The stuttering issue was addressed in MVP2005 patch #2. I've never installed another patch after that one.

You didn't look very hard, did you? A new cyberface was added yesterday! It's on the front page in the Latest Mods section.

MVPEdit, the roster editing tool we use for MVP2005, allows you to import teams from the Lahman database. That's the first thing I do when I create the rosters for my Total Classics mods.

Here's another suggestion - Open up the rosters in MVPEdit. On the MVPEdit menubar, select Tools->Options and then select the location of your data folder and then select the option to view player faces. Go through every player, one by one, by clicking on the Appearance tab and checking to see whether a face shows up for the player. If the player's face ID is a standard EA face (#901 - #915), you won't see a face, but that's normal. If it's any other number, you should see a face. If you don't see a face (and get a message like "No image found" or something similar in the face window), it tells you that the face is missing in the models.big file. That would cause a crash to occur. If every face shows up OK, then check the face assigned to the managers on each team. On the MVPEdit menu bar, select Team and then click on the Manager tab. I'm going from memory on that, so it might be slightly different, but it's close. Look at the face ID assigned to the manager. MVPEdit doesn't display manager faces like it does for players, so you will need to write down the assigned face IDs and then open up the models.big file with a tool like EAGraph and make sure that the face files for each manager are in the file. Each face consists of three files, a .fsh file, a .ord file and a .orl file (eg. c007.fsh, c007.orl, c007.ord). This would also cause crashing to occur.

The instructions for installing MVP12 or MVP13 are to install them on top of a clean or patched version of MVP2005, and not on top of MVP08.

It seems pretty unlikely that the .exe for both the MVP12 and MVP13 mods would be corrupted for just one person. You might want to try downloading and installing the MVP08 mod http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=6586 and see if you have the same issue.

What makes you think the .exe file is corrupt? Is it because it is a different size than the original .exe file? I believe that the .exe file used in MVP12 and MVP13 is the same modified one that was used in the MVP08 mod. Kraw, who led the effort to create the MVP08 mod, did something to modify the .exe file, although I'm not sure what he did or how he did it.

Yes it is. As a guide, I used a Datafile Layout spreadsheet that snepp (who did a lot with datafiles in MVP2004) had uploaded. The listing for his spreadsheet is on this site, but the download link no longer works. If I remember, I will see if I still have a copy of the spreadsheet and upload it. It explains what many of the lines in the datafile do.

You can edit it as follows: 1. Unpack the file using the eazip tool: eazip -u datafile.txt 2. Once the file is unpacked, edit the file with any text editor (Notepad, etc.) 3. When you are done making your changes, repack the file using eazip: eazip -c datafile.txt

Lou Gehrig? Do you mean Joe Dimaggio? Joltin' Joe has the record for longest consecutive game hit streak (56 games). Until Cal Ripken passed him, Lou Gehrig had the record for most consecutive games played (2130 games).

I seem to recall that some people running Windows 7 have had to copy the explodeme.exe file to their Windows desktop and then run it from there. Try that and see if it helps.

Did you copy the original game files in the mvp13 folder before installing the mod? Also, did you put the explodeme.exe file in the mvp13 folder? If so, that might be your problem. Put the explodeme.exe file in another folder and THEN run it.

Silly question - Did you install the game from discs or did you download the game?

Mobile devices refer to smart phones or tablets.

Always search before posting questions. This was asked and answered numerous times last year.

Here's patch #2. It's the last one I installed and the only one I recommend that people install to use my Total Classics mods. mvp2005patch2.rar

Go back and read daflyboy's earlier comment. You don't have to extract anything from the .rar file. Start TiT and then point it to the .rar file you want to install and it does the rest.

If you don't like the roster, then don't use it, but please do not criticize someone else's work. That's not what we like to see around here. You are more than welcome to release your own rosters if you can do better.

Signing Scott Boras to be my agent turned out to be the best decision I ever made.....

You could recognize them as "Behind the Scenes" guys. This would be a category for those people who have made contributions that weren't released on their own, but which serve as a foundation or an integral part of many other mods. AlexTony and Tony3 fit that bill on the audio and portrait side, Yanks763 on the logo / portrait / loading screen side, etc.

Here are the ones he told me about: Umachine's 2005 Orioles uniforms: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1662 Moser316's 2005 Orioles uniforms: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1849 I verified that when you click the download link, you see a message stating that the file can't be found. I noticed the same issue with a number of other UMachine uniforms. Given that these files are almost 9 years old and Trues switched servers one or two times, it's not surprising that some files might have gotten lost or missed during the move.

Not unless I got the source code and the instructions on how to build it. That application was a graphical Windows application, where as the bat selector is a just a simple DOS-based batch file that can be edited with a text editor.

I did a little Googling and there is a way to get the choice.com utility to work in Windows 7. The bat selector .bat file would need to be tweaked a bit in order to get it to work.

The .bat file calls choice.com to get the user input. I too haven't used this in years and I uploaded it from my Windows XP PC, which is where I probably ran it in the past.

I believe that this I got the bat from Spitoon's bat selector utility. I noticed the download link was broken, so I just uploaded the version I had on my hard drive. You can find the utility here: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1147
