Roster sets w/Demo?

TxSandMan21 · 11-25-2006, 02:27 PM

Does anyone know if roster sets(rolen or cubbie) will work with the demo? So far i'm trying and it just aint working.

They should? How are you putting them into the game? Download the rosters then extract them to the saved games folder. That's kinda vague but just tell me if you're not doing that then I'll go more in depth.

Much appreciated!

molarmite · 11-26-2006, 01:15 PM

I take it you got it to work then?

Curtis · 11-27-2006, 04:22 PM

I didn't. What do you mean 'extract them' to the saved games folder? How do you extract something?

molarmite · 11-27-2006, 05:13 PM

Alright, right click on the zipped file you downloaded, If you have Winzip use that and it should say extract to... then a menu comes up and put it into the saved games folder. If you don't have winzip, I believe when you right click it says extract then find the saved games folder and extract it to there. If that doesn't make any sense let me know and I'll find an easier way to explain it somewhere.

Urgh. Okay, I think this is the problem I'm having trying to understand ARod's explanation. My problem is that I have a Mac. I don't 'extract' anything. When I download a zipped file, it automatically unzips onto my desktop. If there's anyway to stop that from happening, I don't know about it. From there, I just drag the file to wherever I want it. It sounds like that (the dragging) is what's screwing me up.

Edit: My unzipping program is Stuffit Expander 10.0.1

If it unzips right away onto your desktop then just drag the folder into your saved games folder, make sure it's yourleague.lg then go into OOTP and load the game.

Curtis · 11-27-2006, 11:25 PM

Would that be true of any league, or just the demo league?

Just to be clear, I should rename the 'Arod23Garlon2006RandomDebutDB' folder to 'Continental League.lg' and put it inside the 'saved_games' folder inside the 'data' folder?

You wouldn't know if I should rename it 'ContinentalLeague.lg' or 'Continental_League.lg' instead, would you?

molarmite · 11-28-2006, 04:53 PM

This would work for any league.

That is exactly correct.

You can either rename it Continental_League or ContinentalLeague not Continental League though.

Actually, a database is different then a roster set.

Curtis, For a database, you can save it anywhere you would like, then go into the game and create a historical league. When the game asks, point it to the database you downloaded.
I assume that you were talking about the random debut Database you referenced in the post.

molarmite · 11-28-2006, 08:22 PM

Thanks Robby, I completely missed the fact that he was using a database and that they're different. Robby is right.

And I was. Thank you, robster, and thanks molarmite. Between the two of you and arod23, I think I can get this. Of course, I'll have to rebuild the entire league, but I guess I'm getting used to it.

No problem, anything to make the a great game more enjoyable.

robster1225 · 11-28-2006, 11:13 PM

No problem. I've had my share of frustrations with the game, but I've learned from it and things become quite easy after awhile.
