friar Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I went to Petco for the WBC last weekend (going again tonight as well), and I can see some changes in the ads as well as some things with the park that aren't accurate in the game. SO, I'll be working on an update for Petco as I get pictures over the next few weeks. I'll also bring in the fence in the RCF corner to 402 instead of 411. I also want to try to add the 2nd videoboard in the RF wall. I'll probably take more pics at the home opener, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Oh, and if it's OK with Pirate (I assume it's Pirate's park, but I don't have the game on this machine and I don't have the time to go checkright this second) I'm going to use his as a base because a lot of the work with the ads is already done and just needs image updating.

Pirate Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I'd prefer you start from scratch. It's just better that way. I am always happy to assist you with difficulties you face along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friar Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 That's why I asked. Thanks for chiming in. I'm going for opening day on April 3nd, then again for opening night on the 4th. I have some good ideas for what I want to do - here's a list of improvements I want to make: - Fix RCF gap at the beach from 411 to 402 - Add fans to the Beach / make Park at the Park look more realistic (what's with the trees?) - Updated out-of-town scoreboard and 2nd video board in RF wall - Batter's eye extensions & retired numbers - Add ads on face of seating bowl - Corrected wall color/texture and realistic distance numbers (not the crappy Arial font that EA used) - Replace random building on RF side of main seating bowl with the handicap ramp that's REALLY there, along with ads on that - All updated ads for '06 - Updated skyline with new and ongoing construction - Better looking press box Pads fans, help me out - anything I'm forgetting?

SwinginSoriano Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 What you can do is flat out make the mod, and let Pirate approve it before releasing it. If it's a quality mod, Pirate would probably love to see it out. BUT, some dude called JP03 or some **** ripped Pirate's mod, and replaced the grass with neon green awfulness, threw a bad bitmap file on the field, and oh those **** colored rocks. Who could forget? Anyway, I was rambling. Get Pirate's approval, if you could make a great mod, he'd probably be more than happy to give you permission. Yet again, I'm not Pirate.

Pirate Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'll let you all in on a little secret. It's a heck of a lot easier to mod these stadiums using the stock EA version as a base. Much much much much much much easier. Petco Park is probably the easiest park to mod too. Good luck with it my friend. If you need some guidance you know where to find it.

Who could forget? Anyway, I was rambling. Get Pirate's approval, if you could make a great mod, he'd probably be more than happy to give you permission. Yet again, I'm not Pirate. Oh, you mean Jealous of Pirate Love since 2003? I remember him. I will do nothing of the sort. If it's not quality, I won't put my name on it. That's why I'm delaying the Oakland project, because IMO it looks like crap. And I definitely want Pirate to look at it - as well as others on the site - before its released to be sure everything looks and works as advertised, esp. with the wall mod. Anyway, I'll start working with oedit this week, and work on the new textures after opening day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staticgo Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 friar, your the man! An updated Petco would be great. I was there on Saturday for the noon WBC game and kept thinking how neat it would be if certain aspects of the park were in the game. The skyline in the game is the worst, Most of the buildings shown in that view are not even visible from the park. Anyways, good luck with your work and GO PADRES!!

friar Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Did you get any pictures from the game? A few, but not for the ballpark because they had a bunch of WBC crap up. I'll try to post a few pics from the final later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eber Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Someone posted some picks over in my Pirate Parks Preview thread. check them out. Yeah...that was me: http://pics.bbzzdd.com/search.php?q=petco (Some of the ads have changed in RF from when I took those pictures: Corky's, Ameriquest, and Mighty 1090 renamed to XX Sports Radio) As far as missing anything else: - Ads and Petco Park logo behind home plate; - Also, with regards to RCF there really isn't much work--the EA version never had the weird angle to make it 411ft...it was always just a straight fence line from the batters eye area to the RF wall - The walls in LF are too short (the players are taller than the walls in the game) Good luck with it if you pursue it. The only real gripe I had was with the batter's eye and skyline (hopefully my pictures can help). Adding fans in the bleachers/park section would be a nice addition too. If you need help with graphics (re-creating ads or whatever) let me know...I never had the patience to deal with oEdit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blendmodez Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 can you put people in the beach seats? -better hitting background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friar Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Looking at both of those things for this mod. I'm gonna try to take the top row of seats from the RF upper deck and put them in the bleachers. DOnt know how it will turn out though. And the batters eye is also on my hit list. Hang tight - the opener is MONDAY!!! Can't wait!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blendmodez Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 mainly behind home plate i use the view behind the pitcher and its really ugly and i know it doesnt look like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friar Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 OH yeah, nat'l championship is that night. I'd rather watch baseball, though I will keep an eye on that game; hopefully they have updates on the scoreboard. I'm sure they will if UCLA is in it.

friar Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 hey friar any updates on Petco? ima go to some games vs the mets, did you need any more pictures or are you set? I still need a few. The ads behind home plate would be nice. Also, shots of the skyline towards the left and right sides of the park (i.e. the Marriot behind the scoreboard and the condos going up behind the 1st base stands). I also need a nighttime skyline looking towards dead center field. I had tickets to game 2 but it got rained out, so a lot of the pics I was planning on taking then didn't happen. I've been super busy with work, too, so I haven't done anything towards this yet. But school is almost out for me. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
