Can't find Historical Database

Cary · 04-14-2009, 02:37 PM

I moved the game from my iMac to a MacBook Pro; copied over the Out Of The Park Developments folder that's created in my Documents folder and did a fresh install of the game.

I'm in the fourth season of a historical league and everything is working OK so far, but when I open my game I get a message that OOTP can't find the Historical Database and that I should check the database path in League Options. I have been unable to find anything in League Options that allows me to do this.

There is a file called historical_database.odb in Out Of The Park Developments>OOTP Baseball 9>Stats, which is what I assume is what it's looking for. I also made a copy of that .odb and put it in the same file as the app but that didn't help. So how do I get the game to recognize this?

OK, finally sussed this out on my own. In case it happens to you:

This came about after I transferred files from my home iMac to my MacBook Pro. The data path was looking for the OOTP Development folder on the iMac (which was nested inside my "home" folder named "Cary") instead of the one on the lap top (which has a differently named "home" folder).

FYI, this is under League Setup>Rules>HIstorical Rookies Options>Database Path. The error message I was getting did not make it at all clear that this was the pace to look.

Cary, fellow Mac user here. Could you type out what the complete DB path should look like? If I see what one should look like, I might be able to find out what wrong with mine.
