***Please Read*** My newest stadium updates and compatibility with earlier OOTP versions

[silvam14]

Wanted to give everyone a heads up that some , but not all of my stadiums will have weird looking crowds in earlier versions of OOTP due to a new seat color feature in OOTP21.

I will be announcing new updates to every single park (and some new historical parks) soon. But wanted to get this out there.

- OOTP21 has introduced the ability for stadiums to have different color empty seats. They added RED, BLUE, and GREY in addition to the usual GREEN

- I have added these colors where I thought thew were needed to certain stadiums. (they do look great!)

Problem is, in earlier versions, they don't have that capability so a different texture is used in its place, an ugly one with numbers on it. Check out the pics of exhibition stadium with nice new blue seats in OOTP21 vs the ugly texture in OOTP20

I'll post the options in the next post

If you haven't made the jump to OOTP21 yet, you have a few options:

1 - Make the jump to OOTP21

2- don't download any of my newest updates to my stadiums (if you do, back up previous version as I don't intend to keep older versions)

3 - you can make a simple change to the park .mtl file to fix the crowd textures where you see this.

I'll explain number 3

to edit the (park filename).mtl file do the following:

- Open the park folder (../ballparks/models/<Park Name>)
- Open the mtl file in a text editor (notepad should be fine
- Hit CTRL-F to do a find
- Type in "seating_popularity" (no quotes)
- you want to find the entry or entries with a color specified. In this case you want to find the one that says "_blue" and delete that part

-there should only be one line like that per park, but check to make sure just in case.

- Click save and you should be good.

Hope this helps

Just WOW ! As a fan of baseball I have made the trip from Buffalo to Toronto for games quite often. That's exactly how I remember the "EX". Your creations are amazing and I appreciate your efforts. Though I use current stadiums, yours are always a pleasure to view. Please keep posting these. THANKS !!!!

I am still running OOTP 20 and I just downloaded your new Miller Park 2020. I was able to make the changes you described to remove the large numbers from the seating. However, I seem to be having trouble with some of the textures in the 3D Model.

The 2D pictures show all the textures you created for the park. The 3D model shows some of the textures but turns a bunch of them into black rectangles. Is there another tweak I need to make in order to fix this?

For whatever reason, it seems like it's the .jpg textures that show up as black boxes while the .png textures show up fine.
