GMs Getting Write Protected Error When Downloading League File

BretRock · 02-15-2009, 10:58 PM

Hi Guys:

I searched the forums and didn't find anything that matched my query, so thought I'd post.

I run an online league in OOTP9 that is a transfer from OOTP2008. When I upload the file, everything works fine, but for the past few sims, when my GMs download the file, they can't access it because it is "write protected."

I am going to ask that they post in this thread to give you the full account, but in the meantime, has anyone had this problem?

I recently started uploading the file outside of the game in Filezilla (once it was done creating and archiving I would just use Filezilla to put it in the appropriate folder, and I do know it is in the right folder, so that is not the issue), but that seemed to be creating the problem, so I switched back to doing it in-game for our last sim and it did it again.

Also, not everyone is patched to the latest version, I am, but not everyone is, so maybe that is an issue, but I thought they were all compatible.

Anyhow, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bret

Yeah, your first issue is that you all aren't on the same version. Patch everyone up to 9.2.13 to see if you still have issues after that.

this is the exact ,message that comes up....

ERROR: COULD NOT UNPACK FILES FROM ARCHIVE. THE ORIGINAL DATABASE FILES HAVE BEEN RESTORED. MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO WRITE PROTECTED OR OPEN FILES IN YOUR LEAGUE FOLDER AND TRY AGAIN.

I transfer my league's "online league file" to our website via Filezilla, and it's always worked, so that shouldn't be a source of the problem.
