Stadium Editor NOTE: You must be in Commissioner Mode to use this feature. First, select the team and stadium you'd like to edit. The first edit box allows you to change the name of the stadium. (Upper left hand corner) Using the Photo File selector, you can choose a picture for your stadium. (See adding art below for information on adding your own stadium pictures) The Structure box allows you to set your stadium as: open, domed or convertible. Capacity: This sets the seating capacity for your ballpark. The seating capacity is important for revenue. The more seats your ballpark has, the more tickets people can buy. Convenience: Poor, Fair, Average, Good, Excellent The more convenient your ballpark is for your fans, the more fans will be willing to show up to your games. A stadium's convenience rating is derived from information about parking availability, proximity to population centers and major roads, and accessibility via mass transit. Comfort: Poor, Fair, Average, Good, Excellent Comfort refers to the overall enjoyment of the experience at the ballpark. The comfortable the experience, the more tickets and concessions will be sold. Comfort is a combination of a great many factors, from the variety and quality of food served, to the stadium's nostalgic history. The closeness of seats to the field and modernity of the facility also affect this rating. Sight Lines: Poor, Fair, Average, Good, Excellent Sight lines refers to the view of the game provided by the average seat. Stadiums intended for sports other than football tend to have poor sight lines with seats directed away from the action. Older stadiums also have some obstructed-view seats because of construction supports and the like. Newer stadiums built solely for football tend to have the best sight lines. The quality of a stadium's sight lines has an effect on tickets sold, but less so that convenience or comfort. Adding Stadium Art To add your own piece of stadium art to Football Mogul, place an art file (.jpg format) in the following directory: <Installdirectory>/Dialogs/Stadiums The Stadium Editor will display all art files in that directory and you can select any piece of art to represent any stadium. The file MUST have a ".BMP" extension. We strongly recommend using an eight character filename, such as MyNewSdm.bmp (instead of My New Stadium.bmp). Stadium art is displayed in true color. Each city picture is 200 pixels wide by 200 pixels high. |
