Ballparks not showing up

bagman67 · 10-18-2011, 03:06 PM

I downloaded the ballparks from the mod site and put them in the ballparks folder but I'm getting a blank grey background when playing the game. I might have gotten the ds_store files mixed up could this be why? Any ideas if not

You also have to move the parks.dat file in the folder too.

I did not see a file called parks.dat. I downloaded padre fans ballparks and historical ball parks from the mods site. When I downloaded those ballparks should the parks.dat file come with that? Could the file be called something else?

Hmmm ds_store files .don't use any of that..as..You don't need to use any of it. ds_store files are part of the mac compression when zipping files. In other words, the person who created the zip, did it on a mac. You just want the jpg files in the zip folder and the parks.dat file If he included one. Not everyone does as it's not mandatory. If he didn't, you have to manually associate the correct pics with the proper team to get them to show up in the game. The game doesn't automatically do it. You can find my step by step directions in this post:
