OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Manual HOF selection now takes only *one* eon

Just following up on a tech-support thing from a month or two ago:

At the time, when I'd manually induct someone into my Hall of Fame, then go to Retired Players (or Retired and Active Players), I'd get a "Reading Players" message, and it would be as much a two ours and 20 minutes before I could do anything else with OOTP.

I was advised, among other things, to get rid of loads of files, such as saved boxscores. I did all this -- it took weeks, for a variety of reasons, one of which was that this particular universe had reached over 50 years of age.

Concurrently, I ran into a problem wherein -- long story marginally shorter -- I screwed up my league to a point where I had to rebuild it from the ground up. (If only there were a way to, say, start a season over....)

I'm now in the twenty-second year of this particular universe and -- league structures being the way I set them up to be -- there hasn't been any automatic HOF selection yet, but I've wanted to add a handful of players myself. So now the process takes about 10 minutes per player.

This is in a universe in which minor leagues stats aren't very detailed, boxscores and game logs aren't saved, and I'm doing my best to keep up with policing the files I don't need (such as messages). I think the universe folder is a couple hundred megabytes.

Does 10 minutes sound about right, or should manual selection go much faster? If the latter... any other suggestions?

Thanks, as always.
