Importing players from other OOTP5 leagues??

marc · 01-31-2004, 03:42 AM

Is there a utility out there that will import a player from one league file into another?? Thanks in advance for any help.

I think Pierre developed one, but can't remember its name. Look here: http://www.tresclub.com/downloads/downloads.htm

I think it is called Pierre's Player Import Editor.

You can import teams with it, too.

How do you use it? I can't figure it out

Slugger:

DreamTeams gave me detailed instructions on how to use the Editor.

I will post it this weekend if you like.

I'm computer-challenged, but DreamTeams instructions were great.

Let me know if you want the instructions.

Slugger:

BACK UP YOUR LEAGUES BEFORE YOU USE THIS UTILITY.

How to use Pierre's Team and Player Import Editor:

On the "copy from..." side, select the league directory that you want to copy from.
A list box will appear on the left side under the "From Team ..." name.
Select a team in the list box
Another list box will appear with all the players in this team.
You have also the choice to switch from players in the team to Free agent.

On the "Copy To ..." side (right side), select the league that you want to copy to.
A blank list box under the "To ..." title will appear.

Now you have the choice to import an entire team or more teams to only one team (I guess the best choice is to import one team at the time) and/or any players you want.
To do this, just Drag and Drop a team from the "From Team ..." to the "To ..." list box and/or Drag and Drop a player from the "Player" to the "To ..." list box.

Then other options will appear:
1 - Replace existing players in a team
This option will take all the players in the target team and put them in the FA. That will take all the new players and put them in the target team.
2 - Add Players in the Team
This will keep all the existing players in the team and fill the blank spots with the new players. (make sure you have enough free spots before using this option)
3 - Add players in the FA
will add players in the FA.

If you took option 1 or 2, another list box will appear asking you to select a target Team.
Select a team and press on the "Process Button"

If you took the option 3, the process button will be enabled, just press on it.

If you made a mistake before pressing on the Process button, press on the "Cancel Button"

That's it, but be aware of this: MAKE A BACKUIP OF YOUR LEAGUE BEFORE USING THIS UTILITY.

Also be aware that one team is missing from the list of teams.
It's the last team in the alphabetical listing of teams.

To get that last team to be listed, go to the LEAGUE STRUCTURE page and exchange it with one of the teams in the other division that you have finished with. After you complete your importing, go back and exchange those two teams and put them back in their original division.

Hope this helps.

OK, I'm having a problem with it. I created a league with 10 teams and there are no players so the rosters are blank. I then follow the directions and drag a player from one league into the "TO...." box and then click on the team in the newly created league that I want him to be on and click process, I go to open the new league to see if it worked and I get and "invalid player file" error and when I try to open one of the teams OOTP shuts down. Any suggestions on what to do?

Not sure, but this might be becasue the game was either open or not open when you made the transfer... one way works, the other doesn't if I remember correctly.

Close out the game when you use the Editor.
