I'm VERY pleased to announce the availability of the WrightWing Historical Face Pack to the PureSim Mod website. http://web.mac.com/sixwilsons/iWeb/PureSimMods/Main.html I need to thank Steve (Nomo Ootp) for pointing this OOTP facepack collection out to me, and I need to thank the author of the set (Wright Wing) for allowing me to convert it for the PureSim community. He's a very cool dude and very generous with his time and efforts. It's taken him months to collect the over 12,000 images, but it only took me about an hour to convert them all and post them! I do have one worry though. The file is almost 100MB, and I have a bandwidth limit of 1GB of traffic each two week period starting on the 1st and 15th of every month. I've come close (within a day or two) to exceeding this quota for the past 2 months, and I can see that the availability of this file may just put me over the edge this month. It's not that big of a deal for me, as it just means that the site will be unavailable until the next 1st or 15th comes up, I don't get charged extra or anything. We'll see... Depending on how sales of the game go, maybe I'll just pay for some more bandwidth and ask Shaun for a T-Shirt or something. Anyway, I think all of you historical players will love this set. It's easily the most comprehensive set to date and really helps with the immersion factor. Here's what the author had to say about the face pack over on the OOTP forums: 12,011 players in JPG format listed by debut year (1871-2005) broken down by decade. 1870s 265 Players 100 career G/IP 1880s 555 Players 100 1890s 430 Players 100 1900s 675 Players 50 career G/IP 1910s 854 Players 50 1920s 631 Players 50 1930s 655 Players 50 1940s 749 Players 50 1950s 802 Players 25 career G/IP 1960s 1027 Players 25 1970s 1080 Players 25 1980s 1225 Players 25 1990s 1876 Players 1 career G/IP 2000s 1187 Players 1 I also need to give a gigantic thank-you to OOTP member Vholes for his contribution of his unreleased 19th Century facepack to include in mine. There are about 500 images that came from him and he gave me a big shot in the arm at a time I really needed it to continue. Thanks V. I also want to give a public okay to anyone who would wish to use any of these images for any project in the future. They are not "mine", I just collected them. I consider them "public domain", so enjoy. My Yahoo Photos page should be updated within a week or so for those who may use it from time to time. I don't know where I will go from here with this project. Players are getting harder to come by, and quality images are getting even harder to find. Whether or not there is an update in the future, I hope people will enjoy their usage in the game...
