I downloaded the file, but when I try to run it, it says the game must be loaded from our server. When I try to add it from Add-Ons Central, it isn't there. What's the deal?

It's not on Add On Central.

I'm having the same problem.

I have had the same problem, says quickstarts must only be downloaded from add on central. I wonder if they did that to force people to purchase 16 ?

Not only can one not install the 2015 Quickstart (Offseason) manually because it requires you to go through Add On Central but this 2015 Quickstart is not found in Add On Central. I'm not sure if the problem is with the OOTPMods server or OOTP Baseball blocking it. I hope the community can help us who are in this boat. There was no way for me to contact the OOTPMods admin on the site, however, I did see the quickstart files posted on the site. I am emailing the jazzrack, the contact for the OOTPMods site, and hope to at least inform him about the problem.

Update: I tried again after hearing of dscards success with the Spring Training version. Before I ran OOTP I checked the unzipped files and I saw that the directory only had a subdirectory in it within it with the same name. When I moved the files out into the parent directory, that seemed to do the trick.

I had the same problem with the Off Season quickstart, but the Spring Training one works well for me.

jazzrack · 03-01-2015, 11:17 PM

it's probably something with the server move, I'll look into it.

you should be able to download a quickstart from ootpmods.com unzip it into the quick start folder, then load it.

so i have looked and everything seems to be working on ootpmods.com. but i don't have that file so it has to be from ootp developments.

that would lead me to suspect that what you are seeing is a development version and you probably shouldn't have access to it for this game version... but that is speculation

this threads file isn't on the ad-ons central, i downloaded, unzipped and quickstarted started both successfully

using the ad-ons central is more complicated than it should be, if thay want users to be able to use it
Out of the Park Baseball Manual
and while ootpmods.com has it's own xml file so nobody has to worry about that part, but even the packaging is a pain.

Making Sure Your Add-On Installs Correctly

The key to success is making sure your archive saves relative path names. With a .tar.gz file, you have to select the folders from the base folder. For example: You want to create an add-on with player pictures. These pictures are in My Documents/OOTP Developments/OOTP Baseball/data/photos. You would open the base folder, which is My Documents/OOTP Developments/OOTP Baseball/data in this case, right click on /photos and select "Add to tar.gz file" if you have your TAR tool installed this way (and if you're a lucky user of MS Windows). Otherwise, you start your TAR tool, create a new archive and add the /photos folder to it. The TAR archive needs to save relative path names! You can easily check it out by opening the archive with the TAR tool: you should see the folders in it, like "photos" for this example.

If the target2 setting is $team_logos or $league_logos, OOTP will automatically delete the smaller logo files before installing the new logos. For example, it there's already a logo file some_team.png and the add on file contains the same logo. The league logo folder will certainly also contain files like some_team_16.png, some_team_25.png and so on. Before OOTP unpacks the new some_team.png, it will delete all files which start with some_team* from the logo folder.

Obviously, there is some trial and error involved in getting this set up, but once you do, it should be a breeze!
