Xbox 360: Project Patch

[PocketScout]

I am looking for a few programmers to help patch NCAA 2011 for the xbox. I would like to thank all of you who have purchased my app, but now my attention is shifted. I will no longer be working on my apps, I want to focus on finishing development of an Unofficial Community Patch.

During research for my app, I found a way that it is possible for us to patch the game saves. Its not going to be quick with one guy. I have already started, but I need help. I am looking for skilled individuals who have knowledge with C#. If you know C, C++ or VB you can figure out C# very very easily.

UPDATE: This patch is to fix recruits initial ratings and possibly look at patching progression as well.

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way shape or form associated with EA.

Thanks
Tc

The research for decrypting a player data dump is done.

Now I am 50% done on reformatting the player data dump and storing the results.

Once that is done I will need to write code to re-encrypt the data.

A search method will need to be made to find the data in the file, currently I am grabbing it by hand.

Then a method will need to be made to put the data back in the right place.

Then once this process is smooth, a script to change the desired attributes can be written.

If you were wonder what your player is made of here ya go:

I know VB, but I'm on PS3. Still, if you need any help, or if I would be of any help, shoot me a PM.

Re: Xbox 360: Project Patch

I also wish I could help but my C++ knowledge is unfortunately limited ...But one thing I wonder is if changing save files won't be flagged by MS for violating their ToS? Just wondering if an altered save file might be considered in that way?

Re: Xbox 360: Project Patch

So what would an end user such as myself have to do to implement this into our dynasties??

Re: Xbox 360: Project Patch

Let me know if you still need help. I know C# and am interested in working on this.

Re: Xbox 360: Project Patch

It will be a script that will process your dynasty save file.

Recruits:
1) You will have to save it to a usb drive.
2) You will have to move the file to your cpu. (There are free programs for this)
3) You will run the script and it will change the attributes of the players
4) You will have to resign the file (There are free programs for this)
5) Put it back on the usb drive and your done.

Email me and will send you an invite to the google group.

Re: Xbox 360: Project Patch

Ok, and that would be something that would be done every offseason? Doesn't seem too terribly intrusive.

Yeah it would only need to be done once an offseason.

Re: Xbox 360: Project Patch

If I use an external hard drive to save my dynasty on (that is formatted to work as a 360 hard drive) will I be able to do all of this from there once I plug it into the comptuer?

Re: Xbox 360: Project Patch

I'm wondering if something similar would work on the PS3.

If someone decrypted the save file, the answer is yes it could.

Re: Xbox 360: Project Patch

All i have to say is I think im in love with you. Do you have a timeline on when you think this will be done by?
