[Steve04]

If so links would be appreciated!

it's not so hard don't worry

create a bat file with only this simple text :

blotch00 saves Carter,Vince pp 0VICARTE.fsh
blotch00 saves Carter,Vince ir T
blotch00 saves Carter,Vince ic F
blotch00 saves Carter,Vince co 4

the structure is always the same : last name,first name to let the program recognize the player. So the program will change it to EVERY player who has this name in the database to every savegames in your save folder (that created problem about a Smurly patch with another Michael Jordan, not the great one but a role player)
If the name can't work (ie Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje or Michael "Not his airness" Jordan, or only changing a legend orall star player) use the player id. you'll find it in the first row on the left of the player last name.
Use a dbf editor to find the player id (excel, cdbf, nba live toolkit, db commander...)

then you use the commands :
pp 0VICARTE.fsh will change the fsh link of the player. So the player face will be "0VICARTE.fsh" located in your folder "art\ingame\players\update"

lp 1VICARTE.fsh is the same for portraits, files generally that began with a "1"

ir T , well I forgot but use it for a created player with generic cyberface with now a designated one.

ic F : puts "iscreated" option to false, same as above, don't forget it or this won't work

co 1 changes the color. Use a value from 0 to 5, 5 being the darkest

well i hope i was clear i'm tired so my english ain't so good but if there are some points you didn't understand tell me i'll answer you.

btw the best thing to learn with blotch is to look at bat files in other patchs. get some files on alexsite and look on the bat file. you'll learn a lot

good luck
