Top 25 Career Leaders/Hall of Fame Files

I have seen a couple of people post questions about these, they will not work unless you have converted them. The file structure between OOTP4 and OOTP5 are different. I converted my career leaders file yesterday but the site I sent it to seems to be down at the moment so there are a couple of options for those interested in the file:

1)You can download the file(s) from BaseballSimCentral and then convert them to OOTP5 yourself, its a fairly simple process. Create a dummy league in OOTP4, place the retired.dat file into the lg folder, and then convert the league over to OOTP5. You can then take the retired.dat file and copy it over to your current league.

2)Contact me, either with a PM or leave a message here and I can e-mail the file to you.

If anyone wants to host this file let me know and I will send it to you that way people can download the file at their own leisure instead of waiting for me to send it to them.

Remember this file only works for brand new leagues, if you have already "proceeded to next season' then you will overwrite you current retired.dat file and all the retirees will be lost.

If you are interested in the HOF file then you will have to specify that since I haven't converted it yet.
