Love this utility, plan on heavily using it in my fictional universe starting tonight.
One very minor quibble: the park factors break down at non-standard distances. You can make fence distances long enough and fences high enough so that you get negative HR factors. And you can never get the triples factor over about 2.000 even with 450-500 foot fences, 10,000+ foot high altitude, and high walls. In real life Coors Field has a 2.000+ factor for triples with much less extreme conditions. But all of that is pretty easily worked around with manual entry of adjusted factors in OOTP.

And yeah, I know that the formulas don't really do well when you throw them a really odd park - take a look at the park Matt made way back in this thread. Someday I want to look into those caluclations more in-depth, but I'm not really a math guy so I doubt I could do much better than what's already there. |

Just a quick bump to say that I've moved the Park Generator to a new (and less crappy) host.
The link in the first post is updated, but just in case: OOTP Park Generator Everything seems to work, let me know if anything is broken. |

Also a bit perplexed by the day/night thing. Thanks. JP

It's not a perfect implementation since I haven't been able to limit it to the field area (it literally overlays the entire image), but you can resize the image and adjust the opacity to your liking. The mow pattern is a bit different, as that is limited to the grass parts of the field. In the example image, the Creative Commons logos (the one in the outfield and the one behind the plate) are "overlay" images, and the honeycomb pattern is a custom mow pattern: What is the error message you're getting? I'm able to upload both images just fine in Chrome on my PC. The day and night images that come in the zip file are intended for use with the "broadcast" view in-game. Just put those images somewhere and assign them as the day and night pictures, the same as OOTP has been able to do for several years now. |

Is there a chance you could make it so dimensions could be bigger? I have only played with CF and if you make it over around 470 ft it gets chopped off so you cannot see the deepest part/distance markers

To be honest, I don't know. I've never really looked into that before.

Love this A LOT!!!! Many thanks for making it.
Finally, The EMPIRE Stadium, (home to the New York Hawks), lives at last! Just imagine an EPIC Hawk statue with wings outstretched in an enclave just beyond that centerfield wall, and a couple Hall Of Fame displays in 'the box' as well. ***Edit*** Dang, just noticed that myself. Did it to mine too. Still love my park though.

I can't believe I missed this thread until today. Outstanding contribution by Eriq.

I too, just came across this today.
Super great program. Thanks Eriq for creating it and most importantly being so willing to share it with us! |

This is awesome!!! This past year have been huge in the mod community! When I first started playing with 15, there were no utilities. Now I can make my own logos, uniform, and now stadiums easily! The next great utility should be a schedule maker and then ootp will be complete

Just checking to ensure I'm not doing something wrong, the game is not capable of importing the XML file with the stadium info correct? All I'm really doing is importing the pictures, the rest must be entered manually correct?

That's my understanding, as well, with the caveat that something may be worked out, maybe in time for v17.

Yes, the XML is just kinda there because it's easy to generate, it doesn't really do anything at the moment. I may implement a "reload" feature where you can upload the xml file and recreate the park, but that's about it.
I've tried to get the utility to generate the .prk files that OOTP uses when it imports and exports parks but so far haven't been able to create a working .prk file. I know what all the bytes of the file format are thanks to Markus, I just haven't been able to get the utility to generate a file that actually works. |

This is fantastic. If we get the ability to generate and import into the actual game it will be a dream come true. As is you have taken all of this to a new fantastic level.
Thank you. |

If I use this to create ballparks for my fictional game, do I need to go through and edit ball locations? I know I would have to re-arrange where it would show the players and runners.

Auto-calculating ball locations and player coordinates is on my list - in fact, ball locations should already be done since I had to try and figure those out when I was fighting the .PRK file format, although I've never tested them out. |

Deleted, I figured it out. Thanks for making this it has really brought a new level to my fictional league.
