Need Help with CatoBase re: players.csv import

randomlefty10 · 06-27-2004, 07:58 PM

Trying to do this for the first time and I could really use some help.
What I tried to do:
At the end of the season, before the advance ot next year thing, inside of OOTP I went to League - Online League Setup - Generate Report.
Then tried to run Catobase and upon hitting the Import Stats I get this error:
There is a problem importing line 169 in the file /players.csv

Issues:
I searched around for this error and found one other person who had it and cato told him to use the exporter he provides. Well I have Run Exporter and copy HTML files to data folder selected, so that's not it. Im lost here, anyone who can help please reply or send me an AIM at agnosco1382

The problem seems to be that one of the players nicknames ends in a " for whatever reason, which throws off the listing when its exported.

Here's the thing, does anyone know how to succesfully edit this out? I can't seem to edit the players.dat file in the lg folder and when I edit the players.csv file in the catobase folder, I then have to hit upload stats again at which point it erases any changes that I made.

Anyone?

I'd recommend changing it on the guy's player card in the game. Then it is fixed for good. You'll have to redo the exporter run and presumably the in-game HTML reports generation, but that doesn't take long.

That's what I've ended up doing, having to first get the program that allows me to edit inside manager mode.

To avoid your edited players.csv file from being overwritten, just uncheck the Run Exporters option on the Input tab. Then recheck it before inputting the next season. Editing the player in the game is best, though. Otherwise you'll have to do this every year.
