3149 - Historical setup problem

Baseballr77 · 03-22-2007, 08:14 PM

I am getting this error when trying to set up a new historical league. I followed the post on how to create one in the historical forum.

It gets to 25% loaded and it just closes, slowly from top to bottom. Then I get the error.

Brand new league. No adjustments made in the wizard.

Do you have a database that your using to import the historic stats?

bp_ · 03-22-2007, 08:20 PM

Did you follow these steps?

The process for adding historical leagues is a little different. If you want to play an OOTPB league
with real players from the past, you must first obtain a third-party historical database file. OOTPB has
no affiliation with any third-party historical database makers. If you’re unclear on the definition of

Historical Leagues

, see Section 3.2.2.2.

To create a historical league in Advanced Mode, follow these steps:

1. Download a third-party historical database and follow any instructions for installing the
file(s). Typically, these databases consist of many comma-separated files, with one called
“master.csv.” The third-party database should be stored in a separate directory from OOTPB.
2. Start up OOTPB and select the New Game button on the main page.
3. Click on Advanced Mode to drop out of the League Creation Wizard.
4. Click on the Add Historical Major League button on the left side of the Create New Game
page.
5. You will see a file browser window. Navigate to the directory where the master.csv file for
your historical database is stored. OOTPB will highlight the file for you.
6. Select the master.csv file and click on Confirm.

Version 5.4 - comma-delimited version

thought i put that. Lahmans

If you're selecting the master.csv and then it's failing when importing from the database, it's possible that you could have a corrupted lahmans db. This is something that a lot of people tested in the beta and there were no problems doing it. So try downloading the lahman db again and let us know if that works.

This is interesting to note: the error is being thrown by anotify.exe, which is an AOL program.

Do you use AIM or, even worse, Triton?

Could you try shutting down and unloading it from the system tray, and then trying again?

Sharp, red, and bleary.

Baseballr77 · 03-22-2007, 10:51 PM

now i get this error. i unistalled everything and reloaded lahmans.

battists · 03-22-2007, 10:52 PM

baseball77,

Again, I'm concerned that there's something else going on here, some sort of conflict. Did you see my earlier post about AOL/AIM/Triton?

Baseballr77 · 03-22-2007, 10:58 PM

yes i seen it. i have triton. i logged off and did everything to remove it except uninstall it.

i have used used this db for years now and have had ootp since v1 with minimal problems. just cant figure this out though.

Hmm, this is a reach, but could you try this?

1. In your Control Panel, open the System control panel applet.
2. Click the Advanced tab
3. Under Performance, click Settings.
4. Click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
5. Change the Data Execution Prevention ("DEP") setting to "turn on DEP for essential sevices only"
6. OK out of the control panel and try again.

Baseballr77 · 03-22-2007, 11:01 PM

yes. looked at this earlier when searching for solutions to this prob. it was already set correctly.

battists · 03-22-2007, 11:04 PM

Alright, how about trying to get us a log file using trace mode?

We'll get this figured out eventually.

Baseballr77 · 03-22-2007, 11:04 PM

it goes from 0% then 12%(after 30-40 secs), then to 25%(same amount of time), no in between %'s. then it shuts down.

i ran a couple of test leagues to get a feel for the game and then went to the historical setup wizard and now this.

Baseballr77 · 03-22-2007, 11:34 PM

do you want me post it here? or send it somewhere?

Well, if it's small you could attach it here as a zip. If it's not, you could e-mail it to me at steve.battisti @ ootpdevelopments.com.

(If you e-mail it, it would help my sanity if you included a link to this thread so I don't have trouble associating your e-mail address with a tech support thread!)

Baseballr77 · 03-22-2007, 11:44 PM

this what you wanted?

Craig Scarborough · 03-22-2007, 11:47 PM

Stupid question: are you successful in creating other leagues besides historical?

Baseballr77 · 03-22-2007, 11:50 PM

i have done 2 fictional leagues. ran both over 2-3 years. sim and pbp. no facegen
