I was looking at them and noted some things with the Astrdome parks: 1965-1970 only has a .prk file in the folder & 1992-1999 has no D&N pictures.

I fixed the 1965 astrodome folder, not sure what happened there. The 1992 astrodome uses the Astrodome_1995.jpg for both day and night since it is a dome. I will upload soon. (will take a while)

New ZIP is available now.

Unzip the contents of your newly downloaded stadium into the OOTP ballparks folder, then go to the ballpark of your team and import it, look for the .prk file in your ballpark to import.

Is the individual file available, linked from the thread's front page?

No unfortunately. I’m going to be getting away from maintaining the individual files.m on the first post. If I do create anything new or make a good size update to a particular park, I sill probably add a link to the post where I announce it.

silvam 14 are the parks newer than the ones you did last year, do I need to replace the ones from last year. I just copy my ballparks folder from 2022 into 2023 folder. Do i need to copy the ballparks in your latest zip or are they the same thanks for your help

There are two new ones. The others are the same with some updates as mentioned. As the astrodome and memorial stadium names have changed due to the years, you might want to replace all of those

Silvam,

I downloaded the new pack to make sure all the names and stadiums matched. The ERA stats file imports the correct stadium, in the correct year. But the ballpark factors always default to the .prk file and not the correct numbers in the ERA stats file. Is there any reason that it would be defaulting to that when the offseason hits?

Example:

Metrodome 1982-1983 (1988 season):

.PRK File

AVG LHB 1.051
AVG RHB 1.015
Doubles 1.110
Triples 1.387
HR Overall 1.056
HR LHB 1.129
HR RHB 1.017

ERA Ballparks File

AVG LHB 1.019
AVG RHB 1.013
Doubles 1.046
Triples 1.097
HR Overall 1.000
HR LHB 1.033
HR RHB 0.980

I thought I read somewhere that the park factors code is broken in the game. I don’t really know what the status is. I had toyed with the idea of updating the factors in the prk file to reflect the era ball park, but what do you do when the park is spanning so many years in many cases?

Completely agree, with all of the different eras, it would make it almost impossible to have them match. If the code is broken, that would explain things because I am at a loss for what else I could do. The only thing solution I have noticed is if you create a new folder and move the .prk files and images to the other folder next to the models folder, it will update the factors correctly each offseason. The downside is that when new stadiums are "built" and updated by the game, you would manually have to click on the images and .obj file.

** FWIW, I play almost strictly historical and these stadiums make the experience incredibly enjoyable. Thank you for all of your hard work

Do these values have any effect on gameplay, or are they just primarily informational?

I think they certainly have some effect on outcomes, how much I do not know. To be honest, I don’t have too much of a handle on these numbers. I’m just a 3D model guy. Haha

I just wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze for 1991Twins is doing.

I noticed when I load the Silvam mod file for Oracle Park 2020 I see in the 2D photo includes all the ads (especially on the LF wall) but when I open it in 3D the photo no longer includes the LF wall ads and others but has only a few of the modded file ads shown. I opened the "models" file in OOTP and then opened the Oracle Park 2020 file I opened the day and night photos for this stadium and I see a photo with all the correct modded files. Why does my 3D version not include these ads as in the 2D previous screen photo. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I don't notice this in any other of my modded Silvam stadiums. I did notice this same problem in OOTPBB 22 with this Oracle Park 2020 file......I used another Oracle Park 2020 fresh download just to see if I would get the same results and I do.

I have imported the zip file and have it in the ballparks folder. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get to this screen in the game. All I can find is the Ballpark Construction Kit under the "Game" dropdown menu. Can someone please direct me on how to get to this screen where I can import the ballpark.
Thank you

Go to the team you want to make this the stadium for.
