kyleb Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 ar_key will be getting me his attrib.dat file shortly. I will convert it to Excel and hopefully have it ready for everyone asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleb Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Kraw's already on board. Photos are going to be ready pretty quickly so we will have portraits done relatively quickly too, but we can't do that unless someone starts updating the id list. A lot of things are depending on someone staying up to date on it. Got a lot of work done on this tonight. Ar_key's rosters aren't set up for cyberface packs, so those will need to be adjusted and new faces will have to be selected for inclusion. Question - is anybody aware of a online spreadsheet-collaboration application that will display duplicate values with conditional formatting? I've got Excel set-up to show ID numbers in a red cell whenever there is a conflict with duplicate numbers so that I can quickly just replace it with a random number. This way, everyone could work on it and it would be clear when there are errors. No single person would be responsible for it so that it never falls too far behind and changes could be reviewed or reverted if necessary (like a Wiki). Is there an option out there like this?

kyleb Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yeah, I remember that a little. But is there a way to display an error if a duplicate value is chosen? I found how to do it easily in Excel but can't find it Google Docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleb Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Nevermind, I've got it. Just gotta sort out the duplicate ID values now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finxter Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have never actually done any modding that was used here before, but would be willing to help. I have a good bit of free time on my job during the graveyard shift, and not usually much real work to do. I also do not always have access to the internet (when working alone I don't, but twice a week my co-worker is here w/mobile hot spot) except on my iphone (no tethering, unlimited data plan), so something I could either do most of w/o internet access, or that I could download during the day to my laptop and then work on at night. I'm pretty tech savvy (A+ certified) but would need some instruction and/or guidance from someone. My thought was maybe the logos you still need or the LOCs; the stadium frontend may be over my head. One other thought was did you need someone to update all the last year and career stats for all players? I noticed in some rosters of the past that no one updated the stats, they were still from many years ago. Please let me know ASAP! PS - I do want to be one of the few to say that you guys all do an awesome job, and other than playing Words w/Friends, Angry Birds, and Chess on my iPhone, MVP Baseball 2005 is the only real game I still play on my laptop (at work sometimes so I don't fall asleep) and occasionally Zork (still haven't solved it). That brings me a good question, could this be made into an iPhone or iPad app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finxter Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Oops 1 more question, How hard would it be to have the home team's actual broadcast crew do the play-by-play of each game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be impossible. You would have to create 30 distinct sets of player name audios, stadium name audios, team name audios, play by play audios, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomhauertjs Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys for doing this. I've been playing MLB 2k on my PC the last couple of years and haven't played MVP since I got rid of my Xbox a few years back. While I really like 2k's pitching mechanic, the fielding is awful, while MVP's was the best. When I saw that a 2012 mod was going to be available for MVP, I was able to track down a copy of MVP 05 from my library (hopefully I can keep renewing it - doubt there will be much demand for it), so I'll be playing the MVP 12 mod this year (when my newborn son's schedule allows it). I'm really excited to see what you guys can produce. Edited March 22, 2012 by boomhauertjs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavicchi Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I happened to check in today and read a message from Kyle asking permission to use some of my old audio. Wow, I didn't know you guys were working on an MVP 12. I haven't played MVP since MVP 08. Oh, someone asked about Pirate. I saw one of his posts on operation sports, so I guess he hangs around there now. Anyway, as I told Kyle, as long as credit is given, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Why don't you guys just use Grmrpr's rosters instead of mine. He already seemed to incorporate a lot of my re-ratings from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually leaning towards ar_key's as his minor leagues appear a little more accurate and I have also spent the last week adjusting ID's with it to make it line up with the new Player ID list.

kyleb Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I think the ideal situation would be similar to the (I think) 06 installer that would let people have an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rroy0824 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Just wanted to say good luck with this. Can't wait to play it. Hope it finally gets done this year. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleb Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Here is an update on the progress. AUDIO Speech - Jaycee20 Menu – Kyleb (COMPLETED) Walk-up – Kyleb (COMPLETED) I'm trying to trackdown Milkman Ant for permission to use his Marlins team audio. Minor league team audio will need rearranged to reflect changes in organizations. A few new team audios will need created. Please forward all requests to Jaycee20. FACES Homer/Jogar84/Jedinstvo/Veesmack Homer is compiling the 2012 facepack. Please look for changes in the player ID thread. FRONTEND Backgrounds/Loading Screens - RJSim (COMPLETED) Logos (MLB) - ??? Logos (MiLB) - bctrackboi11 Movies - bctrackboi11 Stadium - Yankee4Life Uniform - nani1379/kyleb/bctrackboi11 RJSim's screens are done. I've reorganized most of the minor league logos but some new ones will need created including Pensacola Blue Wahoos and Tuscon Padres. Y4L will be compiling stadium frontend after Opening Day. We have nani's uniform frontend, I've updated it to reflect changes in minor league organizations, bctrackboi11 will be making some updates as well. MISC Schedule - DylanBradbury (COMPLETED) LOCs - Kyleb (COMPLETED) Overlay - Dennisjames71 (COMPLETED) PORTRAITS Player Portraits - Homer/Kraw Homer and Kraw are preparing the 2012 Total Portraits package. ROSTERS Daflyboys (40 man with cyberfaces) ar_key (A-MLB, no cyberfaces) Both of these rosters have been offered. I will be updating ar_key's roster to include cyberfaces. STADIUMS (MLB) Dennisjames71 (MiLB) Dennisjames71/bctrackboi DennisJames has been pounding out stadium updates like a boss. They look great! Doesn't look like NYY, MIN, or MIA stadiums will get updates, however. UNIFORMS (MLB) - nani1379/bctrackboi11 (MiLB) - bctrackboi11 I'm currently waiting for nani to contribute his uniforms to the Dropbox. Can't wait to see the Latino 2012 mod. Bctrackboi will be updating certain major league uniforms and minor league uniforms. Bctrackboi and Yankee4Life have compiled some classic uniforms to include. Please weigh-in on which one you would like to see included in the thread Y4L posted. Once the portraits and facepacks are ready, we will move to the testing phase. Everybody on the Dropbox list will have access to a working copy of the mod in order to review it for inaccuracies, pieces that need updates, and crashes. Let me know if I've gotten anything mixed up. Thanks! Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleb Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I tracked milkman down and asked, he gave us permission to use his stuff. Sweet. I believe that brings us up-to-date with all of the "modern" modders whose work I was looking for permission to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 So will this be a complete install mod or a multi-piecing together when all is said and done? My suggestion/question is that if it is the latter, could there be a separate DL area, at least temporarily (several months) just for '12 UL's?
