Stadium Diagrams - Question

[The Game]

Where can I get these for current parks and for historical parks?
i do not have the all in one installed.

[Déjà Bru]

Here's one resource that I have bookmarked. What do you think of it?

EDIT: Hmmm. I just realized that you mean for loading into the game, not just for information. Have you tried OOTPMODS.com? Are you talking about something like justafan's Computer Generated MLB Ballparks for OOTP 9?

No, I think the OP is talking about the diagram that is now seen in the new Webcast view.

Looks cool, is there away to download all? I can right click save as which takes time, but I was also trying more to find ones that look like the Graphical Display under Lineups.

Yeah, isn;t this also shown on the Graphical Display? Basically I was loading staiums for my leagues and realized i dont have any diagrams for any of my parks and have yet to see any that were made for OOTP 14. i know there are a few threads but I thought those would be too big and those were for the main in game screen. Would those still work (I would have to find those threads again.

OK, do you mean diagrams like the ones below? Because, those (Coors and Forbes Fields) and many more are included in the 2013 All-In-One mod.

What I would do is to download the 2013 All-In-One Mod, using The Game's the game's Add-Ons Central (see what I did there?). If I don't want to install all of it, however, then I would go to the \Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 14\addons\downloads folder and find the zip file called 2013_all_in_one_mod.tgz. Open it using WinZip (it's huge; this may take a while), find these diagrams somehow (maybe sort by file type; the stadium diagrams are .jpg) and just extract these to your ballparks folder.

Please let me know if I'm still off base here. Am I answering your question?

Bruce, you fool. Give it up. He's obviously referring to these diagrams from the Webcast screen, not the nonsense you're bringing up. You have no idea where these diagrams can be obtained or even where they are located in the game aside from a few standard ones in the ballparks folder. You can only assure him that there are tons of stadiums available in the ballpark editor and that each apparently comes with its own such diagram. Shut your mouth now.

[The Game]

Ok i did not think to look in the ballparks folder for those. Any idea where i can get historic versions?

Using a robust file management program like xplorer2 instead of the trash that comes with Windows these days, I did a search of the entire OOTPB game folder for .jpg and .png files and did NOT see any files matching the images I show above. Only the ones that you show in your post appear (why they are in there, with other ballpark picture files, is a mystery). This leads me to believe that the Webcast stadium diagrams corresponding with preloaded stadiums which are available in the game are hard-coded and embedded in the parks.dat file. This probably dashes your hope for some customizing control over them.

I am pretty sure they come with the all-in-one mod. At least, that's how I think I have them.

That's right. They come with the All-in-One Mod. Someone has created ballpark diagrams for historical stadiums. He did a great job! The DL link is here: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ml#post3519289

That's what I thought in post #6 but you corrected me that we are talking about stadium diagrams, not pictures. So, now you are saying an enhanced parks.dat file comes with the All-In-One mod? The only thing about that is, I see all of those historic stadiums available in the ballpark editor mode but I do not have the All-In-One mod downloaded at this time.

I think those diagrams may be in the default parks.dat file as intended to coincide with the historical progression options now built into the game. I have noticed that the game automatically updates stadiums as you move forward in time with historical progression.

Thank you, I would have totally missed this.

This is getting even more interesting.

I just downloaded the All-In-One Mod and looked through it without installing it. It does NOT contain stadium diagrams as image files like the examples that I show in post #7. However, it DOES contain a modified parks.dat file (first screen print below). Is that an indication of what I just said in my previous post?

And yes, that link that you gave us does have some great stadium diagrams (second screen print below). But, how do you get them into your game? Remember, they are not stadium pictures but stadium diagrams. How does one go about using them?

They are just pictures, of sorts. There is a stadium diagram button alongside the "day picture" and "night picture" buttons in the ballpark editor. Works exactly the same way as the ballpark pictures.

Ah! I swear, I learn something new about this game every day. There it is, below.

But that leaves the question of the historical stadium diagram images. Where are they in the All-In-One Mod if not built into the modified parks.dat file?

If you look into the ballparks folder in that mod zip file, it contains only stadium pictures, not the diagrams of which we are speaking.

I thought the All In One was from 13 and not new for 14? Which is why I have yet to install it. I downloaded Gambo's Historical logos, The caps & Uniforms files that have them all in order and I moved my FG over from 13. I did not see a reason to install AIO yet. Plus most of my leagues are all existing league and most AIO files only work with new games. Thanx for the link PS.

pstrickert's historical ballpark files + nielsoncp's outlines = happiness for this historical simmer

Thanks guys!

[pstrickert]

No problem.
