right? And let's say that 5 of those lines of dialogue are used more often than the other 5. What can happen is that we can switch up those lines of dialogue to give the commentary some more variety.

I do have a few questions:

a)how are the names recorded. Does the game look for First Name and Last Name seperately and then combine them or is it one full name audio file that the ID looks for?

I mean, I'm wasting my time creating guys like Chris Duncan and David Wright if I just need to actually create audio files for Chris, Duncan, David, Wright, etc.

b)where are the audio files stored. I tried looking through MVP 2006 and couldn't find a .big file in the pbp section larger than something like 4MB.

c)the list. I still need a list of actual in-game sayings, counts, etc. I've got over 2 hours of gameplay footage recorded right now and I've avoided doing the actual pbp captures because I wanted to work on something I actually knew I had a list of (players names).

If I had a list of 'sayings' or 'phrases', I could try to capture as much as I can, combined with, say...the Cardinals roster and Mets roster audio files I have and we could atleast start testing this out.

All in all, I am going to need an incredible amount of help of putting this into practice. I am more than willing to do all the audio captures, etc but the conversions to proper file format (which I don't know) and assignment of files (which I don't know) is going to need the help from an MVP audio editor.

Also, anyone with any kind of knowledge of PS2 file formats, if there is a reader for I believe an .skx file, or a converter, etc...this process would be sped up greatly.

Thanks for anyone with answers to any of these.

IMO, this is exactly what's needed. It would stop Kruk from saying "sometimes you make the hitter hit your pitch, that's exactly what you saw right there" 80% of the time a pitcher throws one off the plate. That single line of commentary is the main reason I play with commentary off. I know for a fact there is dialogue in this game that I've heard only once since it's inception.

There are 3 different pbp player announcements

Krukow - last namer only & Kuiper - Full name & last name

b)where are the audio files stored. I tried looking through MVP 2006 and couldn't find a .big file in the pbp section larger than something like 4MB.

Player names are in pnamedat.big, team names in tnamedat.big stadium names in stdmnmdat.big, all the other pbp are in the massive pbpdat.big.

c)the list. I still need a list of actual in-game sayings, counts, etc. I've got over 2 hours of gameplay footage recorded right now and I've avoided doing the actual pbp captures because I wanted to work on something I actually knew I had a list of (players names).

If I had a list of 'sayings' or 'phrases', I could try to capture as much as I can, combined with, say...the Cardinals roster and Mets roster audio files I have and we could at least start testing this out.

Using spch_pbp.txt would be where to start I guess, which lists all the pbp audio in the game, although the descriptions are not especially descriptive and before a list was started you could should remove all "pnm" "tmn" "stdm_pbp" entries as those are in the other pbp files.

It'd be great if you found out how to really crack it, then if you put the files somewhere where everyone could get to it, you could outsource the work and we'd all get there faster.

I agree. That would be great. I just cracked open some of the dat.bigs and it's going to be extensive work here. Really, though, the best thing for me to do is to get as much audio captured as possible.

I'll be uploading my Mets and Cardinals rosters tonight, people can play around with those if they like.
