v0.1.2
f28e4ce

Beta. Expect bugs. Windows 10/11 x64 only. Thanks to everyone who tried v0.1.1 and reported back.

What's new

  • Commentary no longer breaks when the window is hidden. On Windows 11, while the game's window was minimized or covered by another window, Windows slowed the game's timers down, and the commentator and PA could play wrong or broken lines for a while. The game now asks Windows not to do that.
  • See which saves are in use. Roster mods keep their own saves, so a season started with one roster never mixes with another. Switching mods could make your saves look gone. In the launcher, MODS now starts with SAVES IN USE (Normal, or the roster mods that are on); press it to open that save folder. Switching a roster mod on or off tells you that set has its own saves and the others stay saved. Nothing is ever deleted.
  • Sharper textures and anti-aliasing. The game's textures get mipmaps generated on load (cleaner at a distance), and there is a new ANTIALIASING option (VIDEO tab).
  • Bigger custom stadiums. Stadium packs up to 80 MB now load (about 21 MB before).
  • Blender stadium add-on 0.8.2 (powerpros_stadium-0.8.2.zip):
    • View in game: opens the game straight into the stadium you are making, with a free camera and the real match cameras. Key C draws the stadium's collision over the picture, coloured by kind, with a box per kind to show or hide it.
    • New stadium from scratch: build a stadium with no base stadium: each object gets a role (ground, stand, fence, crowd with the game's animated people, flags that move with the wind, transparent, glow). The game's bases, plate and mound come in place.
    • Collision by kind: fences, stands, foul poles, invisible walls… each in its own object, named and coloured, and Make collision turns any mesh into collision.
    • HD textures, menu photo, textures painted over plain faces kept, and several fixes.

Install / update

  1. Download MLB-Power-Pros-2008-Setup-v0.1.2.zip and unzip it into a folder of yours (not Program Files).
  2. Open MLBPowerPros2008-Setup.exe, press CHOOSE DISC and pick your copy (ISO, NKit, RVZ, WBFS, WIA, GCZ or CISO).
  3. Press INSTALL (about 4–5 minutes on a 12-thread CPU), then PLAY.

Coming from an older version? After installing, copy UserData\NAND and UserData\ModSaves (your saves) and the mods folder from the old MLB Power Pros 2008\Game folder into the new one, then delete the old install.

Known issues

  • Tested mainly on one PC (Ryzen 5 5500 + Radeon RX 5500).
  • New stadiums appear only in Exhibition.
  • Season mode still ends after 10 seasons (being worked on).
  • The game can occasionally hang at startup: close it and open it again.

If something goes wrong, please open an issue with your CPU, GPU and UserData\Logs\<latest>\console.log.

Beta. Puede tener errores. Solo Windows 10/11 de 64 bits.

Novedades:

  • El comentario ya no se rompe con la ventana oculta. En Windows 11, con la ventana del juego minimizada o tapada por otra, Windows frenaba los temporizadores del juego y el narrador y el locutor podían decir frases equivocadas o cortadas un rato. Ahora el juego le pide a Windows que no lo haga.
  • Qué partidas se están usando. Los mods de roster tienen sus propias partidas, para que una temporada empezada con un roster no se mezcle con otro. Al cambiar de mods podía parecer que tus partidas habían desaparecido. En el launcher, MODS empieza ahora con PARTIDAS EN USO (Normales, o los mods de roster activos); al pulsarla se abre su carpeta. Al activar o desactivar un mod de roster te avisa de que ese conjunto tiene sus propias partidas y de que las otras siguen guardadas. Nunca se borra nada.
  • Texturas más nítidas y antialiasing. Las texturas del juego reciben mipmaps al cargar (más limpias de lejos) y hay una opción nueva, ANTIALIASING (pestaña VIDEO).
  • Estadios propios más grandes: cargan packs de estadio de hasta 80 MB (antes, unos 21 MB).
  • Complemento de Blender 0.8.2 (powerpros_stadium-0.8.2.zip): «Ver en el juego» con cámara libre y las cámaras del partido (tecla C: la colisión del estadio por colores, con una casilla por tipo); estadios desde cero con un papel por objeto (público animado del juego, banderas con viento…); colisión por tipo, con nombre y color, y «Convertir en colisión» para cualquier malla.

Instalar o actualizar: descarga MLB-Power-Pros-2008-Setup-v0.1.2.zip, descomprímelo, abre MLBPowerPros2008-Setup.exe, elige tu disco y pulsa INSTALAR. Si vienes de una versión anterior: después de instalar, copia UserData\NAND y UserData\ModSaves (tus partidas) y la carpeta mods de la carpeta MLB Power Pros 2008\Game vieja a la nueva, y luego borra la instalación vieja.

Problemas conocidos: se probó sobre todo en una PC; los estadios nuevos solo salen en Exhibición; el modo Temporada sigue acabando a las 10 temporadas (en ello); a veces se cuelga al arrancar.
