Placing My Photo In The Game?

Doby12 · 12-20-2003, 09:32 PM

Just wondering how to place my photo in the game. JPEG, Bit Map? What folder do I place it in? Thanx ahead of time.

.BMP and name it "player1.bmp".

Make a 90x135 pixel bitmap file. Standard Windows 24-bit. Go to the Graphics directory. Take one of the files player1.bmp (2.. 3..) and back it up. Take your photo, and rename it to replace your backed-up file.

You should be able to select it when you start up now.

The game will try to superimpose a logo on your forehead. So if you're good, you can either:

1. Cut and paste one of player1(2.. 3..)'s hats onto your head.
2. Just wear a black cap in your photo, and airbrush the logo out.

Thanks for the additional info, I already had that done and forgot that others might not.

Thats exactly what I did. Put one of my old minor league cards in. Worked great. Thanx.

I dont like the superimposed logo by the game, why does it need the border around it? Makes it look very awkward.

That's because the logos don't have a black border to bleed into the cap. Someone needs to make MLB hat logos with flat black backgrounds to fix this.

I found your minor league card Doby12! I also researched a little bit, and found out that you were drafted in my online fantasy league back in 1997. Small world!
