Hey Sean O! Thanks for the reply. I'll do some more digging. Haven't had much time to mod lately, hence my own late reply, but thanks for the advice! I'll do some more poking around.

Hey all! I'm still alive. Just haven't had much time for modding lately. Things are progressing along with my jumbotron project, but now I'm finding myself into Japanese baseball. One of the teams, the Hanshin Tigers, play at a stadium with an all dirt infield. I'm wondering if there's a way to make the infield grass look like dirt in MVP05 so that I can duplicate the look. I'm thinking of using the Cuban National Stadium as a base, pending permission. I checked around the forums (saw the softball mod but that was still grass infield), so any advice would be much appreciated.

Here's the most recent work with the Kingdome.

I'll take a screenshot of my new Kingdome scoreboard area. I've still got a little bit to go, but it looks more late 90s.

Thanks very much for that! I'll definitely try it out. I've got trons placed at the Kingdome and put in the proper place at the Metrodome now, so pretty much all I'm working on now are Three Rivers and Cinergy (yep, I'm working off the 94 mod).

I was clicking and dragging each individual point and hoping for the best. Hence 2 days on one project. Gah. Now I'm just having quite a time in Sean O's Fenway Park 1995 mod. I want to push the flagpole back out of the field of play, but I can't figure out which part it is in removable.o. It might be in mstadium.o, so that's my next big project now that I've got some of the basics down.

Oh snap, GAME CHANGER. I haven't played around much in Oedit, so I didn't realize there was a handy "Select" function that selects all four points of the rectangle. So rather than spending the better part of 2 days on the Alliance Bank/ P&C Stadium tron, it took me about 35 minutes to get a tron up at the Kingdome. I still needed to edit each of the four corners to get it just right, but yeah, game changer. Check it.

EDIT: Done. First picture is the finished product.

As you can see, I'm JUST about there now. Just a few more tweaks (I hope). Once this is done, I might attempt to place a Jumbotron on the Kingdome mod and see if I can get it to line up alright.

I'm working on just getting a Jumbotron onto Alliance Bank Stadium. I'm basically doing it as a project just to test this out and see if I'm able to do it, so I won't be releasing it. Yeah, I tried that. So I guess it's just patience, patience, patience. Ah well. I'm getting close. I noticed I was a bit off when I played a test game, so I've gotta move it back a bit more.

This isn't a cry for modding help. Maybe mental help, but not modding help. I've recently set about the task of trying to move a stadium jumbotron, which has become more of an ordeal than I expected. Basically, I took one that would be "close enough", used OrdTools to open the sucker in Oedit, then proceeded to spend the next three hours trying to get things perfect so that it'd line up and everything. And in order to preview it in the stadium, I would have to export the repacked jumbo ord files into the stadium.big, start a new game, check out the tron, then go back into Oedit for more tweaks, start a new game, turn the page, wash your hands. So that was pretty much my morning and it's now time for me to get some sleep, but my rhetorical question is... is there an easier way to do this? I searched the forum using a custom Google search and got nothing. Long story short, I need a life.
