Rugby 08 Roster update

Just to clarify, if you want to add teams this is what you have to do roughly..

1. Open up be29.xml with notepad and change the text that says' 'no' to 'yes', go down the entire list, you can open every team and every team is playable, but it's a very long and boring task.

2. Delete the part of the line that has the teamname in the ''StringID'' brackets. Not ''Teamname'', but the part that tells the dc.english file what string text to load. If you remove the stringID text, the game will load the text you put in the ''teamname'' bracket, so you don't need to even use the dc.english (note, also works for stadiums that have shared stadium/teamname string ID)

Note, also you can take a note of the graphics loading code at the end of each team's coding. This tells the game to load logos that are coded to their respective code. For the hidden teams, i would suggest using new codes of T (for team and then a number 1-100), so you can label them T1, T2 etc all the way upto T100. Do this, if they don't have their own unique code. Note, HB coding here for hidden teams is exceptionally lazy, so ignore it and make your own coding, but i suggest 3-4 digits only.

3. Go to Woosaah's roster folder in your C:/. There is a txt file called teams.csv. Copy this and paste outside of the C:/

4. Open this file up, and you will see the text in categories. This is how it loads in Woosaah's Editor. So simply rename the teams you want and change where they appear (what country/section). Save and copy back into Woosaah's Editor folder.

5. Open a roster file, anything that has .ros, and then scroll around the sections and you will see the names of the teams you just amended in text.csv.

6. If the squad has players, remove all, and add players as you wish, or for the time being add one player, 30 times. Save. Make sure the save happens, this may take 1 or 2 attempts.

7. Load the game. Go to squad management. All your new teams will have appeared, but will all have either shared graphics (US colleges) or white squares.

8. To make the white squares into logos/graphics, you must open up the squad management logo file (.fsh) and add new objects and use those labels you made (i.e T1, T2 etc). Do this for all the teams you need. But to get them to work, you need to extract a copy of metal bin.data and name.data, and use a hex editor to edit a coded file for every team you need to add. I suggest making a folder for each new team, and editing each one.

Once you have the objects newly added in the .fsh file you need to first import the metal bin.data, and then the name.data to each new object. Then you can add the 128x64 logos, but i use a double resolution of 256x128. Save the file and copy it into your game directory.

Because you added players into teams, the game wont crash, and you then have new teams ready to start finding filenames for. Some of these have been found, but most have not. The only way to do this is play the game with one file added at a time, and let it crash to desktop. It will give you the next logical filename. Repeat x infinity, and you'll have all the filenames.

You then have to repeat the .fsh file coding (wuith the unique coding) and hopefully you'll have 30 new teams or whatever, but the main problem is the roster. IT CANNOT BE EXPANDED to include the extra 30 players for each.

And that's it!

if i follow these 'simple' instructions i could possibly add the PNG Pukpuks to the country roster?
 
hey intercept, did i hear that you were doing an updated roster for the 2010 super 14 season? any news on when this will be finished? will it be before the season starts?
 
Someone know why I can not patch my Rugby 08? when i patch it , I run the game and when says "press start button" or "click to continue" I press start and the game closes.


Alguien sabe por que no puedo parchear mi juego de Rugby 08..? cuando lo parcheo y ejecuto el juego al apretar el start en la pantalla de comenzar el juego.. este se cierra solo y se minimiza y no lo puedo volver a abrir (solo cerrandolo con el administrador y volviendolo a abrir) [yo formatie mi computadora pero los archivos de los parches quedaron guardados en una carpeta que yo tengo.. sera que los tengo que volver a bajar?]

Yes I'm working on updating the roster for the 2010 Super14, I'm basically done with the Aus and NZ teams, just waiting for the SA squads to be finalized...

I keep my fingers crossed you'll complete Castres, Bourgoin and Bristol along with Super 14 teams. To have Montpellier and Connacht then would be sweet, as well.

Castres and Bourgoin will have full squads again, Bristol...maybe!
Montpellier and Connacht not possible as there are too few players <_<

* 2010 Super 14 fixtures + 2010 Squads
* 2010 6 Nations fixtures + 2010 Squads
* New players in the European teams
* Castres and Bourgoin will have full squads again
* Some extra teams and surprises...

I can barely wait for it!  :bravo:
 
Nice I just posted in another thread asking about S14 update. Guess I should have looked around first! I don't know if you've tried it, but I tinkered with your Euro roster JdV, mainly bumping up attack, defense, creativity, and discipline scores. The result: a much more enjoyable and challenging game. For the first time ever, I found myself having to try to win. Also, it cut way down on the ridiculous clothesline tackles. Lol nothing more frustrating than making a line break only to have it called back for a tackle that would have the perpetrator banned for life. Anywhos, give it a try if you like. Can't wait for your next upD.

+++Files needed to play with The British and Irish Lions in the game+++</a>
*!*!*!*Extract the 2 files to your Rugby 08 main folder, Normally C:\Program Files\EA Sports\EA SPORTS™ Rugby 08, Remember to back-up these files if they are already in this location if you have downloaded the MUP or any other patch.*!*!*!*
<span style="color:#FF0000">*Note:These files do not unlock the Lions Tour for Rugby08, if you want the files that unlocks the Lions Tour, check here:

How to "unlock" The Lions Tour in Rugby08[/b][/quote]

Can anybody find me a profile with everything unlocked including videos, tournaments, everything?
Thanks

Oi! Thank's for your patch, it is really good, but can you help me with that: I play the game (in any torunament like Heineken Cup or 6 Nations etc..) and in the end of the match, when I click to "back to the tournament central" button, the game always die, and shut's down :S I tried to uninstall and get the patch again, but it's still shite :( Please help me
 
Someone can upload the Camacho face and the Lalanne face?
I just need the face and the ID.
If you can all the Puma's faces.

Tanks
 
Hey love the updat thanks, but i do have a couple of points that might make it even better.

1-Jean De Villiers is the best centre in the world right now, and he is rated 85?
2-Too many players no seem to be rated in the 80's which makes it unrealistic
3-The "green" connection between players should also be given more attention. e.g Jean De Villiers and Jaque Fourie should be green with Jean 12 and Jaque 13, but they only go green with Jaque 12 and Jean 13.

I know these are minor points in an otherwise excelent update, but if these can be straightened out I think the result would be perfect

Wouldnt say he's the best, Roberts and BOD are rated slightly higher imo, Conrad Smith too.

But yeah I have a question about the patch anyway, I've got MUP running atm, but am thinking of replacing it with this one. What would I need to do?

I'll be writing a short tutorial sometime this weekend on how to run multiple patches e.g. MUP, Superpatch ect at the same time. ;)
