CutterTML Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Trying to get mods to install onto the C drive so that i can install several mods for MVP 2005 for PCThe game works on my computer BUT every time i try to install a mod (and i followed the instructions from the Word doucment) I have no clue the simple step by step that should be taken I look at the WOrd document and think im doing it right BUT when i try to extract to a certain folder for the install process it wont install any files1. Does it make a difference if I have Windows 7 or do I have to have Windows XP????2. Theres a NEWER version of WinZip that may make things confusing on Extracting and such..... is there a way to get around it if thats the case???? I have no answers and many questions, help is sooooooooo appreciated!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 What mod(s) are you trying to install? Are you trying to have multiple installations of the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim825 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim825 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CutterTML Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Yankee, Jim or anyone else, can you answer my previous question? I downloaded all 5 patches but dont know where to install them to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 if you run the patch ( you only need to run the latest of which ever one you want to use. so if you want 5, just install 5.. you want 4, install 4.. no need for sequence).... anyways, if you run the patch from the exe, it should ask you what folder the game is in i thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install up to patch 2 in the main MVP directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, the site has been up and down over the last day, so that is why you didn't get an answer sooner. 1) Got the file with the patches, found Patch 2, tried to do the application from the zip folder but it says "old file not found, however a file of the same name was found, not updated" Was I supposed to extract the .exe somehwere like my default MVP folder???2) I undersatnd the installer instructions (BUT probably cannot do it until Patch2 is installed, or if I did it already somehow)3) That 2 consecutive posts was not deliberate, because 1) I just wanted an answer to my problem as I wasnt sure what to do and 2) I am impatient at times cause I wanted to fix this problem get it over with AND then I can go from here and do every other mod possible. I do realize that the site was down thus why there was a delayed answerHopefully point 3 doesnt prevent me from receiving the proper answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
