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.
