Edit Ballpark coordinates

Giants44 · 08-10-2011, 03:13 PM

I am someone who spends a lot of time on getting my ballparks just right and the drag and drop of players and coordinates has made the process much easier. But as I sit here today spending 30 minutes fixing the coordinates it occurs to me how much simpler this could be.

Currently there are around 50 coordinates that need to be moved individually - however they tend to move on 9 axis.

I believe it would be far easier to simply have one HP marker that all axis start from (considering every ball hit must be hit from home plate) and from there where she have a line with all of the coordinates in order all the way to the wall.

for example

as it is today if I am editing a park I set home plate and then I set in order:

2SF, 5F, 5DF, 7LSF,7LMF,7LDF - at no point would you ever change the order but yet they have to be moved individually - if you had a single axis that you moved from home plate to the wall (you would need to be able to set where the wall is) and the other locations would fall in logically in between.

this would make my life so much easier,and seems to make a lot of sense.

I would support ANYTHING to make editing coordinates easier. It's far too difficult and time consuming. So you're forced to use existing mods that others have produced, or you have to do a lot of tedious work.

Might be extensive programming but I think it should be possible to set HP 3 4 5 and 6 the left wall corner right wall corner and straight away center and have the program default the rest and perhaps even make them editable.
