manfred123 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Overlays work in all stadiums except: Old Fenway Sportsman Griffith Metrodome Forbes Crosley Polo Grounds Shibe In these stadiums, the overlay defaults to the regular EA overlay. Does anyone know why that is? It doesn't make any different whether the stadium is the original or the mod (e.g. Forbes). I use Trues Comcast overlay but it doesn't make any difference which overlay is used. The only thing I see in common is that all the parks, with the possible exception of Metrodome, are the most historic parks: Qualcom, Cinergy, Tiger, etc. -- no problem.

NYYKing Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 i've noticed the old timer stadiums use a slightly different overlay to match the cooperstown effect. I guess the two overlays are separate and you need to mod it separately. Not sure about Metrodome though, ill have to check it out [edit] ok, i just checked it out. my YES network overlay appeared in Metrodome without a problem, but as predicted, the old timer stadium had the cooperstown effect, therefore the alternate overlay.

biker_jim_uk Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I believe the file is coopov.big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manfred123 Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 I believe the file is coopov.big Yep, and Trues has just included cooplay.big and coopov.big files in his Custom Overlay mod so it works in the stadiums that use the Cooperstown effect (see above list). A great big thanks to Trues! Here's the link to the mod update for anyone who's interested: Custom Overlay for MVP 2005 v1.1 8/4/05 http://www.mvpmods.com/modules.php?name=Do...load&cid=12#cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manfred123 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 I know, it was me who asked for it Thank you. And we now know how to put our favorite overlay in the classic stadium for ourselves -- thanks to Trues' response to bodhiball's question in the "using overlays in classic stadiums" thread: Yeah, just make copies of the modded igonly.big and ingame.big files and rename them like so... rename igonly.big to coopov.big rename ingame.big to cooplay.big then place them in your MVP 2005datafrontend dir. That should do it. It's always wise to backup the original files first. Thanks again to Trues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker_jim_uk Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 strange when I tried that it crashed the game, which was why I asked Trues to make the coopov?? I'll try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
