Download some of the bat/ball updates and get a look at their .bat files, it shoud be the same, since the same .big files are involved.

Here's what I did for my glove update.....it works for me, but please check it out for yourself.

Please note that it works like this: You run it from the main mvp folder...

step one: Inside the .big file is another .big file....so it unpacks it first and puts it in the main folder

step two: The files are stores with relative folders (like you sometimes have in zip files), so the folders need to be there before it can upack the .big file. And so the batch file will create two folders with some other folders inside them, etc. It's annoying, but it can't be done any other way.

step three: It unpacks the .big file and it'll store all files into all those folders.

step four: Our fielding gloves are already packed in an fsh file and people will download that and they should unpack it (with all the other files) in the main folder. Remember that when we unpacked the big file it put the old fsh file with the old gloves in that created folder! So we need to swap that with our new file & repack the whole thing.

step five: simple instruction....the batch file moves our fsh file into that directory and it'll overwrite the old file.

step six: pack all files in those folders into the .big file again

step seven: pack the .big file back into the original .big file we started with.

step eight: we can delete those create folders (including the files) to clean everything up.

Get the idea ? Upacking file B from file A, creating folders, unpacking file B into those folders, replacing the old file with our new file and repacking the files into file B and then file B into file A, deleting all files except for file A. :)

This is the exact file I wrote: (the 'pause' is usefull to prevent everything from scrolling past you at once). Note that I haven't included the lines to delete all files, cause I use this to test it myself (and I don't want to loose all files everytime I try it out ;) )

echo on

gfxpak -u datainitstaz.big

pause

mkdir models

mkdir misc

cd models

mkdir textures

cd ..

cd misc

mkdir textures

cd ..

gfxpak -u initstay.big

pause

copy fglv.fsh models/texturesfglv.fsh

pause

gfxpak -d initstay.big models/textures/fglv.fsh

gfxpak -p initstay.big models/textures/fglv.fsh

pause

gfxpak -p datainitstaz.big initstay.big

pause

Oh, and it's probably exactly the same as the bats update, cause you need to unpack all the files, no matter if you update the bats or the gloves :)

Bartw has it right - his batch file is almost the same as mine.

I had a bit of trouble at first with the whole packing/unpacking thing when I was making my bats/ball file. Especially because of the way that the initstaz.big file is double packed with inistay.big. The only way to do it is as Bartw has shown, you have to extract the initstay.big, then make the changes to it, then repack it.

A problem arises if you try to unpack inistay.big inside the /data folder. Inside initstay.big is a folder called /misc, but that folder already exists inside /data, that is why my batch file pulled everything out into the main MVP 2004 folder, to avoid that conflict.

In case anyone is interested, I will be releasing a new collection of bats this very soon. I'm just working on getting the screen shots.

If you want to send me the image I can put it in the initstaz.big file. The only problem is that it may be too big to e-mail back to you, I think the repacked file is around 1.5MB (zippped)....some e-mail servers won't allow attachments that big.

Anyways, pm me if you want and I can give you my e-mail address to send it to.
