does anyone know where is this file located in the new game. I have the updated one from PadreFan's site but I can't find where to put it in game.

In my OOTP 2007 it is located in the league folder. For example:

My Documents\Sports Interactive\OOTP Baseball 2007\data\saved_games\leaguename.lg\

I would assume it is somewhere like that in OOTP9, but obviously the Sports Interactive directory is probably renamed.

YES!!!!!

Thank you.

I was looking under the data folder and even in the program file location but I forgot about the save folder - and Vista and MS useless search wasn't helping.

Giants, I put the instructions in the Readme that came with the download. You've got me worried now that my instructions weren't clear. Is that the case?

no, it is in there I just double checked.

and I actually did read the readme file which is shocking, but I had wordwrap turned off in notepad so the readme looked like one line and that line didn't have the information.

Something else must be done or am I stupid

I have placed the ballparks in the ballpark folder.
Started a new quickstart game.

After that I lloked in edit ballparks and found out that I still had to manually get all the pictures into the game.
OK, but all the balllocations were wrong.

I took the park.dat file from your zipfile and put in the league folder, overwriting the one that was created with all similar ball locations.
Fenway really looked crazy....

I saved the game and started again.
The ballparks I had fixed with pictures wrigley, fenway and HH looked nice BUT the ball animation are truly wrong.

I also found out that I had to work some with the weather.
I only reimported the weather database and hurrah no chance of rain inside HH.

WHAT WRONG WITH MY PARK.DAT file.
I also tried action/assign ball-coordinates also reset coordinates.
Nothing changed.

CORRECTED I was stupid or messed up , too eager to get started or whatever
I finished the game deleted the old park.dat and inserted the PadresFan park.dat file again, then started up the game AND Eureka ALL LOOKS CORRECT......

Uhh, league parity?

HercMighty · 06-19-2008, 10:40 AM

They are all open air and grass also. Do these settings affect outcomes?

CardinalsFan · 06-19-2008, 04:54 PM

I have adjusted (you gotta love wikipedia) the padresfan's parks.dat for:

capacity
retractable roofs, domes, field turf
dimensions and walls

Does this save this to my saved_games parks.dat file? If so here it is. Let me know of any changes (wall heights were guesstimates unless specific information was available).

If a certain someone had unchecked the "Show your signature" box when he posted his replies, this whole thread could have been 1/3 shorter.
