[LMamone]

Okay, here you can grab up to date 2006-2007 rosters.
RTE 13 fixed, everything should work now.
Rosters (http://rapidshare.com/files/14991700/s_rosters.rar.html)

1.You need to have the official DDS: Pro Basketball Beta Patch 1.0.2 installed.You can check your game version on the main menu screen.
2.You will also need to have a save folder from your previous league.
Example:C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\SAVES\MNL
You need to remove(delete) the MLN.pbb file
3.Cut'n'Paste FirstName_LastName.coa file(ie John_Smith.coa)from your previous save folder(MNL,or whatever save abbrevation you've used) in C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\SAVES .
4.Extract the s_rosters.mdb to your C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\imports folder.
5.Run the game, and it should be working. You should be able to start the league on October 4th(prior to the Developmnent League Draft).
6.Extract the Owners folder to the C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\graphics\Owners.
It will ask you do you want to overwrite the default folder, click Yes.
7.If it still doesnt work, re-read these steps and try it again.

What has been done:

thanks a lot!!!! i'll test this roster later when i'll be home ;)

[miketheslummy]

Thanks for all, works perfectly but as you said,
there's always an error after D-League draft "RTE 13 Type mismatch during the end of DLeague Draft"
I'm not an english user but I Have my languages setting on english

[LMamone]

Thanks, glad you liked it.
Ive tried to check the player database for errors, in case ive misspelled something, but havent found nothing.
Would like to see more people trying it out, especially english users, so we can determine whther its language related bug or something else.

[dramakng01]

I'm an english user and I'm getting the same error message

[LMamone]

Well, we can safely rule out language error then.
Ive mailed the file to Gary, hopefully he will be able to determine and solve the problem.

[orton1227]

For some reason, it didn't work for me. I start on 6/19/06. I followed the steps - but in my save folder named NBA (instead of MNL) the .pbb file is named career.pbb. After we extract the roster file, then run the game, do we start a new association?

[Gary Gorski]

I believe the error at the dleague draft stems from not having enough players in the file to draft. I will download your file and see if that is indeed the case but that seems to be what I am finding

[mgsports]

I download it but nothing in the file. If somebody wants to Email it I'm at mgsports@comcast.net

[LMamone]

@ orton1227-you need to delete NBA.pbb file, then start the new game.It is located inside the save folder, but outside of NBA folder.Dont forget to check the "import roster" box when creating the league.It should be working.
@ mgsports-i've just tried download, file named s_rosters.mdb should be inside of the rar.
@ Gary-Yeah, that might be the case, b/c ive changed Team and Team ID of some players from FA,0 to 500,ROOK.(in order to have minimum of 60 players in the next rookie class).
Hopefully that's the solution, i will try to add some more FA's and see if it works.

[thony]

Solved the problem on my computer. I guess you have to convert all the rookies into free agents. Now the NBDL draft doesn't hang anymore :D

BTW Great work LMAMONE! Do you need help in fixing some of the stats? I can lend you a hand. Some of the players have wrong stats.

[LMamone]

Wait, i have a question here.
You say you coverted all rookies to FA's.That means you have no rookies in your roster file right now?Like no players with Team ID 500, and Tam ROOK?
Because i thought roster file requires atleast 60 rookies to work properly.
If that isnt required, thats a great news, it will save me alot of work.
Oh, yeah, if you want to work on some players, feel free to do so.Stats for most players should change once the season starts.
Ive created this file as a blueprint for further editing, so that poeple can edit it to their own liking.

Yup, converted all the rookies into FA. The rookie file is separate from the main data file. Since I also have TCB rookie files, I merely import a rookie file into the game or you can get the game to automatically generate new rookies for you.

I believe there is no need for a minimum of 60 rookies with the "start of the season" mod file that you are working on, since technically the draft is basically over.

[LMamone]

Ok, thanks again.
Btw,could you mail me some of those rookie files you have?
I dont have TCB, and cant find anywhere to download them.
And i dont feel like manually creating them...:eek:

Give me a PM of your e-mail :D

[LMamone]

Update:RTE 13 fixed, everything works good now.
I have updated owner names to match real life ones, and included their photopack as well.You can find it in the 1st post.
Enjoy!

