Stadium Photo Question

[tmcconnell463]

I am starting my historical league in 1972 with full minor leagues and am implemented as much reality into it as possible including actual minor league affiliations, nicknames, logos and stadium info/pics.

I have found a great deal of information especially with Gambo's Stadium Chart. I have also found a couple pics of stadiums (mostly low A Ball) that were not included with Gambo's files and was wondering what size these pics need to be when uploading them into the game?

If someone else knows this, it will save me a post when I am ready, but I am wanting to use the player database that has the players when they are in the minors instead of first appearance in major leagues. I cant remember which player database that is and how I go about loading it. Any help there would be appreciated as well.

Thanks

The stadium pics should be 640 x 480, and here is a good link for what you may be looking for.

How do I get these pics to show up in my historical game? When I play games I get a generic stadium. I'm in 1962 and the field dimension listed for the Polo Grounds don't match the real dimensions.

I downloaded the file and have the pics in the ballparks folder (under My Docs)

You have to edit ballpark and change the picture names and coordinates.
The game downloads the basic ballpark factors but not the dimensions.

BTW in my (if your using them) set the Polo Grounds picture is Polo Grounds IV D.jpg or Polo Grounds IV N.jpg

That might be the league set up I will end up going with once I have played around with a few test games. Would there be a way I could get ahold of your template settings for that league and/or stadium/logos/etc ? One of the daunting thing about moving from OOTP 5 to 2007 is the shear amount of extra work it is to add logos and the like too all of these extra leagues and I wouldn't mind using someone else's work setting things up as at least a starting point.

Great, thank you. Can someone refresh my memory on where I DL this to again. I will likely figure it out, but if someone can post the answer it may save me some time.


Thanks

Nevermind, the read me file explained it and I think I have it figured out.
