Hi.
Has anyone experienced this?
I have the MRA, and now I downloaded the FED2000 (the fed2000.exe) and customized the teams of the game's database, not the teams from the patches. When I started to play, the teams had the kits from a patch (the Bundesliga Mega pack v2.1), Does it mean that files from that patch are mixing with those of the game?.


Thanks, Carlos

Did you convert your db files to dbi?

The kit files might still be installed into your FIFA2000 texture folder

Hi.

Can you explain what you said about converting db files into dbi files?
What do I do regarding what you said that the kits files may be in the game's texture folder?
Thank you ,

Carlos

Carlos,

Ok, if you don't know what I'm talking about, then you still haven't done it. I'll explain it to you anyway.

Any in-game editing you do (when you go to the customize section and edit the players or team) gets saved as db files in your user folder. The dbi files are where the original club names and player names are located. Since these are the originals, any changes you do to these overwrites the original. FED2000 gives you the option of saving the .db changes into your .dbi files.

I believe that you haven't uninstalled the patch from your FIFA2000 folder using the MRA. Do this: Using Windows Explorer, open your FIFA2000 CD (Click on the designated drive for your CD-ROM) and you'll see a data folder. Go here: data/player/textures/. Press control-A and copy all these into your FIFA2000 folder (Where you installed the game)in the same location there. Once they're in the folder click control-A again and click on properties. Change the setting from read only to archive. Go back to you FED2000 and see if the kits changed. Keep in mind that you only replaced the kits, so if the patch makers edited the dbi files then you will see there editing in FED2000 (If they changed the names and League names and club names).

If you have a new version of the MRA then it should give you the option of uninstalling the patch. This would be much easier than what I just explained above.

Hi.

I install thepatches from the MRA, when I start playing and uninstall them when I quit. What I did after I found that jerseys mess, was cut the patch folder from the game's folder and placed somewhere else, but the adboards, jerseys and grass stayed there. A guy named Ed Demir, is the author of the Bundesliga patch emailed me saying that FIFA2k supports only 53 kits and he used them all for club teams. That's OK to me, I just want to restore the jerseys from the original game, when I'm not playing with the patches.

I started to do what you told me, but Ctrl A doesn't work.

I'll wait for new directions.

Tahnks a lot and regards,

Carlos

Just grab all the jerseys, thats what control-A does. You know how to grab all the jerseys.

Hi fifafanatic.

Is it what you want me to do?:

Go to the FIFA 2K CD, move to data/player/textures, select all, copy and then paste in the data/player/texture folder installed in my PC.

Right?

This will resore the original kits when you don't play with a patch and use the kits of respective patches when you play with them, ¿no?.


By the way, just another question. When you play with a patch (through MRA) you save your setting in the game menu, but when you uninstall it, the MRA asks if you want to save the settings, maybe I said yes to that and that caused the mess in the player/textures folder.

Please excuse me for all that asking, but I'm just an advertising copywriter, football fanatic, with not too much computer savvy.
REgards, and thanks a lot.

Yeah,

All your doing is restoring your original kits. If you want to use a certain patches kits, you have to install the patch.

You have to ask the guys over at the MRA site about MRA questions, they can give you a better answer.

In the old version of the MRA, I use to have a patch named original in the patches folder. This folder was just copies of the original files of the game. When I was done playing with a patch I would install the original patch to set my fifa2000 folder back to its original files. You need to look inside the patch folder and see what files were edited, that way you could put the original files in the original patch folder. Try that