[antigravity]

Thony can we have your rookie files too? Do they include the 2007 rookies?

[antigravity]

LMamone... Thanks heaps for the work on your roster file.

Am just loading it up now.. Seems to be working fine.

Ahhh.. start date = 04/10/06 perrrrrfect.

Cheers mate.

Dave

[miketheslummy]

great Job LMamone! Really!"

Thanks a lot!

[LMamone]

LMamone.. dude i am having real trouble following your instructions..

When you save the first league... the 'MNL' folder, do you then start a new league? Or load the MNL league?? I'm completely confused.

I can't get it to work.

If you need to start a new league, does the new league have to have the save name as the old league??

also..

where do you cut and paste the name.coa file?? To the main 'saves' folder? Very hard to understand your instructions.

-If you have a previous created game save, just delete the leaguename.pbb file(for example MNL.pbb).It is located in the save folder.
-Then cut and paste firstname_lastname.coa from C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\SAVES\MNL to C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\SAVES
-Try it that way, it should be working.

[LMamone]

By the way, if game crashes because of graphics, you may need to rename all graphic files(logos,banners,jerseys and courts) related to LAC, LAL and GSW.
Like losangelesR.gif, losangelesW.gif and oakland.gif to losangelesc.gif, losangelesl.gif and goldenstate.gif

[antigravity]

-If you have a previous created game save, just delete the leaguename.pbb file(for example MNL.pbb).It is located in the save folder.
-Then cut and paste firstname_lastname.doa from C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\SAVES\MNL to C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\SAVES
-Try it that way, it should be working.

Thanks mate.. second time around it worked...

Thanks again for your help

[LMamone]

No problem, enjoy it.

[antigravity]

BTW, think i've found the 2007 draft file from TPB

[LMamone]

Is it with real life players or fictional?

[antigravity]

Real life and i've just created a new thread for it...

Has Greg Oden and Durant etc.

It may need some updates as its a few months old, but its better than nothing!

[LMamone]

Great, ill try it out.Cheers.

[thony]

Thony can we have your rookie files too? Do they include the 2007 rookies?

Sure I can post my rookie files, but you guys have to understand that it was generated from TCB. It doesn't contain real players at all.

I myself would love to get a hold of a 2007 draft file with Kevin Durrant and Josh Mcroberts in the lineup. ;)

[orton1227]

I tried several times to follow the steps but everytime I try to create the league, after I click 'finish' I get a RTE 76 Path Not Found. I don't understand why this doesn't work. I've followed it perfectly over and over. Any ideas?

[orton1227]

Oh...so when you import your rosters you have to create a new league with the exact save name as your previous league? It worked...kind of...when i did that.

[mgsports]

Any chance you can post a Link to download here because I keep downloading it and nothing in the file meaning s_rosters.mdb. I'm using Stardownloader to download it and filezip to exact it.

[LMamone]

Try it without Download manager, im not sure rapidshare supprots it, cause you need to type in code to initiate download.

[mgsports]

That's the only way I can download it. So I guess I can't use your file and I would like to. Your 2007 Draft Pool File you have to pay for to Download but this one you don't have to why is that?

[antigravity]

You don't have to pay to download anything from Rapidshare... Sometimes you have to wait a minute before refreshing the download page (if you've recently downloaded another file).

[mgsports]

I can't even type in code to Download this file and I can for the Draft Pool File.

[LMamone]

I dont understand your problem.
PM me your mail, and ill send it you that way then...

[mgsports]

Don't try and download it if you hit the right button on Mouse and select Save As because it only save a link to the download Website for it and not the RAR file on your computer and it should.

[LMamone]

Well, i guess me and everyone else who successfully downloaded the file werent doing it the right way.Geez...
Open the link in the new tab or window, and it will lead you to the rapidshare download site.
Is it legal to do it that way?

[mgsports]

Save as for this file and your Speedy one should be the same as for your Draft Pick file meaning not save as a Link to Rapidshare Download Site but as a file already download and just needs to be Unziped to be used.
Can you post a code we have to use to download both of your Rosters that would help out?

