Patching US version

[gonzoPHD]

After toying around with AFS Explorer 3.7. I manage to get the cv_1 reduced to 623mb, but now I can’t go into edit mode or exhibition the game freezes it shows the entire team name correct and play the music file fine.

k1llu - What exactly did you do to get it down that small?

I used GGS and tried over-writing 4 files in the patch (stadiums_505, 512, 519, 526), with smaller versions from the original cv_1. That got me just under the original file size (638,352 - the original was 638,612), but I got the same results as you - everything looks/sounds fine, but freezes in exhibition or edit modes.

Also, what did you patch before burning? I've patched cv_0 by itself, then burned, and the game works fine - so we know that doesn't cause any freezing. Next I'm going to try just cv_0 and rv_u, so we can isolate cv_1 and make sure that's the problem. If anyone's already tried that, please let me know - I'd love to save a DL.

In AFS Explorer 3.7 there is a function in advance option that’s called modify resave space I used it to reduce the file and save it as cv_1.img

I patched flowing file before burning
cv_0.img
cv_1.img
cs.img
I feel cv_1.img is the reason the game freezes I just don’t know why

Well, like I said, I burned a disc with only cv_0 patched and it works fine. I can go into edit or exhibition and play with no problems. Of course, there's still a lot missing. EPL, Bundesliga, and all Cup logos are correct - but the team and stadium names, and kits, aren't right.

I'm going to do what I said in my last post, and now try burning with cv_0 and rv_u patched. I'll update in a little while.

I've patched everything except cv_1 and had no problems so far. I might have to go in and relink the kits in the param myself instead of importing one; hopefully, that will work. If I can just get the EPL working, I'll be satisfied. For now.

 

[nacinn]

I will pass the files of cv_1 one by one hand, I think it is the only way

How do u relink the kit in the param?

 

[gonzoPHD]

k1llu - I think he means open the iso and import just the EPL kit files, one by one.

nacinn - Godspeed bro. You will be a hero if you fix it.

Paul - Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all of the kits in cv_0? Cv_1 appears to be mostly balls and stadiums - I don't see any kits in there.

 

[paulitix]

Yeh, the kits are in cv_0, but the param_dat is in cv_1. this file contains the kit info, such as where the graphics files are for the numbers, fonts, and kits themselves. So I'll need to go in there and repoint. Tell me gonzo, k1llu, are you sseing proper EPL kits on the kit selection screen before the crash?

 

[gonzoPHD]

It doesn't get that far. As soon as you select your team, it locks - before you get to pick an opponent, or your kit.

Don't the files in Agimar's cv_0 have the same names as the original? There are definitely the same number of files. If you hex, what would you be repointing to?

 

[jocasa]

When you clean the cache of the xbox 360 the epl appears?

 

[gonzoPHD]

I posted that because I saw it in another thread. Once you have a working, patched copy of the game - yes, that will make the proper kits appear. However, we still don't have a working, patched copy.

Pleese guys if any on

if any one finallly get this to work pls let me know i have spend over 4 whole days and burn like 8 dls and same thing pls let me know

 

[paulitix]

Yeh, I'm getting the freezing at the same place. Annoying.


And for the record, I've been using steveomilan's files from his mix patch, but for the cv_1 i only imported the unnamed 21 & 25. I edited the param to repoint the kits.

What are unnamed 21 & 25 and how do you edit your param?

 

[paulitix]

What are unnamed 21 & 25 and how do you edit your param?

they are player and team name files. you can eiother hex edit the param or use Yogui's PES2008 Kit Model Manager. You can find it on evo web.

 

[paulitix]

When you try to open say cv_1.img in AFS explorer, do you get the following message?



If so, what do you answer?

When I put no, I get:

Don't the files in Agimar's cv_0 have the same names as the original? There are definitely the same number of files. If you hex, what would you be repointing to?

The reason for the relink is that there a bunch of unused bin files in the original cv_0, where if you look, you'll see pretty much some Chelsea looking kits as placeholders. Much of the new kits were inserted here (in the 8000s) this is where you need to repoint to.

 

[paulitix]

Just to update... I've inserted steveo's cv_0 and manually updated the param in the cv_1. Success!

So as of now, I have EPL Logos and Kits, but default names (unnamed_25?). I also have bundesliga logos, but no kits as I did not relink them in the param (made it too big for import. On this topic, gonzo or k1llu, I'd like to chat with one of you about resizing, please pm me your msn or aim or whatever).

SO the freezing seems to be caused by one of: unnamed_21, unnamed_25, rv_u. If I recall, you'd select exhibition, then EPL, and then freeze. I suspect it is the unnamed_21 that is screwing things up.

Gonna have to test these now.

 

[paulitix]

Confirmed. Something must be different in the player DBs between Euro and US because when I change everything, except unnamed_21, it works.

And it's beautiful.

So, gonzo, k1llu, try replacing the unnamed_21 in the cv_1 with the original one and try again. Hopefully that will do it.

Not done yet tho...I still wanna relink the Bundesliga kits and the Classics.
