keith0156 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Is there any ways I can change the home field a team play in? e.g. I want to Devil Rays to play in a minor league stadium as their home field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiberger Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Changing the file name of a minor league stadium to tropdome.big would do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDudleyDoWright Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Wouldnt that cause the game to crash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiberger Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I don't think so, but I'm not completely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Wouldnt that cause the game to crash? No it won't. To my knowledge, the game will crash only if you change the name of another stadium to venuday.big or venunite.big (created stadium files) and try to use that stadium in owner mode.

HardcoreLegend Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 There has to be a way to hex edit the .exe to change where a certain team slot looks for it's home field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvarr Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 The renaming thing works. The only downside, is that you may see players "planted" in the ground. Because Stadium A will have the dugouts in a certain spot, the will be in the wrong places in Stadium B. Same with bullpens. Mind you, these graphical anomolies are only in the cut scenes, not during actual gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, these graphical anomolies are only in the cut scenes, not during actual gameplay. That's easy to fix. Using EAGraph or BiGGUI, open up the file data datafile datafile.big and extract the .txt file for the minor league stadium that you want to use. Rename this file to tropdome.txt and copy it to your data folder. When the game starts up, it will see the tropdome.txt file in your data folder and use that one instead of the tropdome.txt file embedded in the datafile.big file. It's the same principle that allows you to use custom datafile.txt files with your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also re-import the .txt files back into datafile.big, insteading of cluttering the data folder with a bunch of .txt files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, you could do that as well. With my method, if you decided to restore the default home stadium, you could simply delete the .txt file from the data folder and you'd be all set. With your method (which is perfectly valid), you'd have to get the original .txt file someplace (but not from your datafile.big file, since you already replaced it) and then reimport it into your datafile.big file.

Good point. Didn't realize that. I guess you could get it from the CD's but your way saves a lot of work later on. I guess that's why you've got the modder tag :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
