problem : TEMPLATES_ENGINE::LOAD TEMPLATE FILE

[Yukmouth-Outlawz]

ok i have some problems when loading the game, there is an error msg coming up:
TEMPLATES_ENGINE::LOAD TEMPLATE FILE - cannot open template file help_page.tpl
TEMPLATES_ENGINE::LOAD TEMPLATE FILE - cannot open template file manual
TEMPLATES_ENGINE::LOAD TEMPLATE FILE - cannot open template file
page_footer

and so on... then i can start the game but when i start a game, the game crash...
and yes ive tried to reinstall it at least 3 times...

the only modification i made was in the game preferences...ive changed the custom user data path...could this be the problem...

if so, what should appear there?

You need to copy all the game data from the folder My Documents\Sports Interactive\OOTP Baseball 2007\ into the other folder. There has been a message box when you've changed the path telling you that More info in the manual on page 67:

Custom User Data Path
Sets a custom user path for the storage of saved games and other application files. By
default, these files are stored in My Documents/Sports Interactive/OOTP Baseball 2007
on a PC, and Applications/OOTP Baseball 2007/data/saved_games on a Mac. To change
this value, do the following:
1. Use the Select button to browse to the path where you want to store OOTPB user
data.
2. Close OOTPB.
3. Using your operating system, manually move all files from the original user data
path to the new user data path.
4. Restart OOTPB.

Note: We realize this process is a little cumbersome. However, moving this many files
from within the game engine would have been incredibly slow.

Maybe post a sticky at the top so people don't miss it.
