xx74xx Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hi, I'm a veteran of MVP 2005 and Mods in general......however, the error i'm getting while using the TC1988 Installer has me perplexed: C\Program Files\EA SPORTS\Total Classics 1988\data\databases\not found I did create a seperate folder named Total Classics 1988 within the EA SPORTS folder in Program Files.

Maestro23 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Did you put a copy of the data folder from a "default" MVP 05 install, into the installation folder for the 88 mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx74xx Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yes, I did. Kinda weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Let me look into this since I created the TC1988 installer for tebjr. In the meantime, you can still install the mod by manually copying the files to the proper locations. The installation instructions provide the details on how to do this.

Yankee4Life Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Now i'm getting the following error: C\Program Files\EA SPORTS\Total Classics 1988\data\databases\schedule.big not found Odd error to get. One question: Where did you download this game from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx74xx Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Jim, Just missed you posting, it has installed fine literally 4 minutes ago........... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 That's good to hear. I just checked the installer source code and it does have "data\database" as the folder to install the roster files, so I'm not sure why you saw the error message with "data\databases" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx74xx Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Well I figured out I did a VERY stupid thing, I moved the TC1988 Installer out of the folder, and on to the desktop for easy access, not realizing it's like moving a file out of a folder when designing a web page, and then wondering why the page doesn't appear correctly. Anywhos, i'm obviously extremely rusty since playing the MVP 2006 Mod, i'm currently searching the forums trying to figure out how to launch TC 1988, and not MVP 2005. I'm getting older, and dumber by the day, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP Fonz Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I have no experience with TC mods, and no experience with MVP mods so forgive my ignorance. I've been having a problem which is similar to the one above. I tried installing TC88 over a vanilla install of MVP 05. Long story short, it converted everything but rosters/stats/and stadiums to TC88. The menus, music, team logo's ect had survived the install but the others did not. Here's the long story: Had a vanilla install of MVP05(legit copy btw), patched it with official patch #5. Checked it to see if it was working. It was. Used TC88 installer to extract files to C:\program files\ea sports\MVP BaseBall 2005, received a diagnostic message outlining files that had not successfully been installed. Then i Autoran TC88; GUI, music, team logo's are as of tc88. HOWEVER, rosters stats and stadiums are as of 2005. running a Vista OS 2 questions: what did I do wrong? Where did the roster/stat/stadium files that were extracted by the TC88 installer go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Did you read the detailed installation instructions that were included with the mod to make sure you extracted everything properly and then ran the installer correctly? If you did read them and you are having problems, have you tried installing the files manually (i.e. copying them to the proper folders)? When I wrote the instructions, I listed exactly where to copy the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP Fonz Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 thanks for the quick reply Jim, I tired but i did not. I've seen the file you speak of(installation instructions).I opened it up in notepad but couldn't really read anything. The file is hundreds upon hundreds of line of unintelligible text. Should I try re-downloading the mod? Will that allow me to view these instructions as intended? EDIT: I just double checked, Here's a small sample from TC1988_installation_instructions, the 1st 3 lines: {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1\deff0\stshfdbch0\stshfloch0\stshfhich0\stshfbi0\deflang1033\deflangfe1033{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fcharset0\fprq2{\*\panose 02020603050405020304}Times New Roman;} {\f2\fmodern\fcharset0\fprq1{\*\panose 02070309020205020404}Courier New;}{\f3\froman\fcharset2\fprq2{\*\panose and it goes on and on. Near the bottom of the page, it says something about read-only files. Is that something that has to do with the install? Do i have to change these read only files before the installer overwrites them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must open it in Microsoft Word or find some sort of online utility to convert it to another format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
