Madden 19 Modding Discussion

From 0001c00e.xml file header.

fileName="Franchise-GeneratorData" databaseName="Madden19_Gen4_CFM.Madden19_Gen4_CFM"

Has a ton of draft prospect generator data ranges:

 record name="Pick5through32.PropertySetterStruct" assetId="60440" 
             attribute name="Name" value="DraftPick"   
             attribute name="SetOnTarget" value="False"   
             attribute name="Setter" value="Pick5through32.RandomIntegerRangeNormalized"   
          record 
         record name="PlayActionRating24-48.PropertySetterStruct" assetId="58764" 
             attribute name="Name" value="PlayActionRating"   
             attribute name="SetOnTarget" value="False"   
             attribute name="Setter" value="GeneralTier37_Rating_24-48.RandomIntegerRangeNormalized"   
          record 
         record name="PlayActionRating56-68.PropertySetterStruct" assetId="154653" 
             attribute name="Name" value="PlayActionRating"   
             attribute name="SetOnTarget" value="False"   
             attribute name="Setter" value="PlayActionRange56-68.RandomIntegerRangeNormalized"   
          record 
         record name="PlayActionRating60-72.PropertySetterStruct" assetId="154651" 
             attribute name="Name" value="PlayActionRating"   
             attribute name="SetOnTarget" value="False"   
             attribute name="Setter" value="PlayActionRange60-72.RandomIntegerRangeNormalized"   
          record 
         record name="PlayActionRating63-75.PropertySetterStruct" assetId="154649" 
             attribute name="Name" value="PlayActionRating"   
             attribute name="SetOnTarget" value="False"   
             attribute name="Setter" value="PlayActionRange63-75.RandomIntegerRangeNormalized"   
          record

Also includes all the weighted first and surname generated names (probability a generated player is named "Tom" instead of "Harry"... I just realized Harry Potter and Tom Riddle were probably named such due to the saying "Any Tom, Dick, or Harry"). Also includes generic coaches with coaching attributes/traits.

You know, I've never used xml but IIRC, someone could probably use this .xml to write a utility to generate draft classes with names and attributes, but no bodies/face/heads/skin/etc outside of Madden...? Would possibly be easier than changing everyone's body/face/skin from a Madden generated class. Might make it easier to create a 2020/2021 realistic draft class with actual NCAAF player names and blank slates for their body types and head/skin/faces?

I've got about an hour or so. Going to dig some more and then unpack another cas.cat

Not sure if this would be a mod or not, but will there be a way to either port or easily transfer XB or PS roster files to PC. Or is there a way already?

[trey31]

I'm probably going to put all of the xml files I find in a zip and google drive a link.

Here is the header and some random lines from 0001c334.xml
It appears to be mostly CPU AI for everything that happens in CFM Owner mode?

0001b50f.xml is kind of odd. Has players without names, perhaps CFM-generated camp bodies? asset IDs for team's draft picks. Concessions items, tons of those...


Moving on to:
Madden NFL 19\Data\Win32\superbundlelayout\madden_installpack age_01

This cas.cat has no xml that I can find. some of the larger .dats are .mp4 files that are rotated 180 and mirrored in reverse. Also .MVH files but display MVhd in header.

All of the .dat files with the first bits that start "1A 45 DF A3" in HxD can be opened in Notepad++, saved as a"All Types" with .mp4 extension added and they'll open/play in MPC-HC. The ones that are mirrored and rotated have sound, the others don't. I probably got the container wrong, maybe .mkv? Idk, but they play.

Here is the video, can save it as download. Nothing special though.


Should I keep posting here or start another thread just for the decompressed game files? This thread has morphed about 4 times now and at this point feels like it's just a catch-all message board more than anything, my machine gun posting probably isn't helping...

Madden 08 PC is still very much alive including updated NFL rules

May as well keep ppstingvhere no need to complicate things more until we have our ducks in a row

mod cfm stats to reflect minutes played by users. If a user plays 7 minute quarters the stats in a cfm for all ai controlled teams should reflect this also.

If you guys find anything else relating to colleges, send them to me. I’m the one working on the colleges code and ids. It makes it much easier to send them to me instead until I ship the file back, which I’ll notify when they’re complete and sent.

Can't remember off the top of my head. I believe it was the main roster one. I didn't actually find colleges listed. I just noticed that all players had their college with an ID next to it. Copied the whole file over to Excel. Split the text in to columns. Filtered out all the junk we didn't need and was left with what I posted.
