:facepalm:

Okay....Sorry

I'm not doing something right here.

After doing 2K for awhile....I saw this, and thought what a fantastic mod...I've got the 13' mod last year and it was great!!!

Thought I'd try this one.

I enjoy Classic games 69 64 77 etc.

So I took a new copy of the guts of MVP

Downloaded a links of the data. (Copy, Mediafile, 4share)

I've extracted/copied to the data file.........I can't get this to work.

It's either doesn't start, starts MVP13 or starts 2005.

I'm I doing something simple stupid, obvious some wrong or what?

I may just give up and keep playing MVP13

Thanks

Hey jd..... you said you extracted to the data file...... can't get this to work. Does that mean you can get the extraction to work?

Not sure what operating system you're running, but I would:

  • Place a copy of your core MVP 2005 folder and place on your desktop.
  • If you actually can extract, first delete the "data" sub-folder in your MVP 2005 folder and extract your new one to the same level as the data sub-folder you just deleted.
  • Don't add any additional rosters quite yet.
  • Try to start a game by clicking on the main application .exe file in this desktop main folder.
  • If still no success, go to the troubleshooting area on the main download page of MVP 14 and follow those tips.
  • If you are good to go, then you can try other rosters at this point. good luck.

THANKS..................You guys do AWESOME work!!!!!!

Took awhile but I got her going.

My Zip was opening all the files so there was no folder in the data...

I had to back up one process in my Jzip program to everything back in files, then do the Biggui thing,

and it worked. Thanks again

Diehard....you said you've "checked" the rosters for injuries (rotations and lineups should be fine unless you made some other changes yourself). It sounds like you're running into the problem of allowing injuries and/or trades and/or suspensions on. Start a new season and turn them all totally off and see what you get. Hopefully with MVP 15 there will be more complete rosters allowing for these to be left on. (In the meantime you can look earlier in this thread where I believe I posted a fix.)

I've got the same problem and I've checked all my rosters and turned injuries and suspensions off. Using datFly's most recent roster and I've spent the last couple weeks switching players around with current roster moves.

All the minor teams have at least 21 players, at least 10 fielders and 10 pitchers on all teams. I'm running WIn 7 but in XP compatibility so I get less crashes. But halfway into April of the first season when I have the Winston Salem Dash (playing with the White Sox rosters) against the Braves' single A team, it stays stuck and game crashes. I started a new season and simmed just through April but around the same time, 3rd week or so even using the standard schedule. I'm guessing I'm probably gonna have to reset the rosters and start over.

Where did you do your changes.... in the game itself? That's problem #1. Regardless, 21 players / minor league team isn't enough either. My suggestion somewhere else was make them at least 24 players / team. Also, with minor league teams you never know about a given minor league stadium.

Yeah, I kinda figured MVP Edit woulda been better to use, but I can't seem to find the tools to turn a .ros file into an .mbe file so MVPEdit can use it.

And I doubt you will. The .ros files seem specific to the game. Rosters aren't settled any way....so just wait for 2015. It ain't like these guys are actually playing for their new teams right now. :)

Guess I'll have to. 2 quick questions though. When does the next roster or MVP 15 come out and also are they gonna have the minor league changes since the Rockies and Dodgers switched AAA affiliates and the Chatanooga Lookouts are the Twins farm team now and so on?

You'll have to look at the MVP 15 thread. This is the MVP 14 support thread. But the one thing that's frowned upon around here is asking when something is going to be done.

Last year there was a spring training roster last February. Just saying.

Butters-Yes-I-know-what-you-are-saying-g

Seriously though..... how would a Spring Training in February roster be even close to accurate, even for Spring Training?

Someone did one last year that's all I was saying. People on hear are sort of mean no call for that.

Then I suggest you search the download area for the guy who made one last year and then ask him to stop whatever he is doing at the moment and make this roster lickity split.

And not for nothing it should read people on here are sort of mean. Which by the way is no where near the truth. I can name a lot of people that would go out of their way to help someone even it it means putting in a lot of time doing it. It was the way you requested the spring training roster that caused a bit of a problem. It's not the worst thing that's happened here so don't be too concerned about it but what this comes down to is the modders here created mods because they enjoy doing it and it makes the game more fun to play. They do not make mods because someone out there feels they are entitled to have it.

And what does that have to do with this support thread? If you want to request a mod, then there's a place to request it. Yes, you didn't ask for one directly, but you're largely insinuating that someone should do one.

But, you have no idea the amount of work it takes to do a mod the right way such as this. All you do is see the finished product and then grab it when you want to without any indication of gratitude or commendation to the person who put in the time. How do I know this. I look at the comments thread from this Spring training roster from last year and I didn't see your name. That's rather odd.... here the guy who did it put dozens of hours into moving guys around and making sure things were as correct as he could see and you didn't take 25 seconds to put in a word of thanks or even a critical review. You just grabbed the roster and used it to your satisfaction.

So stop being so thin-skinned because you think some people are being mean here and consider how indignant you were being for grabbing something someone did out of their own kindness and you said nothing.

Just sayin'.

I could careless if someone does a roster update to be honest. Just saying!!!!!

Enough of this. This thread's about the Mvp 14 mod and support for it. Stop hijacking it with this subject. If you want to pursue this then make a request for this type of roster.

Guys how do I update the player portraits? For an example I'd like to use Rising Son's New Portraits for MVP14...how do I import them? Could you please walk me through it?

You can use TIT for the portraits. Just place the zipped RAR or 7Z file and install it

I tried that but I must have done something wrong. Could you be more specific? Do I need to have TIT in the main game directory when I use it?

Try using TIT in admin mode. It may need administration privileges to access portraits.big or any .big file

Yes. You need to have TiT in the main directory of the mod you want to install something in.

Example: You have the Mvp 2013 mod and you want to install a portrait. TiT must be in the Mvp 2013 directory. Do this for every mod you have installed.

Thanks that sorta helped. I did that with the six volumes of Rising Son's portraits and now about 1/4 of the players have portraits but the remaining of the players have screwed up faces and heads now (I.e. black body and white head and vice versa). Am I doing something wrong or are the portrait packs incomplete or something?
