[Somerset_Rule]

can somebody help?

i downloaded the bat pack for cricket 2005. i extracted all the files into the correct file and then put the roster into my documents/ea sports/es sports cricket 2005/myname.ros and renamed the file accordingly. howver when i play the game there is no sign of the bats can anyone help?

So your myname.ros is something like Somerset_Rule.ros ? Maybe you took out the .ros bit.

 

[Somerset_Rule]

no, its all called ed.ros the roster and profile

 

[aussie1st]

Are you sure you extracted the fsh files into EA Sports\EA SPORTS Cricket 2005.

 

[Somerset_Rule]

yeh, i ll do it again. wait a min. i ve extracted the readme file aswell as the other files. would this make a difference?

 

[aussie1st]

Nope that shouldn't matter.

Has anyone been able to import patches etc into the xbox game? If so, can someone give some easy instructions?
Cheers

This is a edited version of f0bstyle's instructions.

Installation Instructions:

There are two ways to import the kits & other patches into your game.
The easier way is to extract the zip file into your game directory.
For example:
X:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\EA SPORTS Cricket 2005.
and not into X:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\EA SPORTS Cricket 2005\data.
and not C:\My Documents\EA Sports\EA SPORTS Cricket 2005

The other way is to open the data_pc.gob file in the data folder with biggui and import the files into the gob. THE FILES MUST BE COMPRESSED, SO USE THE COMPRESS BUTTON ON BIGGUI. I have not imported the kits like this, so I do not know if the game will crash or not. If you do this method, back up your cricket_pc.gob file.

For installing pitch-ads & other files in bmp format:

You can find the list of pitch files here
Extract them using BigGUI or EAGraph into your Cricket 2005 root directory.

Open the extracted fsh file in FshEd.
For importing pitch-ad click on ptad.See pic:

Now Click Object->Import or Ctrl+I
This window shows up:

Click on New & select the bmp file to import.
After selecting click update:

Now Click File->Save to save the file.Give the name of the fsh eg: 0ce83d1bd97d73f5eed69ec9529a53f5.fsh & save it to your Cricket 2005 folder.

The 1st box I have none of the 6 "names" there, I want to import a pitchad and need .ptd but like I said none of them are there, what am I doing wrong?

1). Download the pitch mat patch of your choice from http://www.planetcricket.org/.

2). Extract the .zip file to anywhere on your hard disk drive.

3). Open the BigGUI editor.

4). Open the data_pc.gob file.

5). Select the pitch mat file of your choice. (e.g. 0ce83d1bd97d73f5eed69ec9529a53f5.fsh for a dusty pitch.)

6). Use the BigGUI editor to extract that file to anywhere on your hard disk drive.

7). Open the fshEd editor.

8). Open the .fsh file you just extracted.

9). Go to the 'ptad' file inside that.

10). Use the import tool to import the pitch mat patch there.

11). Save the file.

12). Put the edited .fsh file n the Cricket 2005 root directory.

Can the mods make this a sticky?

I followed this and did everything except #12 which I did'nt understand and now my game won't work.
I get a black screen with a large white cursor

It's telling me it's unable to open BIG file data/data_pc.gob

/edit It's ok I had to delete a "copy" of the data_pc gob file that was also in the same folder (havn't got a clue lol)
My pitch mat worked
ta lads :happy

can u tell me how 2 make transparent pitch ads?!

 

[bharat]

u have to create alpha chalnnels & save it as 32-bit bmp.
Search the forum for "Alpha Layers" I have created a tutorial for it.

 

[katrue143]
