baseballfan911 · 01-17-2010, 09:24 PM

I downloaded Padresfans photo pack for 09 and im having a problem. When I start a new game im still not getting any pictures. Is there anything ive done wrong.

t_wil1 · 01-17-2010, 11:42 PM

where did you put the photos?

baseballfan911 · 01-18-2010, 12:12 AM

Padresfans website

t_wil1 · 01-18-2010, 01:11 AM

I meant which folder did you put the photos in the game

baseballfan911 · 01-18-2010, 10:03 AM

I placed the folder in the photos folder.

You have to unzip them into the news/html/images folder of your saved game once you have already created a league. Make sure you unzip the actual pictures into this folder (not the folders they com in).

Good Luck!

How do I do that?

t_wil1 · 01-18-2010, 10:15 AM

If you put them in the photo folder....

Go to Game Seutp under game menu

Player and Picture Options

Force Update/Generate Players Pictures (will take a while depending on size of league)

Or the other option is the one above.

Still an issue. When i got to game setup and go to player pictures that option isn't available. I went to the league setup and when i press the Force/Generate photos button nothing happens.

t_wil1 · 01-18-2010, 10:28 AM

In fictional picture options....make sure it says all players... same menu

t_wil1 · 01-18-2010, 10:32 AM

fictional picture option is inside global setup... not league setup

baseballfan911 · 01-18-2010, 10:32 AM

So im i supposed to make all the pictures fictional and then it will update them with the actual pics.

t_wil1 · 01-18-2010, 10:34 AM

I could be wrong... but the option needs to be available... to update

baseballfan911 · 01-18-2010, 10:50 AM

Any idea why that option isn't available for me.

t_wil1 · 01-18-2010, 10:53 AM

If the option says all players in player photos... I wouldn't know... may want to check out online support section.

baseballfan911 · 01-18-2010, 07:05 PM

I figured out how to do the force upload but even when I did (and a half hour later) I still didnt get the pics. It was a bunch of computer generated pics.

baseballfan911 · 01-19-2010, 09:57 PM

bump. can anyone help me here.

OK, the file you downloaded is a .zip file. The first thing you need to do is unzip the file using an archiving program like WinZip or WinRAR. Then you need to copy the pictures you unzip into the directory I listed above.

If this doesn't help enough, trying searching the forums and doing some research about this. There are probably 500 threads on how to do this. You can search in the OOTP 9 and OOTP 8 forums as well - the process is the same.

Also, it might help if you tell us exactly what you did do so we can troubleshoot your process. Your original post is too vague. That is why you aren't getting many responses. There are lots of reasons pictures do not work.
