Tengen Stadium dimensions

[Stock]

I think the rubber is fine.  The bases are actually 85.5 feet apart.

Well now there's an idea. Then the home run distances are even shorter! :-P

They make them use wooden bats in the later rbi versions.  They had to do something to compensate.

[greatfun0]

Just one more...

Tengen 2/3 Field as it would appear from above, as accurate as possible with MS Paint!

[Gantry]

I love this thread, and it keeps getting better.  You are doing some great work greatfun0, keep it up!

All this needs RBIdb/deenee additions...

[Not Gantry]

Could someone put it fence distances on the wall for  roms? That would be damn cool.

[greatfun0]

It would be cool indeed, although perhaps quite difficult, depending on the way the rom handles drawing the gamefield. If numbers are not included in the pattern table for the field, it might be hard to add them without messing up some other part of the field. I myself certainly don't know enough to edit the field... it was hard enough re-arranging the text-only selection screen! :-P

And yes, feel free to add my RBI 2005 rom, well, anywhere you'd like! ;-)

The entire field is part of the name table, no sprites. I haven't looked, but I doubt it's reasonably possible, as most parts of the field are the same single tile repeated, and positioning a sprite there would be way more trouble than it's worth.

Maybe possible if you position the numbers near something unique (such as the line where the direction of the wall changes). Also possible by adding new tiles for numbers to the name table, but I highly doubt there'd be enough room.

Why do you hate RBI Nightwulf?

Here's what the field looks like from overhead.  Keep in mind that this in only what the field looks like (the walls and rest of the stadium are inappropriately skewed, but the on field view is good.

Can you not appropriately skew the walls?  Als bumpst for the greatest RBI thread in quite some time.

[BDawk]

It is not a square.

Can you spare a square??
I can't spare a square!!

One Square??

Don't know how to line up colums, but  the first column is actual measured disctance on the scree in inches...used that to determine that 1 vertical inch = 81.49 feet, while 1 horizontal inch = 42.43 ft. 

The next two columns are the actual screen measurements (vertical distance first, horizontal distance second), then the next two colums translates these numbers to the full size equivalents.  The last column is just the Pythagorum calculation to determine the straight line distance.

Anyway, that was way too nerdy for me...off to go play some poker and fuck some hookers.

This is such awesome info...can one of the photo shop boys update the overhead view and the screen shot to have the correct measurements?

Since all I have is MS Paint, no I can't.  Essentially you would only be seeign the top of the wall so it would be easy to do for someone who isn't me.

This is the first time that I have read this thread, and I'd like to comment about its amazingnessility.

[seanrbi20]

Been playing this game for 15 years and always wanted to know this.

Here are some assumptions I've made:
-90' base paths
-6' tall players
-Homerun balls land on same plane as slope of stands(approx 45 degrees - see picture atached)
-bat swing of 90mph


Results:
-18' tall fence
-79' tall wall behind stadium
-perspective wouldn't change dimensions very much since picture likely taken at wall height(79') and approx 80' behind home plate. 
-Distances are the marks on the 45 degree plane

Here are some other distances I calculated that should help:
   line drive   normal   high fly   popup
Angle(deg)20   35   50   70
Pitch(mph)Distance(ft)         
75   258   316   314   217

The only tough part is for the balls that leave the screen bigtime.  I am having trouble figuring out distance soley based on impact angle and time in the air.  We always know time in the air from the ball noise.  Regardless, the table above should help. 

Enjoy!

You're my favorite newbie ever.

how are the power alleys shorter than down the lines?  They sure don't look like they are, but this is tengen world. . .

We've gone thru this before. Earlier in this thread I believe.
Its a perspective thing,. The alleys are not shorter

[SilverBlue]

Man, this is an impressive waste of brainpower, on par with those who conjugate verbs and speak in Klingon.  Well done.

[seanrbi20]

You're right.  They're not shorter.  If anything, the right line, and both RCs are equal -- or, a hair off of eachother. 

What we do know is center is farther.  The real beauty is in the deeper homerun lengths.
