Unable to manually import ballpark setting

Caporegime · 04-12-2013, 12:24 PM

Egads! I hope there's a solution for this.

I just started a new historical league and I'm attempting to manually import ballpark settings from the .prk files that I created in 13. I keep receiving the following error message: "The import failed". Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Park files are not compatible between versions, sorry

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Really? You mean, I gotta manually enter all that data again?

Well, at least I'll know what to request for the next version.

Markus, having to manually re-enter ball park locations and setup all of the stadiums after importing a league is a royal PITA and an extremely frustrating experience!

Also when backing up a league, the backup doesn't seem to include the ballparks and ball location information which is really not good.

Will you please address these issues soon? Thanks for all of your hard work on OOTP 14. Just downloaded it, and am starting to check it out.

The backup will only back up the league folder, so if you export ballparks you could export them there if you want backups.

Regarding the import of old ballpark files, I'll see what I can do about it...

Thank you Markus. Will you please make the Backup and Import functions a seamless process so that when restoring a league from Backup or Importing an OOTP 13 league into OOTP 14 everything is there and ready to go and looks just the original league?

I really don't have the time or energy to figure out what files need to be renamed or what needs to be done to get the logos, ballparks, ball locations, etc...to show up properly in OOTP 14.

Really bummed about not being able to even manually import the ballpark files from OOTP 2013. Spent hours setting up each stadium the way I wanted in my fictional league, and it's all apparently lost.
