Importing of OOTP XX Into OOTP 21.

tom_burr · 03-29-2021, 05:30 AM

I received the great news regarding the arrival of OOTP 22 last week. However, before I move on there's a problem I have to solve first.

I've been a user since OOTP 19 on my iMAC. Import of past games (i.e., Seasons) from OOTP 19 into OOTP 20 went smoothly. When I went to follow the same procedure from OOTP 20 into OOTP 21 something was askew.

When I select "Import OOTP 20 Game" a window appears with a notation at the top of the window saying, "Select world.dat file from OOTP 20 League Folder...". The problem is that the world.dat file is not on the list, with the last alphabetical option being "world templates".

I've Googled trying to find a solution but I run into a lot of 404 error messages or for importing to a PC, complete with thorough and explicit to follow, the same instructions for an iMac the request showing, "Need some help here".

Pointing me in the right direction would be great and any and all help would be much appreciated, not only by me but by others who may run into this problem, be able to do a "search title" of the subject and solve their own problem.

In advance, than you very much for any and all help you can provide.

Navigate to your OOTP 20 saved games folder. Find the league you want go into it and select the WORLD.dat and click import.

I went into OOTP XX, then "Import OOTP 19 Game", then "Favourites", then "Saved Games". All of the seven prior Games / Seasons are indeed there.

I clicked on the first Game / Season, went down to world.dat, then "Confirm" which gives a window that says, "Error, OOTP cannot import this saved game because it was saved with OOTP 20. This version of OOTP can only import saved games with version #19".

I've never had to use this process, as a simple email to "The Powers That Be"™ has always worked in the past, but would I be better off in trying to resolve my predicament by submitting a ticket?
