  1. The only problem with that is if you have a thread that a lot of people are commenting on. For example, if you had a 15 comment limit, how many MVP15 support threads would we have had? You'd then have to indicate somewhere in the title which thread it is so that if someone new comes on and sees an MVP15 support thread, they know that the one they are looking at is the 7th thread and there were 6 previous threads covering the same topic.
  2. That's enough of that, so just let it drop. Your comment is no more helpful than Y4L's and in fact is worse. He was making a joke. Your message is clearly a personal attack by bringing up things that occurred in the past. If you don't like someone's comment, just ignore it.
  3. Most mods have a Readme file with them. Have you looked at these instructions after extracting all of the files from the mod?

    hello

    Welcome back! It's great to see you here.
  5. The file you downloaded is a Zip archive file. It contains a number of other files. You need to extract the contents of it with a utility like WinZip or WinRAR. I just looked in the Zip file and it contains a number of other folders and files, including a set of instructions on how to install the files in the mod.
  6. You're right, I misspoke. You DO get the current year stats. Making trades like you suggest will work. You will just have to create from scratch any rookies that appeared in 1971 or keep two copies of MVPEdit running, one with 1970 players (the one you are making trades on) and one with 1971 players. When you create a rookie in your 1970 roster, you would manually copy all of his attributes from his entry from his 1971 roster.
  7. It can be done, but you would need to change a number of different things: In-game text, uniforms, logos, the default stadium, stadium name audio and team name audio. Some things are easy to change. Others take more work to do.
  8. There's an easier way to import stats rather than doing it manually and it is how I start all my TC rosters. When you want to start creating rosters, grab the teams from the Lahman Database in MVPEdit. For each team do the following: Open a roster file in MVPEdit (it can be any roster)On the top menubar, select File->Import->Team from Lahman DatabaseA scrolling list of teams will appear from 1871 - to the present (or at least to the present when the version of the Lahman Database in MVPEdit was created)Select your team (for example, 1971 Baltimore Orioles)Select the option to "Import Stats to Current Year" (and not "Import Stats for All Years"). This will insure that only stats through the 1970 season are imported.Select the option to "Replace Existing Team" (and not "Add Team")Select the team you want to overwrite (in this case you want to replace the Baltimore Orioles in MVPEdit with the 1971 Baltimore Orioles)Click OKYou have now imported the 1971 Orioles into MVPEdit. You will note that there will be more than 25 players on the roster. That's because if a player gets one at-bat or pitches one inning, Lahman includes him on the roster for that year. You then have to trim your rosters down to 25 players using whatever method you want. I use www.retrosheet.org to get the 25 players (15 position players and 10 pitchers) who played or pitched the most games for the team that year. No player appears on more than one roster and if he played on multiple teams that year, he shows up on the one where he played the most. As far as TC mods, I am working on another project, however, I'm following my standard practice of not giving out any details until it is released. This way, I can work on it at my own pace and not feel any pressure to rush something out.
  9. Many of the Total Classics mods (Total Classics 1969, 1974, 1975, 1977, 1984 and 1994) include the Expos. There is also at least one Expos team (1980, I think) in the original Total Classics mod.
  10. Look in this thread: http://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/15434-controllercfg-for-xbox-360-controller-for-mvp-on-the-pc/
  11. Even though MVPEdit does allow you to have up to 255 players on the FA pool, I've found that having a large number of players in there will cause crashes. I always keep mine below 50 and have not had any problems.
  12. You will find him in a number of the Total Classics mods - Total Classics 10 and Total Classics 1984 are a couple that come to mind. I believe that there is a Strawberry cyberface in one of Homer's face packs.
  13. I could be wrong but I don't think Mile High was ever created. It was on the stadium "wish list" at one point.
  14. Mustard and sweet red pepper relish (or regular green relish if the pepper relish isn't available).

    Global Edit

    Please do not bump your posts to get them back to the top of the list. It is against site rules. If someone has an answer, they will post one. Asking again if someone has an answer to your question won't get one any quicker.
  16. I think they need a few more years of playing time before they can be considered Legends.
  17. I mean wherever mvp2005.exe is located. That's probably the MVP Baseball 2005 folder.
  18. 1. Extract the patch to the top level folder of your default game installation and run it from there. 2. Don't install the mod until you've patched the game. 3. As long as you abide by the site rules, you will get help.

    Other Mods

    I uploaded the invisible baseball mod 2 weeks ago. You can't see it? That explains why the download count for the mod is still zero!
  20. You can only install the patches to the default version of the game. If you have modded even one file and then try to install the patch, it will fail and tell you that you do not have the default version of the game. Do not extract the TC10 installer to the same folder where you want to want to install the TC mod. Extract the TC10 installer to a different folder (for example TC10_install). When you run the installer and it asks you where to install the mod, THAT is when you specify C:\MVPMods\TC10. Also, regarding your two consecutive messages above, please do not bump your posts to get it moved to the top of the list. That is a violation of forum rules. You need to be patient. If someone has an answer to your question, they will post a response. In addition, the site has been up and down over the last day, so that is why you didn't get an answer sooner.
  21. On Windows-7, I think it installs the game in the "Program Files (x86)" folder by default. That should work. I was only saying not to do that because I remember KC posting that in his post describing how best to install the game.
  22. You don't reinstall another copy with the discs. What it is saying is that you install a clean, unmodded, version of the game once, install any of the official EA patches to it and then NEVER install anything on top of that original version of the game. Whenever you want to install a conversion mod (Total Classics 10, TC1927, MVP15, etc.), you create a new folder and then copy everything (all files and folders) from your "clean" installation folder to your new folder. You then install your conversion mod on top of that new version. For example, I have Windows-XP and have my original copy of the game in the C:\Program Files\EA Sports\MVP Baseball 2005 folder. It doesn't matter where you install the original version, however, if you are running Windows-7, it's best not to install it to the Program Files folder. It's better to install it to a folder like C:\MVP Baseball 2005. When I wanted to install Total Classics 10, I did the following: I created a C:\Total Classics 10 folderI copied everything from C:\Program Files\EA Sports\MVP Baseball 2005 to C:\Total Classics 10I went to the folder where I saved the Total Classics 10 mod and ran its installer.When I was prompted to enter the folder to install the mod, I selected the C:\Total Classics 10 folderWhen the installation was finished, I now had two installations -- the original, "clean", version and Total Classics 10. I repeat steps 1 - 4 above every time I want to install a new conversion mod.
  23. Have you read this thread?: http://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/43843-installing-multiple-mods/
  24. What mod(s) are you trying to install? Are you trying to have multiple installations of the game?
  25. ​He may not have included the pname.dat file from the 1994 mod in this mod.
