Need help with CommishJoe's exporter

Boozie1580 · 09-28-2003, 02:03 PM

Can someone explain to me how to use this? The directions seem a little unclear to me. I am experienced w/ computers, too, but not with DOS.

What is your question? What part do you not understand? Basically, you just need to modify those *.bat files with any trext editor (notepade works) so it points to your directories. Then you can double click on the *.bat files from Windows Explorer to execute. A DOS window will popup so you can see the progress, but thats the extent that the exporter has anything to do with DOS. You can do the whole export process without ever using DOS.

Code:

player.exe "c:\gwnbl" "c:\desktop\CSVs"
teams.exe "c:\gwnbl" "c:\desktop\CSVs"
cls

1st part:
the .exe files are the exporter files that the .bat file calls (you might also need the 3rd one that is there, but I don't use it)

2nd part ("c:\gwnbl"):
is just the location of your league's folder, the folder that has your league's .dat files, etc. It also might look something like "C:\Program Files\400 Software Studios\OOTP5\GWNBL.lg"

3rd part ("c:\desktop\CSVs"):
is just the location of the folder where you want your CSVs to be generated to.

"cls" just tells the .bat file to close on its own, instead of "pause" which is the default.

OK thanks, I didn't know you could modify it like that. That helps me. Also, I must have downloaded a bad file because the schedule.exe was not in the zip file. I have all of it worked out now. Thanks

You probably downloaded the v4 exporter which didnt have a schedule exporter included.
