Minor issue but I dread it every year.

highandoutside · 03-19-2007, 08:10 AM

Will I have toggle back and forth attempting figure out the coordinates for player positions in the ballparks I import? Is there any easier way? Perhaps publishing a coordinates map would make this task less time consuming.

ihatenames · 03-19-2007, 08:13 AM

I'm pretty sure you can just drag the player positions now. I'll double check to make sure..

Muppetus Galacticus · 03-19-2007, 08:14 AM

You can move them around in-game now.

It's this kind of teamwork that will win out in XCOM

Well, I am impressed. This is hardly a very important issue, but it is nice to see this cleaned up.

XCOM: UFO Defense on PS2...Best game ever..to me anyway.

Gastric ReFlux · 03-19-2007, 09:07 AM

Good development. It'll make putting our own layouts and stadium pictures in the game a whole lot easier.

RchW · 03-19-2007, 09:31 AM

Also remember that pictures can be on or off. This will be helpful if you use a small or non-standard park layout.

Maybe not the best, but without doubt an excellent one.

Is the ability to import/export ballparks in 2007? Being able to bring in ballparks similar to how you could in 6.5 would also be a huge help in league set-up/migration. Being able to import 6.5 ballparks and convert them to 2007 similar to how you could import OOTP 5 ballparks and update them to 6.x would be super huge. Do you think the promise of a case of Grolsch would grease the wheels with Markus any?

Mgom27, is that you?

God, I loved that game on the PC.

There's the classic example of a game whose subsequent versions never lived up to the potential of the original.

Very sad.

eriqjaffe · 03-19-2007, 12:28 PM

Do the drag & drop positions snap to any sort of a grid? Or is it completely free-form?

Free form.

Actually, I thought it was very important. I'd campaigned for this since OOTP4, and it was one of the first things I wanted added in OOTP2k7.

Still have X-com installed on my computer!!!

Masters of Orion is my example. MOO2 was a Civilization rip-off, and I'm told MOO3 was even worse (though that's difficult to imagine).

billethius · 03-22-2007, 09:24 PM

I loved MOO2 - though I bought it shortly after getting into CivII so that might explain why I liked it so much. MOO3 was terrible.
