MLB League: What do I need to start?

Mike Lowe · 09-27-2003, 03:01 PM

Thinking of starting up a solo career that represents MLB 2003. What files do I need?

Rosters
Faces
Stadiums
Record Book/Almanac
Everything else I'm forgetting

Rosters:
Rocco's rosters are great, and include the Almanac, proper contracts etc. plus personal info (i.e. when they one the Cy Young etc.)

Faces;
Shub's are great (and already in bmp form):

Stadiums:
Rocco gives you the park figures, Henry has some great pictures here:

Record Book/Almanac
Included in Rocco's rosters...

Hope that helps

Excellent thanks. Whose got the best logos?

Mike Lowe · 09-27-2003, 04:56 PM

Also, where would I find player pics to match up with Rocco's rosters?

dougaiton · 09-27-2003, 05:34 PM

Shub's facepacks match up with the rosters...they are all linked by players names (they are also in bitmap form so you don't have to convert them, just unzip them into the photos folder in the league file).

There is an absolute TON of great logos out there - you'll find some great ones at :

And also...

Looking at it, I should have just directed you there first!

Mike Lowe · 09-27-2003, 05:56 PM

Ok, right now I'm looking for the following:

Stadium pics for the team setup page
Stadium pics for in-game play
Faces for TotalMinors opening day rosters (do all photosets work with each roster file?)

Perhaps more to come.

Thanks for the help!

These are normally the same thing - if you download this file:
http://baseballsimcentral.com/dloads...led/1804.shtml
Unzip these into your Graphics photo, and note down the name of each stadium (for example Bank One Ballpark is 'bank1.bmp'). Then go to the 'edit ballpark' on league setup, and then pick each stadium, and assign the relevant picture to each park in the 'In-Game Picture bit' by typing in the name of the bmp file (bank1.bmp). Do this for each team. Then go to team setup, and click the ballpark button, choose the right ballpark, and the picture should be visible there. This phot file doesn't have pictures of the new fields, like the Great American Ballpark, but I just use the old picture of Cinergy field

Faces for TotalMinors opening day rosters (do all photosets work with each roster file?)

The shub files are organised by name, so they'll work fine, their may be a few problems (normally with two guys with the same name, or a shortening of a name). If you're using total minors, you might have to download 100 years of MLB almanac (I may be wrong, but I don't think they come with that). YOu can get that here:

Hope this helps...

Where could I find the computer generated pics of the stadiums? I used to have them but lost them...Also, I'd like to get one that's updated for 2003 with the new Cincy stadium.

For some reason I also cannot get the pic files to to work with TotalMinors roster. I just unized part 1 and part 2 into my photos folder...

Thanks again.

Make sure to go into your Advanced League Setup (or is it called options? You'll figure it out.) and Enable All Pictures.

Here is the BEST site for Stadium photos and .dat files:

http://priorydesign.netmag.easyspace.com/historical.htm

Every stadium from 1900-2003 is on this site and the files are very accurate. Really takes the game to the next level.

Eriq definitely does have some of the best logos around.
