Importing the new Lahman

emcgman · 05-07-2008, 08:02 PM

Is it possible and if so, how do you import the new 2007 Lahman database into OOTP8.

Thanks

The Lahman that comes with OOTP8 is in this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 8\data\stats

I assume if you have an updated Lahman just unzip into there and overwrite the existing files.

What BruceM said.

As long as version 5.5 doesn't have any kind of schema or design differences from prior 5.x versions (and according to the README, it doesn't), you should be able to just download it and overwrite the old 5.4 database or whatever database OOTP 8 comes with. Probably want to backup that folder to a zip file or something first though - just in case. And backup your league before you do any importing from it just in case something goes awry.
