Problem creating archive

Dbobola22 · 07-09-2011, 05:09 PM

I was able to import my league in OOTP12, then I went in, enabled online settings and I watched the video on how to set things up properly. I tested everything and it worked. Only problem I'm having is when I go into create files, it works but then I hit create archive and I get this message:

Also, after watching the video setting up reports after I upload archive, i'm supposed to see a upload reports box pop up that says it will open in another browser and my game is not showing that.

I just don't see where I'm messing up since I followed instructions exactly and I also tested everything and it worked.

One thing I notice from your picture, the league file creation path is still pointing to your OOTP 11 directory. Did you make sure that directory path exists on your computer? Did you want to change that to OOTP 12 instead in that path?

Good job for noticing that... That has to be the problem most likely. Now can someone help me set it up the right way? I'm on a mac but not sure how exactly I'd type in that path.

I tried to just change ootp11 to ootp12 and that failed.

Bump for help...

Does anyone know how to manually change 'destination folder for archive on local folder'

All the help is much appreciated, my league is waiting on this to move forward.

You need to find what the exact path for your ootp 12/saved_games/league.lg/import_export folder is and put that into that place to make sure there is a valid folder listed there.

I've done that but it still shows up as an error. I tried a complete re-install, etc too

Is this a windows system or mac/linux?

I just went to double check, and mine show the exact same with the exception of having C:\My Documents\ in front of the rest of it (and obviously a different league name).

I am not as familiar with OOTP on macs, so not sure I have a great suggestion on what to make sure your path is set to, but if this is windows, you need to make sure you give the full Path to it and include the drive letter (such as C:\ )

On a windows system, I can validate my path is correct by taking the entire string and going to a command prompt and typing:

cd C:\My Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 12\saved_games\league.lg\import_export\

and it takes me there. If it gives you an error, then the syntax or something in your path is wrong.

If you can absolutely verify with 100% certainty the path is correct, then there is some other reason that OOTP is unable to read/write to that directory. You may want to double check folder permissions to make sure those are set correctly, or maybe the game is not running under an account that has privileges to write to that directory.
