70's olympic stadium

hey oedit people. before montreal's olympic stadium had a permanent roof installed it retracted. what would it take to make a natural sky in the opening? i think i tried this once by just making the roof texture a sky and it looked tacky. it would also be nice to have the arch looming above, but not necessary. the stadium wasn't all that ugly with natural day light, kinda looked like skydome.

anyway, since i don't know how to use oedit, but i know how to change ads, colors etc. i'm thinking of doing a 70's era olympic stadium for the '78 mod. but the roof will have to be closed, the retractable roof was a putrid orange color instead of blue when it was closed so i will change it from blue to orange. the walls were green i think.

damn it's been so damn long since i did a mod. i don't even remember what programs to use. also i can't find any 70's photos of the Big O i'm just going by video clips i remember in my head. help please and i'll see if i can squeeze some time to do this. sounds fun!

It's exceptionally easy to remove the roof on Olympic Stadium, even with oedit. The center part of the roof is obviously the highest thing in the park, so you just need to select that and pull it below ground. I've done it before, took maybe 5 minutes.

To do a 70s version, you'd really need to do some heavy oediting to put the running track back in. But if you just want an open air park, it's pretty easy.

hi jim. thanks for the pic. unfortunately i'm not too savvy with OEdit at all. i played with it once and i would try again but i'm currently in the process of moving and looking for a job. the most i could do at this point is change the roof color and make some 70's ads. but physical attributes would be too much. that would be really cool to have the olympic track behind home plate! this would be a fun stadium to play at! hopefully someone more advanced could tackle it someday.
