kaos Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hey guys, I would like to see if I could do this on my own. But I have no modding experience. Basically, in 07 I liked the darker ball color, but in 08 it's a nice clean bright white. I would like to change it back to what it was in 07. So I tried looking for a pic and maybe replacing, but didn't see a pics labled as ball.jpg. Could it be called something else or would this be a datafile.txt change? I'm assuming there has to be an image I could replace right? Thanks. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/35628-changing-the-ball-color/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I never used '07, but I think it might have come packaged with Trues' dirty ball update, which, like your description sounds like, makes the ball look more dirty, as if it's already been used for an inning or 2.

Wicked420 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Try this one, "Trues Hi-Res Dirty Baseball". I switched the 08' one out with this one and its worked perfect. http://www.mvpmods.com/Downloads/details/id=2628.html Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/35628-changing-the-ball-color/#findComment-537541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaos Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks again guys. So much better. So easy too and I made it so difficult by trying to create my own mod. I was installing/ researching programs that can open up fsh/ big files.

Cavicchi Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 It is easy to install but what if you don't like it and want to reinstall the original? What file should one backup before installing this ball? Is there an easier way than copying the entire data folder?

kaos Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Well I looked at that .bat file that you need to run and the the only change is to this file initstaz.big in the data folder. I think the initstay.big file is inside of the initstaz.big so no need to back that up. Or you can install this baseball mod. http://www.mvpmods.com/Downloads/details/id=2585.html and here's another one. http://www.mvpmods.com/Downloads/details/id=8.html you can download them and look at the textures used. p.s. to look at the .bat file just right click and hit edit to see what it's doing. i don't know anything about programming, but you can kinda tell what it's doing. I also believe anything following a # is just a notation.

Cavicchi Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Yes, the inistay.big is inside the inistaz.big file. Thanks for the information. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/35628-changing-the-ball-color/#findComment-537650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The dirty ball mod looks great. The white ball was hard to see and hit. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/35628-changing-the-ball-color/#findComment-545110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Actually, how can I reinstall the old ball with erasing the updates in MVP 08? Thanks. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/35628-changing-the-ball-color/#findComment-545718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
