Wrigley Field Day With Gray Skies

[herodotus7]

I would love a Wrigley Field mod using the default sky (thunderstorm/gray sky) from Sportsman's Park. Current ads from the stadium would be great too.

then extract the sky and import it to Wrigley

[JoeRudi26]

Could someone please explain how to do this step by step? I've attempted it myself to no avail, I've got the green and red TEXTURE written all over the sky at Wrigley. Actually, it looks like aliens are invading Chicago. :stick:

Of course I've backed up my files, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

[herodotus7]

yeah, how do you extract the sky and import it to Wrigley. some of us are fools.

[biker_jim_uk]

Yup

Open Sportsman's big file, extract sky0.fsh

open sky0 in fshed, export the bmp, save somewhere you can remember

Open wrigday.big

extract sky0.fsh, open is fshed, import the saved bmp from above, save the fsh and then import the sky0 back into wrigley

Thanks for the help Jim, I finally got it figured out. Check your pm's herodotus7.

Is it possible to do the same with the infield dirt. If so, what file name do I export and import.

thanks

The sky looks great, but it looks way too sunny on the field to make the "overcast" look legit.

Open the lighting.csv in the data/stadium folder and edit the lighting type in there.

it is, but i've no idea which file, probably part of cram32 but I can't be bothered looking

actually I spent a whole 2 mins and found infield dirt in field0, field1 and field2.

:roll:

Here's a pic with the dusk sky. Not that it's rocket science, but I'm saving the stadiums with the different skies just for a little variation during my season. A sky changer mod would be pretty cool if there was enough interest.

As for now, I'll just copy and paste. :)

[herodotus7]

Looks great man!

Here's the alternate night sky (thanks to Pirate or rglass, not sure which).

I did a lot of sky changing with MVP04. It doesn't seem as easy with '05. At any rate, I would put a gray overcast sky into the night stadium, so there would be night lighting on the field. The result is one of those days so overcast that the field lights clearly are lighting the field. The same can be done by using a dusk sky. You get that cool, just after sundown look. I use that a lot. Of course, I have to save the stadiums into a Gametime folder and switch them as often as desired.

I'd never thought of a skychanger app, what a great idea. :lol:

That look really great, nice job.

I've messed around with player shadows and helmet reflections (turning them off) for the gray skies, but you still get stadium shadows. So using the gray skies in the night stadium is a good idea.

Someone mentioned editing the lighting file in the stadium folder. I might mess around with that too to see what I can come up with. As far as the sky changer app, if I'm not mistaken, someone made one for the High Heat Series. I could be wrong.

Please if you can, post results with your efforts as far as the lighting is concerned. I might want to edit some stuff there & would like to know how. I took a peek at the file, but am not sure what to do.

I kinda see different day & night stuff there, but how I would know what to edit in there to change the lighting, I can't really tell.

I always understod till now that it was a text file located in the stadium file (the .big) that did this.

Thanks.
