How do you use .tpf (TexMod) files with Madden 08?


TexMod is a simple executable that can be found by searching Google for "Texmod."

What it does is replace a graphic that the game's programming is expecting to be at a particular memory address with a custom graphic.

If you download it and open up texmod.exe you will see that it is self-explanatory.

(While in Package Mode) at the top select "mainapp.exe", and then browse for the .tpf files, and hit "Run."

Hey! I'm new to the madden modding community, The Calhoupe modding system isn't working for me. When I try and open the mainapp.exe (I've tried the original that came with the game and the Removed version like Calhoupe recommends on his post) and I get "The game is not able to start properly. Please reinstall your game". Anybody have any tips on how to get it running?

My first suggestion is to, well, reinstall the game.
But does it work without the scripts?

If I write a guide on how to play Madden online, would you include it here?

If it's well written and includes all relevant information, sure.

OK, I'll probably get it done by next Wednesday.

Hey guys! I want to thank you guys for making all of this possible. I'm pretty new to PC Madden, but not to modding (I dabbled a bit with some of the old NBA Live games back in the day) and I want to say it's really cool to see an active community patching up a 9 year old game and keeping it up to date. Thanks for all the mods, and this guide is super helpful too!

One thing that might be helpful is for you to provide links to all the "Microsoft NET Framework" stuff.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, no one trying to install the mods in this guide would be such a noob that they couldn't even figure out how to install the Microsoft .NET Framworks... :lol:
