OOTP 22-25 stadium advertising editing - Page 15

Euguene are you familiar with where the ballparks folder is in your OOTP folder? Probably in your documents folder if you are on windows?

Yes, I have placed custom stadiums in that ballpark folder... that was years ago when TeflonSkies was creating his magnificent green mansions.

Yes, I can locate that folder.

There are a couple other stadiums that use different number ad file names. Most AL parks use the ones I've updated. If anyone needs others let me know.

BUT this does update Busch two behind plate.

micropterus58 told me to do it myself... so I tried to do it using his instructions... I found it too difficult to do because I am computer-challenged... I am not lazy and am willing to spent the time, but I just can't do what is required.

Is it asking too much for someone to add a few billboard signs to this default stadium?... I would provide the computer billboard signs that I would like... or the designer can pick them if they preferred it that way.

I would like to have 8-9 signs on the fence, if that is possible... or how many you can fit in... I would leave a small space in center field for the batter's background.

I totally understand if this takes too much time to do... I would just like to know.

Would appreciate your help or advice.

This is the custom view I created for my leagues... I use it for my action camera view... all I need is daytime only... all my league games are played in the daytime.

I'm not good enough to make new ads for the ST park but the files that need to be replaced are in the "advertisements" folder. The same one Paul mentions in post #275.

The "taco" sign is actually the bottom third of the "ad.29.webp". I did find a Coke logo, resized it to 256*256 and tried it in the game. However the "Coca Cola" is in the middle of the pic so I ended up with just a red ad board.
The trick would be to find a pic with it's label in the bottom third, like the taco one included, and a graphic that fills the rest as this ad is also used in it's full version in other spots in the game.

The other OF wall signs are the same as the "taco" and could be replaced too if one can figure out how to make it fit. Probably not that hard but not in my limited skill set.

At least I think that would work.

This is the taco file I used as an example. You can see how the LF wall uses just the bottom third. Note I had to change the file from webp to png so I could upload the image.

Sweed, thank you for your help... really appreciate you and your contributions to the OOTP Community.

I guess my request must take a lot of time and talent to do... looks like it is way above my pay grade computer-wise.

Ok, I can talk you through putting Paul's new logos in there pretty easily. I'll post nore instructions when I get home this evening.

My goodness, we have a bunch of nice people on this forum.

Take your time, Goat... whenever it is convenient... no rush at all.

Thank you.

Sweed · 10-23-2022, 01:15 AM

Eugene, just to show what can be done. The problem is finding a pic that has something usable on the bottom third and yet will also work at full size like the "taco" pic. Here I just used a pic of stacked Bud cans. So it works on the wall and also in "full size" situations. Not really a professional look, unfortunately.

Maybe one of the mod gurus fluent in photoshop could create images that would work? IE for Budweiser one could have something like a 6 pack of bottles above "Budweiser" cut from another image. As I said I'm not that guy so have no idea how hard or easy that is to do?

Anyway here is my amateur effort.

Not bad at all, Sweed... nope, not bad at all.

Ok Eugene, sorry for the delays...
Under ballparks, go in the models folder, then open the advertising folder and put the new files in there, It will ask if you want to overwrite and you do want to

Thanks a bunch, Goat... looks simple... will give it a try.

Added some upgrades to Oakland Coliseum today..... Ray Fosse Patch in Left, Xfinity color, Dewalt to Craftsman in Right, Scoreboards (Day Sean Murphy / Night Seth Brown) etc...

CBLCardinals · 11-02-2022, 11:23 AM

Stadium gurus....

Can you help with a request?

I moved Tampa Bay Rays to Ybor City Stadium. Can someone help with a Rays-themed scoreboard as a *.png file I can place in game?

Thanks in advance - you all are the best!!

BaseballGOAT, after I put the files in the folder, how do I install them in the stadium?

Will they automatically be installed?... or will I have to do it?

they should automatically show up. all they are doing is replacing the defualt files that ship with the game. all stadiums will pull from that folder

Read the first post again. As long as you copy the files to the correct folder they will appear correctly.

PSUColonel · 12-25-2022, 12:13 AM

Are these still a work in progress?, or are they pretty much complete in form? Fantastic work!!
