OOTP 5 - No LF/RF

dfsteele · 02-12-2007, 02:05 AM

I hope that I am posting this in the right area and that someone might be able to solve this issue. If this belongs in the OOTP5 area please let me know and I will try there.

I have adjusted one of Ankit's databases to change the players' debut years (which I have done a couple times in the past without this problem). When I start a historical league and check out the players who have been imported there are no players who play either LF or RF. All of the outfielders are showing as only playing CF. I have made sure that the years in the Master, Fielding and FieldingOF files match and that the file names are correct.

If anyone has any suggestions which could fix this problem, I would really appreciate hearing them. Thanks.

In the unlikely event that anyone else is still using OOTP5 with customized rosters and they run into the same problem as I was experiencing, I have discovered a solution to my problem. I had orignally set the rosters for a league starting in 2001 which resulted in there being no LF/RF. I changed the starting year to 1901 and the problem was solved. I don't know why this is the case, but the starting year does not really matter to me so I did not look to find the reason for the problem.
