You mean actual computer-savvy users? Why would they own a Mac?

That was helpful. Thanks.

So I've extracted all the files to the proper folders, but still don't see any faces/hats showing up...just the generic stuff. ?

1) First make sure you are extracting to the right folder. The destination is NOT the installation path but rather the path to your Document Library (c:\Documents on my Windows PC...problem is I don't know the equivalent for MAC. For ballcaps and jerseys files, they should go:

My Documents (root folder for the Document Library in Windows 7...it's the default location OOTP uses but I'm not sure how that translates to a MAC)->Out of the Park Developments->OOTP Baseball 12->saved_games->MBWBA.lg->ballcaps (jerseys for the jerseys file)

It can be confusing because the 'OOTP Baseball 12' folder also has 'ballcaps' and 'jerseys' folders, but that is not where our game will look.

The 'facegen' and 'fg_files', however, do go in the main v12 folder:

My Documents (root folder for the Document Library in Windows 7...it's the default location OOTP uses but I'm not sure how that translates to a MAC)->Out of the Park Developments->OOTP Baseball 12->facegen (fg_files for that file)

The 'images' file trips me up a lot. It will be at the path:

My Documents (root folder for the Document Library in Windows 7...it's the default location OOTP uses but I'm not sure how that translates to a MAC)->Out of the Park Developments->OOTP Baseball 12->saved_games->MBWBA.lg->news->html->images

(I don't know if they were trying to hide this folder by putting it where they did, but I suppose it makes for an easier extract to StatsLab.)

2) When you extract, make sure you are telling the program to 'Overwrite Existing Files.' Many extract programs will ask you once and if you don't tell it to overwrite everything it will look like it extracted some files but it really didn't (all of these folders come with some files in them when you install v12).

3) Now this one catches me quite often in working with archives. Not sure what archive program you're running to extract the files, but some will take it upon themselves to add and extra hierarchy on top of what's in the .zip file. The path you see to the files should be:

My Documents (root folder for the Document Library in Windows 7...it's the default location OOTP uses but I'm not sure how that translates to a MAC)->Out of the Park Developments->OOTP Baseball 12->saved_games->MBWBA.lg->ballcaps

If you look at that folder, see if your extract program put an extra "ballcaps" folder inside that one. If it did, just move everything out of that folder and up to the main "ballcaps" folder then delete the child folder. The end result should be a bunch of .png files...NO folders.

Same verify the same for the jerseys, facegen, and fg_files folders. Then check the 'images' folder at the path above. Now this folder should have two child folders: 'bb_cards' and 'hof' Again, make sure that another 'images' folder wasn't created underneath the target one.


That's all I've got for now.

Still not working, but your last post was much more helpful. I definately didn't know the facgen and fg folders went into the main ootp 12 folder, and not under the saved game.

As it is now, in the main ootp 12 facegen file, I have a bunch of .png folders related to facial features, plus a bunch of ballparks... do the ballparks belong here? Ack.

Then in the fg folder, in the main ootp folders, I have a bunch of player .fg files, though none of these are current MBMBA players, as far as I can tell...

The filepaths you gave me are basically the same, they are stored in a different place on the mac, but once you get there the filepaths are the same. I also had the same problem as you with the duplicate subfolders, and I cleaned them up.

All that being said, I don't understand why my game isn't generating faces for these players. All I get on the player pages is that generic light blue ballcard with some blurry white dude on it. Is there a settings folder or something I am missing?

Ack. But thank you for that last response.

Nope. This normally means you either have FaceGen set to generate new players at a certain time (Jan 1st, for instance) and that hasn't happened yet, you have FaceGen disabled (something you would have to do intentionally), or the player models are missing (most likely). Still sounds like your files are in the wrong place (OOTP12 can't find them)...

Are you using Winzip or WinRar? I find the best way for me is to unzip (using winrar) all the images/logos/caps into a seperate folder for each on my desktop, then select all, and copy them into the proper folder. When it asks you if you want to overwrite..say yes.

I have followed all the instructions and put the files in the appropriate files as detailed above and all I am getting is the generic picture on the BNN page. Any suggestions?

I think one of the image folders needs to go to the "News" or 'HTML" folder.

Just double checked that one and found I had the old folder inside the folder problem. Got it fixed now, thanks.

Updated for 2009 season.

I updated all four files. If you already had grabbed the fg_files and facegen files, you probably don't need to re-do those.

Question - I downloaded the jerseys, ballcaps, fg_files, & facegen files and I now see the updated Greenville hats/jerseys, but I still see their old logo on their home page, etc & several of my players (Chris Neal & Javier Montero) still have their old jersey/hats on. Did I do something wrong?

Anybody having issues still with the images in-game? After the update, some of my players are still wearing the old unis and caps.
