He's been warned that we don't discuss or support illegally obtained copies of the game. If he makes another post like the first, it will be his last one on this site!

That's the only site I know of that had High Heat files.

Which links?

You would change the same values. Value 4 is the league value for all teams and value 5 is the division value for all teams. I just listed the major league values in my previous post. If you look at the entries for each team in the team.dat file, you will see that the league values range from 0 - 9 and the division values range from 0 - 24. I'm not sure of the exact mappings of the minor league teams since I've only dealt with major league teams, but it wouldn't be hard to map them out. Also, if you don't want a team to show up at all, you would set value 4 to 10 and value 5 to 25. That's the way that we "hid" teams in the Total Classics mods. There are 4 teams at the end of the team.dat file setup that way.

Unfortunately, no. It's hard coded in the game to have 8 teams. I found this out when I worked on some of the "older" Total Classics mods (TC1978, TC1956, etc.) which simulate years before there were three divisions and wildcard teams.

Moving teams around is easy. You just have to edit the team.dat roster file in the datadatabase folder. This file is a text file, so any text editor (Notepad, etc) will work. When you open up the file, look for Houston's entry. It will look like this: 00b87f3f1,0 Hou,1 Houston,2 Astros,3 HOU,4 1,5 4,6 22,7 0,8 1,9 0,10 0,11 0,12 1,13 0,14 0,15 0,16 0,17 0,18 0,19 0,20 1,21 0,22 0,23 0,24 0,25 0,26 0,27 0,28 2,29 2,30 0,31 2,32 2,33 2,34 1,35 0,36 0,37 1,38 0,39 0,40 0,41 2,42 1,43 2,44 2,45 1,46 1,47 2,48 2,49 1,50 2,51 1,52 2,53 1,54 0,; What you care about is value 4 (currently 1) and value 5 (currently 4) highlighted in red above. Value 4 is the team league and value 5 is the team division. For major league teams, value 4 can be set as follows: 0 = American League 1 = National League For major league teams, value 5 can be set as follows: 0 = AL West 1 = AL Central 2 = AL East 3 = NL West 4 = NL Central 5 = NL East As you can see, Houston is setup to be in the NL Central. To move them to the AL West, you would set value 4 to 0 (AL) and value 5 to 0 (AL West). The file entry would then look as follows: 00b87f3f1,0 Hou,1 Houston,2 Astros,3 HOU,4 0,5 0,6 22,7 0,8 1,9 0,10 0,11 0,12 1,13 0,14 0,15 0,16 0,17 0,18 0,19 0,20 1,21 0,22 0,23 0,24 0,25 0,26 0,27 0,28 2,29 2,30 0,31 2,32 2,33 2,34 1,35 0,36 0,37 1,38 0,39 0,40 0,41 2,42 1,43 2,44 2,45 1,46 1,47 2,48 2,49 1,50 2,51 1,52 2,53 1,54 0,; That's it! Editing the schedule would be a lot more work, unless you used the random schedule generator.

There is nothing you can do unless you you can get the original audio files back, either from the MVP discs or from a clean installation somewhere else on your hard drive. If you don't have either of these, you'll have to get used to the audio the way it is or turn off the announcers in the audio settings.

Happy Birthday!! :yahoo:

The 2008 mod did not require MVP2005 to be installed, however, it required you to have the discs and it installed the game from disc and then installed the mod on top of it for you. As Yankee4Life indicated, the 2012 mod requires the game to be installed first before you can install the mod on top of it.

You can't have more than 120 teams in the game. You can edit a team's settings in the team.dat file that is part of the rosters and move a minor league team to the major leagues. If you do that, however, you cannot play in dynasty mode unless you make major changes to the schedules in the game.

I just made another contribution. Who else is with me? :good:

It should be in your My Documents MVP Baseball 2005 folder. You can just copy it from one PC to another, assuming that the game is configured the exact same way on both PC's.

Everything you need has been discussed on this website numerous times over the years. Spend a little time searching on your own before asking for people to just tell you how to do something. That's how the rest of us started when we first tried modding. If everyone gave up as quickly as you seem to be doing, nothing would have ever been released on this website and this game would have died long ago.

This should provide you with everything you need: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&search_in=ccs

Whichever one you want to create will be fine. We'll let you choose. Just let us know when the new overlay is done.

It was actually extremely simple to find the patches. I found them with 3 mouse clicks: 1. Click "Downloads" at the top of the main screen 2. On the Download page, click "MVP Baseball 2005" (1st entry under "Categories on the left of the screen) 3. Scroll down and click "Total Conversion Mods" on the left side Voila! The following page comes up: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?app=downloads&showcat=42 3 mouse clicks. It doesn't get much easier than that!

For fans of many teams, it is..... ;)

I believe the MVP Caribe guys made one for the last World Baseball Classic. If anyone will make one, it will probably be those guys.

Those stadiums only appear in the Total Classics mods. You won't find them in the MVP2012 mod.

I just saw the pictures on Facebook. Congratulations!!

You've got quite an attitude, don't you. Here's a word of advice -- work on your people skills. Your last few posts don't exactly inspire me (or anyone else for that matter) to want to help you. Where is it written that it's MY responsibility to pry information out of you? Here's a question for you: Why did you ask such a vague quesition to begin with? I don't know what your problem is (or at least what the problem is with your game), nor do I really care at this point.

I should have pointed out that the "designed for the PC" controller is the one I am using.

I'm using an XBox 360 wired controller to play the game, however, I'm running it on Windows XP.

There's plenty to say. Since none of us is sitting in front of your PC and don't know what you've done since the last time the game ran OK, we can't say why it no longer works for you. It's the same as if you told us that your car ran fine yesterday but today it doesn't start. What OS are you running? Have you installed any hardware or software on the PC since the last time you played MVP without a crash? How long ago was it that the game actually worked for you? How much free hard drive space do you have? When was the last time you used your MVP CD's? Could disc 2 (which is required to play the game) have gotten scratched? Something must have changed on the PC (software / hardware) or to the game discs for the game to no longer work. It's just a matter of figuring out what changed, and you're the only one who can do that.

Unfortunately, it's hard to diagnose a problem with just "it used to work and now it crashes."
