Chugging along here. A lot of data I am setting up in here. Here is the way it is going to work.

You install and run my program and you will be shown all of the teams that played between 1901 and 2006. You click on a team name and another window will list all of the years that team played and what ballpark they played at. You click on a year and it will then download from my server the proper ballpark for that team and year.

Then if you click on USE BALLPARK, it will prompt you for a file name and you click save and it copies it over to the ballpark folder. Now the key here is for you to name it something short and to the point, so you can then change the settings in the game for this team to use this ball park. You can have 2, night and day.

So, maybe save Fenway as Fenway D, or save Fulton County Stadium as Fulton D. Now, the secret is to have both the OOTP game running and also my progam and alt tab between the two of them. (Make sure you hit ENTER after typing in the ballpark name in OOTP)

Now if you just wanted to change the default ballpark, you can hit that button and it will copy this picture over as default_grass.jpg, which is what all teams have as their default ballpark picture.

You can optionally download the 50-60 meg worth of pictures and not have to access my server to get them.

So far, only a few teams from the early 1900s have no parks. Some of the early ones are very crappy looking. If you find a better picture of a park to use, please send it to me. Please have it resized to the correct size. The idea is to have my program build the best collection of parks.

Minor league parks and fictional parks to come later.

SO far I am still setting up the ballpark database and I am in the C's, which is about 1/2 way done. Those Boston and Chicago teams were a bitch to do. After I get database done, then I write the code to let you save it and name it. Add the download options and it will go live. I estimate that I will have it before the weekend arrives, but I can never tell.
