Park Effect Resource?

dickbaveta · 06-04-2006, 08:01 PM

I was wondering if their are any resources available for historical park effects. I have searched everywhere and only come up with the BBREF basic hit/pit number. I was looking for something with some more detail...any ideas?

What I'd really like is an Excel version of the park.dat that have been available for previous versions of OOTP...

hear f'in hear! Been trying to do this all weekend. THe closest I've come to is stadium dimensions, but I don't ahve wall heights throughtout the parks history. I've already got the Park Range calculator that someone (Sorry I forget who) did up.

Most of the resources above, which I had already been to, have the wall height calculations. I also have the park effects calc, but is there anyone who can tell me what the Turf and Foul columns are supposed to be used for?

Park Effects

"Attached is a spreadsheet (rename from .txt to .xls) that creates the factors based on distances, wall heights, turf (use -5 to +5, -5 would be tall grass +5 Astroturf), how well ball carries (so make it like 10 for high altitude, probably -5 for park where wind always blowing in, etc) and foul territory (-5 large foul grounds +5 small)."

A couple more links:

Decent data on 75 past/present parks (originially for OOTP2

) Includes historical changes by year, even for minor dimensions changes.

Chronological park changes (including capacities) BUT doesn't include any figures

. Also details Name changes, ID changes required etc.
