This mod contains one combo datafile. The file "datafile.txt" contains the following modifications: - Trues batting camera #4 - Trues change to remove batter walkup music - Pareds Behind the Pitcher camera #6 - Spitoons walk fix (which reduces the size of the "sweet spot" in the pitching meter) - Trues changes to remove foul ball replays - Spitoons changes to move the outfielders back - abhalls HH low batting view camera #5 - Spitoons changes to move the infielders in - SeralMikes Walk and Strikeout Fix Changes from combo datafile mod v2.0 --------------------------------------------- In this version of the mod, I have added SerialMikes Walk and Strikeout fix to provide the proper balance of walks and strikeouts. Mike recommends setting the User Pitch Meter Difficulty Slider to 0. If you find the pitching too easy, you can make the slider more negative. If you find the pitching too dificult, you can make the slider more positive. Note that while my previous combo mod contained two datafiles (one with Spitoons Walk fix and one without), this version only includes one file. The reason for this is that SerialMike stated that his Walk and Strikeout fix only really functions properly if Spitoons Walk fix is included. Installation: ------------- To install the datafile, extract it to your MVP2005 Baseballdata folder. The specific changes are listed in the readme file

Here is a mod that should increase the enjoyment for those using Total Classics. Using MVPEdit, I have added portraits for all of the classic teams in phase 2 of the Total Classics project. This mod consists of two parts: 1. A portrait.big file that contains portraits for all teams in Total Classics Phase 2 2. A set of rosters with unique portrait IDs assigned to each player (if a portrait exists). In addition, the proper won-loss record for each classic team is now displayed when a game is started. Changes from v1.0 ----------------- It was pointed out to me that in v1.0, the following 4 players on the MVP Heroes team were missing portraits: Juan Marichal (ID #2145) Willie McCovey (ID #2147) Gaylord Perry (ID #2150) Willie Stargell (ID #2161) Portraits for these players have been added in Total Classic Portraits v1.1 Note that only the portrait.big file has been updated in this release. The roster files are the same as they were in the v1.0 release.
