Problem with historical leagues

woody5254 · 03-07-2003, 10:37 AM

I accidently typed in the wrong path for Lahman database when I was trying to load my next years rookies and instead of giving me an option of re-entering a path, it just automatically jumped into creating fictional rookies for my historical sim. This is a very bad thing. I think it needs to give you at least one chance to correct your error once it finds there are no players to pick up. A Please Re-Enter box would be wonderful.

Don't know if anyone else has brought this up, but this has been my only real issue with OOTP5.

I agree...it would be a nice thing for those of us who occasionally err while typing

Funny, this used to be a problem and was fixed in OOTP4.

That is bad. I've had cases where I forgot to type and hit enter, but it gave a message that it couldn't find the path to the database and let me enter c:\stats

c:\stats
c:\stats
c:\stats

practice it until it's as auomatic as breathing

Do any of you guys that are familiar with historical league creation, know where I can obtain historical logo and stadium downloads?

I have been trying to set up a historical league from about 1965 on up to the 1970's.

Thanks for your help.

Logos:

www.logoserver.com
www.chriscreamer.com

And you might find some good logo packs done by the great community here. Check the Mods Forum, I think. They can direct you to stadiums, as well.
