jersey installer v1.1 released!

by **YUGO** on Tue Apr 01, 2003 12:13 am

I'm having problems with the program because it's not working I don't know why, I did everything you said in the readme file step by step and when i click go it says INVALID DIRECTORY ???

what's the problem ?

Ok, I'll try to help you, although i haven't had this problem...

This is for if you are running version 1.1...

First of all, make sure the program is stored in the correct directory. If you are running windows98 this would be c:\my documents\nba live 2003

Once the program is in there open it up. If you type something in the "save slot" box, this is the number of your save slot. For example, if you want it in slot 001 then you would simply type 001 in the box. (yes you need the zeroes on the front.) If you want to do all the save slots at once (with a few restrictions detailed in the readme) just leave the box blank. THIS REQUIRES YOU TO HAVE 000 AS A SAVE SLOT. without this save slot uesd, the program will return invalid directory.

If this doesnt help then I'm not sure.

***If it continues to not work then you will need to tell me all the details, ie where it is stored, what save slot etc.***

Well my question was answered before I got here, I was running it from my 'nba live downloads' in my doucments. *whoops* :oops:

LOL colin...

I'm just glad to hear there's so many people running my program!

Ya so anyways I'm still working on v1.2, with patcher automation. That way y'all can release jersey patches and have them install without the user doing anything (except maybe copying the files into xteam).

Then I will hopefully commence work on some new programs

You know what's funny though? I'm making these progs for Live, but i havent actually played it in a while! :lol:

That's great to hear... you know what'd be useful... a players.dbf editor... that can be executed with a simple command line in a batch file... something like the blotch program, since it hasn't been a version released for Live2003. To edit the accessory fields with it, the ISCREATED fields to FALSE and such... if you find time to do it that is. :wink:

Ya 9mm, if you scroll up in this thread you'll see we were talking about such a program...

I was actually planning on using the same kind of windows interface as the jersey installer... i hate dos stuff...

Well, I can tell you the dos stuff makes the installations simple and quick... just running one file, automatizing the whole installation of a new patch, instead of messing with opening nice looking programs in windows interface and doing it all manually (which in the end would be more or less the same as editing the .dbf files with a dbf editor).

But each to their own I guess, any program is useful...

by **Cameron** on Wed Apr 02, 2003 12:43 pm

Yes I know exactly what you're talking about... which is why I'm going to make a windows program that supports automation... :lol:

Let me elaborate.
Check this out: I'm going to act you out a play that will be happening in the near future. It stars 2 characters name Larry and Charles. Charles wants to download a retro patch for the Sixers. Larry made the patch and wants newbie Charles to be able to install it without hassle.

Charles: Ahh, I've downloaded the patch, lets read the readme.
Larry : Just extract phcl03 and phcl03_num to render/xteam... now extract philretro.jer into my documents/nba live 2003 (where you have Qweet's jersey installer). Now, open philretro.jer, and choose open with jersey installer.exe (or just drag philretro.jer on top of the jersey installer.exe icon in my documents).
Charles: Wow, a message box that says : Jersey Installed Succesfully!
Now I go into the game, and there is the jersey! Great!

Hope this makes sense. The philretro.jer file would look like this (minus the start of file and end of file part):

//start of file

26
cl02
2002-03
3
1
1
0
0
0
//end of file

See, all the stuff that the user stores in the textboxes is stored in this file instead! And then jersey installer loads it all in, installs the jersey, and closes, without the user doing really anything. The blank line at the top is for a save slot, if you want one specific.

This is the same type of method I would use for a blotch program as well.

by **Cameron** on Wed Apr 02, 2003 12:46 pm

BTW I may also add a few lines at the top of the file that have the names of the fsh files, and then the program could automatically move them... so in essence it would be almost the same as a batch file, but easier I'd say...

stripes on the new version qweet :cool:

by **Colin** on Sat Apr 05, 2003 6:08 am

I've noticed your installer doesn't install into the original database, which would be a huge improvement. It would be great if you could find a way to fix that.

by **Cameron** on Sat Apr 05, 2003 8:48 am

You want to install to the original roster??
The last time i did it screwed up my game and it was ticking me off. :evil:

I can't really see the point.

by **Colin** on Sat Apr 05, 2003 10:26 am

That if you want to start a new franchise with brand new stuff you wouldn't have to add the jerseys all over again.

by **Cameron** on Sat Apr 05, 2003 11:21 am

Ummm.. could'nt you just copy teamgear.dbf from another folder??

I don't mean to be grouchy or am dismissing your idea...
but I'm a little ticked off because I can't get version 1.2 to work the way I want

So after I finish :lol:

v1.2 then come back to me with this request...
