An online league of mine uses day/night photos for ball parks. In order to enhance the replay feature, we decided to make accurate picture and ball locations for each park's night photo.

Originally, I was sending the commissioner these coordinates via .xls so he could input them into the game. Both park pictures were showing up with no problems.

In order to save us both some time, I suggested to him that I could make the edits to the file via drag and drop. I was sent the parks.dat file and copied it over to a newly created league. I made the edits and sent him back the file. The file is displaying all of the changes to the coordinates I made, but now the night photos are missing.

I had to change each park's day picture to the night picture in order to make the edits, but I changed them all back before sending him the file. He has verified that each park has a separte path to day and night photos.

We have since tried to go back to the original process, by copying over the original parks.dat file. We have run two sims with the original park file that includes only edits made by him in-game, and the night photos are still not showing up.

What is really puzzling about this, is that I can copy the parks.dat file from our league over to any created league, and the day/night photos, and the edited coordinates show up just fine in any of those leagues.

This issue is only for the online league.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
