Another Ballpark Question

HuachucaThunder · 02-23-2014, 08:04 PM

While I am not new to OOTP, I am somewhat new when it comes to loading mods and such. My question is this, I recently downloaded the ballpark set on OOTPMODS (from gambo) and was looking to installing them for my league. The question/problem I am having is even though they show up in by ballparks folder in OOTP, they have the .prk extension. Do I need to find the actual picture for the park to have it as the field view? When I try to load it like it is, it just gives me a blank screen where the ballpark should be.
Any help would be appreciated.

Each .prk file is matched with a specific ballpark photo(s). Does the download not include both photos and .prk files?

Not that I can see. Perhaps I do not have the correct program to view the photo. I have tried both Win Zip and 7-zip and each time I just get a new folder that comes up and when I click on it, nothing appears.

I think you have to download his ballpark photos. See this thread: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ml#post3488902

.PRK files are not photos. They are data pieces that you can import and the ballpark will use the info from the .PRK file, like wall heights, factors, and coordinates.

That explains it. Appreciate the clarification on this. Thanks for the help.
