Making Stadium Select Screens


evilselig

Recommended Posts

i want to put my own stadiums in the game and make custom select screens for them. everytime i make a .bmp and import it as an .fsh to overwrite the original the game crashes when i'm scrolling through the stadiums and that screen comes up.

i'm importing a .bmp that is the exact size of the original. are there some guidelines as to how i should save the .bmp file?

i tried doing this before a few months ago and had the same problem. figured i'd give it another shot with no luck.

can someone help me out here?

i meant to say i'm using ea graphics editor. when i have the original image open i go to tools->import wizard->import an existing external file into the open image. i think the problem is with how i am saving it. first i used paint shop pro to resize my image, save it then import it, game crashes before menu screen. then out of curiosity i opened the file up in photoshop says it needs to be updated, saved it as a 24 bit bmp and ea graphed won't even open it, says data stream error. so finally i tried importing a .jpg, this at least let me go to the stadium selection menu but when i go the stadium i wanted to overwrite it was blank, then the game crashed.

Ditch eagraph and use eazip to unpak repack, compress.

unpak stadiums.big with eazip

eazip -E stadiums.big *


pause
You can use fshed to import a new image. PSD files should work fine. Then repack/compress into stadiums.big with eazip.
eazip +a stadiums.big la.fsh lan.fsh


pause

(la.fshand lan.fsh are example names for the fsh files you are repacking)

i'm not having any luck. after i repack, the game crashes right after i accept the starting pitchers before the stadium select screen would come up.

first, how do you import a PSD file with FshEd? it only accepts .bmp, .ico, .emf, .wmf.

so i try to import a .bmp file to overwrite the fsh i want to replace. when i save the .bmp file in photoshop and try to import it says 'data stream error' but when i save it in paint shop pro it takes it.

so then i go to eazip, type 'eazip +a stadiums.big aa01.big' and i have a new stadium.big which makes the game crash.

ughh, i just don't understand!

someone help!

You need to make a batch file to use with eazip. The bat file are simply text files renamed with a ".bat" at the end instead of a ".txt" You can open it in notepad.

I uploaded all you need including the fshed plugin. Two bat files and eazip.

You need to edit the pak.bat in notepad. Edit the "la.fsh" and "lan.fsh" to the fsh files you want to pack.
