Trues Datafile V1.2

[rmac111]

Trues, I love all your work and I am really enjoying the new camera angles, but I was wondering why I lost my batter walkup and HR music? Any help in getting the music back would be much appreciated. Thank You.

[edm]

do you know how to modify the datafile? if so..

look for the line that starts with "0x7c9e6865 127<test>" then go to value 12 and change it from 0.00 to 1.00

if you dont know how, feel free to pm me and I can help you out.

[Trues]

I just added the option of having batter walkup music on/off.

Trues, I just had to tell you, what an amzing datafile.......the views are some of the best I have ever seen......alot of immersion it...nice job brother

[mnofsteel34]

what kind of sliders are you guys playing with trues new datafile and what difficulty

[Sandlot]

Trues, is it possible to make a datafile with the same cameras but default pitching meter? I love your camera, but I just can't play with the meter.

[fred13]

I also have a question about the pitch meter, what do I change to move the meter up a little bit so it is above the umpire, instead of in front of him?

[Trues]

If you want to edit the file yourself, these are the lines to edit in the fes_ingameoverlay.fel file. These 3 lines appear twice on lines 174-176 and again on lines 182-184. They all need to be changed. The number I have marked red is the y coordinate. The number before that is the x coordinate.

SH:BGCOLOR,1,0,160,80,85,85,1,1,1,1,6,BPP2,BPP2,1,0,0,255,0,100,1,-1,0,1,0,0,0,0

Thanks Trues! Always Helpful :wtg:

Trues or False: You use 6/4 view?

Trues :)

I badly want to be like that but how in the world can you see, do you put your face 12 inches away from your monitor to pitch it in there or do I just suck?

I'm just used to it I guess. Plus, I like the challenge.

[fred13]

I'm also using the 6/4 view. At first it was a little difficult but eventually I just got used to it and now I'm just loving it. Best pitching view I've used. I even turned off hot/cold zones to make it a little more difficult and eventually I'll take off strike zones too.

[Homer]

definitely my favorite pitching view. thanks.

curious though, is it possible to make some sort of tool that could make changing datafile options easier for the average joe? such as changing pitching view, ball physics, walkup music, pitch meter stuff...

maybe this is something companiac would be interested in doing if it's possible.

[UncleMo]

I am wondering if compmaniac would take up that challenge as well as someone teaching how to change the color of the strike zone for the 6/4 view. I think yellow would make it more visible.

[compmaniac]

Oh, sure! I would be interested in a making a datafile editing tool. I would just need to learn how to edit the datafile. Do I just need to uncompress it to read it (I'm sorry, I'm not on my home computer right now)?

But I'm not sure about changing the color. That's something I would have to experiment with.

I would be willing to work on it (the editor), but the thing is, I don't know a thing about datafiles.

If you could teach me what lines control what, etc, I could try.

Right now, these are the projects I have pending:

1. OOTP2MVP Schedule Convertor (I actually might give up on it)

2. Portrait Logo Adder (tywiggins is working on his part of it)

3. Schedule Editor (if tywiggins can teach me about reading memory and stuff)

4. this datafile editing tool project.

[Homer]

i'd love to learn it too. i believe there were some threads on it somewhere. i'd have to search it later when i get home.

ps. damn! you have more posts than me now! but hell i don't talk much.

Here are instructions I gave in another thread on how to edit a variable of the pitch meter. I'm not sure how doable this project is, but it'd be very useful if it can be done. Even if it can be done, the datafile has so many variables and stuff, it will still be a complex process figuring out how changing a certain variable will affect the game. You'll know what I mean when you access the datafile (DF). MaddieDaddies DF Line Spreadsheet helps, but in no way does it provide all the answers.

First you need to download the following utilities from this site:

1. BigGUI 1.0

2. Datafil comp utility 20. (dfcomputilv20)

3. MaddieDaddies datafile line spreadsheet (This just describes the DF variables very briefly and where they are located in the DF)

The first 2 should be in the tools & editors directory of MVP 2005 and the 3rd probably miscellaneuous (search the downloads). Read the readme's of these utilities and make sure you have all relevant subprograms installed (eazip, etc..)

Here's the process:

1. Run BiGUI and open the datafile.big file found in your MVP/data/datafile directory. I recommend making a backup first.

1A. Highlight the datafile.txt and export the file to a new folder(under the edit tab of BigGUI.).

2. Run dfcomputilv20 and choose the decompress datafile.txt into datafileEdit.txt.

3. Using dfcomputil, Open the datafileEdit.txt file and select the find function and enter: 0x739c0a96 Which is the datafile line where the variables can be found.

4. Find the accuracywidth variable. The first number after each semi-colon is the variable ID. You want ID #34. You'll want to keep the value between .60(Hard/MVP07) and .120(Easy/default). I am unsure what other variables do so I won't go any further. According to Spitoon, accuracywidth will affect the size of the green target on the meter, which represents optimum accuracy of the pitch.

5. Save the file in wordpad/notepad.

6. Using dfcomputil, compress datafileEdit.txt back into datafile.txt.

7. Copy that datafile.txt file and place it into your MVP/data folder. The datafile.BIG file can be kept in the data/datafile folder. The datafile.TXT will override the datafile.txt that is contained within the .BIG file.

[compmaniac]

pfalvey, I've started looking into the datafile.

But my big question is this: What is the point of the dfcomputilv20?

Doesn't eazip.exe work just as well?

And is 0x739c0a96 the only line where I can modify things?

[Jim825]

Doesn't eazip.exe work just as well?

eazip works just fine. That's the tool I use to uncompress and compress the datafile:

uncompress: eazip -u datafile.txt

compress: eazip -c datafile.txt

Have you seen MaddiesDaddy's Datafile Line Spreadsheet? It provides a lot of details about the datafile variables. Here's the link:

http://www.mvpmods.com/Downloads/details/id=2935.html

You can edit any line you want in the datafile.

[compmaniac]

So why did pfalvey tell me a specific line? Is that where most of the IMPORTANT changes are made? ANd how did they find out it was that line, if the previous statement is true?

[fred13]

pfalvey waas talking about pitching variables in his post above. Its in the first line.
