New version of Pelican Stadium

Hi all,

Thanks to kcstengelsr for serving as an unwitting beta tester for me. I've been playing somewhat fast and loose with filenames etc. as I've done some kludgey things to get things working and never cleaned them up. I'm going to try to be better about this going forward and fix up some issues with some of my older parks, calling them version 1.2.

As a starter, Here's a link to the new version of Pelican Stadium. I'm calling it that since it literally says "Pelican Stadium" on the park I made, though elsewhere I was calling it Heinemann stadium (as I noted--fast and loose with names). I'm also going to go upthread and edit the relevant post with the new pointer.

For those of you who are curious, One can use TextEdit (or the PC equivalent) to go not only into the .mtl file (as is commonly for instance, to change the spectator appearance) but also into the .obj file. The specific Pelican Stadium problem was that I unknowingly had a bunch of pointers in the obj file to a directory that's on my computer but wasn't included in the zip file.

So, if you find yourself flailing around because some/most/all of a ballpark is showing up black, one possibility is that the pointers in the .mtl and/or .obj files are wrong. You may already know this, but I'm writing it here so that at least I won't forget it in the future.
