What's up dude? I want to adjust my stadium and I'm not sure when you will be around so I'll just post the dimensions here... 310 down LF line (wall - 40 feet) 385 in the LF alley (wall - 10 feet) 420 in center (wall - 3 feet) 390 in RF alley (wall - 3 feet) 340 down RF line (wall - 3 feet)
BGM - I lifted this information from the ottp manual. Of importance to your park are the ballpark factors. It is there where you control whether the park is a left-handed or right- handed hitter or pitchers park. The dimensions matter not. In reality, you could have it 1000 ft down the left and right field lines and homerun hitters would still hit them - at 1000 ft! Ballparks: OOTP offers all 30 parks of the big leagues including outfield dimensions, wall heights and ballpark factors. These ballpark factors play a big role in the OOTP game engine. There are ratings for : - Lefthanded/righthanded batters batting average - Lefthanded/righthanded batters homeruns - Doubles - Triples These ratings range from about 50 to about 150, with 100 being the average. That means for example, if a ballpark has the rating 120 in doubles, 20% more doubles will be hit here than compared to the league average. Players from the OOTP leagues (1999 and 2000) are already adjusted to their home park, that means that batters from Colorado get a lower rating in hitting homers as their stats would indicate, for example. The distance to the outfield walls actually are not used in the calculation, their just used to determine the minimum distance for a homerun in a certain direction, which is needed for the in-game play-by-play. The wall height is similar. Homerun saving catches won't happen if the wall is 20 feet high, and ground rule doubles are also not possible at such high walls. You may also assgin background pictures to each park.You may also assign field backgorunds, as well as the coordinates of the players on the field.
