CatoBase question?

UngratefulDead · 03-10-2005, 07:46 PM

What effects will skipping a season have with CatoBase? I ask this because I hit the "Proceed to Next Season" button a little early and am wondering what to do.

Catobase will just have a gap...think of it as a "lockout" year ala the NHL

Okay.. what about the player's stats for that season, will they still be recorded with the next import?

stats should import i think if you have cato setup to import non-ML seasons or something like that. They will show up sort of like minor league stats doo. It wont calculate any of that seasons numbers and add them to the players and accumulated stats nor will it show the playoff results, standings or team records for that season. So your pretty much out of luck, though you could manually enter in that information but your talking about alot of work heh. my only suggestion would be in the future do what i do, as soon as the WS is over the first thing i do before anything else is backup the season. If you have the hardrive space I made a dir for backups after each season i make a folder for that year and backup in there so I can go back to the end of the season of any year. plus it gives you a place to start over if something horrible happens to your database.

Sadly, I backed up after hitting proceed to next season, while still importing the previous stats, and the program hit a snag. Damn.

So, do you still have the exported csv files from the previous season? If so, you can run CatoBase without using the exporter. Just uncheck the box on the options screen and enter the directory where the csv files are as the data directory.

Hmm.. I don't seem to have the csv files anymore, for some reason.

didnt think of that, the csv files get copied into a folder in the data dir under the year, so you could copy those into the data dir and try it but im not sure it. Make sure you uncheck the run exporter in the options.
