OTPBA Skin

theoldman47 · 03-15-2003, 02:00 PM

This is my first and very humble attempt at a new skin for OOTP5.
I don't plan on making anymore as it is very time consuming, although fun to make. Because of size restraints on posting pics here, it doesn't look as good as the full size.
Opinions solicited! Thanks.

where can we download at?

theoldman47 · 03-15-2003, 08:01 PM

Actually, I didn't plan to have it downloadable but if enough people want it and someone will put it on their site I will put it up for downloads. The only problem I have with it is the white lettering that comes up......wish someone would let us know what the two ini files with the colors and fonts are, in other words what goes with what in the game....then I could change the fonts so they are more readable.
And thanks for the comments.

I'll host it on Great Escape Baseball. Send it to dargone@cox.net.

Looks like you were able to change the default "field" image in the background. Would you mind sharing which file does that? The default one looks like Nintendo or something...I like your's better. That's one of the last things I'm looking to change on my new skin.

Thanks dargone....It may be a little too large to send by email though. I will have to zip it up and see what it looks like. I will have to wait until tomorrow to do it though as I have a full slate until tomorrow night, plus gotta watch the race!!!

As for the answer to changing the screen. Just find the default.bmp file in the graphics folder in your OOTP directory. Just make sure that the bmp you are going to use is 1024x768. And I would suggest putting it in a program and lightening it up a bit before you use it. Backup your original first though.

Again, thanks Dargone. If it is too large for my email program I will email anyway and let you know....

the default image is actually labled default in the graphics menu. You can substitue any image (.bmp of course) for it. You might wanna back up the old image. The default default.bmp is actually a shot of Fulton county stadium where the Atlanta Braves play.
