This version is easier to install as it's 1-step download + 3-step install !
It's also really smaller : 415MB vs 595GB for the original file, while containing bonus content.
You need Tennis Elbow 2013 v1.0d (or above) to make it all work !

The repack contains :
- Final version (with Davis Cup, Wimbledon & Classic Mods)
- Sound Packs from v1.1 (they were not in the final version anymore !?!)
- Countries fix for French / Spanish / Italian languages (it means only these languages & English work, other languages won't work because of wrong country codes)
- missing net fix by Nigogu
Bonus content :
- New Hairs from TE2013 v1.0d
- Racket String choice (you have to rename "male.ini" to "male-nostring.ini" and then rename "male[string-choice].ini" to "male.ini" in "Mods\Sam Megapatch 2013\Data\Pak05.pak\data\models\textures" to activate it)
- Glasses are also transparent on Mac/Linux
So here the install instructions :
1- download this .rar file : https://mega.nz/#!sgsTxQpJ!fnwNtyvRazru ... jVNb2VxiW8
2- on a clean TE installation, copy everything in the .rar to your Tennis Elbow folder, overwriting Mods.ini and merging the Mods subfolder with the existing one, like on this picture :
3- on Windows, launch "Sam MegaPatch 2103 - UnpackSound.bat" to unpack sound FX (on Mac/Linux, there's no need, the game can load .ogg files)
clean = no mod installed outside of the "Mods" subfolder, and no Sam Mega Patch installed in the "Mods" subfolder
If you installed the Mod correctly, you'll get this file like this :
- with the Mana Games Windows version : C:\Program Files (x86)\Tennis Elbow 2013\Mods\Sam Megapatch 2013\Data\Players.ATP.ini
- with the Mana Games Mac version : Documents/Tennis Elbow 2013/Mods/Sam Megapatch 2013/Data/Players.ATP.ini
- with the Steam version : <SteamFolder>\SteamApps\common\Tennis Elbow 2013\Mods\Sam Megapatch 2013\Data\Players.ATP.ini
4- To get photo-realistic courts : (needed step as 3D courts are not supported by SamPatch)
- Launch the game & in "Video" options, set "Details" to "Very Low" (so it'll remove the extra line judges & umpire) & "3D Court" to "off"
- to remove the judges, you can also Press F9 during the match (Windows version only)
Updating players outfits during the season:
- check official Sam Megapatch Topic : https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic29-11173.php
How to launch the game :
- normally, and you'll get Sam MegaPatch 2013
- by double-clicking on Mods-Sam2013-DavisCup.bat before playing a Davis Cup match
- by double-clicking on Mods-Sam2013-Wimbledon.bat before playing a Wimbledon match (no need to change Outfit code)
- by double-clicking on Mods-Sam2013-Classic.bat to play in Classic era (~2004)
- without Mod (to play online), double-click on Tennis Elbow - No Mod.bat
For Mac / Linux :
- I think .bat won't work, so you have to rename Mods.ini to Mods-Normal.ini and then rename either Mods-Sam2013-DavisCup.ini or Mods-Sam2013-Wimbledon.ini to Mods.ini, and then launch the game normally (or maybe you can create some sort of batch file for your OS)
- once done with Davis Cup / Wimbledon, rename Mods.ini to either Mods-Sam2013-DavisCup.ini or Mods-Sam2013-Wimbledon.ini, and then rename Mods-Normal.ini to Mods.ini, and then launch the game normally
Sound selection :
- edit Mods.ini and then add a "," and then add one of the Sound folder to the "Load" line ; for example, it'll give :
- Code: Select all
Load = Sam Megapatch 2013, Sam Megapatch 2013 - Sounds AO
Bug fixed :
- some courts had too big textures
- some animations were not converted for Mac/Linux
That's all, enjoy and thanks to Sam to have created such patch !
