DaveCenker Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I haven't found a manual on how to edit the datafile and I am amazed at the modifications that people have been able to make without one. Here is a link to an excel spreadsheet that I found in the MVP2004 downloads section detailing some of the datafile.txt elements. http://www.mvpmods.com/modules.php?name=Do...sheet#dldetails I appreciate all the work that has been done by Kumala in editing the datafiles. However, I have found it near impossible to make any modifications (or include his specific changes into other datafiles) because there was no documentation on what was changed specifically. Given the size of the datafile.txt file and its complexity, this is obviously not a file that can be compared line by line. I don't want to give the impression that I am unhappy (because I am not), but I think in the future it would be very helpful if modders were able to detail the specific changes that have been made to the datafile so run of the mill guys like myself can take several different datafile versions and pull the elements out of each that we find useful to our gaming experience. I know some people have already done this and it is greatly appreciated, but it would be really nice if this became an unwritten guideline to follow. Just my 0.02 ...

capa Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 so what values r u using now? and 42 is opposite field power, right? thanks for the info! I am still playing with the numbers to be honest. And yes, 42 is Outside Power. Currently I have: 40: Inside Power: 0.80 41: Sweetspot: 1.00 42: Outside Power: 0.70 Alot depends on what roster file you are using as well...and sliders. That's what makes it impossible to find a perfect setting. We all use dofferent rosters, sliders, and also have different opinions on what is 'realistic" and what isn't. All we can do is find a comfort level for ourselves. I am still trying... C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But homers just seem hard to come by unless your the computer or the game is simmed. Is upping the power that much effecting your small ball hitting?

wikitundra Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Kumala: Great datafile!!! I am getting very realistic results and I am thoroughly enjoying the game again. I am noticing that I am getting a lot of beaned batters now. Where should I begin to edit to curb this? Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayoftheBraves Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Thanks DaveCenker! This reminds me of another thing HH had that was superior to MVP and that was a tune file that was easily accessible and easy to edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayoftheBraves Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I've been looking through the spreadsheet, but I can't find the functions that allows me to edit cameras. Which is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCenker Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Check out this thread dealing with camera mods and how to modify them inside the datafile: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?name=Foru...camera+tutorial Geez, I can't believe I'm helping a rival in my division ... ha ha ... just kidding Hope this helps you out ...

WayoftheBraves Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Thanks for your help everyone! I was able to adjust the batting cameras to exactly how I want them. Now the fielding... Kumala, you've got a great datafile, but is there any chance you'll be able to improve fielding a bit more? There is still one too many errors and I'm sick of watching the first baseman become Spiderman just to recieve a simple throw. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumala Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 I have another datafile that does not have too many errors, its a combo of jimcombo with ksm's batting cam and fielding cams and my ball physics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayoftheBraves Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Can you go over what exactly is in your datafile that you released back on May 7? Besides the cameras, I can't really tell what has changed. Can u send me the datafile? I'd really appreciate that. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumala Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 I edited the values for the ball physics a little more and basically thats it. The one I have now has changes to pull power and opposite field power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayoftheBraves Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Sorry to bother u a little more, but can you explain what your aim was regarding physics? In other words, how does the ball act now? Does it go streaking down the lines when a batter pulls it, like in real-life, etc.? Thanks again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumala Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 if you hit it good it does, but I adjusted those balls that just rocketed to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcer1 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 ATTENTION EVERYONE!!! The adjustments for the power are controlled overall in the BatterAI line. 31 BallSpeedMaxMod_BatterPower & 30 BallSpeedMinMod_BatterPower on the BatterAI line. The original was set at .85 on Min and 1.25 on Max. Final is set at .75 and 1.15. We have been experimenting and changes on these values have dramatic effect on power. We are currently using .81 and 1.21. It is giving us the most realistic feel at this point. From here we will adjust the inside and outside to get it as perfect as possible. We have inside set at .6 and outside power at 1.00. Try those out!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwert Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 The last part of your message in which you refered to the inside/outside #s.. those are from the 2nd line of the datafile under the section <batter> right? thanks for the tip mcer. And kumala.. thanks for sending me the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcer1 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 2nd line 40 & 42. BatterAI is farther down. Do a find for BatterAI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
