Thread for Dumb questions

Duncan Idaho · 04-18-2004, 11:37 AM

I might have a few of them. I just got OOTP6 and did some messing around with my stadium file and right now I have the individual stadiums jpegs in the graphics file but my in-game stadiums are all coming up black.

How can I get the stadiums to work in-game? I'm using ankit's stadiums.

thanks in advance, for answering a newbie's question.

They are at the bottom of the page on your team's roster page toward the right but not in the corner.

Okay this may be another dumb questiongoing along with the theme of the thread.. In past versions on the player screen you would see the player scouting and not the player history, It appears that that is reversed now...Is there a way to get it to show player Scouting as the default and have to click for player history.

I know the when of things will always depend on the amount of coding and other factors, but is it the style of Macus to make multiple patches or just one large patch?

I've had ootp since V4, and he puts out several a year. Really it has depended on the issues that have crept up.

Best. Thread. Title. Ever.

Design decision to change the default to history, now way to change it back. "Usually" several patches during a season.

Knight165 · 04-18-2004, 02:00 PM

Okay, I found out why I could not find the e-mail....I have a 24" WIDESCREEN monitor and unless someone can tell me how to resize the game window...I cannot see the bottom of the game screen. I also cannot move the game screen any higher(to view the bottom) than the default. Steve? any way to reduce the size of the screen like in previous versions. I'm stuck otherwise. Imagine...a High Definition Widescreen monitor and I can't play a simple text game!!

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure you are running at the correct resolution? I would think any 24" monitor would have 768 support vertically, even if it is widescreen or not.

Here is one. How and where do i see my coaches/scouts? Also how do i hire a new coach.

In OOTP5 it was easy to find, but either I've gone stupid suddenly or its in a different place.

Turn on coaches. The menu option won't appear unless they are enabled. It is in the same spot once they are turned on.
