It's a MLB07 template and graphics pack, with all the correct team names and affiliations for 2007, from MLB to rookie levels. No players included, so when you create a game based on this template, fictional players will be generated and you will run an inaugural draft. You can also use this template as base to create your own, adding more leagues etc before starting the game.

Before starting the universe, remember to edit the template in advanced mode to fit your needs and likings as the options have been setup how i like to play the game (for example 1-10 ratings scale etc). To use it, start a league from template and choose the icy-mlb07 template.

It includes all the following graphics:
MLB real teams colors
MLB real logos
MLB real caps
MLB real jerseys

IL AAA real teams colors
IL AAA real logos
IL AAA real caps
IL AAA real jerseys

PL AAA real teams colors
PL AAA real logos
PL AAA real caps
PL AAA real jerseys

AA real logos

A real logos

SA real logos

R real logos

I might work on AA and A jerseys etc in the future, but after some months betatesting the game and creating this graphics, i want to play the damn game now

Those graphics will be stored in your data folder and will be used everytime you start a new game with the correct team names, for example when in the future a real rosters pack is released by somebody, this graphics pack will be 100% compatible. I have added the real teams colors to the graphics names, so when used, the teams will have the correct colors auto assigned.

Here is the 1.0 file, enjoy and please post here about any error or problems.

Instructions:

Unzip the file to your OOTP07 data folder (for example)

c:\Documents and Settings\your user\My Documents\Sports Interactive\OOTP Baseball 2007\data

When asked about overwriting existing folders answer yes (it won't overwrite anything).

Note: If you use a MAC computer, the content will be unzipped in a folder named ICY MLB into your data folder. If so, place all the content from that folder into the data folder and you will be fine.

Only one problem by now, right now there is no way to store the texture name in the jersey logo name, so the colors are saved but not if the jerseys have stripes, or pinstripe line, etc. It means that you could have a NY Yankees with he right colors but without stripped lines in the jersey as right now the texture is randomly assigned (i just requested it to Andreas). You can edit it easily in the teams options and colors screen, selecting the stripes jersey texture.

To have all the logos etc working properly, i suggest to do the following:

1- Go to Game setup
2- Go to the Players and Pictures options screen
3- Click on all the buttons in the "Team picture functions" section:
Reset all teams logos
Reset all caps logos
Reset all jersey logos
Reset all caps textures
Reset all jersey textures

If some of the graphics keep not appearing, just click again on the "Reset all..." buttons.

Samples:

MLB


International League (AAA)


Pacific League (AAA)

Note 1: The players will have no beards by default as i created this template before the beards was a separate option for each team. If you want the players pics to have beards, go to each team options and check the box to allow that team to have players with beards).

Note 2: If you use a MAC computer, the content will be unzipped in a folder named ICY MLB into your data folder. If so, place all the content from that folder into the data folder and you will be fine.

Icy...thanks for the effort!

I have an issue...I extracted the file to the data folder and I see the world template folder in there but when I try to create a new game using a world template it is not listed??

Icy:

Do you have a list of known changes that have to be made? I think I can do most by memory, but some are a little tricky.

[stellar]

Like you said, for all teams, "Allow Beards" must be selected (except for the Skanks I guess).

Arizona - ?
Atlanta - pin stripe color change to CC0033, jersey style: single lined
Baltimore - none
Boston - pin stripe color change to FF0033, jersey style: single lined
Chicago (AL) - none
Chicago (NL) - none

[stellar]

Cincinnati - pin stripe color change to CC0033, jersey style: pinstripes
Cleveland - pin stripe color change to 000066, jersey style: single lined
Colorado - jersey style: pinstripes
Detroit - pin stripe color change to 000033, jersey style: single lined

[stellar]

Florida - jersey style: pinstripes
Houston - pin stripe color change to 9D9D9D (or a similar gray. should be black, but the gray looks like a less prominent black on the jerseys), jersey style: pinstripes
Kansas City - none
LAA - none
LAD - none
Milwuakee - none

[stellar]

Minnesota - jersey style: pinstripes
NYY - pinstripe color: 000033, jersey style: pinstripes
NYM - pinstripe color: 003366, jersey style: pinstripes

[stellar]

Pittsburgh - none
SD - none
SF - none
Seattle - pinstripe color change to 000033, jersey style: single lined
STL - none

Hehe good job, that is the only thing i miss from the excellent facegen, the possibility of exporting also the jersey templates settings.

Anyway the problem is solved releasing a quicksave instead of a template, I might do that, set it all, set also the park factors, etc and then sim like 10 years to have a league history of stats. But now i want to play the game for some time first

I released the template instead of quicksave to give more flexibility when starting a new game as you can set it up as you want.

I am having the same problem I see the template in the world_templates however I can't start a league using that template. I was also playing around, I Save a template that made. However it wasn't in the world_templates. Is there another folder in which these get saved in?

Check if when you unziped it, it created a folder named "Icy MLB Pack" into the "Data" folder. If so, take all the folders from into the "Icy MLB Pack" and place them one level above, in the "Data" folder.

[rick1980]

I have it unzipped correctly

[edl129]

the template doesn't show up for me either

[Cras]

make sure the files are in the "data" folder that is in the OOTP2007 file in My Docs. Not the progam file one.

[rick1980]

I figured it out When I installed the game I installed it here C:/OOTP2007. however they are also in Mydocuments/Sports Interactive/OOTP Baseball 2007/Data/World_templates folder. to get the file to show up in the game it as to be in Mydocuments/Sports Interactive/OOTP Baseball 2007/Data/World_templates folder. Does anyone know the reason this Happen?
