KGBaseball Roster Overhaul 3.0 Installation Issues

Recommended Posts

The rtf file states the following:

How to Install Roster Files!

• Standard Edition:

• Place the .dat-files in your MVP Baseball 2005/data/database folder. Choose "yes" when asked to overwrite.

Easy enough.

Then:

• Uniforms

• Install the u122a.fsh and u123a.fsh into your models.big using krawhitham’s installer or EAGE

• Install the f123a.fsh into your uniforms.big using krawhitham’s installer or EAGE

I cannot find krawhitham’s installer or EAGE anywhwere and there is no link provided in the readme.

Will the new roster files work without the uniform update? Again the readme does not say.

Will TiT accomplish all these updates? After all it does advertise "This program does it all for you!"

Finally:

• Glove mod! (important!)

• This roster utilizes thespungo’s glove mod 5.0, which can be found at mvpmods.com. To avoid the Christmas-colored 1b glove, please download that mod

Searching for "thespungo glove mod 5.0" in downloads displays no hits from any category.

Just my opinion but instructions or readme's need to be written in a way to answer as many questions as possible or provide links to a FAQ somewhere.

A PHPNuke module I created had a 3 page readme.txt and I have had less than 3 people contact me for help. Just my opinion.

Any help anyone can give me to help me update my roster will be appreciated. I've just recently purched MVP 2005 a month ago so I'm a newbie.

I had MVP 2004 but never updated any files with that game.

So if I don't need those other files then just overwriting with the new data files should have worked, but it didn't.

I still see old roster players in my Cardinal team.

I have it patched using #5

I also tried TiT with no luck.

Comments like "plus its really simple to install it." doesn't really help me does it?

Don't mean to be cross but I'm an impatient newbie.

Link to theSpungo's glove mod:

EAGE is EA's Graphics Editor (aka EAGraph) and can be found at:

Keep in mind that roster updates only take effect for dynasties started AFTER you updated the roster. Whatever rosters you use when you start your dynasty are stored within the dynasty save file and are unaffected by updates. Rosters should be affected by uniform updates, and vice-versa. The only problems you run into with rosters usually involve cyberfaces and things like that. EA Graph will let you import those .fsh files to the places that the README tells you to put them. Try those 2 downloads and let me know if you need any other help.

but you can update you rosters mid dynasty with data importer/exporter.

I'm only 7 games into my Dynasty. I think it would be better just to start over than get bogged down into adjusting the save file.

Where can I find a good update to the Cardinal roster with faces and all?

Any of the latest roster updates would be good to use, whether it be KG's Roster Overhaul or Ultimate Rosters. As for cyberfaces, there are certain packs that work well with certain roster updates. You'll have to look at the README's for the roster update that you want to install and then decide if you want to install any cyberface packs after that. I have the updated MVP 07 Total Conversion mod w/the patch installed and the cyberfaces in there work fine for me with the exception of a few Cardinal players who have generic ones (Wainwright, Bennett, Reyes, etc.)

I don't know of any Cardinal cyberface packs that contain ALL of the current Cardinals, but the roster updates should be easy to find, just look for the latest Ultimate Rosters file or the latest KG Roster file.

If you haven't yet, I would recommend downloading the MVP 07 conversion mod FIRST. This will, more or less, update your game to the most current rosters, stadiums, schedule, etc. for the 2007 season. It can be found at http://www.mvpmods.com/Downloads/details/id=3771.html and it is truly fantastic. There is also a patch for that download to which is at http://www.mvpmods.com/Downloads/details/id=3971.html. Those 2 downloads will get your MVP 2005 install as close to a MVP 2007 game as you can get.

The 07 models.big comes with utilities to convert any roster into a 07 roster

That is incorrect info. The f123a also goes into the models.big. It is part of the uniform. The only things installed into the uniforms.big are uniform previews.

If you already did this it will not hurt anything, but for the uniforms to function correctly also do what big shmooz said
