v1.02 (fix) released...

[isn@yper]

Hi Andrew,

Great job on the new roster patch though have a little problem, i just started a new dynasty with the sixers using your patch and currently 5-0, just played dallas the and saw its coach with pink head? how can i fix this? also the sixers gears (i.e. iverson sleeves, socks, head and arm bands) are on away mode when i'm playing home games, its kinda annoying seeing iverson wearing home uniform with black sleeves, headband and socks, can you help me fix this, the away gear is correct execpt for the home gears.


tnx.

CHANGELOG6. Reconciling the IDs in players.dbf and appearance.dbf is simple, especially if you're using DB Commander or another DBF editor that allows you to work on two files simultaneously. Simply open up players.dbf and appearance.dbf, scroll to the bottom and make sure the very last entries in each database are lined up. Then it's simply a matter of changing the IDs in appearance.dbf to the ones on the corresponding row in players.dbf.

sorry, but i don't get this point
damn

can anybody give me some instructions about what to change

Basically you just need to change the IDs in appearance.dbf to match those in players.dbf. The easiest way to make sure you're changing the right player is to line up both databases at the bottom or with the IDs I've already changed (eg Smush Parker 1073).

Not sure what's going on there, I haven't changed anything with Avery Johnson.

nice rosters andrew. one question though. did you intentionally remove iguodala's outside stopper ability?

[Andrew]

Not intentionally but I'm going through and reviewing those changes again as I've inadvertently disabled some FSS abilities through slight adjustments that can be undone without causing any problems. I did however reduce his block rating as I don't believe he warrants an 80.

[rEdHoBBeS]

oh okay. do you know if there's a way to enable the FSS ability without him having the required attribute points?

[Andrew]

Sure can. If you open up the original players.dbf file you can note the SUPERSTAR and VALIDSUPERSTAR values and then edit the latest roster (or a Dynasty in progress) accordingly to modify their FSS abilities. Be sure to make a backup in case anything goes wrong.

[rEdHoBBeS]

okay thanks. i just went through and figured out which FSS abilities made sense for those players whose abilities were removed bc of the various rating changes. these are what i changed them to. the first number is the SUPERSTAR; the second is the VALIDSTAR. hopefully these come in handy.

hm, ok i think i got the right IDs now, thank you andrew
was it about 10-20 ID changes ?

[Cable]

Andrew, do you have Jason Collier on team 38 in the roster? The first game I played in 06, I hit a buzzer-beater and low and behold Mr. Collier was once again the ref, same as 05. I think you need to change that

Probably about that.

The reason he's on team 38 is that it's the easiest method of removing him from the roster without messing everything up.

[Cable]

I thought there was a team for retired players as well as the referees, I remember someone posted about it. I'll see if I can find it.

[Andrew]

There is indeed, 32. Looks like that's easy enough to correct, guess I've just been using 38 out of habit. Easily fixed of course.

[Cable]

Ahh. I thought so. Yeah, it getting annoying seeing Collier as the ref

I'm kidding, of course, maybe.

[Andrew]

Well as I said, easily fixed so I might as well change my methods.

[copprhead316]

Anyone know how I can get Vlade Divac off the internaitonal roster and back on the lakers without having to recreate him. I mean I can easily create him but the anouncer wont say his name. Hes just known as number 12. Im kind of new to this so just call me stupid LOL.

[Andrew]

Please don't post the same thing twice, you've already asked this is another topic. This thread is for suggestions, corrections and bug reports related to the latest release. Thanks.

can u fix this please?! thx
and set his block rating too 38

Little "suggestion", could you change the abbreviations of Phoenix ? TNT now shows the "PHX" one instead of the old "PHO" one. (And maybe the Eastern and Western All-Stars to "EAST" and "WEST".) And also, the All-Star court should be renamed the Toyota Center I think. Just a little request, can you add the "TP" nickname for Tony Parker ? I could do it myself, but it's up to you. Oh and also, for Horry, maybe you could add "Big Shot Rob"... Thanks for your time on the rosters Andrew !

[Cable]

Andrew, Charlie Villaneuva's 3's need to be higher. He's shooting .305 on the season, better then Kobe, NVE and only .004 less then Quentin Richardson.

EDIT: I looked at his ratings, both FG and 3FG need to be higher, probably somwhere between 60-75. Personally, I put FG at 77 and 3FG at 65, but that's just my opinion.

EDIT2: The Pacers accesory colours need changing in the teamgear.dbf, too, the blue isn't saturated enough. I suggest you change AUTOCOLOR to 399428 for the c04h line; and AUTOCOLOR to 14920448, AUTOCOLOR3 to 399428 for the c04a line.

EDIT3: There's what I mean.

At the time of release he wasn't starting. Please note the release date before posting any corrections regarding transactions or lineups.

Thanks for the latest.

[Mentally Hilarious]

Brian "How the hell did I get a contract" Scalabrine is utterly useless. Something the update doesn't really reflect. He really should be toned down in many areas, aspecially shooting, passning and rebounding.

[Andrew]

Noted.

[Andrew]

I've been working on correcting the FSS abilities today. I might have an update out sometime this week, possibly within the next few days. I haven't decided yet. It will be a fix plus a small update which means more than a couple of changes, hence no changelog. But if you want to fix the FSS affected players in your Dynasty, it'll just be a matter of editing players.dbf and copying the ratings, SUPERSTAR and VALIDSSTAR values over from the roster update.
