PING: For jp2977 From Eugene Church

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, Forest City is going to be the Oaks, in at least one of my leagues and/or leagues where there will be a Forest City team present, whether from EC or you or anyone else, for sure. I don't know if I'll use the Firebirds nickname for any such team just yet, though. But in the overall alignment that you decided not to use, they most likely will be the Oaks, and they certainly will not be from a national capital on any relevant big map of mine. Colortown and Sligo will be the actual national capitals for the relevant nations, in fact, jg2977, with Colortown on the Great Lakes in the southern country and Sligo somewhere in the northern country, in any case. CD out.

But if the text for Cold Creek is on two lines, we may still have the same kind of problems with appearances for them, I think, unfortunately. Just so you know, jg2977. CD out.

If you do run into the same kinds of problems with the text appearing twice, then you may have to ask for help.

Well, seeing as I don't have 23 yet, I'm not experiencing the double issues yet, of course, jg2977. The latest version I have is 22, and I've not really gotten into it yet, but hope to do so soon. Everything I've made through now should be good for any compatible version at least through 22, I think. Just so you know my situation related to such things at the present time, you see. CD out.

Looks like my new league is ready to go. All my graphics are updated. I finished more quickly than I thought I would. I found a Firebirds set by low that has a similar color scheme to Forest City, so I will use those.

EC, I replaced the Red Bluff Red Sox with the Redwood City Rocketmen. I was wondering if you knew how to change it on the IPA map?

Yes, but it is tedious to do... I have to load it up in paint and erase Red Bluff and replace it with Redwood City... I'm not well-versed in doing it and not very skilled... lots of relearning to do... lots of trial and error... but I will do it for you... but give me a little time.

You probably will be able to see that I have done this as the background colors will be alter a little bit... plus the font may not match what I have used previously... I did not keep any record of the font I used originally.

No problem! Just took the "wood" from Beechwood and the "city" from another part of the map and used photoshop magic lol

[jg2977]

Brilliant. I need to do simple graphics adjustments like that someday.

jg2977, here is the camera view I use to play out my game... click on the image to enlarge.

Are your camera views better than this?

[jg2977]

Here's my main view: I wish I could post a video so that you can see what it looks like in action. The dynamic cam zooms in and out properly so that you can almost always see the ball in the air and the play on the field simultaneously. One of these days I'll have to figure out how to post video clips of the gameplay.

I can see why you don't see fly balls - there's not enough of the sky showing in your view.

[jg2977]

Here's a view of the center fielder tracking down a fly ball while it's in the air.

[jg2977]

The dynamic camera switches to a seat behind the 3rd base dugout on a fly ball to right field.

What stadium are you using for Bayview?

Maybe I should use some other stadium than the minor league default one I am using... maybe that would improve my views.

Do all of your stadiums show the entire flight of a fly ball?

Back in my other IPA I used Target Field. Vikings reminded me of Minnesota, so I chose the Twins park.

Yes, I can see the fly balls every time, unless they're hit extremely high, but the shadow on the field and the outfielders tell me where the ball is. That's only a small fraction of the time that I can't see the entire flight path.

[jg2977]

Here's the stadium that I use for the Blue Lake Blue Caps. The setting and stadium colors are a perfect fit for them. It's called Blue Harbor Field.

[jg2977]

Here's the park that I'm using for Belle Plaine. It's one of eriqjaffe's fictional creations. I think it's perfect for the Musketeers.

jg2977, I plan to just use one ballpark for my leagues... I much prefer small stadiums with no outfield bleachers... my IPA stadium capacities are 6,000 to 12,000... prefer minor league ballparks, but the game only has one default small ballpark... that is what I use.

I can't figure out why the outfield lights are cut off in my game... they are visible in the ballpark editor, but not visible when I play out the games.

Are your lights standards completely visible when you play out a game?
