2011 MLB High Res Photos

[Bigrod]

NOTE:2/1/12
Due to the FBI closure of Megaupload, the links are no longer valid. As soon as I finish with 2012 rosters, I'll get these upped to the new OOTP Mods site.
Old links in Post #11
7/18: Here's a new link for the JPG photos...They are now named correctly and in lower case format for Linux users. They are in separate team folders so you'll have to copy the photos from the folders to your game\data\photos folder and not the saved games.......images folder.
NOTE: Macs use a different location. Not sure what that is..

Updating is underway finally...Here's the First of 30. These are not in Separate Folders and include, Coaches, GM, Owner and trainer pics. I'll post the links as they are ready.

The png link is still in post #11

These are high quality 2011 MLB Opening day 40 Man roster photos 170x255 which work perfectly in the game. They will be automatically resized where necessary with no loss of quality..look great on the players profile page. I only use real photos and needed something that would look great in BB cards that's why they are larger in size. Here's an example of the actual size, how it looks on the player profile page and how it looks with the all new ootp12 BB Card which look much better in the game. The blurriness is because it gets converted to jpg when I attach it here:

only thing r u going to keep updating when a player gets traded??or new player comes up?? THEY LOOK GREAT!!! r u doing other players triple a double a?? thanks cheech411

I would do minors but I can't get the png photos for them. Eventually, once I'm done with beta I'll have the usual 90x135 ones that you can get at milb.com. I can only get the high quality ones for the 40 man MLB rosters. Yes I'll update when players get traded, but can only do it if espn does...BTW, if anyone wants to get these themselves, there at ESPN in png 350x254 format. You just have to crop them to the correct width (170x255) and convert to jpg to get em to work right in game..I use Paint.net.

Those are awesome. I would definitely use those.

They can be high-res or standard res, but is anyone working on a 2011 facepack?

[Buster Narum]

Just messing around with backgrounds - I didn't de-fringe it (Is there a way to D/L without picking up any background?)

[cheech411]

i like dugout view the best!!!

[skunkle333]

Excellent work.

[Bigrod]

Yes there will be a 2011 facepack..we're working on it now..both MLB and MILB. I'm hoping to have the MLB done the end of this week. Not sure how soon the Minors will ready as we still have roster work to do as well.

Buster..you can get the pics at espn with transparent background .just load the team 40 man roster page, click on the players name, then click on the players pic and then save as..it's png format. I don't know what graphics program your using, but in paint.net there is no background. I just have to crop the pic so it fits the 170x255 background so it looks right in the game. Or if you want to wait...I'm also releasing them in layered format..if someone wants. Most likely psd format as paint.net can use those as well with a plugin which I have if someone wants. Works great.

Thanks - I'll wait for the layered format files. That's great that you are making those available.

Thanks

Sorry for the long delay, but I finally have em all done in 170x255 jpg format with background...twice as large as the ones usually available. And for those of you that don't want them with a background..I'll need a couple more days to sort out and upload them in png format with the transparent background so you can do your own. These are completely up to date 40 man rosters including Coaches as of yesterday 5/4/2011. Here's some more examples.

Yep they do. thanks for reminding me, and as soon as espn updates him, I'll post it. There was 1 other that I still need to get as well,
Mets-Ronny Paulino (He's in the pack, but not the best photo)
Till I can get a better Brett with Texas, Hope this will help.

[Buster Narum]

Thanks bigrod - they look great!

I'll be waiting for the transparent ones too.

Thx

Gonna have a big update soon, now that I know all the players I need to complete the 2011 set. It'll be about another 150 pics give or take. Also need to add bench coaches, but that's gonna take awhile. Once all is done, I'll get it posted to Padresfan's site. For those that have already dl'd, I'll up just an update set so you don't have to dl everything again.
Thanks

exactly when I started working on rosters,,,then beta ,then another and another..minors was collected by someone else and he was only missing a couple, so I saw no sense in doing it...sorry. I never thought it would take this long..but I will get it done but, gonna be longer than I thought. Thanks for your interest...

Real simple speedy, first thing is to put them all in the ootp\data\photos folder. Now go the the ootp preferences screen and under the facegen tab, set the picture search mode option to...search for photo first. it's the last option. The rest of those settings are fine as they are. If you already have a game running, you may need to load the pic manually. Just click on the players name and on that page click the bottom right tab "Pictures" from that select auto-reload picture and you should get the players pic. If that don't work, click the import picture option and go to the photo folder and find his pic and load it that way... If your starting a new game and already have the pics in the photos folder...and you set preferences as above,,,the game will autoload all of them in...there are other way of doing it as well, but I just can't remember at the moment..hope this at least gets you started...good luck and enjoy..
