Hey guys,
I had a big breakthrough today which will blow Rugby 08 and Rugby 06 wide open so you can play any mod you desire at any time without overwriting other mods.
Up to this point, we have only managed to be able to play one mod at a time, so MUP users can't use another patch like Air NZ Cup, Currie Cup or Sanzar because they overwrite the files (unless you have figured this already)
But now, here is an easy way to play all the mods. I am looking into a .bat file to make more of an install type thing rather than manual, but what we will do below is what the .bat will do, i just haven't made it yet.
So, here is how to do it..
BEFORE YOU START ANYTHING, make a backup of your directory. Put it on a CD or something secure and safe. I will not be responsible for files being overwritten/damaged/lost if you do not.
1. Copy the Audio, Data and Support files from the main directory EA Sports Rugby 08 to a new folder.
2. Then copy the files from whichever mod you want into that folder, lets say MUP for example. You only need the patched files
3. Make a quick notepad file or blank folder with the name of the patch (MUP), so if you go into the directory, it will tell you what the files are. It's best put at the top of the page so you can see it.
4. Rename the original directory with an extra letter to something like EA Sports Rugby 08x
5. Rename the new folder you just made to the default directory name EA Sports Rugby 08.
6. Play the game and load roster, in this case MUP. The game will only load a directory called EA Sports Rugby 08. So simply, if you have a directory called EA Sports Rugby 08 it will load it by default, the point being is that you can add patches into it.
You can repeat this trick as many times as you like, but obviously it will use more memory.
So it works like this..
Make 3 other directories and label them.
EA Sports Rugby 08a
EA Sports Rugby 08b
EA Sports Rugby 08c
EA Sports Rugby 08d
You have 4 directories. a= MUP, b= sanzar, c= s14, d= default game
Simply take away the letter from the directory you want to play with to use it.
I highly recommend labelling a notepad file inside the directories which will tell you what one it is, so you could just have a notepad file with MUP, SANZAR, S14 and ORIG in their respective directories.
Eventually .bat files will fix this manual issue and it'll do all this automatically when you click on a .bat file.
