itjit Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I am working on updating some of the features of Fenway Day, but I am having problems with the "John Hancock" sign. I have created the sign as I want it, but when importing it into FSHed, there is no transparency. I originally exported the sign as a 32bit, and I'm sure that my problem has something to do with the alpha layer? Here is the original bmp, and what I recreated. If anyone could point me in the right direction of what I need to do next, I would appreciate it very much. I have Photoshop CS and Paint Shop Pro 7. I'd rather correct it in PSP7 if possible. Thanks! File: http://www.itjit.com/MVP2005/Fenway_Day_Sign.zip Pics shown here are .jpg. Please download .zip file to get the .bmp files.

Kriegz Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I normally make the image a 24 bit .bmp and make the alpha image an 8 bit grayscale image and then put them in the .fsh file using nfshtool. That looks great so far, I hope you get it to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzjob Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I usually avoid messing about with alpha channels by just making transparent .PNG files. Or straight Photoshop files, even, since FSHed can import both of them (if you have the plugin). That being said, I've never done any stadium mods, so I don't know if there are differences that require alpha channels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I have only gotten .bmps to work. Ido not use FSHed because it does not do a quality job in packing the stadium, there is a signifacant loss in quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definately try that! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itjit Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 Thanks Fizzjob!! I installed the plugin for FSHed and was able to import the .gifs and .png files/ Appreciate it. Here is a scaled down version of the sign in Fenway that I made. I'm still playing around with the Ads. Itjit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itjit Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 I could upload what I have so far later today, but the ads/signs are not correct. I just added some signs that I wanted to see in the park. If anyone has some good, recent pictures of Fenway with the ads showing, please send me the link and I'll update with the "real" ads.

itjit Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 Okay, I have uploaded Fenway Park (Day) v1 and Fenway Park (Night) v1 to the 2005 Stadiums. I do not have the correct ads in place yet, but the John Hancock sign seems to be working faily well. Here is the sign updated for Night. I may need to tone down the light a little.

NYYKing Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 there are some screenshots of Ezorn's Fenway in this thread (from MVP 2004) http://mvpmods.com/index.php?name=Forums&a...ht=ezorn+fenway as i said before, you should try contacting Ezorn. I'm sure he has good pictures that he based his Fenway on. By the way, the Fleet Bank sign is changed to Bank of America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCMr_B Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 @ itjit THANK YOU! Looks absolutely awesome. I think with just the WB Mason and Bob's Stores signs in the scoreboard on the Green Monster, and it's mint. Man oh man..... Manny can finally swat stuff at a CITGO SIGN. Love it!

thetruth10 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 itjit i will be watching the sox games and i'll try to check out all the signs (if they are different from last year) and report them on this forum if its wanted. i can actually take a bunch of screenshots using my TV capture card, but it might be a bit tricky because I'll have to sit here throughout the game with my finger on the button every time they show something. anyways have to wait for the 11th when they are back home anyways.
