[correct forum] Returning to 00TP with Go 26: Expansion and Historical Database Challenges

agentcoop · 04-17-2025, 12:27 AM

Accidently put this in the 24 subboard. I included a reply in-thread.

I'm an old-school OOTP player—active from version 3 through 2010 and even a beta tester for a while. After a long break, I’ve been back in the sim game hardcore for the last six months, and OOTP Go 26 finally pulled me back in this weekend. The game is a lot more robust than I expected, which is great, but I’ve run into a couple of issues that I could use some help with.

1. Minor League Assignments Post-Expansion

I’ve built a historical fiction league with planned expansions, and everything was smooth until I expanded my major league. I added the new minor league affiliates too, but I can’t find any way to assign them to their parent teams. I know how this used to work in earlier versions, and I’m comfortable doing it manually if needed, but in Go 26 I just don’t see the function at all. Am I missing it, or is it not implemented?

2. Historical Database Path Error

I’ve double-checked that the historical database path is correct on the setup screen. Still, I keep getting an error saying the database isn’t found. The file I’m pointing to is named historical_database_mobile.odb. I’ve even tried copying the full path from the file info, but it doesn’t seem to register. Changing the path doesn’t seem to actually change anything in-game, and it still can’t find the file.

Any help or insight would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

2 - I believe Will Beh said the error message can be ignored as a cosmetic issue. (Will, correct me if I'm wrong.)]

Unfortunately I've simmed to the draft and the pool is empty. Historical rookies, etc checked. I've moved the draft a day out again and again and tried various path options in the database path section and it didn't help. Idk.. Dang.

Ended up I was missing this next year in bought seasons. I thought I bought the 80s. Database I think is resolved.

I'm pretty sure that assigning a new minor league team to a parent club just isn't a thing in Go. I can't find anywhere that even contains related dialog.

Minor league isnt a thing in Go. The warning about the database has been in every version but has no effect on your game play.

Just to clarify, minor league isn't a thing for historical sims. It is available in fictional leagues and in the current season.

Replies above are correct too

Regarding the db path error, I've made some changes and fixed it, although it was just a display error in the league settings
