Catobase and expansion

ctorg · 10-15-2004, 12:19 PM

I've been using Catobase for a long time, since back when you had to do most things manually and all that. Never before have I had a problem with it regarding expansion, but the other day, I did.

I have the latest version, which I just got last week. I started a new league over the weekend and simmed through some seasons, running it after each one. Then I expanded.

When I went to run catobase, I got errors. First, it told me that there were teams listed as new whose names corresponded to old teams, or something like that, and prompted me to change them by bringing up the old team name screen. I didn't change them because they were all correct.

Then, it told me I needed to copy the league.html file from the c:\LEAGUESITE directory into the data directory it was using. I did that.

When it finally finished, I took a look at the awards screen. It was blank. I went to assign the awards, but when I clicked on the drop down for players, there were no players.

The database had been fine for the previous 20 seasons that I'd simmed, but in the season where I expanded, it just didn't work. I tried restarting, running everything again, and everything else I could think of. Nothing worked.

Has anyone else had similar problems? If so, how could they be solved?

Wow, nothing at all? I guess I am the only one.

I am running the 6.1.4 update and have not had any problems with expansion. Not sure how to help. You might want to go to the catobase website and email him the files to look over.

Yeah, I suppose I'll do that. I was hoping there would be a quick fix someone here would know about. It's a really weird error to get. Anyway, I'm glad to know it was just my league and it's not some general problem with catobase.
