AUHistoryHint Question

falkonisback · 10-01-2007, 04:00 PM

Hey guys, I have a question about the HistoryHint utilty. I had a league that I was playing for about 40 seasons or so (simmed the first 20 then played 20). I decided that I wanted to start the league over again from scratch starting in 1981 (I started the first one in 1980). I renamed the league the exact same name and overwrote the other league from in OOTP. When I run the HistoryHint for this league, it goes through my league and finds all the info, but it also includes info from the first league as well. Like, things guys accomplished in 2015 and such. How do I get rid of this? Is there an old file that I can go delete so that this info will quit showing up? Thanks in advance for the help!

Bump. No one has any insight on this?

It grabs a lot of the information from txt files contained in the saved directory. Since you deleted the league from within the game, i am assuming that it did not clear out some of the old files. If it is accomplishments, then it is coming from the players folder.

There are old history files laying around. You would have to delete the txt files.

Ok, so it is just going to be txt files? I didn't know if maybe it would have been some .DAT files or something and I didn't want to delete any of those b/c I don't want to screw my league up. Thanks for the help, I will sort through the players folder and see if I can find any of these old txt files.
