Kamasutra Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I intend on adding the ability to take any version (PC/PS2/XBox) of .sav fileand create PC compatible dat files from them. another great idea there... might be simpler to just add that capabality rather than making it ps2 & xbox compatible or modifying the source code. Hope people are true to their word and do support you a bit financially, this is well deserved just for your progression in such a short amount of time.. lord knows it hasn't worked for me, but I'm sure it will for you :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wikitundra Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 have you found a way to print boxscores? that would be another awesome feature... thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichK Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 Unfortunately, no box scores... those are not stored in any of the dynasty files. I have linescores for every game, but that's about it. I'll have a preview of the team pages coming sometime today. I really like how it's looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichK Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 Can you print career statistics for players with this? Yes, granted that they are in the save file that you are using to generate the pages.

RichK Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 Here's a WIP view of the Cardinals' team page.... http://www.geocities.com/mvpsavreader/Rosters/0B882338.html P.S. - There's a Braves page there too... the links to it should work. I'm going to take a break from page coding now and see if I can resolve some unfinished data in the .sav files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dim13 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 RichK - Just wondering what programming language are you using, Visual Basic ? VB.Net ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichK Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 RichK - Just wondering what programming language are you using, Visual Basic ? VB.Net ? It's actually Access 97 (VB) code right now. I'm going to convert it to VB.NET before I release it to the public though. Speaking of releasing... I am almost to the point where I am going to make my first beta build of the SavReader. I still need to do some coding and clean-up, and then convert it to .NET. I'd estimate maybe another week or two of work (don't hold me to that though )and you all can get your hands on this and give it a whirl. I fully envision this on being a "living" application. That is, constantly adding new features and abilities and gleaning every possible piece of data from the .sav file. There's still quite a bit that I don't have decoded yet.

dim13 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 RichK, I am an experienced VB programmer (learning VB.NET), I've also some experience programming in Access which is similiar to VB. The only thing I really do not know how to do is read the file format the .SAV files are in. I can read all other types of files in VB and Access with no problem. If you'd be willing to share the code you have so far, I'd be very interested. I'd really like to learn how to read the .SAV file and create some MVP utilities for now and for future versions, and for other sports games as well. I'd be willing to pay you for the source code you have so far. My email is surfmoney@aol.com Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvarr Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 RichK, One thing I was wondering...since you have apparently figured out how to read from the .sav file, is it possible that you may expand and be able to write to the .sav file, similar to MLBTinker's one for last year's game? Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 MLBTinker's didn't write to the .sav file. His read straight from the memory. It didn't mess with the save file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichK Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 RichK, One thing I was wondering...since you have apparently figured out how to read from the .sav file, is it possible that you may expand and be able to write to the .sav file, similar to MLBTinker's one for last year's game? Just wondering. At this point, it's very doubtful. The PS2 and X-Box .sav files are protected with a checksum that I've been unable to figure out the algorithm for. I can write out perfect .sav files all day, but without the checksum being correct, the consoles will report a corrupt save file and not load them in. Once I finish development, I may take another crack at the checksums, but it's almost like finding a needle in a haystack without knowing the initial seed value for the checksum. Just to let you all know where I'm at right now, here's my TO-DO list before the initial release: 1 ) Put navigation banner at top of all pages 2 ) Minor league stats fix in team leaders section 3 ) Team stats page 4 ) Franchise/Spring/Budget for teams 5 ) Postional Rankings 6 ) Emails 7 ) Transactions 8 ) X-Box 9 ) Convert to VB.NET and optimize code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateFan13 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 RichK... Thats awesome dude, I have been dying for someone to tackle this situation and would have been happy with a generic version, but man, that looks awesome PirateFan13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeMysterio Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 For PS2 and Xbox, it's highly unlikely you say... but how is it for the PC to edit the data? Sorry if you already mentioned that tho, I don't think I saw you say anything about the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc81190 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I don't know how this works, but if it can convert PC rosters to XBOX ones, I'll...well, it's too explicit. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
