Sean O Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 No, as I mentioned in my last post, anyone can choose any team they want, as long as the current park predates US Cellular Field (1991). As far as officially entering, I think we should allow anyone to submit a design by the official date, and we'll talk later if we will allow multiple submissions. How is 11:59PM on March 14? That should give everyone more than enough time to work on it without feeling stressed, and it should give a good amount of buildup time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 March 14 sounds really good. Where do we post the designs? Or are we going to send it to one person who is not in the competition who will then post it to the judges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 If the folks in charge are interested in this, and I hope they are because I think it could be great for the site, it would be nice to have a subforum where we could all post our work, so we can get comments. Then we can choose whether or not we want to post updates as we work, or whether people want to keep it secret until the date. It depends on what the entrants think, I could go either way. But I think for the judging, it would be nice to have a small panel, maybe the mods, decide what they like the best, and then also have the members of the site vote for which they think the best. So the judges get 1/2 of the vote, and the members get half. Make sense? Just trying to make this as fair as possible for everyone involved.

NYM Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I think the members should get the vote. Just say there were 10 stadium designs. We all sent them to Trues or Y4L. They then keep a secret . They post each stadium as 1 and 2. There will be five threads with stadiums one and two. Then the stadiums start to get weeded out.

AstroEric Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 So are we keeping them secret, or should I not do this?: --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 I say, for now, we do it this way. If you want your design out in the open while you "build" it, however that might be, then you are more than welcome to. If you would rather keep it secret up until the unveiling, that is perfectly allowed, and you can just submit it right before the voting. I assume I will be posting my entry as it is built, since I happen to be an attention *****. Feel free to do whatever you'd like, but I'd personally love to see them come ito life. Looks really nice Astro, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev72As Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Cool idea guys. The A's need a new stadium so if anybody has a cool park take the A's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 If I were you I would keep it a secret. People will feed off your ideas. BTW nice scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Actually, NYM does have a really good point, I never considered people taking each others ideas, whether accidentally or subconciously. Ok, then I guess we should keep our work a secret, but you're free to post to this thread about whether you're entering and what park you're doing. You can also post some basic stats if you'd like, such as seating. I suppose there's no harm in posting an image of the site you'll be using, as long as you don't specify exactly where it is located. Awesome, let's do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hey guys, no offense, I don't care what people say, but my backdrop in right field is gona kick all of your asses, even if my stadium doesn't. Just a little trash talk :-). But seriously it will kick ***. Here's a tip for some of you with a struggle. Go to ballparks of the past for some ideas. I've gotten several great ideas that I can put into my park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Well, just ignore mine anyway. It was a prototype. Good luck, NYM and co. I'm going to stick with the site that's currently proposed for Charlotte. --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poconoman11 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Last night i tested a exported mstadium.o file in 3dsmax7 in vrm format and i was surprised how fast i was able to move vertices around and all parts . This really would help all stadium modders and make it more enjoyable. you can get a download 30 day demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yeah I did that when I was trying to understand things a while back, but how can you get it back into o-edit? I was using an older version of 3dsmax, that might have been the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoman11 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 first download a small app call "StadiumBuilder-1-2" at http://files.filefront.com/StadiumBuilder_...;/fileinfo.html and oif-tool from http://oedit.nd4spdworld.com/site/index.ph...oiftool-1.0.zip export the stadium to stadiumbuilder as a 3ds file then import into oiftool then you turn it back into an o file.

NYM Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Is there a site where you can make a 3D model of your stadium. My drawings arent that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 If your drawing isn't that great, I would just load up paint shop pro or photoshop and do it that way. The nice thing about this competition is that you can enter any form you'd like, so find what suits you best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friar Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I'll get in on this, depending on the deadline. I want to finish Oakland first, and then I'll get a fantasy ballpark up. I already have one I designed in Photoshop a few years back, and I just need to do it in oedit. Sounds like fun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 You don't need to do it in oedit, since you can just keep it in Photoshop if you would like. I'm certainly not doing mine in oedit, since I drastically prefer other forms. I'm really excited about this, hope we get some good entries.

Thome25 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I have a few question that maybe you guys can answere for me. I been following this since yesterday with the plans of having no part in it and the only reason for that is because I know very little about Oedit but I have been trying with no luck. So after following this, I decided too try and make out sort of a blueprint kinda layout in photoshop. So here goes.... 1. If I wanna be apart of this, am I gonna have too build this park in Oedit? If so I guess im wont be in it after all. But if I'm able too enter a rendering of Fantasy ballpark on paper, will that be OK? 2. I also read that you can not do any parks that are fairly new, witch is a very solid point in this competition. So with that said, and if I'm able too be in this. I was shooting for a ballpark for the Devil Rays. I know that they have'nt been in the league long but the fact that a baseball team that plays in Florida, plays inside a dome kinda baffles me. So if the Devil Rays are one of the teams that you are able to do then I would like to take dibs on them. So SeanO, if you can kindly let me know if I am able to be in it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Great, I'll be happy to answer these. 1). I'm going to put this in bold so everyone reads it: oedit, and mvp, has nothing to do with this competition. There is a chance the winner could get his or her park built in MVP as a prize, but that would be done by others. The only requirement for the medium is that you can flesh out your idea enough to get the point across, so no stained napkins or matchbook drawings. 2). The Trop was built in 1990, or the year prior to US Cellular. However, mutliple people can do the same team, so that's not a problem. Glad you're involved, best of luck!

NYM Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yea whats up with the Devil Rays and a dome? Anyway good luck everyone, and remember my backround kicks your asses :-)! If my stadium does get built though, I can help with it because I learned how to edit images. Even if my stadium doesnt get picked, I'd be more than happy to help out with images.

I didnt mean I'm putting on real paper/ stained napkin. LOL. I mean like a photoshop rendering. But thanks again, and I'm lookin forward too what people come up with in this.

Sean O Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Heh, I know, I'm just trying to set the lowest requirements possible to get as many people entering as possible. I'd love to see how someone who lives and breathes ballpark design approaches something as opposed to someone with far less interest, who just loves the game. Retro, nouveau, post-modern, modern, whatever. I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I just thought of this cool idea for left field. And I thought an apartment building was cool. Since I'm sick I can get some work done on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
