How do you download files for the PC? Can someone run me through a step-by-step, because I'm clueless about this kind of stuff. I did read the directions on mvpmods.com, but I need some more in-depth directions. Baby steps, you know?

Re: Sorry, but....
First, download MVPedit here: www.glass4.com/mvpedit
Then download the roster here: http://www.mvpmods.com/Downloads/get=2515.html
Under the File name section, click the link. (it should be 9708jctroster_final2005roster.zip or something similar to that.)
When you download it, it should be on your desktop(or in a folder if you set it that way), and be a zipped folder called jtcroster...... Click on it and unzip it (it should be easy to do) and you will get the file If a window opens up saying Open With at the top, open it under Compressed (Zipped) Folders. The another window will open with the file. I would right click on the file and click Cut or Copy, then right click on the desktop and click paste. Now the file will be on the desktop. You can now delete the zipped folder (make sure you see the file on your desktop first)
Open up MVPedit (you may have to install it).You may get an error message. If the error mentions the file MSCOMCTL.OCX or TABCTL32.OCX, download http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/libraryfiles.exe file. When it's downloaded, run it. When this has finished, run MVPEdit again and you should be able to use it without the error appearing again.
How do I load my roster for the first time?
This depends on how you have got your roster to begin with. If the file you downloaded comes as a .mbe file, then simply open MVPEdit and click Open from the toolbar, then find the .mbe file. Click the Open button and the file will load so that you can view it and make changes to it. If you want to use the roster set you already have in MVPEdit or if you have downloaded a roster with lots of .dat files, open MVPEdit then click Import from the toolbar. You will be shown a folder location section with 2 buttons, OK and Cancel. Double-click on the database folder so that you see something similar to the following;
then click OK. You will then be asked where you want to save the file. Choose anywhere you want, but for convenience, you can use the MVPEdit folder. Choose a name for the file, then click Save and the files will be imported from your game directory and you can then view and edit them as you wish. From now on, instead of importing every time, you can just use the Open button to load the file you just created, which will be a .mbe file.
I've made the changes I want to make, but when I click Tools-Check Errors, it says my lineups are incomplete when they aren't.
This is a known bug in MVPEdit, but it isn't actually related to the lineups at all. Click the rotation tab, take a note of the way you have your pitching set out, from the rotation to long relief, middle relief, set up and closer, then remove all the players from all the boxes in this tab so that your pitching is totally clear. Now, but all the players back the way they were and click Tools-Check Errors again and the error should be gone.
How do I export my roster into the game?
Once you've loaded your roster in MVPEdit and have made all the changes you want to make, click the Export button on the toolbar. This will load a window with 2 buttons (OK and Cancel) and a folder location section. In this section, double-click on the database folder, so that when you are ready to click OK, your window looks similar to this:
If it does, click OK. You may be shown a message saying "File exists. OK to overwrite?" with OK and Cancel buttons. Click OK and the progress status at the bottom left of MVPEdit will start to update to let you know the status of the export. When that says "Save complete", the rosters have been exported correctly, so you can now close MVPEdit if you wish.
I exported my rosters, but they don't show up in-game.
You may need to click Reset Rosters in MVP 2005 to get the game to recognise your changes. You can find the Reset Rosters button by going to Roster Management from the main menu of the game.
The rosters showed up in-game, but when I try to play a game with them, the game closes with an error message and takes me back to the desktop.
There are a few things that could cause this, but the most common one seems to be using inaccurate face ID's or audio/photo ID's. Load the rosters in MVPEdit, then check through the players on the teams you selected to make sure that you haven't set an incorrect face or audio/photo ID.
I hope this helps, ask if you have any more questions.Comment

Re: Sorry, but....
Yeah, I got a question. What if you aren't a member of MVP MODS? You can't download their file, and due to the fact that I am only 12, I am not going to the trouble of having my parents sign the COPPA. Can you use other rosters?Comment
