‘new’ older old-time-ballpark images

[thehef]

I modified several of the existing old-time-ballparks (that were originally created by Henry, I believe) so they would be a little more appropriate for the early 20th century. Specifically, I removed lights (and in most cases, the lights’ shadows), and minimized or eliminated modern-looking buildings & stuff.

Those that I changed are:

Boston-otb.jpg (fenway) – removed lights & shadows
Braves-otb.jpg – removed lights & shadows, added American Flag (was missing from flagpole)
Comiskey-otb.jpg – removed lights (no shadows exist)
Crosley-otb.jpg – removed lights & shadows
Ebbets-otb.jpg – removed lights & shadows
Forbes-otb.jpg – removed light poles
Griffith-otb.jpg – removed lights & shadows
Polo-otb.jpg – removed lights (no shadows exist)
Seals-otb.jpg – removed lights & shadows
Shibe-otb.jpg – removed light poles
Sportsmans-otb.jpg – removed light poles & shadows
Wrigley-otb.jpg – removed skyscrapers in background
Yankee-otb.jpg – removed lights & minimized buildings in background

No lights were visible in Briggs-otb.jpg. I did not remove the lights from the LA Coliseum & Milwaukee images (although I may remove them from Milw at some point).

Other ballparks that I edited (that apparently are not part of the 16 OTB series; not sure who created them) are:

KC-municipal.jpg – removed lights (no shadows exist)
Jarry Park.jpg – removed lights (no shadows exist) & replaced Canadian flag w American flag
Colt.jpg – removed lights (no shadows exist)
Exhibition.jpg – removed lights (no shadows exist)
WrigleyLA.jpg – removed lights (no shadows exist)

Even though Jarry, Colt, and The Ex were built well after lights & night games had been introduced, they looked to be fairly small & old-style ballparks in the images - perfect for use as early 20th century parks. So since I wanted more of those for my sims, I removed the lights, etc.

If anyone is interested, let me know and I can either post here or put in photo bucket or something…

Because I also want some fake parks to use for real (early 20th century, pre-OTB) ones like Huntington Grounds, South End Grounds, Bennett Park, Columbia Park, etc., and for my minors, I am also working on some similar modifications to some of the fictional stadiums that Teflon Skies and Dream Teams (and perhaps others?) created. I’ll be happy to make them available if there is any interest.

I for one am very interested,however you want to make them available is up to you,but I woul;d recommend filefront which makes it very,very easy to share files,I just posted all of the updated facepacks there.

I'd like a copy please!

Sounds like a good idea. You could upload to PadresFan's site.

FYI, these are now on PadresFan's site...

These now suit my fictional league even better than before - thanks very much for your work on this.

Cool, and you're welcome! Stay tuned because - as a I mentioned above - I'm working on mods to some fictional parks (created by TeflonSkies, DreamTeams, and perhaps others), to remove lights and minimize buildings. I'm also working on some "new" fictional parks, basically taking their work and Henry's and coming up with some hybrids, etc...

[Tyke]

That would be great - I'll keep watching!

[thehef]

Just fyi, I added the readme file to the OP. It has a little more info than the OP on the parks included & the mods, etc.

[clamel]

any adds to this.

I like this for one....

thanks mate.
