Paulloukes, I have a question about Minute Maid. Does the "Lexus (ad 1)" ad appear anywhere but behind home plate. I have been playing with altering the ad files so that the ads behind home plate are not the OOTP generic ones but was wondering if you found they showed up elsewhere.

I have found that the only way to change the behind home plate is in the Ad01 file. It doesn't show up other places from that file in that stadium, But, it will show up in other stadiums....behind home plate. There are only 4 options in the Ad01 file, so I try to select NATIONAL ads there for behind home plate. Hope that makes sense. I did use Lexus in other places on Stand file to show on other location at Minute Maid.

You only need them IF there are things that have changed. Most times there are things that need to be updated for accuracy on both stand and alpha to be realistically reflective. The Ad01 only impacts the signs behind home plate. Hope that helps.

That is pretty much what I thought. I have edited a few of the AD files. For anyone who wants them, here are my versions of the Ads which only have official sponsors of MLB. These files will replace all of the ads behind home plate for the stadiums. Download them and put them in the documents/OOTP Baseball 22/ballparks/models/advertising folder

Here is the comparison.... I was really proud of the Coca Cola sign in centerfield at Minute Maid.
In T-Mobile the stars are the Edgar's Sign in Left field and the Hit it Here cafe sign in right field club level.
And the Geico Gecko with a bat on the left of center field scoreboard.

That darn Toyota dealers signage in the right of center walkway was NOT easy here either. So much darn pink in this stadium, LOL!

Some Ads can't go in the exact spots in some ballparks..... But this is Dang close. Enjoy!

micropterus58 · 05-20-2021, 12:44 PM

nuwildcat, thanks for the advertisements. Silvam14 (I think) did this years ago for his historical stadiums.

micropterus58 · 05-20-2021, 12:48 PM

Truist Park. Home of the Atlanta Braves. I had to fire my shipping department because they did not release this stadium when it was done.

micropterus58 · 05-20-2021, 12:57 PM

Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum. Home of the Oakland Athletics.

paulloukes · 05-21-2021, 05:00 PM

Here is Texas Globe Life Field..... Some Ads can't line up perfectly, but this is very close to perfect...... Enjoy!

paulloukes · 05-21-2021, 05:02 PM

Pretty Close...

Just a reminder. If anybody wants to put together a Steam Workshop package, let me know. I don't have the Steam version. I don't know how to make the files available to download for Steam users. I do have Steam for other games. So if you can help I can provide the files.

I'm working on some upgrades on Progressive Field. Primarily, the left Field Beer Porch sign and other signage upgrades.... Will post files this week.

paulloukes · 06-01-2021, 09:36 PM

Updated Versions with highlight of Proudly Brewed in Ohio Miller Lite Beer Porch Sign..... Enjoy

paulloukes · 06-01-2021, 09:41 PM

Key visual of Progressive Updates

paulloukes · 06-02-2021, 01:30 AM

Building off of awesome prior version of Fennway, I started playing around with the alpha blend file and was able to add the Samuel Adams Porch Sign, Bank of America, New Balance and John Hancock signs.

Also, updated the taller signs on the Monster.

Still working, but here's a sneak peek.

Sweed · 06-02-2021, 09:02 AM

Awesome work on Fenway Paulloukes! I d'loaded your new Progressive yesterday and the new Lite Beer Porch adds even more to the atsmosphere.

If this is an ongoing project for you I would vote for Wintrust and Budweiser signs above the LF and RF scoreboards at Wrigley

micropterus58 · 06-02-2021, 06:18 PM

Good job on Progressive and Fenway. Originally I was not able to edit alphablend files using Paint Shop Pro X2 or 2021. After editing a number of stadiums I used Paint.net to open the file, save as a PNG and then edit in PSP and then convert back to WEBP. A real pain in the butt. PSP opened other WEBP files without a problem. There may be a few other stadiums that can be improved. Maybe you can figure out how to modify the left field banners at Guaranteed Rate ,CWS, (the brick red parts). The original text always shows when I change the red banners to black. I could not delete or change the text.
