alantrammellisahofer Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I am having a heck of a time getting TC 1988 to work. I am running TC 9 with no problems. I did the whole copy MVP folder, fresh install thing to install another copy of TC 1956, and that works like a charm. Unfortunately, when I do the same thing with TC 1988, I can't play any game with the Tigers. I get a complete crash. But if I play with other non Tiger teams it seems to work. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, as TC 88 looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 when does it crash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Does it crash at home or away? Both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alantrammellisahofer Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 when I start the game, after I select pitchers, lineups, etc. It goes to the screen with the bar that starts loading...the bar gets halfway through and it goes black and I get the bad windows message. I was very surprised because I installed 56 the same way and have no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 it's mike heath causing the crashing. i don't know why, since he has a generic face. we can start there and see if we can figure out why it's crashing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Heath to come up to the plate with no problems. Not saying that he's not the problem, but I was able to get past him with no crash this time.

alantrammellisahofer Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 So how do I try to fix Mike Heath? Incidentally, I always thought he was a pretty serviceable backup catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 So how do I try to fix Mike Heath? Incidentally, I always thought he was a pretty serviceable backup catcher. I'm not sure. Like Homer said, Heath has a generic face, so if it's the face, all the players with that generic face would crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 i'm not sure either. i can't even get a game to start up. i checked him in the player edit screen and he crashes every time. this one has me stumped for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 well then i guess we'll do the obvious thing and try to re-install the game. i'd suggest you do the same too, alantrammellisahofer. something's goofy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alantrammellisahofer Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 I've reinstalled like 5 times and get the same crash. I tried playing a couple of other teams and they all worked, so it appears to be related to the tigers. Incidentally, it doesn't matter which stadium they are in either (tiger stadium or road). Any other thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 nothing for me either. i still get the same problem with heath. i really can't think of anything else that he could have that would cause crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 All that would tie to a specific player would be a portrait, face, or audio right Homer? We can rule out portrait and audio. The face would show in the player edit screen, but all players with the 901 face would crash if that was it. I'm lost here Homer. Just grasping at straws.

alantrammellisahofer Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Well, I'll let you guys ponder this one for awhile. I love the look of the 88 mod and was really looking forward to it. So any other ideas, please let me know. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeveredSoulX Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Would it matter when we downloaded TC 1988? I just downloaded the most recently updated one and I have the crash too - but before it was updated, it worked perfectly...so maybe that could be a possibility, so when did Homer and Alan download their versions and what version are you playing with tebjr?

stecropper Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I would try deleting him in MVPEdit then recreating him as an exact replica and exporting to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be it. I'm using the original version with the addons installed afterwards. Maybe Jim can shed some light on that theory. I don't think anything was changed with Mike Heath, so I'm not really sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alantrammellisahofer Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 I downloaded it on 11/4 so it is very recent. As for the suggestion about deleting him in mvp edit- I'm not familiar with how to do that. Can you provide a step by step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeveredSoulX Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I haven't tried it - but have you tried leaving him off the roster and then having him pinch hit? Could be a possibility but I don't feel like finding my CD to test it haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeveredSoulX Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Ok I just cracked open the roster with MVP Edit and it says Heath has face 855 and I do not know any other players with that number...let me find the cd and change Heath's face to 901 to see if that'll do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeveredSoulX Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Alright - update people!!! I got it to work by changing the face from 855 to 901, so whatever face 855 is, it's corrupted! Glad we found this out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 ok, problem found. so for some reason i had an mbe file that was different from the install of the game. so i re-installed it. turns out the install i had had him assigned the 855 face. i'm not sure if i have the latest install or not, or if my mbe file was the latest or not. but either way, the problem lies in the fact that there is no face installed in the models.big for 855. that's why it crashed. so to fix it, just open your roster in mvpedit, change his id to 901, and export it back to your game. that should do it. for those who don't know how to, just dowload this file. unzip it. copy the attrib.dat file to your database folder and replace the one there.

alantrammellisahofer Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thanks to all- I will try this after work today and see if it fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 That could be it. I'm using the original version with the addons installed afterwards. Maybe Jim can shed some light on that theory. I don't think anything was changed with Mike Heath, so I'm not really sure. I merely packaged everything up for the update (i.e. I didn't do any real testing other than to confirm that the installation procedure worked OK). It sounds like the issue is with the updated roster files or the updated models.big file packaged with the mod. Either an incorrect face ID was given to Mike Heath or a new face for him (ID #855) was not added to the models.big file.files, the models.big file.
