Fix one players pic

[bwhansen]

I apologize if this is not posted in the proper place, but tech support didnt seem correct for this.

I created a 1961 historical league and downloaded the historical picture packs. I was looking thru the rosters for each team when I noticed that Bob Gibson (stl) had the pic for Bob Gibson (mil). I wanted to correct this so I recopied the 1959 pic of Bob Gibson (stl) to the player file and then updated the pics from the league options page. This didnt work of course so then I used the new pic button on the player profile page which gave him a fictional picture.

Is there any way to correct this? I really dont want to recreate the league as I've already put in considerable time into the league already but this would bug me immensely if I just left it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Rename the pic of the MIL Bob Gibson, Bob L. Gibson and then rename him when he comes into the league in the 80s. Add in the pic of Bob Gibson from StL to your ....saved_games/news/html/images folder.

Thank you very much, that worked out exactly the way I wanted it to.

The easiest way would be to use the in-game editor and change one of the Bob Gibsons name, hopefully it is something that won't bug you. To get to the editor go to manager>options and check commissioner mode. Then go to the player card you want to change and you will have a editor tab that will allow you to edit the player's name.

If it were me I'd rename the Mil. Bob Gibson (I wouldn't want to change a hall of famer) to one of the following...
Bob Gibson Sr.
Bob Gibson Jr.
Bob Gibson II

Then rename his picture Bob_Gibson Sr..png (or whatever name you choose).

Put a new StL Bob Gibson picture in your player photos named Bob_Gibson.png

The Mil. player will then use the Bob_Gibson Sr..png picture, and the hall of famer from StL. will use Bob_Gibson.png

When you're done changing names make sure you go back and turn off commissioner mode.

Hope that all makes sense

Looks like I was a little late with my long winded reply
