A Question for the Old Timers

Big Orange · 10-31-2017, 03:57 PM

I've bought the last 10 editions of OOTP, but haven't played much since about OOTP 11. I loved the gameplay but remember it being very frustrating to load player photos, ballparks, team insignia and so forth.

I just bought 18. Has it become easier to get real player photos and park images into the game? If so, can you point me to the instructions of how to do that?

Many thanks for any help offered.

there are historical face pacs and ball historical ball parks in the add-ons central for mods.
here's a link on how to get that server loaded.

once you find the file you want, simply download it. After it's been downloaded the mod will say "INSTALL" and click on that - it'll load everything where it belongs, as long as you haven't changed any defaults.

steam also has workshop central, but i am not certain what's on it currently, as it's been nearly 2 months since i've used my account. i almost always use my stand-alone version for game play. Steam for testing.

good luck.

if things are named properly, it should work as-is... like a mod pack mitch mentions, but even if you make your own at some point.

also, when you load a game there's a "re-load all logos"** checkbox [sic] when you initially choose a league to Load (**similar words, if different)

that's really made it easy when i've found missing logos in my entire world except for a handful of teams... i started going team by team auto-loading, then remembered about 1/2 through the majors i was working 10x harder than i had to.
