How to edit the dat file for parks

Deitrus · 05-09-2004, 09:39 PM

I want to include my own parks that I made into my sim. How do I edit the park dat files so that I can do this? Which program do I use? I have excell & access and a few others. Thanks.

Search on the Forums for something called Stadium Editor.

If you copy the parks dat and config to the create folder then the parks available when you create a new league instead of having to copy them to your league folder every time.
Also i think Scott Vibert has some weathe info for ball parks.
You may want to keep an eye on that because i know in ootp5 we had games in october were it was -15 degrees unless you corrected the weather data. Takes a little time but just looks better and once you do it just save the wether data to the create folder so you dont have to do it every time.

One thing you should get into the habit of doing is making a backup until your sure you dont need the backup.
