v1.05 released...

[Andrew]

Sorry, it's against Forum rules to ask for serial codes. You don't need one anyway, DB Commander remains functional after the trial period except for some of the more advanced features which you don't need for basic editing.

So could it be all possible to add all these custom teams to v1.06? However if v1.06 is at near completion and almost ready to be released,

then that's alright, and I'll hope you'll add them for v1.07. Anyways, if you can do this, then thank you in advance.

[Andrew]

I don't have any plans to add these teams to the rosters, though v1.06 probably won't be coming out until after the Draft. If I had some appropriate art for those teams I might consider it but I can't promise anything.

[FREDtheBeerMan]

I'm thinking why won't you use artwork from existing teams (just like you used the current team USA artwork for the Dream Teams)? I can suggest that you can use the team adidas artwork if you like. What do you think?

[Andrew]

I'd prefer not to, as none of the existing art is particularly appropriate. The current Team USA art isn't 100% accurate for Dream Team I and III but in the absence of accurate jerseys it's close enough.

[Angelo]

I hope in your next release sir you can fix the socks of the teams like black socks for away teams and etc.. like the rosters that the SUM members did

[Andrew]

It's one of those things that keeps slipping my mind.

[don q]

no games today, but got some chillin time, so i grab the barely played, then chk to find a playoff roster and see the 4.20

[mouse]

Andrei Bargnani is only 6'6 on the Italian National Team is there anyway to fix his height?

[Andrew]

Sure, you can edit that in appearance.dbf. I must have overlooked that when I was adding him to Italy's roster, I've gone ahead and fixed it while I think about it. Thanks for the heads up.

If you'd like to fix it yourself in the meantime, open appearance.dbf and search under the APPEARID column for 3185 (or just scroll to the bottom of the database and locate the row with 3185 as the APPEARID). Change HEIGHT to 84 and WEIGHT to 250.

[dansensei]

the new version is really great!!!
the only problem is that some players like the rookies have mask, but nonetheless its fine...

[Andrew]

That should only happen if the faces are not installed properly. Check out Faces Troubleshooting.txt for more info on how to fix that.

[dansensei]

OK... Thanks for the reply

[papa jack]

[m.gaRz]

andrew, in my dynasty, sonics' coach doesn't have CF and some players too like c.watson.. i installed my game on C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\NBA LIVE 08.. how can this happen man?

[Andrew]

It means the art wasn't installed properly. Check Faces Troubleshooting.txt.

[m.gaRz]

the problem's solve sir Andrew.. my pc was on deep freeze state when i installed 1.05.. thanks for the reply..

[Andrew]

No problem, glad to hear it's working now.

[seann_kyle]

sir andrew, how would i know if the APPEARID is the ID of the player that i'm really looking for?

Thanks!

[Andrew]

It will match their PLAYERID in players.dbf.
