No past almanacs in restored league?

phenom · 08-14-2004, 08:29 AM

I restored a league, then continued play from that point. After a few seasons finished, I went back to see how those seasons went, and found that the almanacs from the restored data wasn't there. i.e. I simmed 1901-1920, backed up the league, simmed 1921, restored to 1901-1920 completion, simmed 1921-1938, went to the almanac, and the only season almanacs that were there were from 1921-1938.

What happened to 1901-1920?

I don't think that the almanac is backed up, one of the reason why I personally zip my entire folder rather than use this option.

hmm... interesting. Thanks.

a side note: after I realized I'd be starting over, and after simming through 1945, I hit 'reset league'. To my surprise, it reset to 1921, despite the fact that I started in 1901. I did, however, restore to 1921. Also, the almanacs from 1921-1945 were still there, but the sim date was 1921.

Yes, you should really never use the backup/restore feature in the game. It's much more reliable to simply zip up your league as Steve has suggested. That way you can be sure that the league will be exactly as you have left it.

that's a pretty big file... did it last night.

1.7G zipped to 332MB

What I usually do is delete any pXXXX.html pages (not pXXXX.txt pages though) since those are regenerated by the game when they are needed. You can also keep your almanacs separate. That way the zip should only be a few MB.

since I'm storing it locally, it doesn't really matter to me what size it is. If I were to upload it, then yes, it would be pared down considerably, as you described.

Same problem with player "history". They are empty on restore !
Too bad I noticed that only after playing several dozen of games (in a single day)
