It might be worth considering further, sometime later on, if you might want to make certain related things at least a bit easier for you to handle with it, I think. CD out.

I'm not interested in that at all, I like my IPA just the way it is. You can feel free to try that with one of your own leagues, however. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Fair enough. Just a remade suggestion, that's all. Especially if you did eventually decide to divide things up similar to how the real MLB did in 1969, you see, as you just said you might possibly do. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I'll look and get back to you on that, EC. Not at main computer now, but will look later, when it comes to All-Star logos. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

EC, for team logos in regards to your All-Star teams, start with the appropriate main folder of the desired OOTP version. Then go to saved games, your relevant dynasty name, news, html, images, and team logos, in that specific order, when you go through the necessary subfolder levels.

For uniforms, go to every subfolder through your relevant dynasty name, then to jerseys, and then look for the appropriate uniforms as needed and desired. For caps, just go to the appropriate subfolder under your relevant dynasty name. Hopefully, these exact instructions should help you out here considerably. EC, please let me know if they actually do, if you really don't mind too much here and all, then. Thank you very much for all your time and attention and all here, of course.

Please pray that I'm also able to get some really good progress very soon on multiple projects of mine, Lord willing and all, at least. Okay? CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

EC and jg2977, please check your PM's ASAP. Thank you. CD out.

CD, thanks for the instructions... they are very well done... I have already done this, but the default all-star logos are always use... they never use the ones I want.

Do they have to be named in a certain way to be installed?

CD, I can add your player to a reserve roster, but looking at his ratings, he would never make the active rosters... his ratings are too poor.

I'll add him to the Hillsboro Blazers reserve roster and see what happens.

I don't do nicknames in my leagues... don't use beards much either.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, he'd be young, at least at first, but with sufficient amounts of positive Talent Change Randomness improvement, there may be a halfway decent chance, at least, for him to improve enough to play at least decently well for any team in your IPA. The second number in each pair of matched numbers would be his potential ratings, while the first number in each of them would be his current ratings, you see. At least at the start of his career, that is, anyway. Start him out with no beard, but hopefully if he does make the active roster for one of the IPA teams, eventually, he'll have a beard when older. I have a beard at the present time, and I've generally had one for most of my adult life, when possible, so I am hoping that he can eventually develop one later on.

As for your second question, it probably would be wise for you to try and see what the developers and/or graphics masters say, and see what they suggest that you do here, if you haven't already done so. It would also be nice if I could see what they say and think here and all, as well, I believe.

Thank you for your time and attention here, then, of course, as always. And thanks yet again here for all your prayers for me and my family and all, as well. Hope you enjoy the rest of your night, Lord willing and all. CD out.

I can try to add him and see what happens. Can I increase his ratings a bit to make sure that he makes the starting roster? I'll put him on the New Yerby Mets - I'm using the uniforms that you made for that organization.

In the past when creating a player, I've taken a guy from a team's roster who's hardly ever played and renamed him and edited him. How do I create a player from scratch and place him on the specific team of my choosing?

Go to the main league menu > reports and info > free agents> actions (top right of screen) > create fictional player > position/role (pitcher, catcher etc) > nationality > player's age > player qualtiy > development stage (I always choose "fully developed" > destination league > number of players (choose 1 if that's all you want to create) > click "Create Player (s)"... I leave the other choices in default and don't change them.

You will see the created player in the Free Agents list.

Right click on his name and choose the team you want to place him on.

Once created, open the Player Profile and you can make adjustments to his ratings in the Player Editor, if you would like to do so... you can increase or decrease his ratings, actual and potential... adjust his fielding ratings... batting ratings... speed... defensive ratings... pick the position or positions you want him to play... even make him a two-way player... anything from a Legend to a Bench player.

You can adjust his ratings on the Free Agents screen or after you place him on a team.

Let me know if you have trouble following these instructions.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

In the places where there are two numbers, the first number should represent his current values in the editor, and the second his potential values, prior to any potential TCR changes, jg2977. So really not a fan of the New York Mets, in RL, so would really prefer he not start there, if possible. I will also put him in one or more of my leagues for at least one of my dynasties, if not more, and we can hopefully be able to compare the resulting careers that he has, between you, me, and EC, I think.

What teams are you using at least some of my work for in your IPA? As long as they don't share a name with any team from MLB other than the Cardinals or Angels, I wouldn't mind seeing him on one of those teams, for sure. Preferably a team that needs more help than one that doesn't, actually, so that he might have a better chance to play, if possible. Especially seeing as he's a two-way player. Please let me know the above information about those teams soon, if you like and can. Thank you. CD out.

I was using a player creation template created by another member of the forums, but the actual screen name of the template creator currently escapes me, unfortunately. When and/or if I remember, or find it again, I will note it here, as I can and all. I'm sure it is somewhere on the boards, but can't remember where exactly right now. CD out.

I'm definitely using your Hillsboro Blazers jerseys.

In the meantime, if I'm not otherwise occupied today before I retire for the night, I do hope to get at least some writing done for one or more of my current writing projects, if I possibly can, Lord willing. As the days pass, I am getting increasingly concerned that I may not actually be able to meet my original planned deadline for getting the first draft of Lighting Up the Darkness done. I'm still quite stuck on a scene in Chapter 14 for it, unfortunately, and I'm not quite sure how to continue the scene in question right now.

As you people have probably often noticed, I frequently have trouble getting things done or progressing more at times, for various reasons. This has long been a quite common occurrence for me, and it periodically frustrates me, at least, when that is the case. Writer's block, for instance, is rarely fun for me to deal with, along with any number of other things I often have to deal with in my life, especially on a day-to-day basis.

But God constantly helps me every day, thankfully, with dealing with so many things and certain people in my life, of course. I probably couldn't do at least 90 percent, if not more, of what I have done, am doing, or will do, without His help, in my view. God is infinitely amazing, and I'm extremely humbled to be His creation, among other things I am in relation to Him, for sure. CD out.

Thank you again for using my items, wherever you are, jg2977. I hope to see his career develop as best as I can in the future, no matter where he starts out. Please keep me posted, and I will try to keep you and others posted on how he may perform in various leagues I might have in various dynasties, if he's seen in multiple ones of my creation. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Seems either Jeffy25 or krmarks created the player creation template I mentioned originally, most likely Jeffy25, based on a forums search I just did. And they evidently did so at least five to ten years ago, just so you all know this, folks. I want to give proper credit here, of course, for sure, so I don't get in any trouble here and all for not doing so. CD out.

I can put your created player on the Glasco Celtics too. I remember I asked you to make all green jerseys for them, a la the Boston Celtics.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some screenshots to show you the starting values I've created him with for a game I'm starting. Please feel free to adjust a new player accordingly. Thank you. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, I will improve Freeman's ratings so that he will at least have a good chance to make the active roster of the Hillsboro Blazers... I will make give him two-way player ratings.
I will let you know if he makes the 2071 active roster.

I use your Hillsboro Blazers jersey and cap for my Home uniform set... I use knuckler's Away jersey with your cap... I like the speed lines on the caps... see the H on the cap... that was really, really a nice touch.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Do as you wish regarding his ratings, then. Thank you for including him in your plans for the IPA, EC. I can't wait to see how his career develops, of course. CD out.
