FIFA 2005 Big Archiving Kit at FIFA ECP


FIFA ECP have now released a set of programs which will enable you to edit the zdata_XX.big in FIFA 2005. It is basically three programs:

- FixBig2005: This enables you to read the bigs using any BIG editing software as before, e.g. BigGUI.
- GenBH: This regenerates the *.bh files, which is required after importing
- fatGUI: This new version of fatGUI incoporates compatibility with FIFA 2005.

Summary of how simple it is

1. Run FixBig2005.exe to fix the Bigs (only once)
2. Edit bigs using BigGUI or any comparable program.
3. Run GenBH.exe
4. Run fatGUI.exe

Download the big archiving kit now and start editing FIFA 2005 zdata_XX.big just as you did in previous FIFAs!

when i import a fsh kit, i receive.. "Cannot add playerkitblablabla.fsh from zdata_04.big. File already exists on FAT. Press cancel to skip processing rest of big file".
I run the game and i get "no texture" green/red kit instead my kit. any idea?

ps: i tried to remove the fsh file and running genbh and then
fatgui, i don't receive any warning or error. Then, i re-add the
fsh file and i compress it, run genbh and then fatgui, and says
the same "file already exists on fat".

I really thank you for these useful tools.

Thank you again.

PS: I would ask, is there a way to run fatGUI under DOS mode?

My demo keeps crashing when I import a kit or a face. I've imported all things as written above. When the match is loading the demo crashes back to desktop:(.

Not at the moment, since as the name suggests, fatGUI is a Windows program. And no command line parameters are supported at the moment and there are no plans to make them. However, you can request for this feature in www.fifaecp.com/forums

You probably imported the file to the wrong big.

I've tried two ways. First I've imported the files with bigGUI, compressed them and then I rebuild the file, runned GenBH and FatGUI. That didn't work. So I tried importing with EA Graphic and compressing with bigGUI etc. That didn't work either.

get all the original files (zdata_XX.big, bh, fifa.fat) from the demo installation exe (open with winzip or winrar or any comparable software) and retry

And do not use EA Graph.

What exactly are you importing

Youri Bakker
18-09-2004, 12:12:AM
I've tried kits and faces. First I imported a totally new face (a converted FIFA 2004 one actually) but that didn't work. So I thought maybe it's because of the FIFA 2004 headshape file. Then I edited Vieira's original FIFA 2005 texture. That didn't work either. So I after that I decided to try I kit. I made a new Arsenal kit, imported it but it crashed again.

For me it's all ok. I've imported kits (btw, where i can get AC Milan home and Arsenal away kits ?) and boots.

Youri, post what do you in turn ?

Youri: restore all your bigs (either extract the files from the demo installer, or reinstall it)

Apparently some demo expanders have trouble with the tool working... I dont see why that should be an issue, but it is.
