Black rectangles on some historical BP walls

robedits · 03-23-2024, 02:14 PM

Silvam and company and other BP creators: I recently (as I do every year) d-loaded and installed the wonderful historical ballparks from the OOTP 25 Steam workshop. A couple of the historical BPs I've seen so far have black squares on some of the OF walls. For instance, 1931 Griffith Stadium.
My PC's video cards are up to date, and I don't have issues using MOST of the hist. BPs. I subscribed, downloaded and installed the HIST BPs the usual way, as I've been doing using the Steam OOTP workshop for several years running. Is anyone else getting black rectangles on some historical BP walls? I'm not using any "filters" in the game, and my PC well exceeds the specs needed for OOTP25. I also re-subscribed and re-installed the HIST BPs in the OOTP 25 workshop AGAIN; same issues.

===edited: please see screenshot below. I meant the problem is with Griffith Stadium in my 1931 replay, NOT Shibe Park. My bad. ANd the rectangle shows up in the ballpark both in the game AND in 3D ballpark edit. Please disregard the Shibe park picture in my comment below. The forums won't let me delete my comment there or my picture.-======

I mean the black rectangle is in 1931 Griffith Stadium, NOT Shibe Park. PLease see pic here. I got confused posting the screenshots.But the thing is: this black rectangle shows up in Griffith Stadium both in 3D park editor AND in the game. SO it might be an issue with Griffith Stadium ,which I'm using in my 1931 replay. DIsregard the above picture of SHibe Park, the forums won't allow me for some reason to delete the post above with the incorrect pic.

Hi. I'm still on OOTP24, but what I'm seeing looks like your screenshots. I've put some screenshots below, including some that I get from moving the camera to be close to the wall. Is it possible what you're seeing is the National Bohemian ad and Longines clock from far enough away that it's hard to make them out? Or could it be the access tunnels for the outfield seating?

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your question, and no disrespect intended!

...you are exactly right. I hadn't zoomed in closely enough and, upon reflection, it does seem a bit weird to have the ads and the clock be so dark like that. Older ads and wall fixtures (clocks, scoreboards) were usually not complete black backgrounds like that, from photos I've seen. No disrespect taken. I hadn't zoomed in enough. I had seen some writing but at a distance it looked like ads that were missing more colorful backgrounds.

Happy to help, and happy it's not another of the many mysterious things that sometimes crop up with the mods!
