GoChiefs Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 OK, so I want to edit Kenny Rogers so he's not a fatass, and give him a goatee like he has in real life. However, you can't do this with the roster editor. So I download MVP Edit and edit attrib.dat, replace the old one, so it should show up in the game, right? WRONG! So I don't know what I'm doing wrong....can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamasutra Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 here's a reply... 1. is this a dynasty? if you started a dynasty, changes to the rosters won't show up in it. 2. in mvpedit...click the player, go to appearance tab. select his bone profile to change his physical appearance select "goatee" under facial hair 3. MAKE SURE TO EXPORT the data files = file/export dat files to your mvp data directory 4. load up game, go to rosters/edit player... go look at your new player.

mflv Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I'm pretty sure you can still edit players in Dynasty as long as you do it Dynasty Mode. Open your dynaster, go to Player Management or whatever it's called, go to rosters, hit Edit Player. Then save the Dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open your dynaster, go to Player Management or whatever it's called, go to rosters, hit Edit Player. Then save the Dynasty. If you double-check, when u use moded rosters, even sometimes the default ones, in dynasty, the standard players physical attributes are blacked out (uneditable). And you can't add a picture to a created player either through that screen. Overall dynasty mode is very limited for player editing. Mvpedit is strongly recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoChiefs Posted April 22, 2004 Author Share Posted April 22, 2004 So basically I can't edit appearances once a dynasty has started? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I did, and I just did it again...nada. 1. Opened MVPedit 2. Opened attrib.dat 3. Went to Kenny Rogers, changed body type to average, hair to full goatee. 4. Imported DAT and overwrote old attrib.dat. 5. Loaded game, went into rosters, went to the edt Kenny Rogers screen...still fat and hairless. :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamasutra Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 sounds almost right... first off, when you open mvpedit First first thing you do is IMPORT the data from your mvp2004/data directory. and it will ask you to save an mbe, choose a save location and save as test.mbe for example. now go to your player, edit him as said above.. then at the end choose file/export dat files EXPORT ALL THE DAT files through mvpedit, not just attrib. export them directly to your mvp2004 data directory, don't just copy them, export them. then do as you said, go to roster management etc..etc.. you should see your mods. It worked for me countless times when doing the portrait pack. the key is when you export, you have to export through mvpedit all the dat files, not just a few, and make sure you export to mvp2004 directory (it will say overwrite?, say yes) done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamasutra Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 So basically I can't edit appearances once a dynasty has started? as far as this, most of the times no. Although sometimes it will let you edit appearances for created players.. someone will eventualy crack dynasty mode, have faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackcasper49 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 likely you can't change the facial apperance of rogers because he has a face in the game ... you should however be able to change his body apperance, try chaging him to slim and small in the editor ... follow all the steps like Kama has stated and it should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamasutra Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 no, just once, you EXPORT dat (which exports all dat files to data directory). You do that after editing your player in mvpedit: file/export dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
