paldragons Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 What tool do I need to use to open and edit datafiles ? Do I need another tool to recompress the file ? Where can I find these tools ? Or is there a general readme out there or tutorial I can find ? I looked in the tools download section nothing seemed very clear on what I needed to do this. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?name=Down...=details&id=164 If you look at MaddiesDaddy's thread you can find helpful info on what lines do what. Or if you download Jim825's datafile there's some helpful hints in the Readme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 kg, do you know what the default pitching meter line is set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 damnit, i dont have a datafile.txt. i have a datafile.big. what does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snepp Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 It probably means you're using the 06 mod and that you'll have to either extract the datafile.txt out of the .big, or you'll have to download a different datafile.txt to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 thanks snepp. how can i find the download? i dont see it on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snepp Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 There are numerous datafiles to choose from. Maddiedaddy's BigShmooz Kumala and others (If that's what you were asking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 yeah i just downloaded kumala's datafile because it is the default datafile without swing replay. i put it in, did everything i was supposed to. including where it said to remove the other datafile. so i did and place the kumala file in. but whenever i start up MVP, it freezes one third of the way in the load screen. i waited a while but i had to close it out with task manager. what's the problem?

snepp Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 You said you didn't have a datafile.txt, so there shouldn't have been anything for you to remove. You didn't delete the datafile.big did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 i didnt, i copied it to one of my briefcases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snepp Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 lol, put it back! The datafile.big contains alot more information than just the datafile.txt, that's why you're crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 oh my god, i cant find it...i think i deleted it!!! ****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snepp Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 You'll have to extract a copy out of the 06 mod then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 ok how do you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snepp Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I don't know if I want to help you, you are a Spankees fan afterall... What version of the 06 mod do you have? LL or ILF? If you have LL, you can open the file using WinRAR and browse to the location of the datafile.big, then extract it. If you have ILF I can't help you.

D-Unit Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 i have ILF. UGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! if i reinstall ILF, would i be able to reobtain the datafile.big file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snepp Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Yes. I didn't want to suggest it because it's a pain in the ****. Why don't I just upload my datafile.big and give you a link to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 you would do that? thank you so much!!!!!!! just for offering you are my hero snepp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snepp Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Damn straight I'm your hero! Anyway... http://sio.midco.net/mvpbaseball/datafile.rar And remember, in the future, no not delete files when working with mods. Either copy them someplace else, or rename them (I prefer renaming).

paldragons Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 I think u guys misunderstood... when I open the datafile.txt in notepad i get a buncha stuff that looks like this in file... 000001001010001001010000100101010010000000010101010010101 thousands of lines like that... what program do I need to be able to open the datafile.txt to be able to edit the data in a way that humans can read the information..? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 snepp, i put the datafile.big back in the proper folder. the game was running, but as the menu screen loaded up for a game, it froze. i had to restart it which explains the delayed response. i think im just gonna reinstall ILF, but thanks for all the effort and help.

xiberger Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Search the downloads section for a little tool named DFCompUtil. It really works wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
