New Mod Work Underway

Post by PadresFan104 »

This may get me in trouble, but here we go... [:)] One of the great features of OOTP is the FaceGen feature. You can see what kind of work has been done with it by browsing some of the files at my OOTP Mod Website here:

www.padresfanmods.net

As I loaded up one of my fictional PureSim leagues last night and looked at my generic player faces, I realized that it would be a simple task to build up a bunch of random facegen players in OOTP, convert them to .jpg, resize them, and then manually assign them to players. This allows me (a paying customer of both games) to enjoy the facegen faces with my PureSim gameplay. So now I'm sitting here wondering if a) anyone else would be interested in these graphics, and b) is someone in OOTP-land going to get pissed off if I make these graphic files available for download. [:-]

In the past, OOTP and PureSim users have freely shared ballpark images, real player images, logo sets, etc. The difference is that these images were all public domain to begin with, and not a generated image from either game.

I'd be interested to know what people think about this issue. In the meantime, I'll post some screenshots so you have a better idea of how these images look in PureSim. Oh, and yes, if you want the players uniforms to match their actual team in PureSim, you have to manually assign each picture from the players "player-card".

Here is a shot of the PSPNcast with the facegen graphics...

Here's a shot from the Almanac. From this image and the last one, you can see that facegen allows you three levels of zoom for the pictures. You get a better face shot from the close one, but can see more of the uniform in the latter 2, which is nice. If I make a library of images for people to use, I'll probably go with a random approach to create a mix.

I would also like to add that credit for the artwork used in these facegen images goes to OOTP community member Jonah Falcon.

I am not sure about the legalities of this issue. I would say since it generates images from OOTP you would only be allowed to use this feature for your own use and not be allowed to distribute them. If this not the case, I would definitely be interested in the facegen graphics.

Considering the amount of cross-pollination, so to speak, that goes on between the two communities, I don't think it's a problem.

Remember that PS is set up to import historic OOTP schedules, so using faces etc. seems to be a logical extension of this.

I detest FaceGen created photos. I much prefer real or (with fantasy leagues) no photos.

Now, now. I don't have an issue with it, since I play only with real players. The main point is to give a multiplicity of options to choose from.

Hell's bells, Beach Boy, you don't even like the animated ball flights. There's room for all of the user-added bells & whistles, so lighten up. [;)]

The facegen in OOTP really got me "in to" a fictional league, where as before I was 110% a historical guy. To have faces like that for Puresim would be cool.

I think those are some really nice looking generated photos and would be willing to use them myself but I don't know if the OOTP community would get thier panties in a bunch over it or not.  But like KG says we already use the OOTP schedules so...

That's cool BB, to each his own. For those of you still interested, there are other possibilities. Do you run with completely fictional cities and teams? OOTP community member silvam14 has done some amazing work and I could also ask him for permission to share with our little community. (Jonah Falcon has already said "go for it" when I asked about sharing his MLB uniform work with the PureSim folks.) Here is a sample of the fictional stuff...

Ok, that's pretty freaky as I chose those images TOTALLY at random...

Update: silvam, the guy who has done all of these fictional uniforms has given me the ok to convert his artwork to PureSim. [:)] The final hurdle is making sure this is ok with the guys at OOTP. I've sent a message to their Product Manager and am awaiting a reply.

Cool!

Just hope that there are uniform files for all of the teams in your association... (fingers crossed)

I can almost guarantee that you won't have my own team's uniform-- I am the proud skipper of the Havana Galleons.
