Has anyone ever tried...

...to simulate the use of a retractable roof dome for a team in a league?

I know there is the Open Dome stadium (which I have), but there's no way to "close" the roof if the weather is bad.

I guess my question is, has anyone tried to have a team in an open stadium with fair weather, and a dome in inclement weather? (Even if it's just a swapping of graphic files)

Oh that would be easy all you would have to do is edit the StadiumData.txt I could set one up if you want me to just ask.

[Mykal]

Yep, I do it for Skydome - Toronto

[DONMVP]

YES LOVE TO SEE THAT TO

[Breeze]

OK how do you people do it?  I know about editing the stadiumdata.txt file to make it a dome or not, but how do you close the roof?

[therhino]

Oh you have to have a stadium already with a dome then just switch the dome roof bmp to a pink bmp and it's transparent. That is the easiest way to do it if you haven't done it before.

[Mykal]

Or you can keep the roof graphic and have it part the way open
by creating a roof with visible beams and pink out a section in the middle

[Breeze]

How do you swap it?  Just rename the files?  Or can you write a batch file to do the swap?  (Do batch files even exist anymore?)

[Mykal]

you can either just swap the graphics or rename it in the buildings document
either way work just as well

[Marauders]

It would be a nice wish list feature to have the game do it automatically along with other weather effects.

[Mykal]

Agreed, would save on the swapping of files
