Help - Fictional League using Real MLB Logos?

[jdickins]

I am trying to create a fictional league using great MLB teams of the past ('27 Yankees, '55 Dodgers, etc.) and would like to use real MLB team logos and uniforms. However, when I attempt to create this league the game automatically assigns fictional team logos, and I can't seem to change them to MLB logos. Pleeeeeese HELP! What am I doing wrong?

It's all about file naming. The names have to match the team and the year (if you want them to progress with time). Also historical logos are "mostly" all there in the base game. The Indians are gone but that horse has been beaten to death. Historical uniforms are not included in the base game but you'll have no trouble finding them here.

For the logos to work the file name must be:

new_york_yankees_ (starting date)-(ending date)_color hex code 1_color hex code 2.png

Caps naming is:

caps_new_york_yankees_starting date-ending date_home/away.png

Jerseys are the same except the file name starts with jerseys. Once you have the caps and jerseys just paste them into the appropriate directory in you game file. It's pretty self intuitive once you see it.

It makes no difference if the game is fictional or historical or modern. All that matters is file names

.png versions of logos and uniforms are available from any number of sources. Just put them in your folders and manually select a png version of the team logo and jersey.

Whats wrong with loading the logos & jerseys manually? If you have Silvam.s file or Reds 1 + No Pepper/Ashante then you should be able to load 30 of them in 20-30 minutes. i do this for my RD leagues along with changes ballparks.

You can always load them manually. I like them to progress with the passage of time and doing that manually is a real aggravation. So proper names and dates for me

When I try to load them manually, the historical logos do not show up in the file navigation system -- a bunch of Japanese Teams are all that show up. These Japanese logos are all.png files. Everything else in the logo folder are .oi files that do not show up when I try to choose them manually.

Just change the file extension from .oi to .png. (i.e. rename the file).
