Can someone take the black out of the sky and replace it with a daytime sky? The black is of course all out of whack in the game, and shows up splotchy. Thanks..........

I'm not a stadium designer, but that is something I can do fairly easily.

Well, basically you just need the right program and you need to know how to use it. This didn't take much longer than 15 mins to do. Believe it or not, the part that took the longest was finding the right sky to use. I tried about 2 before I found that one via a google image search, and the two before didn't look very good. So once I found a good sky, all I did was delete the black sky, placed the new sky underneath the stadium, and this is the result. Was very simple, real easy to do - and didn't take long at all.

just put it in, looks great. On another note........how do you save screens from High heat to put them in ootp like sttfrk's stadiums?

Just hit that key on your key board labeled "printscreen" (see attachment). By hitting that key you save any information on your screen to your computer's clipboard. Then open up Paint, and paste the screenshot into a new document by clicking Edit>Paste (or press Ctrl + V ).

cool, thanks.

BTW if you change the 0,0,0 areas of the black backdrop to 1,1,1 they will still look black and will show up in the game. 0,0,0 is the transparent color.

There was some heavy controversy earlier on the board about the transparency issues and it appears as if 1,1,1 will not resolve the problem for everyone. Some computers seem to need 5,5,5 while others may even require 10,10,10.

The issue is the amount of "black" area... I don't claim to understand how this works, but I've tested it and come up with these results....

* If your "black" area is small (lines, spots, etc.) a change from 0,0,0 to 1,1,1 seems to work fine - however,

* If your "black" area is large (in a recent example, a "Black Sox" logo) I had to move the value up to 10,10,10 to avoid transparency.

I'm sure there's a good logical explanation for this, but the bottom line is 10,10,10 is such a dark gray that you'll never notice the difference - so I would suggest it as the replacement color.

Agreed.
