ltrans mismatch error, where and how to fix it?????

Aceshigh24 · 01-13-2005, 09:15 PM

Ok dave, i found it...it gives me the type mismatch at the ltrans uploading part...now i see all these posts where you have to edit the =r to =p but where am i spose to do that at? and is that what i really have to do?...hope anyone can help me now

DaveHorn · 01-13-2005, 11:36 PM

Yep, it looks like you need to open that file in a text editor and replace everywhere where you see "=r" to "=p". I global search and replace and it will be a snap.

Aceshigh24 · 01-14-2005, 01:24 AM

Allright well im going to go download the text editor from download.com and if this works you are the man, and i will visit your site every day

DaveHorn · 01-14-2005, 01:36 AM

Note - I've never had this problem. I'm only going off what I read in the forum when other's have had the problem. So I can only hope it works for you.

Aceshigh24 · 01-14-2005, 02:13 AM

what version are you using of the cato if i may ask?

Aceshigh24 · 01-14-2005, 02:46 AM

Ok so heres the new deal for anyone out there.....i uninstalled catobase and decided to try the 6.0 version....i updated the ltrans.html with the =r to =p...this time it worked as far as not giving me the type mismatch at the ltrans screen....except this time i got the type mismatch right when it got to the washington team....then when i started the create html pages...it gave me the error 55 message again right when it started to do the team summeries again....so thats the new issue if anyone out there wants to help me

DaveHorn · 01-14-2005, 12:01 PM

Hmmm, I use CATO 6.0.0 (its the only one that would work for me) but I also use OOTP5. So my experiences are probably not that helpful to you.

I'm not sure at this point what could be causing your issues. Its interesting that it works fine for you unless you use an alternate roster set. I wonder if there is just something in that roster set you could fix that would solve the problem altogether.

Aceshigh24 · 01-14-2005, 12:16 PM

Yeah, i may just try a different roster set, the set im using is the most recent one with the updated offseason moves, so maybe if i try one with out the washington team and see what happens....if you know of anyone else that may help just let me know

Aceshigh24 · 01-14-2005, 12:31 PM

I got a question for you? Should i try to use that bosi? or is that to hard to understand also...is that used in teh same way as catobase?

I see a problem changing the "r=" to the same "p" since these numbers are not the same. Player p255 may become r28 when he retires....But maybe Catobase will just convert this when they use the Name/Birthday to update the database.

Aceshigh24 · 01-14-2005, 01:22 PM

Do you know of a problem like this sand man....do you know of any suggestions i could do with this problem?

You need a webserver and database server for BOSI. BOSI is primarily an online league resource. It would have uses for a solo league, but its strength lies in what it does for online leagues. Comparing BOSI and CATO do not really apply since they serve two different needs.

Aceshigh24 · 01-14-2005, 01:30 PM

Oh ok, well thanks for the info on it....thanks for your help even though it doesnt seem like my catobase wll ever work....im hoping someone out there besides you will respond to me and hopefully they can try to help me as well

I'm strictly speaking from what I've read here among a few other threads

CatoBase ltrans type mismatch SOLVED....possible OOTP bug?

But it appears to fix that problem with no side affects. It would not surprise me that it works since CATO smartly does not use player IDs.

What file was it processing when you got to Washington? Was is processing the teams.csv file? You might just have something simply wrong with Washington in the league file. Does it have an abbreviation, a full team name and team nickname and all that stuff? Is the abbreviation different that all others in the league? I would look in the team setup screen for Washington and compare to the others in the league file. Make sure it has all the necessary info.

Aceshigh24 · 01-14-2005, 02:05 PM

Ok ill try that when i get home tonight.....it gave the message when it was imputting the stats for the washington team......it was fine with all the otehr teams as far as getting past the ltrans screen....so when it was uploading the stats from the washington team is where it had teh probelm....and then oviously when i do the html pages it just messes up right when the angels team summary is about to start....so i guess ill check that when i get home....Does it have to have an abbreviation, a full team name and team nickname and all that stuff???

Edit: Do you think it would have anything to do with the exporter...meaning is there any exporter that i have to download for the html pages to work or does the catobase come with the exporters...just a thought?

DaveHorn · 01-14-2005, 02:36 PM

Abbreviation for sure and NEVER change them once you do your first import. Unless the team is actually moving to a new franchise. Then you can change the abbreviation and CATO will use that as a key (after you manually tell it to) to link the old and new franchises.

I'm not 100% on the other fields, but its best to be consistent with the other teams. Make sure Washington has at least what all the other teams have. I'm holding out hope that since you are using a current roster set and its Washington giving you fits, maybe something was just left blank for Washington in the league file.

A player's R# is not his P# so the only way to fix this is to find out what his number was by looking for it in a previous season backup or in the MASTER.CSV for the previous year when using CATOBASE. Just change the r# to the old p#.

The Master.CSV file will be saved in the DATA folder in your CATOBASE history folder. Just do a search for the player name and the you will see the exported player id also.

Just a side note, the problem with the retired player was fixed for 6.1.4 as far as I know. I had the problem with earlier versions but not with the most current. It appears to happen when a player plays for multiple teams, and announces his retirement at the EOY.

Another idea to prevent this from happening in future seasons is to EXPORT the rosters and player info to CSV files before the first game of the season. These files are small and can be overwritten the next season, because you won't need them.....

Whoops wrong problem - ignore ...

On your other issue with it blowing up on the Washington, go to the pitching csv files and make sure that none of the pitchers have 0 IP but have ERs. I have this happen with end of season callups where I will get O IP but 2 ERS allowed. I just change the IP to .33 and modify another scrubs stats to add the .33. The error you are getting may be because of the old programmers most hated problem - DIV by ZERO

Aceshigh24 · 01-14-2005, 06:38 PM

OK ill check it out when i get home...how would you edit the pitchers if your in manager mode, you cant edit anyone after you do this??? what file would i need to open up to edit the pitchers stats?????
