Saving logos

[Katsox]

I am having trouble saving logos in my historical replay. When I go into modifying team colors, etc. I load in the logo (in this case from the 1976 Red Sox). It changes it to the logo I am looking for. After saving the game and closing out the next time I log back in it reverts back to the original Red Sox logo. How do I save the '76 logo so it doesn't change when I log out?

Change the year in the logo name to your game year. If it already matches your game year, then go into your saved games news\html\images\team_logos and delete all those original red sox logos. Then load the one you want to use, exit and restart ootp. That should fix it.
If logos have a year in their name, then they will change automatically (on Jan. 1) with the game year and only change when the game year matches the year(s) the logo was actually used in real life.
So for example, say you have a red sox 1976 and a red sox 1978 logo and your game year is 1975. When the game year reaches Jan. 1 1976, it'll use the 1976 logo and continue using it till 1978. Then it will use the 1978 logo.
Hope that makes sense..

Thanks again Bigrod for your advice! The big issue I keep having is whenever I delete logos out of the saved games news\html\images\team_logos folder, they keep coming back. Usings the Red Sox as the example, in that saved games news\html\images\team_logos folder there's a bunch of different sized glossy logos that go from small to big. I delete them all. I then go to the game and insert the one I want to use. I save the game and close out. When I log back in it reverts to the same glossy logo and all those different sized ones are back in the saved games news\html\images\team_logos folder. Not sure how to permanently delete them. I'm sure it's something basic I am not doing!

You're welcome, but seems I didn't help much...yet.
Post the exact name of the red sox logo you want to use and the name of the one the game wants to use...
sounds to me like there's a naming problem as that's usually 99.9% of the reason the game doesn't want to use one. You can manually load anyting, but if that name isn't 100% correct, ootp will just revert back to the one you're trying to replace.

So the one I want to use is in this folder:

Downloads\OOTP Mods\Logos\Logos.... and is entitled Boston_Red_Sox_1976-2013_0C2340_C8102E (this is the 1976 Red Sox logo).

The one the game keeps defaulting to is in this folder:

Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 15\saved_games\Redsox76.lg\news\html\images\team_l ogos..... in this folder there are 8 Red Sox circle glossy logos named boston_red_sox, boston_red_sox_16, boston_red_sox_25, boston_red_sox_40, boston_red_sox_50, boston_red_sox_60, boston_red_sox_90, boston_red_sox_110 (they are different sized circle glossy logos).

Any team in my created 1976 season that has a circle glossy logo, be it majors or minors, will not save the logo I am trying to use and revert back to the circle golssy ones. Like I said when I delete those logos they always come back after saving the game and closing out and then coming back in. Very strange and confusing!!

Boston_Red_Sox_1976-2013_0C2340_C8102E should be in ootp's main logos folder. It won't use it from the downloads folder even if you manually load it from there. It will temporarily, but when you restart ootp, it again looks to the logos folder for the correct logo. That's why yours is not sticking.

Perfect... Thanks again for the assistance!!
