Generic Photos
 

I got kind of tired of some of the generics and figured I'd share the easy way of replacing them with those who do not know. This is much easier than saving the same Generics of your choice under many filenames in the various IMAGE folders.

Here's the path right from the beginning:

My Computer
C: (or whatever your hard drive is)
Program Files
OOTB Developments
TBCB2
Skins
Default
Common

Just d/l the pic here and replace the one with the same filename in that COMMON folder. NOTE: You MUST leave it in .bmp format. Otherwise, crash city.

Here's a judge



EDIT (2/10/08):

For 2.5, the file structure to find the default generics is:

C
Program files
OOTP Developments
TBCB 2.5
Data
Skins
Default
Common

Files must now be saved as .PNG
Copies of generic photos for 2.5 begin on Page 3 of this thread

ringside expert . . . a bunch of your experts will now look like Larry!!

Announcer

Referee . . .I hope to do better soon!!

cornerman . . . as I like to say, beats a blurry face . .

If you're unsteady when navigating your directories or aren't sure you want to make the change, just save the current files in the COMMON folder under another name like ORIGdefimg_referee, so they will be easy to find and change back later if you wish.

In bmp format, my generic venue is too big to post . . but the filename should be:

defimg_venue

should you find one you like, just rename it and save it in the COMMON folder (being sure to use a .bmp). I just use "generic.jpg" in the venue directory and change the format and name.

better announcer already

Good stuff Thunder!

Very nice Will, thanks!

Can you find a good spit bucket for the corner? Something old and gnarly.

Unknown Announcer #1

(remove the _01) to use file in the "Common" folder

Unknown Announcer #2

(remove the _02) to use file in "Common" folder

Unknown Announcer #3

(remove the _03) to use file in "Common" folder

Unknown Announcer #4

(remove the _04) to use file in "Common" folder

This is the announcer from the Chad Dawson card at the New Haven Athletic Center last year. I don't know his name. He's the one I'm going to use for now...

Unknown Announcer #5

(remove the _05) to use file in "Common" folder

Unknown Announcer #6

(remove the _06) to use file in "Common" folder

Unknown Announcer #7

(remove the _07) to use file in "Common" folder

Unknown Announcer #8

(remove the _08) to use file in "Common" folder

Hopefully someone can identify any of these guys...

Only thing I know about that guy is he was the German announcer for the Klitchsko vs. Byrd fight card.

8 unknown announcers . . . Sweet

And another:

Gong!

I'm thinking this is something like you were looking for. . . These are my guys!!

Pretty good referee upgrade

Generic White Guy

Generic Black Guy

Generic Hispanic Guy (at least this is what I am now using)

Generic Arabian Guy (at least this is what I am using now)

Generic Asian Guy (at least this is what I am using now)

Generic "Unknown" Guy

Veerry nice Rom! Did those come from a game?

I poked around to find pics from EA Sports Fight Night Round 3. This are acually from Fight Night Round 2.

Great idea & much appreciated.

As pretty much a computer illiterate, I really appreciate that you included a simple tutorial. If I can do it, anyone can.

Perfect Will! That's a great spit bucket.

Question: Is the game actually coded to pick up on the skin tone for the generics? I had thought that part was ornamental at this juncture.

Those pics are just the face shots . . not used for animation.
maybe some day!!

Also, I'd love to see the background in the animated pics have more people on their feet for a knockdown and perhaps another for KO. I'd do one up, but all I have/can use are Paint and Microsoft Office Picture Manager. I'm guessing there are some better graphics programs out there. Does anyone know?

P.S. Chris, I did some pretty good editing if I do say so myself on the spit bucket to get a flower shadow out of there. But a whole crowd would take years from scratch with Paint.

What I meant is, will the game recognize and use the correct tone-generic image?

Great job again on the spit bucket - it will be in use shortly. By the way, you should re-post your venue generics in this thread. Top notch idea.

In bmp format, it is over 100KB, and thus will not post.

Here is the jpg. To use it as I suggested with the others in this thread, you must save it as a bmp. Then place it in the "Common" folder as outlined in the first post in the thread.

In order to save it as a bmp, you can use the "export" function if you have MOPM, OR save this to your desktop, right click on it and choose "Open With" and then select Paint. From there save it again (this time it will be a bmp) and move it as outlined.

I don't know. I guess I'll go find out now.

No sweat, glad to help.

I'm always amazed at what gets a lot of response on the board and what doesn't. Some pretty good threads go by the boards with little fanfare.

During the role-play tourney I posted an offer to run a role play universe and got no response. Now there's a similar thread with like 60 responses. And honestly, I thought very few people would take an interest in this. I'm glad thats not the case.

YES it does! I guess because of the "Skin color" option on the "Fighter" Tab, it looks for the right pic.

Cool! I may try adding these tonight.

Here's another one for the "Unknown" fighter. While poking around for figher images, I found one with a good shadow and cropped it.

Great new movie!

Maybe I was off topic with that movie poster post? Oh well, it had to be seen. It was discovered during my research for more ring card girls.

Great poster, M.J.!
 

Beats the original all hollow ...
