New Year, New Hack (sorta)

[Craig341]

I just decided to kill about an hour of time and see what can be hacked in RBI3. After a little bit of work, I made a hack of the hitters only for the Cardinals (nobody's done work on the pitchers yet, so....)

Major thanks to JerryD; I needed some 2004 player ratings, and his had 'em; hope that's OK.

One problem seems to be that taking ratings straight from RBI1 to RBI3 is that RBI1 stats are more "enhanced" than RBI3's, and another (can be fixed in a matter of seconds; just laziness on my part right now ) is Eckstein's pulling an '87 Detroit Alan Trammell with the glitched homer. That will be fixed.

If someone on here could look at the pitchers ratings in the ROM, we could figure that out and then hack that. I know an RBI3 Editor is out of the question

Here's a pic of the updated lineup:

There's some information about pitcher data in that thread. I can throw together a table to help you edit ERAs.

That should be all the information you need for pitcher ERAs in RBI3 (which still make no fucking sense at all). For example, the line "1.36= 25 (19 hex)" means that to give a pitcher an ERA of 1.36, you'd use the value 25 (which is 19 in hexadecimal) in that pitcher's ROM data.

I just checked out the ERA table, out of curiosity - that makes perhaps the least sense of any computer-related thing I have ever seen.  I realize that they have only so much room to store the data.  I guess, 60 teams, each with 10 pitchers... it adds up, and this way they only need to store the values that they actually use.  They at least could've put the values in order, though; this is really random.
