BREWSTER GRAPHICS UPDATE

Post by RonCo » Mon Jun 01, 2020 11:31 pm

Images File updated in game date 01/26/2045

All right, folks. Here it is. A one-file approach to updating all your Brewster Graphics at once (instead of 8 separate files).

To use this process, you have two options:
  • The Minimal option -- updates your primary graphics, but could result in some part of the game retaining older images.
  • The Full option -- deletes all files in your graphics folder, then updates all your primary graphics. This should ensure all aspects of your game are up to date.
Off Topic
Minimal Update Directions:
------------------------------------------------------------

1. Download this file: brewster_images_pack.zip **NOTE: The download may stop and give you an error message. Try to resume the download by hitting a "resume" or "continue" button, or double clicking on the file in the downloads window.
2. Move the file from your downloads folder into the top-level "documents/../OOTP Baseball 21" folder
3. WITH THE GAME CLOSED - Extract the file there.

* Depending on your machine, the extraction will take 2-15 minutes.

------------------------------------------------------------

Full Update Directions:
------------------------------------------------------------

Mac Users:
1. Delete all files from saved_games/Brewster.lg/news/html/images/leagues_logos/
2. Delete all files from saved_games/Brewster.lg/news/html/images/teams_logos/

3-5. Follow instructions listed in the Minimal Update Directions


PC Users:
1. Download this file: delete_brewster_images.bat
2. Move the file from your downloads folder into the top-level "documents/../OOTP Baseball 21" folder
3. Double-click the file to run the batch program. (It will ask if you want to delete files in each folder)

4-6. Follow instructions listed in the Minimal Update Directions

Thanks Ron for posting. Thanks Recte for updating. Thanks Mike for cleaning up the files and your logo work.

One thing: could I get confirmation whether or not this box needs to be checked or left unchecked for each load of the game file?

In my testing - that resulted in all the crap coming back down - but that was before Matt made his updates. We worked with him yesterday. For you I think we put your “small” logo in. If not let us know and we can put that back in. Only 3 teams had a different small logo vs logo. Boise, Lou, and Cali.

Just a heads up: My MacBook is not reading the .bat file (downloads with an .exe extension) full update, as I believe .bat and .exe files are Windows exclusive. 🤷‍♂️

BAT files will not run on a Mac, I didn't know we were putting out the "Full Delete" yet. Let me download the BAT file and see...

thanks so much! The Pearls' jerseys are finally showing! However, I still had to go into the team settings in-game and select the Bangkok Pearls logo. I'm not sure if when I export the save it'll work for everyone else, or if they'll have to select it in-game too.

Does this work if you got the game through Steam? Just asking because my OOTP21 directory only has 2 files, backups and saved games. My OOTP20 directory has all those folders I see on the picture, but I didn't get that one from steam

I'll update the directions...until we find an automated way for Macs, you can accomplish the important parts of the batch file by manually deleting all the files in:

saved_games/Brewster.lg/news/html/images/league_logs
saved_games/Brewster.lg/news/html/images/team_logs

Then run the extraction.

Yeah...hmm...the problem is that the zip file we loaded does not have the team and league logos in them, Grumble...

Great!

I'm in the process of loading an interim alternate that will also have all the team logos. :)

@tallywood @indiansfan @Fat Nige

Until we get the main league location set up with a correct file, I've altered the pointer in the top post to pull the file from my own website. If the logos don't load correctly, you'll want to grab the refresh. Manama's logo should not need to be manually loaded.

One of the values of this process--once we've got the cycle down better ( sheepish grin ) is that Matt can release new graphics packages pretty much any time (he just runs a compression script on his side) and it will be quick and slick to load. So it's practical in our off-season cycles for Matt to put out new graphics files all the time.

To be honest it was worse than the file that Matt put out a week ago. I had to reinstall all the UMEBA logos I designed and my new Albuquerque logo. Should be faster in future now we know how to do it. When are we getting all the rest of the UMEBA logos and the rash of updates to the BBA teams?
