Updating Cities in OOTP14

Rayzor · 10-29-2013, 07:12 AM

I'm not sure if it's been cover before in another thread but I was wondering if there is a way to add cities to the game?, I notice when I'm making a game w/Canada cities that there is some are missing, there is only 2 ciries listed for the Yukon (Dawson City NOT listed).

Is there a update file or can I add them myself?.

I've found that cities outside the US are flaky at best. That being said, there is a way to add cities, I believe this will help your quest along.

Indeed. I'm still (very slowly) working on a mod to fix some of the problems with England in the world default file.

Looks like the manual has the steps to add cities.

Out of the Park Baseball Manual

Just a heads up - I added a lot of cities by manually editing the World XML. What I found later was, any city/town/community that I put in with less than 1000 population automatically defaults to 1000 in game. So I had a lot of towns with a population of exactly 1000. I fixed it of course by editing the XML again.

I imagine that most probably won't put in cities with that small a population anyway, but I was doing a small league that was rural based and all players came from small towns/villages. So I wanted towns with populations of 150 upward.

What did u use for the finances & how many games per team did they play, it sounds like a semi-pro league or beer baseball league.

No financials - a 40 game season played just on weekends, so teams played 2 games a week. I modeled it after the local league I played in during my younger years.
