How to Auto Import Ballpark Pics: A Turorial

[Bigrod]

Hi all,
It seems that a lot of people don't realize you can auto import all the ballpark pics so I posted a step by step over in the New To The Game. You can't do it for a first time setup but you can for any additional new or saved game. Hope some of you find it useful. Feel free to add any info I may have missed and ask any questions you may have. The post is here:

The problems with using the park.dat file is you have to manually change all the park associations back to the correct teams, if the .prk file is used instead all you have to make sure is the stadium names are correct and all data will import perfectly and no parks will need to be reassigned.

It can be a pain when dealing with 800+ parks

A pain is correct. Actually when you first import your ballpark pic it doesn't matter what the name is. It could be boston day.jpg or fenway day.jpg or my favorite place.jpg cause when you export the data, the game knows the correct ballpark name and will save it accordingly. In the case of Boston it'll auto save it as fenway park day.jpg or fenway park night.jpg even if the original pic was named something else.
