Importing a team from one mod to another.

[Gordo]

Ok..... simply what I want to do is import the 08 mod Phillies into the Total Classics 9 mod. I would be content substituting the 08 team for one of the older (pre-1980) Phils teams. I realize that I can't simply import/overwrite using MVPedit as cyberface numbers would not match up and I would end up with the 08 players having the TC9 faces/portraits. Is there an efficient way to do this?

Not really. All you can really do is use brute force -- Export the '08 Phillies team with MVPEdit and then import it into the TC9 rosters. After that, it's mainly a matter of looking at each player one by one on the '08 rosters to see what cyberface they use.

You'd then have to extract the necessary cyberfaces from the 08 mod models.big file and then import them into the TC9 models.big. You would have to do the same thing with the portraits (extracting them from the 08 mod portrait.big file and importing them into the TC9 models.big file). One thing to be aware of is that depending upon the portrait ID you use, there is a high liklihood that you will have the wrong name announced when your '08 Phillies come up to bat. As you may know, the same ID is used as the portrait ID and audio ID.

As we developed TC, AlexTony and I worked very closely to make sure that we both used the same ID for a player's portrait and audio (I assigned portraits and he created audios).
