OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Changing Stadiums in Historical Exhibition Mode

ArquimedezPozo · 05-10-2020, 04:22 PM

I asked this in the General Discussions forum, but maybe it's better here - I'm not new to the game, but I'm new to a couple of the things I'm trying to do right now, including trying to add modded historical stadiums in as playable in a historical tournament with teams from multiple eras.

I've seen threads from older versions of the game that talk about going to a team page and adding a stadium just as you might in a regular season mode, but maybe things have changed in the last couple versions because I can't figure out where to do that - there doesn't seem to really be a team page in the historical exhibition mode. Best I can get is the dropdown on the play ball screen, but that just offers me the stadiums that are listed for the teams in the tournament, which - if not modern stadiums - just use the default.

As an example, I downloaded the Tiger Stadium 1980-1999 zip from Silvam14 and Adion, and copied them as described into the models folder, but got nothing in the exhibition. I tried going into a historical season sim and adding it to the Tigers there and it worked, but then I tried the exhibition again - still nothing.

The stadium listed is simply "Tiger Stadium" so I tried changing the file names from "tiger_stadium_1980" to just "tiger_stadium" and THEN the historical sim gave me the dropdown option of Tiger Stadium 1980... but it was still the default stadium.

So, I'm stuck, and would love some help - am I missing something obvious here? TIA.
