1993 & Beyond Roster Set

[attackemu]

Well, the only issue I've found with this one is the fact that MLB's in three divisions instead of two, but that's easy enough to ignore.

Well, I don't like stadium sets that don't use a standard diamond configuration, and I used the 1987 Hybrid logo set because to me it's a much better set. This is just me putting icing on a very nice cake.

Great minds think alike, I started on one this morning. I'll have it done by tomorrow.

That was intentional so that future expansion/realignment, etc would be easier.

Great set Doc. Any way you could be talked into doing a set for the
1979 or 1980 seasons?

Certainly is an option although I am going to wait a month or so and see what OOTP7 (or whatever you want to call it) is all about. If I like the game then I will probably put my roster making efforts into that version of the game.

Glad you enjoy the 1993 file!

I think 1980 would be a nice addition to the family.

I want to add stadiums to my league.

What I want is to keep Cowboys3356's park ratings while adding a nice set of stadium graphics with functioning coordinate sets.

Is this possible? I've been messing with park.dat and parkconfig.dat, but it seems like I can't have both. The actual set doesn't matter to me-- Ankit's is fine, or a real-world set.

If it isn't possible to do what I want, can anyone recommend to me a stadium set with ratings that compliment this roster set? I don't want anything that will make the finely tuned and tested player ratings irrelevant.

Its kind of a pain but all you have to do is change the path to the stadium picture you want to use in the graphics folder (Ankit or whatever) under the league setup screen for each stadium. Once you do this you can plug in the coordinates for that set and set them for all stadiums. Hope that makes sense.

[Sudy Nym]

Hmm, changing file paths/renaming photos I'm fine with doing-- I mean, it's a chore, but I've done it plenty of times before.

The trouble is... actually, I misread your post. You're right, I could do it with a set like Ankit's, where the coordinates are the same across all images. That's a good idea. Wouldn't work with real images, though.

Cowboys3356, were you using ballpark images? I assume this isn't quite as important to you, seeing the plain but original coordinate settings that came with the league.

Yeah I don't plan on doing anything with the stadium photos. I guess I don't pay much attention to the photos and think more about the "ratings" of the stadiums. However as posted above you can change the photos without changing the ratings so you should be good. I will try to find some more "exciting" stadium photos for future mod sets!

I've already done that in the tuned version mentioned above. It has the beveled logos from the 1987 set and color stadiums.

Is this something that's been made available for others?

[Malleus Dei]

No, it has not.

I also added historical manager tendencies.

I'm enjoying the Hell out of it.

We need to get together on a roster set once the next version of OOTP comes out!

Erm, how helpful of you to mention it, then?

Anyway, I wound up doing what deuelz suggested.

I retired from mod making.

But I would certainly be willing to help out an old pal on a project of his.

I'm often informative but rarely helpful.

Once the next version gets all of the bugs sorted out I will take you up on that for sure!

In the readme it says that a rookie set or file or something has been included in the file. How do I handle importing RL rookies for the ammy draft at the end of my season? Use Ankits?
