I've been wanting to contribute something to the roster community, but I don't have nearly enough time to edit rosters. So I took some time this weekend to begin to develop an application area of dire need here: offline roster loads.
How many times in a roster thread do you see people asking how to access the file without PSN/XBOX Live? How many times have YOU gone through the rehash/resign process just to come up with a damaged file? I think I have the solution to prevent people from spending countless hours searching for files and trying to load them just to have them fail.
I call my application AutoModio, though I plan to support PS3 as well. It allows you to select your gaming system, the game you play, and your desired file. The program then reaches out to an external server, grabs the file, and also downloads a script to automate the rehash/resign process. The beauty of this is that there will never be an issue with misnaming of files, and the automation process reduces rehash/resign times to under 2 minutes. For those people who have just joined the site for rosters and who are not familiar with the Modio process, my program makes life without Live or PSN as simple as clicking a few buttons.
Right now I have the program working for Madden 12 on the 360, and it is able to load up Broncofans 2013 roster file flawlessly on my home computers. It has taken me some time to develop this, and I just wanted to check and see if there would be any interest here before I begin implementing the NCAA 12/13 portions and Madden draft class files. Is this something that offers value? If it is, I will continue. If not, please tell me so I don't waste more time on it. Honest opinions appreciated. Thanks!
