SOMWORLD  The Official Strat-O-Matic Fanzine


Installing Color Seasons
Johnny Pratt
Every file for ballparks must have a .LOC file associated with it. Goto, Explorer and look in your Data directory folder listed under Strat directory. Make sure all the ballparks have a .LOC file. Example: BP005.LOC , BP005d.LOC, BPOO5n.LOC and of course, a bitmap image for each in like manner. In the color directory there is a series of 06? ballpark .Loc files which may need to be copied to your data directory if not present in the data directory.

To see the file extensions requires Details to be selected under View on the menu in Windows Explorer.

For re-installation purposes:

from color ballpark disk (floppy) at dos prompt :

COPY A:\DATA\*.* C:\CDROMBB\DATA

from the directory on the harddrive where SOM is installed example C:\CDROMBB\DATA (NOTE: this is the location of the ballpark 06? series .loc files)

COPY C:\CDROMMBB\COLOR\*.* C:\CDROMBB\DATA

CDROMBB = the name of the directory where SOM may be installed on the harddrive , if not, replace with name which was used during installation of the game.

I can't remember for sure but, a re-installation may require a one time color ballpark(floppy) key-disk request. Make sure you installed the ballparks correctly from the game cd.
