Some help with historical replay & lahman database (again)

H I Mcdonough · 01-16-2002, 07:20 PM

Hep me, hep me.

I've been attempting to simulate through baseball history and so far have just finished 1910. Until this point, I had just allowed them to dumped into the free agent pool, where I would manually assign them to the teams, and make talent adjustments where applicable.

However! I recently screwed up and now have imported the 1911 rookies via draft. This will take forever to do this way. Is it possible to back out of this at this point and re-load the 1911 rookies, or am I screwed?

This is why we make backups.

Just kidding. This sounds like a problem for Tigerfan. I'll just back out right now and let someone with more experience handle it. But to answer your question to the best of my knowledge, I don't think there is, but like I said, I'm not an expert. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

A backup of your league is the best solution. For the future I reccomend doing it after every season before it proceed to next year. It takes very little time and can save you a ton of headaches. Backup all your .dat files plus the entire contents of your NEWS folder.

As for your problem right now. First make a backup in case this doesnt work. The only solution is to delete all the rookies and create enough fictional rookies to cover the draft size. Rename all the rookies to something easy to remember like 'Rookie'. Let the game complete the draft and then delete all the players in the game named rookie. Now manually import each rookie from the database to the free agent pool and assign them to the proper team.
However, I think in the long run you will find this more time consuming than simply drafting all the rookies to their proper teams. Sorry, I dont have a better solution for you.
Good luck.
