paulw Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Forbes Field in autumn is now available. I think this is a fairly decent upgrade from my version from last year. The biggest change are some high resolution trees I've added. I list it as Forbes circa 1960 but Forbes didn't change much from 1930 to 1970. Here's a couple pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee4Life Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Paulw, I just love this work you did on Forbes Field and all the other stadiums you have done before. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulw Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Thanks very much. The real Forbes was kind of overlooked as one of the most beautiful stadiums ever. The woods beyond the outfield, the ivied walls and the Cathedral of Learning (University of Pittsurght) just behind the left stands made it a true classic. BTW, the black building in beyond left center is the Carnegie Institute. It was in an awesome of area of Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulw Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 You have good taste in ballparks, fuzz Here's Forbes described by Curt Smith in "Storied Stadiums" (forward by Bob Costas): The Pirates '09-'71 hull was perhaps baseball's lovliest: ivied wall, pine cover, yawning acerage, Longines scoreboard, in play batting cage, Maz's 1960 homer v. the Yanks - above all Roberto Clemente. I saw it in 71 from the top of the Cathedral of Learning tower when I was 14 -still have the pictures. Have returned to Pittsburgh a number of times and always visit this area. They still have pieces of the outfield wall on the Pitt campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreLegend Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I can't see centerfield, but I assume you have the flagpole dead center, right? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusmur Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Outstanding Paul! I think this is your best work to date. Thank you for making this game much better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty2279 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I guess I'm the only one, but my game has been crashing since installing your stadiums (or stadia?) - but only when I played games in those parks. I reinstalled the originals from the CD but wanted to see if I may have installed them incorrectly or if anyone else was having any issues.

Here's my only guess I can think of - are you using 16 bit or 32 bit color. Sorry you're having a problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Did you redo the Cathedral of Learning? I've never seen it look so crisp and clean. Dare I say you've outdone yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Am I doing something wrong?? I still get the goofy "film stripes" and other effects of an old time stadium when I use this and other stadium remakes (sportsman's park,etc.). I just extracted the files to the data/stadium folder and had them overwrite the originals. Thanks correct yes??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 It seems like you're talking about the Cooperstown Effect. You have to go into your Options and turn it off to see Forbes Field the way Paul represented it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLegend Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'd love to port this to XBox with your permission. I don't think you placed any graphics where they weren't before. Shouldn't be any trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzone Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 hardcore, did i ever tell you that you seem so familiar -- like brutally familiar. Something about you -- your lilke my funny valentine. I bet this stadium would rock on an xbox , sadly, i do not own an xbox. i do have a friend that has this for ps2, any way stadiums get ported to ps2 or no? Not really into the console scene.

HardcoreLegend Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I never got permission for this, but I did it for my personal use anyways. I'm about 85% complete. Just a few field touch ups and getting some 'black images' to not appear. I won't EVER release it without permission. I do have a question though: Did anyone else have the word Strike and Visitor misspelled out in right field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
