Working on a CPBL Photo Pack- ETA 2-3 days.... 5-7 days at most- prolly much less if interested!

Kammich · 05-03-2014, 05:27 AM

There are only 4 teams, some funky names and hard to find players (plus minors I need to tackle for some of these teams, admittedly, so there are areas unfinished come to think of it even w/ the one team i finished the 'major' league level at) and so far, I am close to finished with all of the Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions. and their team's photos, most of which actually contain players depicted in uniform and/or team hats....

All photos have thus far been re-sized with the torso-upwards as the frame of reference, making sure to always include the mug as most visible as possible, 95% of the time or more. Photos are being appropriately cropped & re-sized at 90x135 megapixels, and each photo is being saved as the player's name and a .jpg (to which I will likely put them all in a single file, either all players from each team within a team folder including their minor league or 'farm'/feeder team players, or I'll just couple every photo in one folder I will simply title CPBL Player Photos and then from there OOTP Mods or hopefully someone would like to do something, or maybe even elaborate on them in some way or another.

As I said, these are only 90x135 as far as size goes- the "old and typical" standard for size- and I do admit that I also don't have any particular rules when I make these packs, only that I try to find the best image(s) of these players available (if there are multiples of a star player from that league, I will save them as SO-and_SO_1 or So-AND_So-2 etc. etc.... Simply, if only because there are not a lot of teams or players to deal with. But some have been hard to find photos for, I have to admit. So I am giving myself a 4-7 day period because some digging can be involved at times.....

I just wanted to post this, and as I finish teams in entirety, if you all would like I can upload them all (one-by-one— as far as teams go, that is) into a dropbox account or something like that, so you can download/unzip directly into your "photos" folder and have them ready for league play as I am working on the rest.

Any and all updates for this, and future projects, will be posted of, about, and within this thread if that is OK with mods!

I plan to start on the Dutch league after this is finished, which I had saved some photos for already, but bypassed or simply just skipped over for the time being, onto to this project first instead.

I hope to be done sooner than later and if you all would like, I can post my first team (Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions) in full once completed in the next 24hrs or less I'd estimate- maybe before morning if I stay up and crank.

I do hope there is some demand for this sort of 'mod', if you would even call it that. I'm just compiling and resizing photos appropriately as I can in order to reflect their respective teams.... But anything to help, right?

Cheers, and I'll periodically update you guys as it goes along, releasing things and showing some examples if that's cool. If anyone would like to host or help offer away! I'm always down for a helping hand or better yet, group effort.

the OOTP Community Wiki can easily store files and if one was so inclined, an easy to create page to tie them all together with.

You may want to talk to linih. He has a ton of CPBL photos including pics for guys who are fa's and retired in game.
