Importing OOTP8 League ?

Bluenoser · 06-18-2008, 06:50 PM

When importing an OOTP8 league, which file do you select? The "World.dat" file?

Seems to take quite a while to import. This particular league only has 24 teams and 3 seaons simmed, so shouldn't be a large league file.

Tks.

you should click on the world.dat file, and the import does take a while, but it will convert.

It tells you which file to select at the top of that screen.

Point to consider - do not have it import your images. Take them yourselves into the new league. I would say same thing for messages and all that textie crap.

Whatever exists in the OLD league is going to get copied into the new league. Take files that don't need to be converted (like player photos) and move them OUT of the old league file before conversion.

By understanding what files really need to get converted (.dat and a few others), then you can truly cut down on conversion time.

The reason my league took so long to import, as I found out later (dumb dumb me) was I had 3 seasons worth of Almanacs in the folder. Forgot to delete them first.

I did that and imported again and it didn't take too long at all.

Live and learn.

oh, the photos, that's why mine is taking so long.

If I add padresfan's new mod on top of imported photos, will that cause an issue?
