Quick-Join Email, Where am I going wrong?

[ScottPoseSnag]

Quick Join Emails. Do they work? Or am I an idiot and missing something here.

Ive run an small two person online league for a while and I cant get the quick join codes to work for the new version. I'm trying to avoid using the old zip method.

Buddy trying to use it keeps getting an error message that the game is trying to use default links to download the league file, and not the actual league links properly inputted in my master copy.

Any help would be great!!!

Hi!

Unfortunately I can't answer your question but I see that you said that you run a two person online league... How do you do this? I just asked a question on this same new to the game forum yesterday so I would really appreciate any help. This is the thread that I created: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ague-free.html

I run a two person league online using allsimbaseball.com to get setup. I've done it for several years actually. Fidel help me set it up, and I recommend him highly. Its about 50 bucks a year. I don't know of a free way. I'd be happy to detail what little knowledge I've gained over the years through trial and error if you need a little more guidance. For some reason, I have never found a comprehensive "how to set up an online league" guide. It really sets the entry level barrier high for everyone except the few that are fluent in both OOTP and computers.

Thank you! That was a very helpful response! So I guess I may just have to cave in and pay to set it up with allsimbaseball. It won't be too bad him and I split it and both pay about 25 or 30 bucks per year, considering the amount of time we could get out of it. Which package are you using? And from your experience, how fun is the 2-player league compared to solo offline. Do you guys sim day-by-day or weekly? monthly? Thanks again dude, sorry for all the questions.

It is alot more fun to talk smack about that rookieballer you're sure is going to be a star one day with a friend than with your cat/dog/girlfriend. And after a few sim years, its fun to have arguments about the Hall of Fame or each other's managing skills. My buddy and I play in spurts depending on our work lives. For example we sim fairly regularly but once we get to something that requires a little more time like the amateur draft, we sometimes stall until our work schedules permit us to sit down and drink a beer and draft. I'd ask fidel what package you need based on the things you want to do with the league. I think he has something for as little as 5 bucks a month. Depending on how familiar you are with FTP/computers (I'm not at all), you might want to look around at other options. But fidel can at least explain it all to you and get everything set up for you.

and by the way, no one has a clue how the thing on the front page of the game functions? Quick Join OOTP League? I guess I'm just frustrated that this thing is on the front page of the game and yet there isn't anything written about it anywhere or how to use it. (according to google). except this in the road to release. "Easy one-click joining of online leagues".

just saw this and it works find he just has to copy the email text to clipboard and then open ootp and click quick join then the next thing he knows hes in game only thing is though he will need the accounts_gm.dat file to export and to dl any new sim files and that goes into the settings folder

If this works, it will make getting other players signed into online leagues a lot either.

I had no idea how to set an online league, until I came across Fidel's AllSim Baseball. His instructions are very clear... and it works. Unless a person is a computer expert, figuring out the online settings is very very challenging.

I sent a Quick Join eMail for my online league, but now can't remember how I sent it.

I came across this feature by accident and sent one yesterday and my friend got the eMail, but when he tried to join the league, he got an error message - "could not find the league's tar.gz file.

After making a couple of adjustments, I am trying to send another Quick Join eMail, but I can't remember how to send another "Quick Start eMail." I tried searching the Manual without success. I have been fussing with this for 6 hours now. I just can't remember where in OOTP 14, I stumbled across the "Quick Join" eMail feature.
