Compressing datafile.txt...

I'm trying to use Fookes's pitching view and downloaded his changes to the datafile.txt. I went through and made the changes (copied/pasted) into the original stock datafile. I then placed it in the datafile folder. Opened the game and nothing changed.

Do you have to compress the datafile.txt before you place it in the folder? If not, any ideas what I did wrong?

Took the edited datafile.txt and compressed it. Installed it using TIT and opened the game. It got stuck at the loading screen.

I then placed the compressed datafile.txt in the folder and it was the same old view.

Am I missing a step or doing something wrong?

The datafile.txt file should be placed in the data folder and not the datadatafile folder.

Just tried that... game opens up, I select my teams, game loads and then crashes right before I see the field. I took Fookes's code and replaced the old stuff. Any more ideas? Normally, I'm not this helpless.

Obviously something must be wrong with your modified datafile. Did you replace the respective lines or simply copy and paste them? Also, there's an fel file included in Fookes' download. Did you import that into your ingame.big file?

I used TiT to install the fel file and that worked. As for the datafile, I highlighted the line that needed changed and I pasted Fookes's stuff over it. It seems like I did everything right but obviously, I'm doing something wrong. Should I use the Replace function?

EDIT

Hallelujah! I finally got it to work. It wouldn't work if I edited it with the Notepad but worked when I edited the with Wordpad.

Is there a reason why it worked with Wordpad and not Notepad?