[LMamone]

Dude, you have a file already.Ive mailed it to you since you cannot/wont comprehend that you cant use download manger when d'loading from rapidshare.Meaning no Save as..., you need to open the link in new window or new tab, then click on button named Free, then wait for 20-30 seconds, then type in the code and download the file.
And neither of Draft files posted around here are mine.

[mgsports]

I'm sorry it's giving me a Server Error on the file that you sent me. That's why I can't download it that way. I will try it the way you said. Nice to see an updated file. I knew the Draft Pick file wasn't made by you.

[rockets_man]

Ignore this

[mmartin68]

How do I get to October 4th:confused:

[LMamone]

Make sure you have 1.1.1 beta patch installed.
Just dump the file into import folder, start the game and when creating the league, check the import rosters box and select the file to import.

[chriskelly]

found a salary problem...Steve Francis.last year is in at 1.7M instead of $17M.

[rockets_man]

Hey thanks for the rosters they're great but it took me a long time to get them working. This is exactly what I did for those that are also having trouble:

1.You need to have the official DDS: Pro Basketball Beta Patch 1.0.2 installed.You can check your game version on the main menu screen.

2. Create a save game
Example:C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\SAVES\MNL

3. Delete the MLN.pbb file

4. Extract the s_rosters.mdb to your C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\imports folder.

5. Cut and Paste FirstName_LastName.coa file (ie John_Smith.coa) from your original save folder to C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\SAVES .

6. Create a new save game under the same name (ie MNL) when doing this choose to import rosters (s_rosters.mdb)

5.Run the game, and it should be working. You should be able to start the league on October 4th(prior to the Developmnent League Draft).

6.Extract the Owners folder to the C:\Program Files\Wolverine Studios\DDSPB\graphics\Owners.
It will ask you do you want to overwrite the default folder, click Yes.

7.If it still doesnt work, re-read these steps and try it again.

[LMamone]

Sorry for the lack of updates, but these steps were the only way to make it work before the 1.1.1 beta patch.
If you have 1.1.1 patch installed, then all you have to do is put rosters in import folder and start the new game.

[Gileyal]

I hope I don't come out like an idiot but its just too complicated for me. Lmamone - any chance you can release a pre-draft roster file to import with updated ratings for each player? I don't mind manually selecting the draft but I feel the current player ratings aren't my cup of tea.

If there is a way for me to do this I would be also grateful.

Thanks!

[LMamone]

Sorry, i'm not planning of doing the predraft rosters.Maybe i release roster with edited ratings, but its a too much job for me right now.
You can always use default database for starting the game before the Draft.
And you can edit ratings with MS Access or some other database editor.

[brleisure]

im sorry to bother any of you, i can't seem to get the file to show up when i click "import rosters". i downloaded the file, saved it in import, then started a new game. any help would be greatly appreciated.

[LMamone]

Well, did you extracted the file from the zip to the import folder, or did you just put the zipped file there?

[brleisure]

should i be able to see the actual files in that folder, if so that is my problem. its just a rar file and i cannot open it. sorry, im sure it gets old trying to explain this stuff to people. im probably not doing something right. i think i extracted the files but i cannot find them anywhere. thanks in advance.

[LMamone]

You need to use Winrar or Winzip or some similar program, and extract the rosters to import folder.
Not sure what you mean by cannot see file, do you mean you cant see it when you browse through the game directory folder, or when you click import roster option inside the game?

[brleisure]

i just meant i cannot see any files inside of the folder i saved to import.

[LMamone]

Like i said, you need to use aforementioned programs to unzip/unrar file to import folder.
If that doesnt work, i really have no idea.

[brleisure]

okay, i really appreciate your help. thanks alot.

[chriskelly]

great roster set. I did notice steve francis' salary is wrong in the last year (1.7M vs $17M), which i posted above. I'd fix and send back to you, but I don't have a database program. I'm not sure if any others are off, or if the latest version already has fixed this.

[LMamone]

Thanks.
Theres only one initial roster set, i havent done any updates after releasing the 1st version.
I'll fix it and reupload sometime soon, meanwhile guys you have a pretty large offer of free mdb editors across the internet, like here (http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/free-mdb-editor.html) for example.

[antigravity]

http://rapidshare.com/files/17008196/s_rosters.mdb.html

Here's the updated version of LMamone's roster, with Francis' contract fixed.
