Cato Utility - Importing Award Winners/All-Stars

A.J. Holz · 05-03-2003, 12:35 PM

Welcome back Cato, I know you probably have a lot of stuff on your plate, but if you or anyone else could lend a hand, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm using the 5.0.0 version of the Cato utility and I seem to be getting the following error when I try and import Award Winners or All-Stars from the NABA league files I have. It does this on both years of the league files I've got, years 2002 and 2003. Importing the actual player data and team info works just fine.

The error comes up when I click the "Import All-Stars" or "Import Award Winners" button on their respective pages.

Error:

OOTP History
Invalid procedure call or argument
[OK]

I'm not sure what is causing this since I've used the 5.0.0 version of the utility *many* times on my solo leagues without a hitch and didn't have any problems.

I'm not sure if this is related, but the NABA recently went through a conversion from OOTP4 to OOTP5 and both the award winners AND the all-stars were decided using the OOTP4 game engine - I then converted the data to OOTP5 format and am trying to use the 5.0.0 utility with that converted data. Conversely, my solo leagues (which worked fine) were all started in OOTP5 and never went through any conversion.

If you or someone else could help, that would be awesome, and let me know if you need any other info. I tried to attach the lnews.html file to this topic but it's too big.

As for right now, I'm manually adding Award Winners and All-Stars using the utility as opposed to importing them directly. Manually adding them works fine and gets me the output I need (and what awesome pages they are!), but importing directly is obviously a little easier in the long run.

Thanks for a great program!

I an error like this and fixed it. It happened when there was another entry on the All-Star date, after the All-Star list. I've fixed this in version 5.1, so try that version and let me know if you still have a problem.

I tried again with 5.1.0 and got the same error, "Invalid procedure call or argument".

I double-checked the lnews.html file and there is only one entry for that date, the all-star selections. I copy/pasted that HTML code for that day into a .TXT file and attached it in the remote chance that it may yield any insight.

Love the new 5.1.0 version, it rocks!
