Instructions for Installing Cricket 2005 Patch Files: PLEASE READ!!!

[bharat]

This is a edited version of f0bstyle's instructions.

Installation Instructions:

There are two ways to import the kits & other patches into your game.
The easier way is to extract the zip file into your game directory.
For example:
X:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\EA SPORTS Cricket 2005.
and not into X:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\EA SPORTS Cricket 2005\data.
and not C:\My Documents\EA Sports\EA SPORTS Cricket 2005

The other way is to open the data_pc.gob file in the data folder with biggui and import the files into the gob. THE FILES MUST BE COMPRESSED, SO USE THE COMPRESS BUTTON ON BIGGUI. I have not imported the kits like this, so I do not know if the game will crash or not. If you do this method, back up your cricket_pc.gob file.

For installing pitch-ads & other files in bmp format:

You can find the list of pitch files here
Extract them using BigGUI or EAGraph into your Cricket 2005 root directory.

Open the extracted fsh file in FshEd.
For importing pitch-ad click on ptad.See pic:

Now Click Object->Import or Ctrl+I
This window shows up:

Click on New & select the bmp file to import.
After selecting click update:

Now Click File->Save to save the file.Give the name of the fsh eg: 0ce83d1bd97d73f5eed69ec9529a53f5.fsh & save it to your Cricket 2005 folder.

It's good that you made another thread of this. I didn't know in the beginning either how to insert it, although I know how to do it with Cricket 2004.

F:/Games/EA Cricket 2005/data/dvd/
(and the folders are)
Audio
Motion
attep.vp6
data_xbox.gob
eaep.vp6
eaglrm.o
xsellep.vp6

Does PC version have the same stuff?

 

[bharat]

there is no DVD folder for the PC version & also the gob is called data_pc.gob & not data_xbox.gob
You can find from where files are used by the game through filemon.

I tried importing India kit in F:/Games/EA Cricket 2005/data/dvd/ but that didn't work. Kit was still the same in the game.

BTW what's filemon? I did google but there were way too many results....how will i make filemon work on xbox?
