I downloaded the ootp5 demo a few days ago and have been having a ball with it. One of the files listed on the download page where I got the game was lahman50-2k.zip. I downloaded this but haven't done anything with it. What am I suppose to do with it? What exactly does it do? I was assuming it set the playernames to the actual names and maybe provides some historical stats... does it do anything else?

Also, I keep seeing other files people are creating and wanted to find out which ones are good to look into for someone getting started with this great game!

I downloaded TotalMinors (which looks like it sets all the names for active players and adds the better prospects so do I not need lahman?) and the shub facepacks. Are these the ones that most people use?

I also downloaded a set of logos (actually about 8 sets so I have to choose from). Are there any other files I should look into?

It would be nice if there were a step by step guide for the beginner on setting up the game to use the latest db files, etc. to help get you started. I know these are not official but I get the impression that most (or at least a lot) of people update the games files after downloading.

Thanks!
