MegaUpdatePatch (MUP09)

[Fa'atau82]

The main problem is there is not enough players to fill another 3/4 teams without re-using or having 22 man squads.. which is fine.. but i'm not sure where another 66 players will come from.. it works at the moment because the players in the representative teams are duplicates from other teams.

Realistically, i'd have to release a MUP 09 add-on team mod, which would replace teams like Connacht, Leeds, etc with the some more Italian and Spanish teams.

Awesome work

Only one question : this mod will be playable in world league (i hope yes )

Thks for all

faatau says: The World League is playable with the original roster, but not the edited rosters for the moment.

You guys think there is any chance to play this game on line?? There are some people running independent servers to play some old games on line (i.e. some people are working on a server for pro evo 6 since konami will shut it down in a few weeks).

I mean the game against the CPU insn't really challenging enough!!

Anyway i 'll be waiting for the patch and start playing the game again with my Petrarca Padova!!!

faatau says: No chance i'm afraid of online.. there is no way i can see to run the game online, as it is not made with online capabilities. Padova are all updated, with realistic generic faces and there is also some other italian teams to play, which are Treviso, Calvisano, Viadana and Rugby Parma. In later editions of MUP 09, i will try to add Rovigo and Gran Parma.

I can't wait for the patch!!!

Ah one more thing: in rugby 06 there was an option where the camera would switch angle according to the possession of the ball, i could not find that camera option in rugby 08, did i miss something or it is not there?? it was the best for playing 1v1 with friends!!!

faatau says: I don't really use too many cameras, but i think you can zoom in or out at breakdowns, and in open play zoom in and out too.. if you use different cameras it will look different. i think i know the camera you talk about, but i can't remember it's name. It sort of flips from end to end when you get or lose the ball?

Also, Padova have new HD kits, as do pretty much all teams that are not from RWC 2007 with proper Adidas numbers. It looks great if i do say so myself. I will start taking screenshots very soon, as i have finished squads for most teams, and can get nice screens.

 

[charlievolano]

Yap i think it is missing, i only used the madden style of camera as it is impossible to kick with the normal cameras!!!

I can't wait to see some screenschots, i have been waiting to play with petrarca padova for years!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully we'll also get a next gen game sooner or later!!!!

P.S.
a sample video on youtube would be also great!!!

[can sumone tell me how to install and use this MUP09 patch plss
i really like it and would like to play!

Download the zip file, extract the contents to a folder of your choosing, then copy and paste all the files into the main EA sports rugby 08 directory, which is..

C:/Program Files/EA Sports/EA Sports Rugby 08.

If you would not like to play the original game (with S14) then make a copy of the EA Sports Rugby 08 folder as mentioned above, and add the files into that. Then copy the .exe file (the rugby 08 icon) to desktop. This will make allow you to run different fiels from different folders.

Does anyone know where I can find the correct roster for Stade Francais?

 

[Fa'atau82]

The MUP 09 roster has it, but i am finishing it and making the World League roster work. The roster and MUP 09 will be released together. Can't say when exactly, but within a couple of months i hope. It's about 90% done.

 

[charlievolano]

Any known bug btw??

 

[Fa'atau82]

There are no bugs in MUP, rather the bugs are in the game and MUP can't correct them.

HI Guys

I'm having the following problem, after I make up the kit, import it to the fsh file and dump it in the big file I can access it just fine in the game. My problem comes in when doing the kit backs, when you open the fsh file containgng them you have 22 entries, one for each kit back. when I select the first entry and try to import the updated bmp, psd or png image it updates fine, when I go to the second enrtry for the second kit back and try to import the image it puts the file in the first images pace and not the second one.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this

Enjay

Tutorial for FSHed

1. Make sure you have added the plug-in for FSHed. This lets you import files other than bmp and jpeg. Get this from the thread on Showcase Forum.
2. Open ANY kitback file from the game and you will see 22 subfiles (images) called jbck.
3. Click on the first jbck (1) and then go to the 'edit object properties' icon in the toolbar.
4. Where you see the data entry field with the subfile name jbck, change it to jbca and click update.
5. Repeat this for the other 21 subfiles and save the file.
6. To add the images, click on the TOOLS tab, then GRAPHIC IMPORTER and find the image file you made and update. It will then appear in FSHed.
7. Once you have added all the images, save the file.

You now have a stock kitback file, which you can use for any kitback file in 06 or 08.

If you are using another fsh file.. of any kind and the subfile name is the same, just repeat the instructions above, but just change the last letter. I don't tend to change the word, just a couple of letters.. but this is only in logo files, which have teams who have the same code.

TIPS:

If saving images with white in them, try to make the opacity 99%. It reduces any loss of quality.

HEY GUYS! i hav a suggestion for the Pacific Teams especially FIJI! well, first of all the tradition war dances should also be made for the 3 warriors of rugby Tonga, Samoa and FIJI!!

Tonga- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C6-g1gFvu8
Samoa- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ-NyW4PTtw
FIJI!- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7YWUZcSJoU

oh and some facial kits too like fijian winger F Delasau - http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0dBF4YJbNj2i1/610x.jpg
and the editing of some positions like fijian Centre/ Wing S Naqelevuki who is playing centre right now for the Stormers beside fellow team mate J De Villies....
One last thing lol.... the three teams played superb in the RWC! i think the IRB were a bit too harsh puting Tonga and Samoa in a very One sided pool beside two Big Guns ENGLAND AND SOUTH AFRICA who by the way made it to the finals...
#it would be awesome making some stars in the fiji, tonga and samoa side... FIJI did strugle to make the quarters and as always, were know as the entertainers of world rugby... delasau and rabeni deserve a star! also A Qera was rated with top flankers after the RWC ended.....
*i hope u think about the REAL ruggers down in the pacific>..

P.S QERA BEATS MCCAW ANYTIME!!

 

[Fa'atau82]

I have acknowledged that fact in the roster. I did try to make some faces too, but we do need some Fijians like Ratovou, Rauluni etc.

 

[spampy]

hi fa'atau, it's a normal thing that the set plays on defence can't be seen? and the game doesn't permet to go right-straight quickly?
however, thanks for everything you are doing..!

 

[Fa'atau82]

It all works in the next release. When Ciais was working on this patch, he made a lot of things and didn't tell me how, so it took me time to find what he had done after he left. But all is ok now, and World League works 100%.

All that's left is some kits for Bourgoin, the rest of the roster and some smartening up of the menu graphics.

 

[charlievolano]

I installed the patch but once the game started my pc got frozen....maybe it does not support the new HD material.

make sure you put the files in the main directory (c:/program files/ea sports/ea sports™ rugby 08) instead of my documents.
