These are pure masterpieces.
It puts the icing on the cake with those fields, and adverts.
Huge thanks

T-Mobile Park Added to Stadiums 08.

Ballparks Mow Pattern Preview. A JPG for each individual ballpark with a preview of all mow patterns.

[MikeS369]

Well that's all of them. I hope you folks enjoy them and thank you for the kind words.

I'll probably add patterns from time-to-time but now it's time for me to start playing the game.

Outstanding stuff! Can't wait to use these once I actually have time to play the game myself. (The version previews are so helpful.)

AMAZING WORK!
Thank you for sharing your project with the OOTP community!!!

Really adds to the immersion.

Big update today. Once I finally started playing the game, I realized most fields were too bright. This update addresses that. This is a separate download because some people may prefer the brighter fields.

Adjusted field brightness of most ballparks.
Adjusted color of a few fields.
Redid American Family Field and Kauffman Stadium.

Example. Petco Park

How can we make these ourselves?

Mow Pattern Update 02 (added 06-19-2024)

Reduced brightness of Nationals Park, PNC Park and Truist Park. Redid Target Field. I will create new mow patter previews for these fields as soon as I can.

I'm hoping someone in this thread can help me. After the latest patch, I have lost these stadium mods. I always make a backup of the "ballparks" folder and copy it over after the patch, so I'm not sure what I did differently this time.

So far I have tried reimporting the "park name".pod file and copying all files out of the stadium folder with no success.

Can anyone confirm whether the 3D Model should reflect the mow patterns? I can't remember what it was before I patched.

I've uploaded my Park Profile (which reflects the mow pattern) and my 3D Model (which does not.)

same thing has happened to me...

This was mentioned in a thread on the general board:

TL;DR Apparently, you have to delete the new .ktx files in each folder for the game to pull the .webp files.

[dawg1isclear]

oh, will give it a shot....report on outcome to follow....

[dawg1isclear]

Bingo! Thanks for the assist!

[WavesOfActivity]

Awesome -- thank you. Mike's graphics here make such a huge difference, I didn't want to play any more games until I figured out what was going on.

Nice way to bork things up half way through the year. It a pain in the ass to fix this.

Here's the time consuming fix. DOUBLE CHECK FILE NAMES BEFORE DELETING FILES.

Choose your webp mow pattern and copy the files. Go to OOTP>data>ballparks>model>"Stadium Name" and paste you mow pattern into the folder.

Delete the Ground_day.ktx and Ground_night.ktx or as Sweed recommends rename the ktx files. I just delete them.

Copy all the mod files I included in the download. Stand_day.webp, Stand_night.webp ect.

Paste these into the OOTP>data>ballparks>model>"Stadium Name" folder

Delete all the .ktx files with the same name as the webp mod files. Or as Sweed recommends rename the ktx files. I just delete them.

If you want the behind homeplate advertising, you will have to do the same thing.

.ktx files will override webp files. That's why you have to delete those that have the same name as the mod files.

Once you finish with this process make a backup copy of your modded ballpark folder. I would also recommend you make a backup copy of the ballcaps, jersey_font, jerseys, logos, pants and socks folder if you have mod files or renamed everything to png. Lord knows when they will make these same changes to those files.

Here's my modded models folders with the webp files replacing the offending ktx files. I deleted ktx files. I did not rename them.

INSTALLATION

MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT MODELS FOLDER!!!

Unzip "models.zip".

Open the "models" folder.

Copy all the stadium files and paste into your "models" folder.

Thanks for doing this, but still seeing the offending ktx files in the file...

You shouldn't. Every webp file I include had its matching ktx file deleted. There will still be some ktx files in the folders. The ktx files that were not modded don't need to be deleted.

These are the models folders I am using and everything works.

[dawg1isclear]

ok, sounds good, and thanks again for putting this together!

Thanks for this, Mike.
