Eugene, do you know if you have a program similar to WinZip?

Eugene Church · 09-04-2003, 07:34 PM

dbacks:

Yes, I have Winzip. I think I got it to download the Lahman database.

dbacks · 09-04-2003, 07:43 PM

Good. Hold on a sec, I'm writing up a brief tutorial.

dbacks · 09-04-2003, 08:29 PM

Sorry it took so long. Dinner got in the way.

Okay, here are the facepacks you'll need. Just click to download. As soon as you click a number (i.e. 1920's, 1940's), a box will pop up asking whether you want to save, or open. Go ahead and choose open. After you click that, it will begin downloading the file. It will take a few minutes for each file depending on your internet connection.

Once it's finished downloading, it will automatically start WinZip. At the top, select Actions, then click on "Extract..." You can then either:

A.) type in the name of the path to your OOTP league, for example -- C:\Program Files\OOTP5\league.lg\PHOTOS

B.) Or select the PHOTOS folder by using the Folders/drives viewer.

Once you've selected the folder you want to place these photos in, click Extract, and it will unzip the files into that folder. Do the same thing for all files.

Also - once you have finished downloading and extracting all photos into your Photos folder, go into Advanced League Setup, and enable all photos.

This was done real quick, and if you're confused, or still need help, please, ask.

Early 1900's

Can't find pics for the 1910's. Sorry

1920's

1930's

1940's

1950's

1960's

1970's

I cannot find facepacks for the 80's and 90's. Sorry again.

2002

Also - if any of these links are broken and do not work, let me know.

Thanks, dbacks.

They don't get any better than you. You are truly one good human being for helping out the "computer-challenged"...and for being so quick to share your knowledge of OOTPB...and for designing so many logos for so many people.

dbacks · 09-04-2003, 09:46 PM

Thanks.

If you need help, ask. Somebody here will help, even if it's not me.

eugene and dbacks. The instruction for facepack use is close but not quite right. The 1900-1909 sets can simply be unzipped to the photos folder of your league because they are already in .bmp format.

However, the decade sets from 1920's thru 70's all are saved in jpeg format to reduce the file size. You need to convert them to bmp images. Instructions to do so are in the readme file of each.

As for 1910's I have not completed it yet but will be doing so over the next few months. Btw, to determine which set a player is included in simply lookup his rookie season as all players are included in sets based on their first major league year.

TigerFan: Thanks for the info...and thanks for your great contributions to the OOTPB community.

I can't remember who I need to thank. But sttfk's stadiums from High Heat are awsome. The game seems to be better with these stads. Thank you whomever. I am glad that my computer knowledge has expanded to this point.

Your welcome, and if there is a player photo or two from the 1910's that you need an image of for your set just let me know.
