bctrackboi11's ballparks

Decided to take a crack at stadium editing after years of playing OOTP. My first ever mod is the Catholic Protectory Oval in New York, home of the Negro League's New York Lincoln Giants in the 1920s. The comically small dimensions (180 feet down the lines!) made for some unique statistics including Chino Smith's .451 average in 1929. I noticed in game there are some issues with the corner outfielders standing outside the fenceline but I wanted to share it anyway. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks to silvam for his easy to follow tutorials. You can read more about the stadium here.

Even with the single screenshot, it looks pretty good to me. You should reach out to some of the park makers for insight on getting the players positioned back in the park (not sure if they are running through walls even if positioned correctly - advice on that is beyond me). The dimensions don't matter other than the PbP on HR distance and the like. The factors drive the player performance. Will be curious how it plays and if you'll need to dial some of that back through testing.

All that said, I want to reiterate my main point - it looks great

Contact asrivkin, he had the same issues with his historic parks.

I don't know what happened but my .obj file isn't exporting correctly. I noticed when I went back to test it out I got the default generic stadium, so I looked at the obj size in the folder and it is only about 1 mb. I've tried exporting again, copy and pasting into a new file to export, and still the same issue. Anyone know how to fix it? I'm using Sketchup 17.

In the meantime, here is a stadium nobody asked for that does work. It's the softball/baseball field in Groom Lake, Nevada, otherwise known as Area 51. The field has been there since at least 1965. I used available models from the 3d warehouse to add in the few buildings around the field. Dimensions are approximate. You can read more about it here.

Sneak peek of what I am currently working on (aside from remaking the Catholic Protectory Oval)

Dyckman Oval has a fascinating history. It was the brief home of the New York Cubans in the 1930s until their owner Alex Pompez was put into prison for racketeering chargers. Not a lot of photos exist, so I had to take some creative liberties and do some research into the surrounding area. The field was reconfigured several times and the fences moved in and out, so I used an estimate of its earlier days from another Negro League researcher. This version is a combination of its early days to its last days before it was demolished in 1938.
