Custom DB and upgrade to 9.0

JimiP · 05-14-2009, 04:09 PM

I am in the process of switching over a long term 6.5 league to 9.0. I have a custom database that i have been using for the leage....
Question:
How do i set it up so that I can have the custom DB that i am using be the default DB for the league when i switch over?
I have been trying to fiugre thisout and am getting nowhere...i can't seem to find any info anywhere, but then I am easily confused or distracted.
thanks ahead of time !

My best guess, since I don't know exactly how you're using the database, is simply pointing the game to the file under League Setup > Rules > Historical Rookie Options.

I will check itout - Thanks Kelric !
I am using it for random debut dates for players thru history - so we are in 1970 and over the last 30 years or so of simming we have had cross-era players debuting in the league.

Ok, so it would pretty much act like any other historical database. That should do the trick then.
