Historical 3D Ballparks? - Page 2

Garlon · 03-24-2021, 09:26 AM

Is it possible to look into the licensing issues with historical stadiums?

Other games have had historical stadiums featured.

Who owns the "likeness" of these stadiums?

If we had official historical stadiums in the game would OOTP need to renew their license to use these models every year?

They sell stadium models too.

There does not appear to be anything that says these are officially licensed models.

Thanks for switching to 7Zip. Will all your models be available in 7Zip also?? I don't like win rar on my laptop, I have all your models on desktop, but its acting up again. Thanks again.

I will eventually phase everything to ZIP format. don't know why you need winrar on your desktop if 7zip can open the rar format??

I am a little slow, 7zip is good. Thanks again.

So, I take it from this discussion that the resources used to make the modern stadiums are not /will not be available to modders in the stadium construction kit? I kinda thought that was the whole point of the kit. Oh well.

Don’t think the professional tools they use to design those quality stadiums are available for free or would be easy to just pick up and make high quality historical stadium like them.

There is a reason they get paid to do it and I don’t

If I install the historical stadiums, will the new official 3D stadiums automatically take effect in the appropriate year (i.e. The new Yankee Stadium in 2009)?

Also, I forget, if I install the historical stadiums before I create the league, will the correct stadium models get automatically assigned? Will they them automatically change in the correct years?

Thanks!

Silvam,

Your parks are the greatest! Is there a folder with your latest versions? I've just been copying over my old files of your parks since maybe 19 or 20. How could I get the latest versions (or ensure that mine are up-to-date)? Thanks a thousand times over for your great work from a player who loves playing the game in different historical eras.

FYI, I'm about to upload new versions of the historical and current parks I've done. at the very least, the parks all have some great new camera angles given to me by drksd4848.

I've also added a night texture to the lights for parks with them and fixed some other small things I saw. If you can wait a few more days, I should have them all up by then. So far the only ones I have uploaded is Metropolitan stadium versions if you want to check out the angles and see if it is worth it

BTW I finally switched to 7zip instead of winrar

try it and let me know what you think

Wow Silvam this is awesome. The nostalgia as I look at this in my game is so palpable I am tearing up just a bit. I loved your Met before but this one addition has taken it to another level. I feel like I'm 11 again and entering The Met to see my first big league game. Thank you so much for doing this.

I won't have v22 til Friday as I'm waiting for Steam but going through the camera views in the stadium editor is making me anxious to see how it all works.

Can’t wait to see these. Will you update that thread with a new link so we can download all of the updated parks?

Thanks for all of your hard work.

Thanks, but just to let you know, most parks just got a new nightime lights texture and the new camera angles. I just want to temper expectations. Some parks got a few changes with other textures as I saw fit.

I think in 22 with the way the camera following the ball has been made more realistic makes the presentation of the parks that much better! Oh an I will update the links as I upload. I expect to start tomorrow. There are around 197 parks to upload and link, so it may take a bit

Sweed, my pleasure. Its great to see people enjoying these and bringing back memories to some.

I feel that the best way to improve these parks is to get the kind of feedback you provided on this. It is invaluable to me what features of a park were important, or noticeable to include as I don't really know much outside of Fenway.

Enjoy!

There is actual licensing for ballpark likeness? I know this is the case for player likeness but never knew they had this for structures.

Yes, Silvam's ballparks are great!

Ootp could release some historical ballparks for a decent price. Yeah i know its extra payment but we do get a lot for free.
It doesnt keep you from playing the game. Its not like paying for a player in which they updated 2 ratings. From the look of what ive seen it seems like there is more effort into making the ballparks. So i wouldnt mind buying a stadium at a decent price.
I dont see this as a game trying to make a quick buck.
If they charged for the current stadiums then i could see that.
But these are additional ballparks, people like them and it takes some work to make them so why not reward both ootp and the customer?

There would still be plenty of ballparks for Silvam to make.
Would be nice if ootp could hire Silvam to work on the ballparks.
