TBL: Facepack Year Updater Broken

Iceman90 · Post by **Iceman90** » Mon May 17, 2010 12:02 am

I love the facepack year updater. Great idea.

However, the feature seems to be broken.

I took this image as a test: A.J._Thelen_11_3_1984.jpg and wanted to change it to A.J._Thelen_11_3_1986.jpg

Once I ran the -2 year bat file, the image got renamed to this:

A.J._Thelen_11_3_1998.jpg2002012

I just wanted to point this out so whoever is in charge of that feature can fix it.

This should be fixed by adding an _ in front of each number in the batch file (ie. from *1981.* to *_1981.*).

I tried that earlier too. It gives me a filename of this: A.J._Thelen_11_3_2012.jpg

Archi says that some things wouldn't work because of the new site. Just wait a couple of days.

The only bug(?) I have is at '1981 to 1980' and '1971 to 1970'. Example: "Derek_Meech_21_4_1981980.jpg" This is only happen somtimes and its easy and fast to fix, so it's no biggie. Great feature, much better then removing x year on your own. Thanks.

What has this to do with it at all?

It's basically my DOB updater tool. I'm glad to inspire you, Archi

My MacBook's hard drive disk crashed last week and I lost everything in it - including for example Challenge #17 data and also all of the facepacks I had downloaded. As it was a heck of a work to change the DOB's of the packs semi-manually, I just thought to ask if anyone knows any way of changing them in Mac like the way it is done with this updater? I have File List app, but don't know any other way to use it than change the years one by one in every pack.

What if someone writes a tool that allows you to edit the file names BACKWARD (Eg cards for lidas for use with no DOB change)?

I would find use for that kind of tool because I don't play with Lidas' updates.

Done! Stay tuned for mods approval

The archive consists of 6 files:
update_plus_1.bat
update_plus_2.bat
update_plus_3.bat
update_plus_4.bat
update_minus_1.bat
update_minus_2.bat
update_minus_3.bat
update_minus_4.bat

These are scripts for PC that can be ran in \data\pictures\players\ or \data\pictures\nonplayers\ folder. It changes every year of birthdate by one, two or three years, depending on which script you run.

update_plus_1.bat is to be used for transition between Lidas1.3 to Lidas2.0 roster.
update_plus_2.bat is to be used for transition between original db to Lidas1.3 roster.
update_plus_3.bat is to be used for transition between original db to Lidas2.0 roster.
update_plus_4.bat is to be used for transition between original db to Lidas3.0 roster.

update_minus_x.bat files can be used in opposite way (backward).

Sorry for such a newb question but I can't seem to get this to work, I have copied the update_plus_1 bat file into the pictures folder, ran it but nothing changes. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

What OS do you guys use? I'm not sure it can work on non-Windows machines correctly.
Do other sctipts run fine (update_plus_2.bat ...)?

I use Windows Vista and none of them are working, !
