HardcoreLegend Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Is anyone interested in this? I don't play as the Red Sox, but I was thinking about this tonight and kinda liked the challenge of putting it in the game for the Red Sox. Of course, any mod I do for this would be Xbox....meaning it would be 2x and someone would have to convert it over for PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLegend Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Well, despite the total lack of interest, I worked on this a bit. Got most of it to work....just need to adjust the kneck line a bit as it is currently showing too high as it's trying to put the managers jacket over it. I'll merely move the collar down and leave alittle more grey area at the top and it should be all fixed. Looks pretty good, but the umpire's graphics suddenly disappeared. I think I had a bad rebuild. I'll do some Caps tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReddShadoe Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I think this would be cool...I can't STAND the satin red-on-red crap jacket they have in the game...bad enough the letters on all the Sox uniforms are the same ones they use for spring training jerseys, but to put them on a red shiny jacket???

HardcoreLegend Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Made the proper modifications before I went to work tonight. Have to FTP them to the XBox and check the layout of the graphics. Might have pics as early as tonight. I thought it was a logical mod since the man has to wear the shirt for medical reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreLegend Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Can you post a link about this, haven't heard anything about it. Bob Ryan was talking about it on Mr. Tony's show. He was apologizing for ripping on Francona last year about never wearing his uniform before finding out this year that he has to wear some special shirts because of his heart problems.

Had a blot clot in his lungs or something to that effect, and it damaged his circulation. Poor circulation = heavy shirts to stay warm to help body with circulation. True story. IIRC, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver discussed this briefly during the playoffs last year....on why he's always "out of uniform". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreLegend Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Well bugger! It's still mapping the whole thing up onto his kneck. Not sure how to remedy this. There is no alpha file for this image, so I don't know how to get it to not put any graphics up that high. I'll continue to mess with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I know how you'd make an alpha file if it was for the pc version. Not sure if it'd work the same way or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCMr_B Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Thanks Mr. B. You're welcome. Found that Googling "Terry Francona". Just searching his name pulled up a lot of hits, and that was the first I looked at that mentioned past medical history. I'm sure if you were to keep looking, you'd probably find more indepth information. Like this one; http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3525864 This one specifically mentions the blood clotting in the lungs. B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I guess my google search was to narrow. I was trying Francona "medical reasons". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCMr_B Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I guess my google search was to narrow. I was trying Francona "medical reasons". LOL.... Google can find just about anything, provided you put in the right words. Many is the time I've gone searching for something fruitlessly, and someone's come along and said "Did you try searching for "this"?" Ummm...no. *types in "this"*, and WHAM. There's precisely what I was looking for. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KySteveH Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 What's a kneck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 What's a kneck? POTD. Sorry to hear about 'Cona's health problems. I knew he had some issues in the past, but I guess I never connected it with the shirt. Personally, I think all the managers should dress like Connie Mack in suits. Mack was truly a man of style, and a damn good manager. Shame the A's aren't still playing in Philly at old Shibe Park; that would be a grand old time.
