Not liking this idea. I need the name there at all times, it's part of the way I learn the new players coming in and keep up with current players. Having to mouse to over players to get something as basic as name IMHO is not good.

I do like the idea of a popup that would give additional information on each player. However I wouldn't want to lose any of the information that is currently displayed in v12. The player number being added for v13 is a nice touch and I like it but it's not a must for me.

Markus, I am appalled that a self destruct option hasn't been added to the game yet. They say every work of art MUST have a self destruct button in or on it somewhere. Surely this must be easy to program, so get on it pronto!

Jabez54 · 03-24-2012, 01:14 PM

Actually, Sweed ... it was more toward those who have 1024x768 screen resolution as an option ... I do understand your reason well!!

... with larger screen resolution, we can enjoy the benefit as opposed to looking too tight for some mates ...

Same here. With hi res wide screens making such a difference and are so cheap, it's surprising how many people still use 1024x768. Well, I suppose some people still watch black & white tv.

I do, on AMC ...

Well, upon further review I agree. They made me shorten the name and also look somewhat messy. So, I removed them again

Seriously I don't get this update

Why screw up the screen for the majority for something cosmetic like the players number?

Might as well get rid of jersey numbers all together since there doesn't seem to be a way to make them relevant in the game.

I honestly would rather just see the number on the field rather than the name because:

a) it would make the jersey numbers more relevant by making the players more identifiable by them

b) would be like real life where when you go to a game, you see the players numbers clearly, but there are no names over their heads

c) it would further reduce the clutter on the field for those, ahem, who use the lower resolutions.

Hopefully this will all be moot soon as I'm assuming this screen will be replaced by a more, better 2D, 3D representation of the game in the next version or 2.

Honestly, don't have a strong opinion on this one, but I do notice that if the numbers were reduced in size even slightly, they'd fit into the lower right corner of the facegen pic on the field and not affect the size of the name/description box. However, they'd only show up well against light, non-busy, jerseys, unless the font changed with the team colors. Sounds like a possibility, but an enormous amount of graphic consideration and coding. Probably not a great cost/benefit reward.

Back on the announcer graphic topic for a moment...

I agree that it would be nice for the users to be able to select their own pics for each team.

Seriously, how hard would this be?

1. Convert the box where the blue suit guy currently resides into a .png field.

2. Create a subfolder titled 'announcers'.

3. Allow the user to save a picture to this folder using the prefix 'an_' (just to help distinguish it from other graphics if it gets misplaced) and the team abbreviation. Therefore, you could have a picture of Jack Buck, for instance, with the name 'an_STL.png', or Harry Caray ('an_CHC.png') or Vin Scully (an_LAN.png), etc. Or, since it's up to the user - or modders - to find the pics, you could even have entire announcing teams in the pic.

4. Use Mr. Blue Suit as the default graphic for this space and name the file 'an_default.png'.

5. Allow for numbers to be added to 'an_default' ('an_default1.png, an_default2.png, etc.) so that other random announcer/team pics can be used.

Depending on which team you're playing as, the appropriate announcer(s) would show up in the PbP box. If you're watching a game that you are not the GM/manager of or 'acting as', you would see one of the random default pics. If your team has no announcer pic file, the default (suit dude) pic would be used.

Heh, what you were doing is watching a black & white movie on a color tv. You weren't watching a black & white tv.

So, are you giving up on puresim?

Was the patronizing comment necessary? Some people had more important priority in their life than getting non-necessary items without being some clueless non-high tech people. Even for less than 50$ I wouldn't change my monitor, not that I can't afford one (I spend more than that each week to buy movies) or because I'm an old guy who like his B/W TV but because the one I own do what I want...

I know you used a smiley, but that doesn't make the comment sounds better.

I'd say the problem with the uniform numbers as originally put in were that they were too big. If the uniform numbers had been sized to be a few points smaller than the size of the player's name text, that would have decreased the visual impact of the numbers while still leaving more space for the player names.

Very Much So, Cornelius ...

Puresim is a pure, simple and a wonderful small Baseball Game (excellent for those who want less immersion but more closely in tune with Historical stats) ... I believe it's at a standstill (the official release will be sometime in late June/July)...

Where as OOTP 13 has made leaps and bounds, in so many ways and has so many options, as compared to OOTP 12 ... with Full Screen Display, beautiful clean UI ... talented MOD creators ... has a slew of DBs, especially the Old Negro League players, along with Japanese Players ... unlimited possiblities of Fictional Leagues ... along with what are being added into OOTP 13 ... THIS IS BY FAR, will be the Best Baseball Game ever in the History of PC Baseball ... Total Immersion ... Total Baseball ... and That's Baseball
