Setting Up Catobase???

thomamon · 09-05-2004, 02:01 PM

I tried posting this on the catobase website weeks ago, but it doesn't seem that anyone checks that site at all... So I'll see if anyone here knows what I am looking for.

To set it up, it asks for a league directory, that is simple. That is your .lg directory.

Then it asks for your data directory. That is where your .csv files go.

In the read me file, it says you need the game created HTML Files. I don't see an option to set this up. Where the heck does it go?

Thanks

You'd probably find more help in the mods section on the forums here. That's where most of the Cato gurus lurk.

I can.

Yes, the newest version of CATO can use either the HTML or the text files.

Does this mean there is no need to do the whole "Online League Setup/Export Stats" thing? Just finish the season and run Catobase?

I have done that with the newest version and it works fine for me, you know, 6 hours after it started.

wow, thats a long time. how many seasons worth of stats is that?

Vris · 09-09-2004, 07:49 PM

I was embellishing a little bit. It was closer to 4 hours. That was one of the reasons I stopped using it. It was somewhere around 10-15 years of stats. 2 leagues, 8 or 10 teams in each league.

Yep, it'll take some time on the PC. It's one of those start it and leave it programs to run while you sleep.
