26A. How much money did you make last year?

26B. Send it all in.

I heard that's how Hillary wants to rewrite the form...

So what do we do if it doesn't except our 2007 order ID as a coupon? I tried a couple times recently but it tells me it isn't valid. Obviously it is valid because it's the order ID I am using to run 2007 every day.

I think you missed out clause 26C that says if you donated to any politician last year, you get to keep all your money and pick three things you'd like to be made law.

Are you opening the receipt.txt file and doing a copy and paste?

Yes, that's exactly what I did.

Signs point to yes.

Hello Mark,

I'm a mac 2007 user and would like to upgrade to 2008 version. Could you please send me the email for the discount procedures. I lost/accidentally deleted the email a few months ago. Please resend the mac upgrade discount to email: ski0625@yahoo.com or rutri01@yahoo.com. I have both pc and mac version but I would like to upgrade the mac version to 2008. Thanks!

The game is 100% compatible with OOTP 2007, including online league play. It adds the following features:

• CATO history import function (click here for detailed instructions)
• Milestone-watch in the history section
• Integrated Lahman database 5.5
• Major League quickstart game, including real player names and full minor leagues (discussion here)

We are planning to officially release the game once the new Lahman database is available, so this is basically an unofficial forum release. The official release will have the same game version, so there is no need to wait for it. The only difference will be the Lahman database, which you will be able to download as well from www.baseball1.com once it is available!

List of Fixes
Here's the list of fixes that appear in OOTP 8. There aren't that many!

*Players claimed off waivers in online leagues are now placed in DFA, not the active roster
*Players from deleted feeder leagues no longer show up in the draft pool
*expansion protection lists for online leagues now included in exports
*rare crashes tied into coaching model resolved
*fixed some contract negotiation issues where players over-valued themselves
*improved double-switch AI

Download
The game costs $19.99, or 19.99 Euros for people outside of the U.S. and Canada, and can be downloaded here:
http://ootpdevfiles.com/ootp/ootp8setup.exe (PC)

The demo version of the game can be downloaded here:
http://ootpdevfiles.com/ootp/ootp8demosetup.exe (PC)

The Mac version is a try-and-buy version and the link to the setup file is:
http://ootpdevfiles.com/ootp/ootp8macsetup.zip (Mac)

All files are updated to 8.0.0.12 and contain the latest Lahman database version 5.5!

Attention OOTP 2007 owners: Use your OOTP 2007 order ID as coupon code to get a discount of 13 USD/EUR on the purchase! Just open the webstore, add OOTP 8 to your cart, click on "I have a discount coupon for this product" and enter the OOTP 2007 order ID.
You can find your OOTP 2007 order ID in the file receipt.txt which is in the OOTP program directory (or click on "Unlicense OOTP 2007" in the MS Windows start menu and copy the order ID from the text box - but you don't need to unlicense the game!).
We've already sent a discount coupon code to all OOTP 2007 Mac owners. Please let us know in case you didn't receive that email. In that case I will need the email address which you've used when buying OOTP 2007.

Enjoy!

The order id should appear on your screen after you load the game. I don't have the game in front of me so I can't say where exactly.

rutri01, I've sent that email to both of your email addresses again yesterday. If you didn't receive it, it's probably in your SPAM blocker. I'll sent you a PM now as well.

Hi Markus,

I'm back for another OOTP baseball season. The program looks great! I see I have much to catch up upon. Any suggestions as to where to start reading. While I did play some of your 2007 version, I was not really up to speed on all the changes. Do you have any suggestions as to where I should start reading so as to better catch up with version 2008?

Always "thanks" for your love of the game!

Same answer as the other thread where you posted.

If your "OOPT7" = OOTP 2007, there should be no problems according to this:

This is from the first post in this thread.

Is this deal still going on? It tells me my coupon code (my license#) is expired. Is it just worth waiting for OOTP9 at this point?

Ditto.

[yajeflow]

i run the rude island baseball congregation. we are all on OOTP 2007, with the final patch (2.0.3.68).

we are bringing in a new owner for the manhattan cocktails, and he is on a mac. i would just like to verify that a new downloaded version of the mac program for OOTP 8 will work within our league structure. if not, is there a way to perhaps download an older version so it will work?

thanks, guys.
