More Player Background Images

[Honorable_Pawn]

I stopped uploading these on around page 6 so if you want to the whole set just PM me and I'll email it to you.



I know that we have quite a few of these already but it doesn't hurt to have more. In my opinion the background image is a big part of players being differentiated and to increase immersion. Anyway, I am going to create various sets of 5. The original goal was 25 but I enjoy putting these together so much I'm going to shoot for 100. These are not designed to replace the ballpark images that alot of us use but, rather, to supplement them. As always any requests or suggestions (for a set of 5) will be fullfilled the best I can.

There may be people who are not sure how to get these to work in-game so here are the instructions to get them to work:

1. Shut down OOTP
2. Copy and paste these images in this path: OOTP-->facegen-->background
3. Restart the game.
4. Make sure you turn on "allow background images" in the global settings tab.



I have uploaded all of these background images to MediaFire for easier download. Simply follow the underlined link below to get the set that you want.

How to best utilize decade-specific backgrounds:

If you are playing in the 1920's make sure you have a folder in the background images folder that is only for 1920's stuff. Once you advance your league, let's say to the 1930's then you remove the 1920's folder and replace with your 1930's folder ad infinitum. OOTP will remember the background for each player when the player image was first generated. So as long as you rotate out the background folder every 10 years you will always have a nice mixture.

If anyone is willing to contribute please just post away. I only ask that you please decade-date your images so I can get them in the correct era. It looks like I'm going to start with the 40's. The idea is at least 100 per era. If you are comfortable with photoshop (or something else) this really wont take too long as these are pretty easy. We can knock this out no problem if we come together.

That's it for tonight. That was so much fun I'm going to do 5 more sets of 5 tomorrow.

These are cool, these I will use. I hated the stadium backgrounds of parks that dont exist in my league and i hate the blue background sometimes.

I tried real hard to keep these as neutral as possible. Especially the autograph ones...they were tough to find. I'm sure you do this already but if interested I could take care of some league specific stuff for you.

These look really cool... I'm not a huge fan of FG backgrounds but I will definitely look into these.

These are excellent for my 2013-? fictional league, not so much for my 1946-? historical league. OOTP really needs to make backgrounds saved game-specific. Might suggest that for 15, unless somebody knows a way to do it now...

[le receveur]

these are great. great idea also. thanks...(also thank you for the instructions)....




and even if you couldn't care less, Full Credit to H.Pawn for teaching me something new to focus on instead of actually playing the game :-)

I'll be more than happy to put together era specific backgrounds. Let me know what you want.

As far as era's changing the idea is similar to Sim City 4. Each city that I have I have a different folder for mods. What I do is drop the mods that I am using for each specific city in to the mod folder. I work that city, take screenshots, and restart the game when I want to work a different city. Then I remove the mod folder for the city I was working and replace with the mod folder for the city that I am going to work next.

The idea is the same with OOTP. Simply have an era specific background folder and use it. When eras start to change change the background folder.

Anyway...yes, this set that I started with is definitely modern.
