I give up, getting jerseys to work in restored game is impossible.

Neasag · 03-24-2015, 05:17 PM

I needed to restore a backed up game after the HOF voting process got all messed up and dropped almost all of my players from the ballot. Now when I restored it, all of the custom jerseys I had didn't show up any more, and when I tried to copy/paste the jerseys folder from my original league folder into the restored folder, they STILL don't work, and half of the teams have ugly generic jerseys. Sometimes I got a team to load a custom jersey, but restarted the game and *poof* back to the generic one for no apparent reason.

I've been trying to get this fixed for 2+ hours. I totally give up. This problem has frustrated me for years, ever since OOTP 12. Anyone have any idea what to do? All I want is for my jerseys and ballcaps to transfer into my restored game.

while I haven't had to restore a league in some time, I essentially do the same thing with templates. All I have to do is copy the "good" jerseys, caps, and logos from my saved directory back into *.lg folder. Believe it is under html\news\images (logos\teams, Jerseys, and ballcaps) or something like that. As long as your filenames are right, it should prompt you to overwrite all of the existing files existing in those directories (the ugly ones) with your good ones.

Neasag · 03-24-2015, 05:49 PM

That's exactly what I'm doing.

It doesn't work.

The first time I load the game all the jerseys are there (except that all profile pictures are blank for some reason). The second time I load the game I'm back to all of the generic logos. Something is seriously screwey. Is there a way to "undrop" players who were dropped from HOF ballots?

That is odd system behavior. out of curiosity, did you specify default data paths for your images?

Neasag · 03-25-2015, 09:51 AM

How do I do that exactly? Sorry I have no idea.

In any case, I avoided the issue entirely by rescheduling the HOF vote, but in future I would obviously like to be able to restore games without problems like this.

bbmike · 03-26-2015, 04:13 PM

I'm having the same problem but with an imported league from OOTP15. Never experienced anything like this and I've been playing since OOTP 7. I'm going to install the Steam version and try again tonight.

Markus Heinsohn · 03-26-2015, 04:19 PM

There is a checkbox in each team's color setup dialog to prevent the game to reload matching jerseys.

Also, any import issues are fixed in tomorrow's patch #2.

Neasag · 03-26-2015, 04:55 PM

Thanks a lot Markus, really appreciated.

It would be great if we could have a single option to uncheck all teams' jerseys at once, since going in manually and unchecking 180+ teams is a bit annoying.

Well, you could of course rename the logo / jersey / ballcaps folder in the OOTP data folder, then the game would not find anything to replace either.

Good idea!

Here's the deal, which I'll add to my PT later tonight- probably too late -locking was not helping me with the disappearing issue. Unlocking them actually improved it in combination with putting all the jersey files into the main game jersey in addition to the saved game's folder. Of course, Neasag's got a more severe issue, but thought I should at least mention that locking has seemed iffy to me. YYMV.

But a great idea on the mass lock and unlock. The ML lock 'seems' right now to affect the MiL teams, FWIW.

Thanks, Markus. Yes, I tried checking and unchecking the box and it had no effect at all. I'll wait until patch #2 and try re-importing my league again.

bbmike · 03-30-2015, 09:25 PM

Finally got to try this again after the latest patch. After importing my OOTP15 league the home jerseys/caps were still overwritten.

However, after manually updating each team with my custom jerseys/caps again the game is remembering now! A bit of a hassle but I'm happy again.

[EDIT]Never mind, I went to play out my first game and the home uniforms were overwritten yet again.

This does not work. I have tried checking the boxes and it still regenerates them, and besides, I'm not going to do this for the hundreds of teams in my universe.

This isn't about reloading matching jerseys. It is a bug where the game overwrites existing files with newly generated, generic images. There is no reason it should regenerate jerseys when there is already a file in the league folder, and it's not pulling them from the main game folder. It's making facegen unusable.

Here are the many threads on this topic. This needs to fixed: https://www.google.com/search?q=OOTP...sm=93&ie=UTF-8

bulldog55 · 10-31-2015, 01:34 PM

I tried resetting cap and jersey textures, hoping it might trip some setting to stop regenerating them and then I could copy the custom ones over them, but it crashes at around 55% on the cap and jersey textures. I can reset the cap and jersey logos just fine.

bulldog55 · 02-13-2016, 07:33 PM

Bump.

This bug makes facegen useless. I cannot properly report it in the bug thread because the FTP instructions are missing, and I cannot open a support ticket because it will not fully upload my league files there either. Nobody responds to posts. OOTP's support system is just awful. There is no way for the average user to get help or report issues.

PLEASE FIX THIS IN OOTP 17.

Please send Matt Arnold a PM and please be sure to contain your support ticket number.

Any fix? We are updating a MP game from '15 to '16 and we are having the same issue.

DCHepler25 · 03-16-2016, 08:16 AM

I will test this tonight in v17 to see if anything has changed.

Kanonen80 · 04-18-2016, 11:45 AM

So I thiiink I found the solution for my league.

In the past, I had the correctly-named files in the main OOTP jersey/ballcap directories so when I pressed "auto-load" for a team's jersey/cap it loaded them just fine and copied the files to the league's jersey/ballpark folders correctly. However, when pictures for players were generated, some jerseys would revert back to a OOTP default based on team colors, even if I had the "lock" option checked.

I eventually noticed that after I auto-loaded the custom art that some of the "jersey type" drop downs still said "Standard" instead of "Custom Texture". And it looked like THOSE were the jersey/caps getting overwritten with defaults.

So the trick I'm using now is to copy the correct art into the league's Jersey/Ballcap folders and then go into each teams Settings and Colors page and making sure ALL the drop downs read "Custom Texture" and that the lock option is checked. Kind of a pain, but it's worked through two rounds of generating player portraits.
