If that doesn't work, it goes to Markus for him to analyze!

Well, that will help. Exact same as mine.

Hmm, it worked here!

So, I'll zip this up, and post it somewhere for you to grab in converted format, and we'll see if that works for you!

I'll PM that info to you...

Any guesses as to why this would happen for just me? Where did you put the world.dat file when you converted?

Hrm, not yet.

Here's what I did:

1. I saved your .dat files into a temp folder
2. I started OOTP 10
3. I selected Import OOTP 9 League, and gave the new league the name "kool_new" and pointed to your world.dat in the kool_new.lg folder.
4. Then I walked away, and when I came back about 5-10 mins later, I was at the Manager Home page.

This might make a difference, but are the .dat files supposed to be the ONLY ones in the .lg file? ie, removing the ballcaps, logos, etc folders.

The only difference that 'should' make in converting is in the speed of it, as it doesn't have to copy it all over.

Well, for whatever reason, I got it to work with just the .dat files. I hadn't thought of trying that, but it seems to have worked.

I really appreciate the help.

Now that you've done that, do this:

1. Close OOTP 10
2. You can manually copy the contents of the entire NEWS folder from your OOTP 9 league into the OOTP 10 league, and that should take care of all of your messages, player images, and logos.
3. Restart OOTP 10

I think that's all you would need to do...

Tony?
