MegaUpdatePatch (MUP09)

[Stillknox]

Thanks a lot for this long awaited release.

I have the same problem as Frntline for the moment. The issue seems to be the RDF file.

faatau says: My version works perfectly, try deleting the rdf from the mup09 roster folder. It's supposed to go in the main directory, and i am sure i put it there, but i also put it in the roster folder too.

You are a new user of MUP? if you make a new directory, and add the mup files to it and run the .exe it will not affect your other patches.

Please DO NOT add mup to any other folder than a copied one, unless you want just MUP. You can run as many patches as you like by making directories, and running the exe from each.. so if you have an rdf from the original game, then make sure you make a totally new folder and add the files there.[/b]

Mh? Could you explain how this works? So I just add a new folder (where? inside Rugby08 main folder? under which name?) with the MUP files, and then I just run the .exe, and it should go to the MUP patch just like that?

faatau says: In the folder that has the rugby directories, is where you must make a folder for MUP. Is the one in bold writing below.

like c:/program Files/EA Sports/EA Sports Rugby 08

Mate im sorry but some of these rosters are pretty damn dire in accuarcy and team ratings seem way off the marker. Wales are 79 yet they are 4th in the world??? Also is there a reason why every players name is in huge capital letters?

faatau says: This is a beta roster. It's NOT finished yet, i did say that. I still have to go through some of the stats. I never made players at 23 rating it's left in from the original. I don't understand what you mean by HUGE capital letters for the player names. Yes they are all capitals, but is that a problem? I think you find the text is programmed to be caps for the players, so if you dont make them, it still does caps.

How and When does it for having that

This is fantastic. As soon as I come home for 1/2 term hols after a friend just gave me rugby 08, MUP09 patch is made and practically finished, many thanks faatau.

:bravo: :bravo: :cheers:

faatau says: You are welcome. Releasing a patch of this size is difficult, especially when you are leading the project and that the other modders are all over the world! but hopefully my months of effort have worked (my game works 100%) and that is will work on other systems too without much problem or just small fixable problem.

In your MUP graphic you have 2 leceister mini kit home different ????
The right mini kit is ok but the left mini kit is wrong

Faatau says: I did test these and if i missed something, thanks for pointing it out. I will release a graphics fix for any stray files like this. But there shouldnt be many, i did test this.

edit: I just checked my game and both my leciester minikits are correct, home left and home right and away left, away right. Not sure why you have this missing graphic.

yeh that happend to me but i changed it with the rugby gob telling me the left home minkit for leicester and using that fsh kit so its all sorted for me now

 

[feicarsinn]

its very good grapically i must say. nice layout too. the roster does need some serious work though. i just saw a lock with a rating of 23 and a lineout ability of 1 lol. thanks alot though should be fun

faatau says: the roster is basically done, i just need to go through it with a fine toothcomb to find the stats like this and tweak a few things like the team ratings, which are slightly out of date for some teams who have improved like Wales..

ok, I had the beta installed previously and everything worked fine, but now after installing this release the game crashes to desktop when showing the rugby 2008 logo right in the start. Does this happens to anyone else?

faatau says: This is a problem with the rdf. My game works fine. You can remove the rdf from the gamefiles and it should work. I think it migth be because i gave two rdfs, one in the roster folder and one in the gamefiles. So one of them is causing a conflict, i assume. I will investigate.

Tell me, does it quit the game? Does it have any specific windows error. I assume it is crash to desktop, but sometimes it's just not a problem, it is that the window has been minimised by windows because another program is running.

yes try minimizing(alt+tap) and if i believe it should say player database bad or something i got the same error so did Stillknox if you still have the old RDF file that came with the roster it should work just put that on back in it you copied MUP09 folder that worked for me.

faatau says: the rdf should go into the main directory, or in this case the duplicate directory you made to run MUP09. I am sure i added it to the directory files, because my game works 100%, no crash. What i did do is add the rdf to the roster folder as well, so perhaps it is causing an issue. What works on my pc works, i can't test it on others.

It is definitely the rdf, and this has been a major pain in the ass for modding this game.. so basically it either goes in the main directory where you put the mup files, or it';s got to be removed from the roster folder. My game works and has had this for some time, so i am a little baffled why you get a crash.

I apologise for any problems you have with mup09, but it's just adding gamefiles. It should work if you find the right combination.

