Earl Weaver-type Stadium Generator?

CBL-Commish · 06-09-2009, 05:30 PM

Has anyone ever come up with a stadium picture generator like the one in the old Earl Weaver games from the 80s and 90s? I have a bunch of fictional stadiums in my league and don't want/need Teflon-like super graphical representations. I just want a basic layout of the fences, maybe foul ground, maybe stands, doesn't even have to be 3D.

I've been using Earl-generated graphics but the viewing angles don't quite work right with OOTP, and the 16-color 320x200 graphics aren't really cutting it anymore.

Did a search, but all I came up with was a discussion with ctorg from 2005. Maybe in the intervening years someone has done something I missed?

I've seen a little utility that generated park images based on your dimensions, but I'll be damned if I can figure out where I found it. I may have it at home somewhere...

There was one floating around the boards several years ago. You might be able to find it by doing a search for stadium generator i don't know. i think i still have it somewhere. i'll look for it when i get home. i'll post it if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

Basically it gave a 2d view from directly above playing field; nothing fancy. But it might be what you're looking for.

But i'd pay money for Earl Weaver type stadium generator. Sigh...

How will this work with OOTP? Didn't Larry have an AUParks utility a few version back?

All that does is generate park images, so you can visualize the field a bit better.
