This was not necessarily an oversight. Very few of the Total Conversion mods actually contain the mvp2005.exe file, since they only change the auxiliary game files (models, uniforms, rosters, audios, etc.) but not the actual game executable itself. It was only the mods that Kraw created (e.g. MVP2008) and those based upon MVP2008 (MVP12, MVP13) that included the mvp2005.exe file. Kraw re-engineered the file somehow, and that's why, for example, your personal files (saved dynasty, controller config, etc.) go into a separate My DocumentsEAMods folder rather than the normal My DocumentsMVP Baseball 2005 folder. Other than this one item, I agree with everything else you stated in your critique.

Did you insert CD #2 before you started the game or do you have a downloaded copy of MVP2005?

Search the forums for topics on how to have multiple installs of the game.

The Search function is your friend. Searches for "Hough" and "Heath" quickly produced the following results: TC1988 and Charlie Hough: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?showtopic=51071&hl=hough TC1988 and Mike Heath: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?showtopic=35912&hl=heath The problem is that both players are assigned faces that are missing from the models.big file. Both of the above posts include new faces that can be installed in the TC1988 models.big. Alternatively, you could edit the rosters with MVPEdit and assign them generic face IDs (in the range 901 - 915).

I think it's the particular picture that was put on the cover that got people upset more than the story itself. If they had used a picture of him being led away in handcuffs after his capture, bloodied and disheveled, rather than the clean cut "boy next door" image, people would not have been as outraged. It's been 3 months since the bombing, but it's still fresh in a lot of people's minds here. How would you have felt if Rolling Stone did an article in early December 2001, with the smiling, "normal", faces of the 9/11 hijackers on the cover?

You won't find different pitch meters in the overlays. You want to look at the datafiles. Here's a combo datafile that I put together that contains a number of different tweaks, including a pitch meter with a smaller sweet spot. It makes pitching a bit more challenging. http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=4574

We got a 3D printer at work recently. One of the Mechanical Engineers has been using it to create sample parts for our products. These parts are then sent off to a company that will create plastic injection molds and then create the final parts for us. It will only take a few of these parts to pay back what it cost the company for the printer because it saves the company from having the Mechanical Engineer create part details on an AutoCad system and then send them to a different company to create the part template.

You realize that you were responding to a thread that was 7-1/2 years old, right?

Portraits need to be 128 x 128 pixels.

My daughters informed me years ago that the piece of plastic is called a "gauge". People who get this type of piercing in their ear start with a small gauge and as the earlobe stretches, they add larger and larger gauges to make the hole larger. I've seen people with holes the size of my wedding band in their ear. They even make decorative jewelry that are solid discs that can be put in the holes. This is not something that I am attracted to, but hey, to each, their own.....

You own a single copy of the game. That doesn't mean that you can go out and get another version without paying for it. It's no different than anything else you own.

Are you saying that you DID or DID NOT find missing faces? Did you check all of the minor league players as well? Another thing to check is to make sure that all the batting orders and pitching rotations are set OK. From the main MVPEdit menu, select Tools->Check Errors to see if MVPEdit finds any errors with your roster.

It doesn't matter when you are running simulations or playing actual games. If a face file is missing from the models.big, the game will crash. If you open your roster in MVPEdit, turn on the option to display faces and then go through every player on every team, looking at the face listed on the "Appearance" tab, you fill find which ones are missing faces. Be aware that if a player has a default face ID (#901 - 915), a face will not show up in MVPEdit. This is normal behavior. Any other face ID should show a face on the "Appearance" tab.

When injuries occur, players are called up from the minor leagues or players are signed from the free agent pool. It's possible that one of your players is getting injured and the player that replaces him is assigned a face that does not exist in the models.big file. That would definitely cause a crash to occur.

Search the forums for topics on how to edit the controller button mapping. This mapping is in the controller.cfg file in the My DocumentsMVP Baseball 2005 folder.

This is from the site rules: The no-CD crack was discussed in the past and each time, we've indicated that we do not provide support for any method that tries to get by copyright protection.

Not that I'm aware of, but have you tried the Search feature in the forums? Search for "macbook". You might have to use the Mac application (I can't recall the name of it) that allows you to run Windows applications on a Mac.

It was ar_key's rosters that we fixed last year by reducing the free agent pool. Why it helped, I have no clue, but as soon as I cleaned up the list, the problem went away. Just remember that you shouldn't remove Shane Reynolds. For some reason, if you remove him, I believe that the mini-games crash.

How big is your free agent pool? I remember helping someone last year with a crashing issue and he had around 200 free agents. Once I reduced it to about 50, the crashing disappeared.

The fact that I only deal with the major league rosters and tell people to turn off injuries, trades and suspensions when playing dynasties has a lot to do with it. That way, the rosters never change. Also, cutting the size of the free agent pool down to about 50 players fixed some crashing issues.

Is this the crashing issue that happens on April 11th when running a dynasty? Kyle contacted me asking for help in solving the issue. I gave him some suggestions, but it sounds like you've solved the problem.

That explains it. I figured you just made a typo.......

Careful.... All 3 of my daughters currently work at McDonald's to help pay for college and my wife was an accountant for McDonald's when I met her.

Another satisfied customer.... :D

I knew that there could also be a potential problem with the #1 pitcher, but I couldn't think of the right way to express the issue, nor did I know the solution that you posted.
