Aceshigh24 · 01-15-2005, 02:43 AM

Ok so i checked all the teams with there names and adr of there names....i went into the ltrans file and changed all the =r to =p and i imported rosters....and im glad to say that i didnt get a mismatch error....however, the downfall is that i went to do the create html pages and i got the same error 3021 message and the error 55 message....so i got rid of the first thing, i just need to get rid of this....i did all this on version 6.0, should i try to do it on 6.14 or does anyone know what it could be?

Aceshigh24 · 01-15-2005, 12:52 PM

OK so here it is.... i have a catobase going right now and ive gotten through the import stats just fine...but i dont want to start to create the html pages just yet.....what should i check to make sure the cvs files are ok...is there anyone of them that i should check, please help out

DaveHorn · 01-15-2005, 01:51 PM

If you already imported then CATO is done with the CSVs. Since they have imported correctly, it is likely, although probably not guaranteed, that your CSVs were fine.

Aceshigh24 · 01-15-2005, 02:30 PM

so you think i should just try to upload the html pages since there wasnt an error anywhere?

Yes, than let us know exactly what was reported when and if it goes wrong.

Yep. Agree with DaveH on this one. Go for it.

Crossing my fingers, grabbing a rabbit's foot, saying a prayer, throwing salt over my shoulder, knocking on wood, standing up the little totems.... ah....knew I was going to say too much.

Good luck Ace. Let us know. Hoping for a great relief for you.

Aceshigh24 · 01-15-2005, 02:57 PM

ok before i do this, quick question.....before i started this i uploaded the html pages from the online option in the ootp game to the website folder where the catobase files are spose to go.....are you spose to do that, or is the website folder spose to be blank before i run the create html pages??? just checking before i run the creat html pages

edit: im using 6.0 version....where should the hard drive directory be directed to? i see also that with the box checked that says "run exporter & copy html files to data folder" does that mean that the games html files path has to be directed to the data folder and not to the website folder if its checked????

the way i have it now is:
the games html files is directed to the website folder
the data directory is directed to the data folder
the hard drive directory is directed to the website folder

is this wrong??

DaveHorn · 01-15-2005, 03:16 PM

Yes its wrong.

The Game HTML files is where you put the OOTP generated HTML files.
The Data directory is where CATO will generate the CSV files.
The Hard Drive directory is where CATO will generate the CATO HTML files.

The data directory should be blank only the first time you use the program for any league. After that it will continually store your CSV files there in a dated folder. Its doesn't need them anymore, but I recommend you just leave them alone, they don't take up much space.

The hard drive directory should be empty before you create your CATO HTML the FIRST TIME only. After that CATO will just keep adding to that directory and that will contain your full HTML data set for your league. If you ever accidently delete something, just uncheck the option in CATO telling it to create HTML for all years and you can get a clean HTML data set back again.

The run export and copy files option was done when you created the CSV files. You are telling CATO to run the CSV exporters and grab the 3 HTML files it needs from you Game HTML files folder and copy them to the Data directory you specified. This option is useful in two different scenarios. #1 for reason you wanted to create the CSV files manually. #2 You've create the CSV files and then had to edit them to make them work. So now you need to run CATO again, but you don't want it to create the CSV files again, because they would just overwrite the edits you just made.

So create an new directory for your CATO HTML and point your Hard Drive directory to that directory. That will be where CATO will build the HTML, not into the same directory ad the OOTP HTML.

Aceshigh24 · 01-15-2005, 03:27 PM

So heres what i got....i have a folder that i called history.......in that folder i have a folder called washington.....in that folder is where everything is....i have the cato save, data folder and a website folder....is there another folder that i have to create, if so what should it be called?

Pretty much is that what it should be:

game html files goes in the website folder
cvs files go in the data folder
hard drive directory goes in a folder that i create???

DaveHorn · 01-15-2005, 03:40 PM

If by website folder, you mean the folder that contains the OOTP generated HTML, then yes.

Yes, create a directory called CATOHTML or something and point the Hard drive directory to it. That is where CATO will put all the HTML. Then just leave it there for future seasons and CATO will just keep adding the new stuff right into the same directory.

Aceshigh24 · 01-15-2005, 05:06 PM

Ok one more thing for you before i do this....after i run the cvs copy to the data folder, do i go into the cato otions and turn off the run exporter before i do the create html pages or does it matter???

No that option only matters when you are importing. Since you have already done the import, it doesn't matter at this point.

Aceshigh24 · 01-15-2005, 06:13 PM

Ok so heres the deal...this is what i got:

error 3021: either bofa of eor is true, or current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record. has occured

im getting this at the prompt of

calculating win shares
assigning fielding win shares
2005 nl - was

What does that mean?

DaveHorn · 01-15-2005, 06:28 PM

I'm not sure. It almost seems like its trying to find someone's fielding data but the data is not there. Or you just got some funky fielding data for that team. Have you upgraded to 6.1.4 or still using 6.0.0? 6.1.4 fixes a lot of problems for a lot of people. I would suggest you try 6.1.4 first. I do seem to recall that many folks have run into difficulties with win shares in CATO. I'm not sure if there is a common solution or not, but I think I've read that some just turned off win shares because they couldn't get past them.

Aceshigh24 · 01-15-2005, 06:32 PM

Yeah im going to wait until i see if i get the error 55 message and if i do then ill upgrade to 6.14 and turn off win shares to see if it works....ive tried 6.14 before and it gave me the type mismatch error...6.0 was the only one that has got me past the type mismatch error....i may try 6.0 with win shares off to see if that works first....ill keep you posted with what happens

Aceshigh24 · 01-15-2005, 08:32 PM

I keep getting the error when it gets to fielding stats for washington...is there anyway that fielding stats can mess up the importing process....what i dont understand is that its during the html page upload...this is so frustrating....i just uploaded to 6.14 to see if get the error in this version...ill report back

Aceshigh24 · 01-16-2005, 03:28 AM

For those that are still interested....i get a error 13: type mismatch has occured when im doing the create html pages at the team summary washington nationals 2005 fielding

Aceshigh24 · 01-18-2005, 10:32 AM

ok so lahman database works for me with catobase so im sticking with that....i do have a question that hopefully someone can help me with....how do you get the career leaders to update to the real life career leaders and the same with the record book...is there a place where you have to go and edit it yourself or should it automaticlly do it.....just checking cause i just simulated the 2004 season and i have the career leaders and the real records but they didnt update on catobase....thanks for you help

endgame · 01-18-2005, 11:19 AM

Just so I'm not missing something here, Ace. You're up and running?! You've managed to get Catobase to yield into submission? If that's the case, congrats. Great feeling, eh? Good job sticking in there.

Aceshigh24 · 01-18-2005, 12:17 PM

Thanks alot.....anybody know about the last post i put?
