Cricket 2005 file formats and changes

[Ste]

Post information about the file formats used for Cricket 2005 graphics and AI in this thread and discuss differences to Cricket 2004 and possible editing.

The audio is stored in a .big file similar to FIFA 2005 and the main games data is in a .gob file in the same way it was for Cricket 2004.

Actually the file isnt a .gob file, the data_pc is an EA .big file but renamed .gob and can be opened using the attached FIFA editor.

Also there is the file to open the .big and .fsh files inside the main file (EA Graphics Editor) - http://blc.sports-gaming.com/eage104b.zip

Open the .english file and you can get all the text from the game. Showing the international teams included as Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, England, India, Kenya, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, United States, West Indies and Zimbabwe

Looks like my specualtion about file formats was correct. I bet if you run filemon the .exe will look for files in the root folder, and when they are not there looks in the .gob file. Could someone check that for me?

 

[straw]

So could there be a demo expander?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Maybe we could change the teams involved...

Well I can also see tga files in it. Eg : The frizzel county championship stump is same as in CK4.
Exploring more...

Here are the default stumps that they are using in this demo

Heres the England and Australia kit files (half size).

 

[ZoraxDoom]

They look nice...

 

[sunsamrat1980]

Here is the stump pack used in the game: (19 files)



Ste can you tell how you got the kits....

 

[Ste]

Yep you need to use that program I linked to in thee 2nd post. In the bigGUI program, sort by Packed(uncompressed) just click on the column header to do that and extract the largest file by uncompressed file size. Open that in the EA Graphics Editor and then you can see the kits. Only England and Aus are included. The file is called "202d77753520ab2f66a7e163d4d7f8cd" if you cant find it!

Interesting to see alot of Rugby 2005 stuff is in the file...found this

[lazy_chesnut]

try putting this in the root directory and playing. tell me if it works....

obviously unzip it. but put the .fsh file in the game root directory.


And about that "demo expander". It's quite likely it can be changed. Maybe to include bowling rather than batting, but they may not have included any of the bowling control code in it.

But in 11 minutes and 20 seconds I'll let you know.

 

[sunsamrat1980]

Can see all the stuff in the fsh file. pitches, kits, pitchads and much more.

Here is the helmet, goggles, cap, etc..

and default crap EA picthad

 

[Ramz]