 

[Fa'atau82]

Hi all,

As far as my game and it's files goes.. it all works 100%. I have the right minikits for Leicester. I have no crashes at all, anywhere. I don't think there is a problem with translation but if there is a problem i hope i can solve it with this quick troubleshooter.

Missing graphics:
Make sure you added the game files to a new mup folder, if you don't have one before from MUP beta (a full copied main directory, WITHOUT modded fsh,big, xml, rsg files) and then run the .exe or copy it to desktop for quickness.

Crash when loading:
The .rdf file might be causing an issue. It should go in with the mup09 gamefiles, which is done already for you in the download.. but it could be that for some users there is some problem.. so delete the rdf from the mup09 roster folder and try that.

I can guarantee this mod works 100%, but for some reason there is some issue in translation of the files to other systems.

Can someone please tell me if they have it working 100% with no crash? If there is just one person, it means the files are correct, and it is another issue.

Thanks for your help and patience, this patch is not easy.

The only other thing i can think is to delete all the gamefiles (not .exe or 'other' files, just .xml .fsh .rsg .big) from the mup beta folder (if you installed previously) and then add the new files back into it. You should only get a problem logically if you are a MUP beta user, and if there is some duplicate of old files.

I am sure i updated them all, and i didn't delete any files, or files that would cause any changes.. so you should get updates on ALL files, or replacing them the same as they was.

Hello,


I have a problem with a MUP.pro

 

[frntline]

Yeah i moved it into my MUP09 main directory but i gives me that error i said earlier but if i do the older one thats smaller back in it works just fine

 

[presty99]

This is awesome. but i have had a few problems.

1. On world league i can't buy backs. It crashes if i go onto that screen

2. It stops working after a season

Can i fix this?

Also ollie barkley's face is all mangled.

 

[Fa'atau82]

These are strange issues. Barkleys face should be fine, it's just an update of a unique face.. i will test buying backs in WL, i'm sure i have done this.. and i haven't had time to play a whole season.. but it should be fine.

No idea why mup.pro won't work. You need it to have the extra teams. The mup.pro goes in the ea rugby 08 folder in 'my documents', with the roster folder. I will test these things, but it's infuriating as my game works perfectly.

So, what happens with mup.pro exactly?

 

[Fa'atau82]

I tested Barkley's face, it is perfectly fine. It's like you all have a different version or something. My game works 100%, i copied my files so they should be exactly the same, and produce the same result. I am baffled why the problems are so varied and so random.

All i can ask is the following:

If you have noticed an error with the loading of the game, please describe it to me as much as you can, i.e where it occurs and any error messages afterwards.

If you have noticed missing graphics, then that is much more fixable. I haven't got any missing graphics in my files though. I have just checked the Leicester minikits again, they are 100% correct.. Barkley's face is perfect.. and no crashes anywhere.

This happens on the PS2 version quite a lot of the time as well. I think its just an internal game error, on the PS2 I changed my profile and it stopped crashing.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

2. It stops working after a season sad.gif[/b]

Are you saying that you've completed a season on world league already? The patch was only uploaded yesterday!

I haven't tried a season of world league yet.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

If you use a new profile you sometimes have to change the effects back to high (the MUP09 profile was already on high though). If the effect are on medium or low this cut out quite a lot of the good quality faces and hairs (thanks for these by the way).

Great mod. It's just so much better playing with the real Cardiff blues logo. Are you uploading the music soon because the playlist looks awesome, roster does need a little bit of tweaking, but I just used the editor on my favorite teams (Wales and Cardiff). Thanks Fa'atau82

 

[Fa'atau82]

Lukascd, can you tell me if you have the Leicester minikits correct? If you have it working, then it is proof that the mod is fine, it is just some issues with individual PC's.

You are right about the .pro file, it's obviously set to my PC and it's settings (i have an 18'' monitor) and it's all set to max, so that should sort some of the faces. the only face i know looks toss, is kabezon's castrogiovanni. Something with the hair, it looks terrible in my version.

I will upload audio tonight probably. It's just one file, that goes in the audio folder of the main directory you want. Perhaps this is causing some error, but i don't think so because if your game works, and it doesn't have the audio (i have never uploaded it) then it can't be that.

It's a right mix of issues.. hopefully i can give as good tech support as i do mods.

 

[presty99]

My Leicester minikts aren't right.

Yes i have finished a season and it has stopped working

I'm not using the MUP profile because it doesnt work, it crashes when it says it has loaded, this might be the cause of my problems?
