Gordo Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Like I said. The game wasn't built with Windows 8 in mind. And Windows 8 wasn't built worrying too much about older games. But this is why M$ built in compatibility modes. Why is it so important to run it in Windows 8? You got it to work, which is the whole idea, right? So what do you think about the playability?

drob71688 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hey I just downloaded your roster and cannot figure it out for the life of me. I copied the 19 files to the data/database folder and deleted the old ones. Then go to start up the game and the rosters still have Chipper Jones and Jair Jurrjens on Atlanta. It's not an issue with your roster as I can't get anyone's rosters to work. The only roster I've ever gotten to work are ones that include .sav files that I have to load. Pardon me if i'm missing something extremely easy here as I just bought the game and have been struggling with this for a few days now! I'm using Windows 7 btw.

Gordo Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Have you looked at the solutions that people with Windows 7 posted above? There might be your answer somewhere in there. Otherwise, right click on the executable icon and see if you can run the game in XP compatible mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drob71688 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 It will run, but it's just regular mvp 05 and when I hit manage rosters it crashes to the desktop. Any way to re-install mvp 12 and the rosters into this mode? I'm someone tech savvy but not too much lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Maybe you should try one of the fixes indicated by others on previous postings of this thread before you go to all that trouble, especially since you're using Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drob71688 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Ended up getting the rosters to work, but it's on MVP 05 instead of 12. I ran it on XP Service pack 3. None of the cyberfaces are there either (probably b/c it's tied into the MVP 12 TC mod) So essentially it's the same issue Bravesfan is having. I saw someone talk about how it doesn't work well sometimes when mvp is installed to the x86 directory so I'm going to reinstall in regular program files and see if that works. Thank you for all of the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 You may not have to re-install. I would try just moving the entire file over to where you need it and give it a shot first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drob71688 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Blahhh, just tried it and still MVP 05 comes up. Should I try a different mode? Maybe Vista or something? The rosters look damn good and i'm antsy to start a dynasty up with a fantasy draft lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'm sorry but I don't know that much about the Windows 7 nuances.... so if you can run in XP mode, maybe that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drob71688 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 This is just getting comical lol. In windows 7 the TC12 mod runs but the rosters don't work. In any xp the rosters work, but the TC mod doesn't. In Vista the TC mod works, but nothing for the rosters. Think the 08 mod would be better to try? I'm running out of ideas here.

surly Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Here's how I got it to work on Win 7. Uninstall your mvp05 and delete the mvp12 leftovers from Program Files. Then install it again, but pick your desktop as the location (and install the MVP12 mod and then the rosters). That way it won't have the weird copy/paste protections that the Program Files has. For some reason clicking on the mvp05.exe will always boot vanilla MVP05 (but clicking on your desktop or start menu shortcut goes to mvp12), so by actually installing the program outside of the program files folder you can still use those shortcuts so that it will actually boot MVP 12 and the rosters will work. I still can't get the schedule/year updater to work, but that's really minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drob71688 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Omg that worked! Thank you so much! It wouldn't let me install directly to the desktop so I just created a new folder on the desktop and installed that. Everything works wonderfully now. Finally can start up my dynasty lol. Thank you both for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edtench Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Daflyboys, I have always enjoyed your rosters and appreciate the work you put into them. Having said that, I am having a strange issue with version 1.c of your roster for 2013. I have trades turned off but somehow teams are signing players. For example, the Cubs signed Derek Jeter and Jose Reyes. The Brewers singed Ryan Braun so now they have 2 Ryan Brauns on the team. The trades don't show up in the "team transactions" information in "around the league." What could be causing this?

Gordo Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 I saw this too when experimenting, but it was the Dodgers who signed both of those players. FA's shouldn't get signed when trades are turned off, so I don't understand that. Overall, it could be a problem with AL & NL All-Stars having a "No" to Hidden. Globally edit, via MVPedit, both of the All-Star squads for Hidden to say "Yes" (or do it manually) and this would hopefully take care of the problem. Remember, if you're going to import the roster set to MVPedit, you have to delete the "Reynolds, Shane" line from attributes.dat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedbeardMtn Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Seems like the solution to nearly all issues with the rosters and Windows 7 are solved by installing MVP to the Desktop, so for anyone else wishing to solve these same problems, do this: Install MVP 05 to the desktop. Update to MVP 2012 Install rosters as instructed (unzip into directory, do not copy into directory) Go into the directory and click the exe file to run, unless you can get the icon to run it, which I cannot This also allowed my schedule updater to work again.

Edtench Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Daflyboys, Thanks- I'll try it out. Edtench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Getting close here on the next installment. It should be a functional complete majors/minors set, largely thanks to kyleb. There is absolutely no time frame, so please don't ask. However, I was able to figure out somewhat of a defensive attribute ratings system of sorts (utilizing fangraphs). I had to fudge on a few of the game's superstars, but overall I liked how it turned out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
