MegaUpdatePatch (MUP09)

[sebastian_tate]

Fa'atau is there any way to use put back super 14 teams in this patch keeping the new top 14 teams that were in the original game?

Fa'atau says: You can't add teams, you can only unlock encoded ones, like the NZ Maori and British Lions. That is why i thought it is better to make a SH patch and a NH patch.

Oh okey thanks, so which files do i have to delete to unlock the french top 14 kits that are over the super 14 teams?

Fantastic Work mate. *applauds*
How did you incorporate the British and Irish Lions? as i thought u would either have to replace a team... i didn't think it would be possible to insert new teams altogether?

Faatau82 says: They are in the game, they are just not playable unless you edit the xml to read the files.

 

[man007]

Could you tell me how to unlock the British Lions in 08

 

[soto14]

I'd like to unlock the Lions too, pleeeease!
Also, I read some time ago that Australia and Argentina have a hidden second kit (white for Australia, blue for Argentina). I would really appreciate if someone could prepare a file where you could play with these kits (i.e. a file that would substitute the original first kit by putting it in the Rugby08 folder, and this way when you remove it you can play again with normal kits).

 

[Fa'atau82]

It should be in MUP beta, so if they don't appear, then it might be something to do with the .pro file. I will post the .pro file in the showcase forum, hopefully it should fix it.

 

[man007]

But which is the way to unlock the Lions without the MUP?

 

[ninjja]

wait... you mean EA incorporated them in the game? then did nothing with them?
or am i just speshal! :huh:

THE ERC league looks great man the only problem is that the rosters for the starting teams and all the teams is the default one the game is set with. Is there anyway to change it to any of the other rosters?

The ERC League does not crash any more with this 1.0?

Thanks alot!

There is lots of stuff in the game, left in from 06 like graphics for the Cats, Lions, Maori even some National league one teams. Trouble is, they are not hidden teams and not everything is there so you can't actually add them.. its like they have added stuff in so that modders can use it when we find it in the database file.. although most likely they figure these teams like Cornish Pirates, Rotherham etc will be promoted and so half the work is done for the next game as they can just use that.

I don't know whether to feel sorry or have a go at EA staff who made R08, because they either are lazy or have a hand tied behind their back. From modding this game when you see what they have done, it is craziness compared to other EA sports games. This game is incredibly easy to edit, yet it is let down by generally being 5 years behind the other games with the basics.

Regarding ERC/WL.. there is a seperate roster file for the ERC/WL.. unfortunately there is an issue with editing/creating it in the editor.. which we are not sure is being caused by the game being bugged, or the editor being bugged and not making a 100% compatible rdf.

I did notice however that when opening a newly saved rdf using a hex editor, the text is updated, although it doesn't appear in the game.. so i think personally it is a bug or corruption with the creation process from woosaahs editor.

hey man im making the roster files for the world league in 06. how did you make it updated?.

pm me if u dont want to clog up the forum (y)

Faatau says: The editor for 06 was ok to make rdf's i think. All you do is save the roster you have open in the editor as default, then add it to the main directory. When i say updated, i mean that my roster that works for the rest of the game, and that i saved as rdf saves ok, but and if you open it with a hex editor you clearly are looking at the updated player names, but this doesnt seem to show in the game

[hj_125]

i would also be interested in ulocking the australia and argentina kits

faatau says: I don't think it's possible. I can't see anything with the coding that seems to suggest changing it will work. For example with Australia A, both kits are listed as home and away and i have added the graphics for them both but only the home appears in the game, so the coding is correct. It might need another coding from a specific xml that controls the graphics assignment.. which we have not found.

Simply, it needs to be 'turned on', but we have to find the xml that controls it and i suspect it's encrypted.

Pffffff.
Now the game keeps crashing ooooonly in the last League Day.
Pffffff, cannot move on from that, soo sad!!!

Faatau says: I never edited any of the things, so maybe because i moved the teams.. but i can't see how it'd affect anything. Maybe i need to edit the fixtures.
