Just bought the game. How do I make player photos work?

jarget · 03-17-2003, 02:34 PM

I downloaded the 3000 or so pics for 2002 season and Batch Thumbs. How do I make the pics work in OOTP5. OOTP5 is looking for a number bitmap?????

Thanks

After saving the pictures as .BMP (bitmap) and copying them into the PHOTOS directory, go to Advanced League Options and on the right hand side, press the Enable Player Photos button. That should do the trick

Yeah I got the pics and that button stuff but it is looking for a different photo. A numbered photo.

Same here, it looks for a numberd photo .. not a name photo.

The game will find the picture by either number ("p124.bmp" for example) or by name ("john_doe.bmp").

well how do you get it to search name?

Henry · 03-17-2003, 04:00 PM

If your photos are already named like "john_doe.bmp" and in the "photos" directory of your league, then you can enable the photos on the league setup screen.

This is also covered in the game manual.

the .bmp files have to be named either p136.bmp (players ID number) or blow_joe.bmp (or is it joe_blow.bmp ? I forget and am at work so cant check)

It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
