A simple request for OOTP5...

Sports1131 · 02-18-2003, 12:38 AM

Instead of enabling/disabling all player photos, can you just have the game check to see if the photo exists and if it doesn't just show the generic image? I hate enabling all the photos at the beginning and having a blank spot on all game-generated players. In theory it should be very simple to code.

That was one of my only complaints (and a very minor thing at that) in OOTP4.

Funny you mention it... I prefer the blank spot to the face with a ? over it.

To each his own, I guess.

I don't know how it will be implemented in OOTP5, but it bothered me that, after the most recent patch, internet league members couldn't enable all photos due to the option being under the password-protected league options. I would imagine that this could be solved by the commissioner enabling the option in the league file, but then those who don't wish to use face packs would be stuck with the grey boxes. I think it would make sense to password-protect all gameplay/structure options, but allow each individual user access to an aesthetic options menu.

I agree with JML, I much prefer the blank spot to the ? face.
