photos for players with the same name

HoustonGM · 06-02-2006, 12:48 AM

How does the game deal with photos for players that have the asme name? For example, there are two Chris Youngs. If I have a photo named Chris_young.jpg, both will get the same one. How do I fix this so they each get their own?

I always used the middle initial or if the same then the full middle name. You would need to change it in the game as well as the jpeg.

For example Christopher Ryan Young from Texas would be named Chris R_Young.jpg

Then go into the game and edit Chris Young's first name to Chris R

Put a middle initial in one of pictures and change their name, in-game, to include an initial and you should be good to go.

I take it OOTP hasn't got ID numbers asigned to players/logos then like other SI games do?

It would solve this problem straight away as you'd just name your files as the ID numbers.

No it wouldn't, at least if you are sharing your photos. Every league they would have different player ID numbers so your photos would be useless to someone else. The first name_last name.jpg set up is far and away the best way to do it.
