Request: Stickied "Necessary Files" Thread

Sudy Nym · 04-17-2004, 10:39 AM

Could we possibly get a stickied necessary/recommended files thread?

I know there's got to be a good resource or two on the topic around here somewhere, but for the life of me, I can't find it. And it's evident that I'm not the only one, with the vast plethora of roster threads, etc. around. Such a thread should help clean things up.

www.baseball.simcentral.net appears to be down, for those looking for an index of older files.

www.ootpdownloadcenter.com a site which I am not familiar with, also appears to be down.

Located resources:

Lahman database 5.1 (comma-delimited version required for OOTP use)
CBL 2.0 OOTP6 rosters here also (former is down currently)

Ankit's 2004 stadium graphics set

Draft Dodger's 2004 MLB Facepack here also (latter is down currently)

IrfanView photo conversion utility
Batch Thumbs photo conversion utility

Edit: www.ootpdownloadcenter.com is back online!

Just thought I'd share what I've come up with so far for those in the same boat as I.

How do you get DD's facepack to work in the game?

Thanks

Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble downloading the set, myself. So I'm not familiar with its particular installation instructions. You're better-off waiting for a reply in Draft Dodger's thread, which I see you've asked the same question in.

Often, photo packs need to be converted from .bmp to .jpg. This can be accomplished using one of the utilities listed in the first post of this thread.

its actually quite easy - run the file - and choose the "photos" subdirectory in your league directory

something that looks like this:
C:\Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP 6\2004.lg\Photos
