Need some feedback here. This is the first cyberface I've made ever in any game (It's Ray Lankford if anyone cannot tell). Any comments are welcome B)

*Insert Schoolgirl Giggle*

Thanks for those Dylan. Finding Images for portraits has been fine (Getty Images have a lot of 1998 portraits that are perfect as I can use them in a 128x128 format with transparency), it's just the amount of time it takes to do all the alpha/main image ***** and adjusting uniforms of certain players. Philthepat was helping but I haven't heard or received anything from him. I've been spending the last two weeks re-doing the batters ratings and college assignments so I've had no time whatsoever working on portraits.

Man, I can't wait for your Batter Calculator, I've done it manually for two days and only have three teams done lol.

Sorted all the issues . Now, just gotta get rolling with the batting rating adjustments, finish portraits, sort out a few dodgy cyberfaces, insert the stadiums & loading screens, do a few logos, sort out unis, do a few menu images, CTS screens, and the mod should be done. Due to release in 2019! lol.

I thought that as well. I tried exporting the MLB teams to a clean .MBE and that seems to have made the trick. The conclusion I may have reached was either the original .mbe was fucked or the Generic Players created in the minor teams screwed it up.

Right, thought a possible error would be the Free Agents list (Full of 0 rated players dubbed Generic Player). Didn't cure all the original dynasty problems but it did sort out the team rankings and exposed that Atlanta & Anaheim have no scheduled games. Tried placing the original 2005 All Star teams to see if that was an issue...it wasn't. Feels like I'm going in circles here.

Aha, the return of an old issue, simmed a franchise (with much more accurate results) but once again, this has happened: "but I still had the NL & AL All Stars listed in the standings, as well as having the wrong team for the player listed in the stat leaders. I've uploaded it so you can help me out." God I hate roster editing at times...

I know . Just gotta sort out my Batting and Crashing Issues (Got all the cyberfaces together and got all the right ID's but that still the issue).

I've spent days using your calculator for pitching before realizing that it was my batters ratings that were broken lol. Stupid Me :\

No Problem. Just one thing I like to comment on, probably a suggestion so feel free to shoot it down because I would understand it probably be either near impossible or very time consuming, but as .mbe files can be accessed using Microsoft Access, could it be say if it would be possible to link up the results outputted from your calculator directly into the roster files. Obviously if there was access to MVPedit's source files then I would suppose that would have been done already, but just because that isn't available probably wouldn't mean all avenues were unavailable. I'm kinda just thinking out loud and I know some of that is not easy to understand (vocab & typing ability seems to evaporate when it's 1am lol), but it's just an idea that struck me.

I outputted the inputPitching file that you sent and it produced some interesting results. Some players had minus ratings on their movement on pitches and I noticed that all had the same movement. No biggie, but thought I'd let you know.

Yeah it's just the generating input thing that messed up so you doing that has saved me valuable time as I'm entering college in a weeks time .

Oh my god you sir are a legend. A million thanks Dylan :give_rose:

Hey Pat, not sure how much of the Red Sox portraits you've done, but I'm working on the Cubs ones now. Just letting you know.

That would be perfect. I've created my own Action Set to do the 128x128 portraits because the only source for headshots is gettyimages and their images aren't of a high res, especially for pics taken 10 years ago lol. I'll let you decide what teams you want to do and how much you want to do. Any help is a massive help B)

I'm not dead, and nor is the mod. Getting some cosmetic stuff done at the moment (Loading Screens, Menu Screens, 750 Portraits!!!). Would rather be getting on with doing a re-rate of the roster and sorting out faces but I'm only human :)

Well you lot are right about that, as fitting with my luck, the laptop that I was using to make this mod and test it on has bricked. Luckily I backed up all my mod work so that luckily is a problem but as far as testing it out seems dead in the water until I can get funds for a new graphics card in this computer. (I guess it's not too bad but not fun if the game struggles to make it to 20fps). God I'm getting sick of making counter-productive update but I thought it would be best just to let everyone know that it's not dead!

Just a small update just to let everyone who's interested (Which I'm guessing it's about half dozen lol). This is still in the works but I haven't been posting regular updates as I'm still doing the painful job of portraits whilst dealing with the computer crashing constantly lol. I'd love to set a target release date but I'm not close to doing that.

I'm not attacking the reasons for charging, I'm peeved for two reasons - I defended the site when TheSpungo started charging for a mod to the skin of my teeth, then less than a month later the site is doing the same thing (Different intentions yes, but from an outside viewpoint it's the same). It makes me feel like a hypocrite and has left me with a real sour taste in my mouth. - I'm not classified as a modder because I haven't submitted a mod in time, despite working my tits off for the past four months trying to create a mod which will benefit this site when it is complete. Certain members who have submitted one CTS generated from a ready made template get this designation and thus get access to all tools (Which is all I really care about in the downloads section TBH).

I kind of feel like a hypocrite for slagging off EAMods now. Also, I'm working on a pretty large scale mod and basically I cannot download certain tools because before this move I haven't submitted a file to the downloads section. I'm kinda peeved, but mostly because I flipped off at EAMods for doing a similar thing.

Right, I'm back on with the production of this (Currently 39/750 on the most painful part of the mod...Portraits) . Thank god for early summer holidays .

Beautiful. Could you by any chance upload a screenie of the schedule in dynasty and highlight one of the games please. I just want to be sure before I go and celebrate ;)

Thanks, that's brilliant news. And there's no issues at all in Dynasty with the team names and that? If so, that's awesome.
