Greenville Drive: Minor League Park Request

Recommended Posts

So I have no clue as to modding anything about this game, but if someone could help me out or even explain what I need to do, it would be greatly appreciated.

I actually have 2 ideas that I'm hoping to see go into action. Both are stadiums. One being the old stadium for the former Greenville Braves and the new team in town, what were formerly known as the Greenville Bombers, which was changed recently to the Greenville Drive (stupid, I know).

The other request is for their new stadium that is currently in the works and hopes to open for the 2006 season, though at the rate the construction is going I don't know if that could happen. (Greenville is very slow with constructing anything, one of our roads here took 4 years just to widen it to 4 lanes from 2)

That would be a cool stadium to have. Especially with the buildings in the background and everything. Also, I noticed you said the Drive name is stupid (which I agree on), but I remember reading on some site that it was named the Drive because of the BMW plant being around the Greenville area, however the site could have been wrong.

But good luck to you in finding some help, the guys here are awesome with helping. You may want to try to contact Sean O or Pirate. They seem to know what they are doing when it comes to the stadiums.

Do the Greenville Drive / Braves have uniforms yet? I could maybe try to work on those.

In mere minutes, I'm about to go see one of my favorite writers give a reading. He's from Greenville, or thereabouts (Daicusville? Near Traveller's Rest?). George Singleton's his name, and his books are hilarious and poignant and often times so absurdly true that you want to laugh and cry at the same time.

If you guys are from Greenville, you might want to seek him out.

Yeah, the team was named so because of the BMW plant. The logo is just... it doesn't settle with me, I guess.

The Braves moved to Mississippi and are now known as the Mississippi Braves. They're already in the game at the AA level. Which bothered me at first... we let a decent team (the Braves) go because the counsel didn't want to approve the building of a new stadium. So we downgraded to a low-A team. I mean I like that it's part of the Red Sox association, but it's like watching high school or college baseball only with paid players. Also, I heard that Greenville High School is going to be allowed to use the field to play on. I doubt that that's true, but they deserve it, they won the H.S. AAA level state championship in 05. And they're located across the road, basically... whenever their renovation gets done, at least.

I haven't seen the Drive uniforms, but there is a shop open downtown selling jerseys. Maybe I could go in there and snap a pic or two. Shouldn't be far off from the Sox jerseys, I suppose.

Yeah, Dacusville isn't too far from here. I'll have to check Singleton out, I need more things to read.

TribeTime, I'd love to learn how to mod. Maybe I could start out small, and then work my way up. Any suggestion on where to start?

The new stadium is both a good and bad idea. Good because people didn't like driving out to Mauldin to see a game, but also bad because there is very minimal parking in the area, due to it being almost in Downtown Greenville.

Because of this thread, I've decided to make the jerseys of the whole Sally League. Please do get some pics.

AstroEric, I'll try to get those pics for you soon. That'd be a nice addition to the game, I think.

TribeTime, I searched for the stadium mod tutorial but couldn't find it. I'll PM Pirate in a bit to see if he can point me in the right direction.

five, that's awesome. I was thinking today that maybe somewhere down the road, I could come up with a "Welcome to Greenville" mod package of some sort. I think that it would be a great idea if several people were to release packages like that. It would be nice. By the way, I go to church in Anderson. Do you know where Pelzer is in Anderson county? That's where it's at.
