Real player photos creep into fictional league.

RayFleetwood · 11-21-2021, 12:56 PM

When I create a game using real players I like to use player photos. I added a player photo file to the photos folder in OOTP and that worked fine.
However, I also play in an online fictional league. If a player in the fictional league had the same name as a real MLB player the photo replaced the FaceGen picture. I found that distracting in the fictional league. So, I removed the player photo file from OOTP. That fixed the real player photos creep problem.

Is there a place I can put the photo file, or a setting I can change, so real player photos only show up in games using real MLB players?

I tried looking in the online manual and had no luck finding an answer. Thank in advance.

In your fictional league setup, Players & FaceGen Tab, uncheck these 2 boxes -

When I go to the game or league tabs the settings menu item is grayed out. So, would the commish of the league would have to uncheck those boxes? Correct?

Shouldn't need Commish mode to change those.

Are you playing Challenge Mode?

Is this an online league?

Yes, it is an online league. I believe I mentioned that in the original post.

Has to be done by Commish.

He would then have to delete out the files not wanted and post a new images file for league members to download. Could possibly be a very large file depending on a number of things.

Thank you. Since the photo file was only on my PC, in my global photo directory in my OOTP program, I was the only one affected. Yes I had to do clean up but there is no impact on the commish or other players.
