danc Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hey, I just played my first game using the "all time" mod. This is fun! I have been trying to "build" an all-time game since earl weaver. Tried to do it with high heat but ty cobb hit 70 hr"s. Thanks for this effort. No matter what follows I am a tremendous fan of this project. You did ask for feedback.......... An intro "screen/music" would really help and the Harwell commentary would be a nice addition. I first tried to play using the Mariners but the game crashed three times (Why?) so I moved on to the Yanks. It was a blast trying to hit Cy Young. Whitey could not make it more than six against the sox even though he did well. Maybe I have a thing with running speed, and maybe the "calculators" us a strange formula but............. How is it possible that the Babe has a higher speed rating than Mickey (72 vs 67)?? Is it based on stolen bases? Maybe a SABR approach might help with the ratings calcs?? Lou and Mick have the same speed rating and "AFart" leads Jeter 86 to 77. BTW - there are plenty of other Yankee 3b (Nettles,etc). Let Arod stick with Seattle. He should have anyway ! Thanks for a great experience. With some tweaks, this could top them all. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Danc --- I just tried out the Mariners and they worked fine for me ........ so it isn't a face issue because I didn't change any roster stuff nor faces and if you installed it over a clean copy of MVP 2005 and installed it per baseballfan's instructions then all should be OK ........... check your install and/or download again ......... the Mariners should work fine !

danc Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ste- I even tried to restart the dynasty several times but when I try to play the first game (vs. Twins) it kicks to desktop. All others (Yanks,Pirates,Reds) work fine. Wierd........................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hey, I tried to start a dynasty using the twins and it crashed the same way as the Mariners did. I tried a more recent version of safeco (2k7 vs. 2k4) but no go.............. Do the mariners play at safeco in this mod or someplace else? I am trying to pin down the problem. A reinstall produces the same problem.......... Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 danc, Specifically when does the crash occur? A) I assume you started with a "Clean" copy of MVP 2005 without any other mods installed. If not then you could experience all sorts of problems ....... Have you double checked that you copied everything over to the correct locations from baseballfans instructions? C) Perhaps, if you copied over all the files I mentioned in another post from the TCV10 & 1994 Mods then you might have done it before I corrected a typo I made in the "Copy over the pnamehdr file into the audio/spch_pdp directory" which incorrectly initially said the spch_pa dirctory versus the later corrected to the spch_pbp directory. D) It possibly could be a video card issue with the size of one of those stadiums perhaps but seems as though you would have come across that issue using many of others Mods before as well Other than those 4 ideas I have no others to offer ........... Good Luck, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks ste... This is what I did. Straight from the how to install instructions with the mod. This was done over the same "fresh" install that I have used for other mods. The only change I made was to change the ingame.big and igonly.big files to the ones that I use for all the mods I play. It is one I modified long ago. If that is the problem then I guess I won't be using the mod. The batting view is one that I have grown very used to. It is odd that it is only the Mariners or Twins. Another odd thing is that it crashes before even getting to the select uniform or select stadium screen. It crashes right after the staring pitchers screen. Never had one crash this early before. Couldn't be Johnson vs. Johnson could it??? Manual Installation 1) Extract FanFavorite.zip Copy models.big and paste (replace) it into Program Files\EA Sports\MVP Baseball 2005\data\ 2) Copy ALL files extension ending in .dat & paste it into Program Files\EA Sports\MVP Baseball 2005\data\database 3) Copy portrait.big and paste (replace) it into Program Files\EA Sports\MVP Baseball 2005\data\frontend 4) Copy these 4 .big files (igonly.big, ingame.big, coopov.big, cooplay.big) to the Program Files\EA Sports\MVP Baseball 2005\data\frontend Copy ONLY igcrsr.fsh file to the Program Files\EA Sports\MVP Baseball 2005\data\igshapes Future update release will depend on the respond by you the fans. All are welcome to discuss & show capture video/picture from this mod @ http://www.mvpmods.c...showtopic=52675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseballfans Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Ste- I even tried to restart the dynasty several times but when I try to play the first game (vs. Twins) it kicks to desktop. All others (Yanks,Pirates,Reds) work fine. Wierd........................ Hmm the mod was design for exibition play only. I think if U avoid dynasty play and go straight to exibition play the game should work just fine. For east install U really can try TIT from mlbmods.com. TIT seem to avoid any manual error putting file to the proper place. Note fresh install PLUS (EA patch 3) they fix some camera angle and your ingame.big maybe have conflict without it. This is solution I have for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 So the game will crash if you play dynasty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Dynasty play should be OK "IF" you turn off all those Dynasty options that avoid the original 25 man roster from being changed via injuries, trades, call ups, etc etc ..........

danc Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 ........fan, Thanks for the response. I have updated to the lastest EA patch (#5 I believe) and use that install for all conversion mods. I have tried running the game with the included ingame.big and it still crashes after the pitching screen only with the Mariners. I can not get to the roster screen with Mariners or Twins. I have reinstalled three times , all manual, to make sure that all files are placed in the folders described in the manual install. This is frustrating. It's only with the Mariners........................my favorite of course. Thanks for the input. I will try TiT and see if it makes any difference and let you know.

Edtench Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Danc, I too have had crashing with the Mariners playing exhibition against the Reds. I was able to edit the mbe file and re-import to the database. The problem I found was the Mariners line up without DH. I just used MVPedit to clear the lineup and re-enter it. Then I save the mbe file, then imported back to the database directory and haven't seen the problem again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Wow.......... Thanks Ed.... Do you think that if I just select "use dh" as a preference I could get to the game screen? I am not very familiar with the *.mbe editor...... I would probably just screw it up more......... I will try changing preferences to use the dh. For the Mariners that is a better fit for dynasty play anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 YYEESS......... You nailed it bud............. It works......... My new problem is that, choosing to use dh al only, now that has become my default setting for other mods. I will work on that.... BTW, I set it within the dynasty, not before starting it............... Why did the dynasty setting get transferred to dh al?? Oh well, THANKS. The fun begins.
