great looking stuff so far just one hang up with the new select nations for player origin feature: it would be nice for a simple way for the default player origin to be copied over to amateur draft pool origin with one click instead of having to go all the way through it again

LloydLungs · 04-12-2013, 05:11 PM

I echo the kudos for the new webcast screen -- this is going to save me about 5 million clicks for this version, especially for September games.

slugga27 · 04-12-2013, 05:15 PM

Just had another "crash". Tried quitting the game, dialog box popped up and I tried clicking "yes" and it wouldn't respond. Had to force quit and I lost everything...This needs to be looked into. I was on the lineup screen, but I'm not sure what is causing it.

I did the .prk files for it (They should be in the ballparks folder with the pics) and you can auto import those by going to any teams setup page and clicking the edit ballparks tab on the bottom right. On that screen click the Pictures and Coordinates tab on the top left. Click the import/export tab on the bottom right and choose Auto import all ballparks. Navigate to the Ballparks folder (everything should be grayed out. It's normal) just click ok. If all goes well, you should get a confirmation such as Successfully loaded 30 ballparks out of ?? or something like that.
This will only work for the 2013 all in one ballpark pics.

All other pics have to be manually loaded. Follow the above steps and stop at the pictures and coordinates page. Just below the top left tabs, you'll see Daytime picture and to the right you'll see a button next to ... Click it and navigate to the daytime pic you want to use.
Do the same for the night pic.
Repeat above for each and every team.
Hope this helps.

Can you post in the bug report thread here and then zip and send your league files as described here?

CT-Sox-Fan · 04-12-2013, 05:19 PM

Very fast download, same with the all in one mod.

I really really like the pitching screen and the new options for setting up the bullpen. I like the idea of having more control over what the AI does with relievers in the game and making it easy to use. Great job.

I noticed that a few things have been moved around (not many) from OOTP13's interface. For me it made it easier to find how to switch to look at one team and then another.

I've imported our online league from OOTP12 and everything looks fine. However, the one thing that didn't transfer over was the online league settings (all the paths and ids for download and upload). I've not had success with this with previous updates either. It's not that big a deal to put them in again, but it would be nice if they came across.

I've noticed again in the all in one mod that the logos for teams in Chicago, NY, LA are missing the _(A)_ and _(N)_. You need to edit those in manually to get those logos to show up. Otherwise you get all logos except those which revert to generated ones.

A thought just occurred to me. Do I need to copy across the accounts data commish file into the settings directory to get those settings?

Edit : Yes, that did the trick!

Tycobbler · 04-12-2013, 05:25 PM

Looks great so far. Good job! Have just 1 issue i'll place in the bug report thread, but i'll make mention of it here as well. Playing as the Detroit Tigers MLB 2013 start. I demoted Danny Worth to AAA but he still shows on my ML roster as a pinch runner and pinch hitter.

Love everything about the game as i go. Thanks again!!

OakDragon · 04-12-2013, 05:32 PM

I loooooooooooooooooooove OOTP 14!

I go to create my first league… on opening day, with nobody out in the first inning, my team gives up a grand slam!!

Gee, thanks a lot, Markus! :P

I can't send any league files because there was no save actually created. It was a game I had just started and I was roughly ten games in. I never had any trouble with OOTP 13, so I find it hard to believe that it's something on my end...

HA! I converted my midseason OOTP13 league this morning and in the top of the first inning of the first game I play I give up back-to-back home runs. Markus was not a favorite of mine right then...

ashantewarrier · 04-12-2013, 06:05 PM

Imported a league that I'm currently in the playoffs with. No issues whatsoever importing, fast and seamless.

Love the new "pitch to contact" option available when playing games. Home and away uniforms are displayed appropriately.

Game speed and performance has noticeably improved!

Sure enough the away jersey was set to that ugly thing. I loaded from the files created by the AllInOne and now the game screen jerseys look all purty too

Thanks Markus!

Make that three crashes. Every time it has been doing something different.

What worries me is not the crash itself, or even the frequency, but the fact that, at least to the naked eye, there is no specific thing causing it within the game. I've had it crash twice, each at different points and screens within my game.

brycec03 · 04-12-2013, 07:12 PM

Just downloaded, big thank you to all who are involved in creating a great game. OOTP is the only place my Mariners are able to attract free agent hitters!

bosunmate · 04-12-2013, 07:29 PM

Being an old guy its really nice having enlarged fonts, thanks Marcus, you should be able to keep me buying for the next 10.

Whether it's something on your end or on OOTP's end Markus and Andreas will need a way to recreate it. Can you start a new league and save it, then get it to crash by doing the same thing again? Then send in the league files?

Hmm really wondering how . Y didn't it do it to use as we tested . I mean we had crashes at points but it was obvious the cause and was fixed long ago so makes me wonder y now what changed .what did u guys do like from the time u started ootp to the crash . This might help . Also if u can zip the .dat files and ftp them perhaps a root cause could be found . I think the ftp instructions are in this thread if I remember right
