Importing/Exporting players

Recommended Posts

I did a search and couldn't find any results. Can I import players from MVP 2004 into MVP 2005? It almost lets me do it, but then I get an error message saying the mep file is invalid. It seems that the ultimate rosters 1.0 set has imported players from MVP 2004. Am I missing something?

I exported chris bootcheck from 2004, then saved as an mep file. I then tried to import that file into 2005 and place him on the Salt Lake team. Then the error pops up. I think I remember doing this with High Heat, so I was just wondering if I can do it with MVP.

wolar32,

Robert Glass has an MVPConvert Program which does 90% of the work:

http://www.glass4.com/mvpedit/

It converts '04 .mbe (full roster file) to '05 .mbe files.

MVPEdit V4 is not compatible with lower levels of MVPEdit for both .met (team files) and .mbe (player files) but is compatible for .mbe files.

Once you create a converted '04 .mbe file you should do the following:

1) You probably should export each team from the converted .mpe file to create a .met file in V4 format then reimport that .met file into a copy of a good V4 .mbe file.

2) inspect each player to make certain his faces & portrait shows up. Generic faces 901-915 (I think) are OK for "Picture Not Found" conditions but any other face with "Picture Not Found" needs to be corrected or it will crash the game.

3) also once in the game take a look at all four lineups for each team if they look strange (i.e. Like E(mpty) or similar) in the DH or SP's spot then you have to go back and clear the rotation and in some cases the lineups as well in MVPEdit to correct that problem. This happen fairly infrequently. You might want to run the Check Errors option in MVPEdit and it might point these conditions out to you but I am not sure if it does or not.

Hope this helps ---- if you have any other questions just ask and I will try to help you out.

Take Care,

Don
