Trying to import using the same .txt files that I used to import players into the 2019 game is not working.) It seems that this process could be more user-friendly somehow. Love this game when I can get it to do what I want!

Sorry about the rant. Very frustrating to spend more time trying to set up a season than to enjoy playing it.
I'm willing to look at your league too. Or post the txt for the players, attach it.

Presently backing up the dynasty in question. Might try something Spritze suggested, once backup is complete. Please stay tuned. Thank you. CD out.

it could be the encoding of the "txt" file?

spot check.. try one or two on their own, no txt file... if they work, it's probably somethign to do with the file type - possibly saving as the wrong type of txt file and it isn't read properly, so it all fails to import.

you can deduce where the problem is by testing each step in the process, and it won't be a guess as to how to fix it once you figure it out.

No success yet, even with trying to import a single player from a Spritze-related database with the ID code abercda01 and the year 1871, for example, unfortunately. This is rather perplexing, to say the least. There's got to be a way I can get the players I want into the game's relevant draft pool, right? CD out.

The Game copied the list to a text file, and said it worked for him. I used the standard Notepad thing to create the list originally, but the file still didn't work, to be sure. And it still isn't working for me, unfortunately. CD out.

Have you tried a dummy league to see if they worked? Create a new fictional league. delete all players and import your players into the inaugural draft pool.
post your txt file please.

Using the file you attached they all import fine into the draft pool... So you must be doing something incorrectly... Follow the instructions exactly that you were given by Painmantle... It is on your end, it is nothing wrong with the game...

Won't work in OOTP 19 either, it seems, for some reason, unfortunately. Even when I do EXACTLY as advised, I can't see any reason whatsoever why it's not working as intended for me. I try with imported season, I try with career totals, et cetera, and yet, it still doesn't work at all, in terms of the continued importing attempts, unfortunately. I'm about to try getting more of my latest story done, if I can, I think, because this is beginning to really bug me, to be honest. CD out.

CD, if you cant get it to work in any version then you are doing something wrong. Screenshot the steps you are taking. 1 screenshot per step and post it. i have offered to look at your league 3-4 days ago but you have yet to send me the .DAT files.


Here are the step i uysed to get your txt file to work.


I am in Commish mode.
1. Go to Draft Pool. Select Import Historical players
2. Select Master,cvs, some use HistoricalODB.
3. Click here to select file. I selected Coffee & Tea. After i selected it the Click here changes to Coffee & Tea (in an earlier screenshot of yours this remained unchnaged)
4. Click box for players to go into draft pool. i used reaming years
5. Click import players


So now using both your file and copying all the players bioth have worked so unless i look at your file it has worked for 3+ people that have looked at this so either post your .DAT file or move along.


Save your game as a quickstart if the draft pool is still showing up and post it on Google Drive or mediafire if you are having issues with just teh DAt files. i just dont want to spend an hr downloading a league.

Okay, expect a PM shortly, and in the meantime, I'll try to screenshot things here as needed. Thanks for trying to help me, The Game and everyone else. Hopefully it will work soon for me. CD out.

Postscript: To this point in time, the applicable league has not yet had a first-year amateur player draft, only having had the inaugural draft. I don't know if that fact is important here, but we must consider all possible causes of this problem, right? Otherwise, we're obviously missing something, I'm sure. Or at least I may be, that is. CD out.

Some screenshots here to show things I put in

Some screenshots for you to look at. I selected Spritze's historical database for OOTP 18, because I don't seem to be able to find any OOTP 19 or 20 player databases at the moment, I think. Let's see if these shots help to try to pin down my problem and swing's problem better, okay? CD out.

Postscript: Screenshot #1 is the current list of free agents in the applicable league. Screenshot #2 is just after I selected the database to use, and checked the box to include minor leaguers as possible importable players. Screenshot #3 shows what popped up after I hit Import Player.

set the shortcut to run as administrator. could be access rights too

if others have copied/pasted and it worked, then it is local.

So, you said you tried it in game, no txt file, and it still failed? then the player doesn't exist in that game. (if you only tried with one name in a txt file, try just typing one in the game for import.)

Is that a file in the default data directories or is it in the saved game folder as far as what is used? if it's from a default directory, then a reinstall may be worth the effort, unless you have already tried this.

it won't copy over anything or delete anything. (as long as you didn't replace any original files, of course)

if it's from a file in the save game directory, you may be able to replace it with a file from the default data directory. (make a backup of that file before replacing it, so you can restore it)

it's possible the leauge is unsalvageable if it is the player dB missing stuff for your saved game. the tech suport forum can get you more advanced help if it is deduced to that point.

did you do a purge or anything in the database settings page that could have such an impact? just a what-if.. not even sure if you can accidentally delete those players.

file type -- not likely an issue based on your description. Just to make sure next time go to "save as" and look at the defaulted options for "file type". i would think you only need to avoid 'ansi'?

Okay, what I did to originally make the file in question in the first place was to open Notepad, either while I had the BB-Ref page or pages that relate to Cups of Coffee, meaning players who only played one game in the major league, already open, or before I opened that page or those pages.

Then I noted the codes of the appropriate players, shown above, starting from those that played in 1871, up through the last season listed for any of the players shown above. Once those were typed up as needed, I saved the file with the applicable name.

Ultimately, I tried to import the players in question using that file, but as of yet, nothing has worked, no matter what I've tried to do, following people's suggestions. I wonder if I may have to type up the codes again in an updated version of the file, and see if that might help resolve this matter here. Come to think of it, I did copy and paste temporarily into an OpenOffice document, but don't think I saved the text in such a file, so that the player codes were in alphabetical order, before repasting to the Notepad file, if I remember correctly. Could that be part of the problem? Just wondering, that's all. Also, I do know I saved the file to a folder on my OneDrive, in any case. That, and I didn't save the file in any game-related folders, either, for any version of OOTPD's games, for sure.

Thanks for all your input, and for your attempts to help me here, everyone. They won't be forgotten, for sure. CD out.

Postscript: The Game, please check your PM's, if you haven't already. Thank you. CD out.

Could the fact that the first draft pool for the applicable league's first-year amateur draft hasn't even been announced yet be part of the problem here, as well? Just wondering. I've backed up the league, in any case, and if all else fails, I'll advance, and see what happens. That should conceivably help here too, right, if I still can't import after advancing to the draft pool announcement day, at least? Please advise. Thank you. CD out.
