Stadium Previews

Stadium Preview Images

The project supports optional preview images for stadiums.

When present, these images are shown in:

• the dashboard Stadium Bay
• the Assign Stadium window under Visual Details
• the Loading Stadium modal during stadium application

To be detected correctly, stadium preview images now live in one shared thumbnail folder:

StadiumGBD/render/thumbnail/stadium/

Each preview file must use the stadium name as its file name. If the stadium is loaded from a .zip or .rar, use the archive stem.

StadiumGBD/render/thumbnail/stadium/<stadium name>.png
StadiumGBD/render/thumbnail/stadium/<stadium name>.jpg
StadiumGBD/render/thumbnail/stadium/<stadium name>.jpeg

Example:

StadiumGBD/ARG - Diego Armando Maradona.zip
StadiumGBD/render/thumbnail/stadium/ARG - Diego Armando Maradona.jpg

Notes:

• The preview file stem must exactly match the stadium folder name or archive stem used by the assignment.
• Supported preview extensions are .png, .jpg, .jpeg, and .jepg.
• The app also uses this folder when discovering stadium names for the assignment and settings editors, alongside normal stadium folders and .zip / .rar files in StadiumGBD.
• The old per-stadium layouts StadiumGBD/<stadium name>/render/thumbnail/stadium.* and StadiumGBD/<stadium name>/render/thumbnail/stadium/stadium.* are no longer used by the current code.
• If no preview image exists for a stadium that is actually assigned, the dashboard, Assign Stadium window, and loading overlay fall back to a bundled generic stadium image instead of showing nothing. The preview area only stays empty when there's no stadium assigned at all.
• This structure is intended to make community stadium packs easy to organize and share.
