Changing League abriviations with catobase

Ol'Drippy · 11-16-2004, 01:34 AM

If I change the league abriviations (from A to AL, P to PL) but don't cahnge the actual league names, will Catobase still recognize them as the same league?

Are you talking about permanently changing your abbreviations, or just for during Catobase import?

I have to change my league abbreviations before I import data into Catobase (because they're too long, go figure)... and only thing you have to do differently is go into the lnews.txt file and change the All-Star selection entries to match up with the new league abbrevs. For example, I have to change "West-OOTP All-Stars" to "WD-OOTP All-Stars"...

... or something like that. I don't have it here in front of me.
