Lahman Database import problem

Seamhead · 12-11-2001, 06:53 AM

I have the most current version of the Lahman Database (Text version, not Access) and I'm having a problem. I went in and adjusted some player stats for importing. The edited batters worked like a charm and their stats imported with no problems whatsoever, but the edited pitchers cause OOTP3 to crash. It doesn't matter what I try, as soon as I edit a pitcher's stat, it seems to corrupt the file. Separate from OOTP the database works fine. It accepts the edited numbers, saves, and reloads without any problem. It's only when I use it to import pitchers into OOTP that there's a problem. Why do the batters work fine, but not the pitchers?

Has anyone else run into this problem and, if so, how did you fix it?

Are you editing the "master" file or the hitting and pitching files. The game imports from the "master" file, if I am thinking clearly.

I figured it out. WordPad works better than Excel when editing the CSV files. Once I started doing that, it worked great.
