How big is your OOTP9 folder?

wspahn21 · 04-09-2009, 09:56 PM

I run two hard drives and my documents is on a 300gb drive and I noticed today that I was down to 34gb free.

I started a OOTP9 league in 1871 and I am in 1960 now, and I save everything. If it is an option to save I checked it to save.

So here is my folder.

Wow. 67% of your drive. 4.95 GB.

Since I store all my mods in there... still less than 3 gigs.

I moved the one big dynasty I had to an external drive to save space on my laptop. Even that was only 110 MB. My laptop OOTP folder isn't even that big.

I'm at 9.85 GB and 480,691 files.

Of that, my nine .lg folders make up 7.21 GB and 352,584 files (both about 73% of the total). I don't save a particularly large proportion of historical archives, I'm probably set at about the medium level.

What's the best way to save disk space but still keep a decent record of a long-term league?

22.7 gb.

I believe the best to archive your results would be on an external drive.

My OOTP folder was several Gigs until I transfered or deleted "stuff." Since this dame generates so much detail, the folder sizes are pretty large.

You could burn your almanacs onto CDs or DVDs, and remove them from your hard drive.

In my main league, which has four levels of sixteen teams each, each year's almanac is about 425MB. So now, after four-and-a-half seasons, the league folder is 2.5BGB, of which 1.6GB are the almanacs of those four past seasons.

I am in my 9th season and managed to get my file down to 1.33gig's at the moment. Deleted a lot of past year box scores and logs to get it to that size.

Honestly, is storage space really an issue these days? You can get a HD for less than $1 per gigabyte very easily. I've got over 300 gigs of available space combined between my internal and external HDs and this computer is about 18 months old.

If someone says that it's an issue for them, then it probably is.

Kelric · 04-12-2009, 12:31 PM

Understandly, but there are so many options for extra storage. CD/DVD burners, flash drives, external HDs....

MB.Pelicans · 04-12-2009, 02:44 PM

19.3 GB for me and I have a few various pieces of mods in other places, so probably 20 GB all together

If you delete off just your almanacs (putting them on DVDs for example), would the history and records remain? I'd hate to do something that kills the history of a few leagues I'd like to keep for a long, long time...

Aren't almanacs the big space eaters or is it something else?

All history and records would remain. The only time that almanacs are accessed is when you specifically go to them, via the menu, and open them up. Otherwise, you never go into them.
