2041 Season Thread-Viva Las Vegas!!

[Cnasty]

Welcome to OOTP '17 fellas!!!!!

This will serve as your 2041 season thread.

Below is the information to get your games up to date.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to get your file into '17.

1.) Delete any old files. They will be located in user/documents/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP 17/Saved_Games folder. They will have a .lg extension.
2.) Create a folder in the Saved_Games folder called NDL.lg
3.) Download the following folder: http://ndlootp.com/game/lgfile/ndl.tar.gz
4.) Extract the ndl.tar.gz file into the NDL.lg folder. (you may need a program such as WinZip/WinRaR to do this.)
5.) If you now have an NDL.tar file, you will need to extract that into the NDL.lg folder.
6.) Look in the NDL.lg folder, if there is a settings folder, continue to step 6. If not, create a folder called: settings
7.) Download the GM Account Access file: http://ndlootp.com/game/Other_Data/accountsdata_gms.dat
8.) Place the accountsdata_gms.dat file into the settings folder. (Be sure this is named properly)
9.) Open OOTP, select the NDL league. Try to export via FTP.


How to Get Images - (3 types available)

JERSEYS:
1.) Delete your current jerseys folder, located at user/documents/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP 17/Saved_Games folder/NDL.lg/jerseys
2.) Download the updated jerseys folder: http://ndlootp.com/game/Other_Data/jerseys.zip
3.) Extract the file to the location of the jerseys folder that you just deleted.

BALL CAPS:
1.) Delete your current ballcaps folder, located at user/documents/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP 17/Saved_Games folder/NDL.lg/ballcaps
2.) Download the updated ballcaps folder: http://ndlootp.com/game/Other_Data/ballcaps.zip
3.) Extract the file to the location of the ballcaps folder that you just deleted.

TEAM LOGOS:
1.) Delete your current team logos folder, located at user/documents/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP 17/Saved_Games folder/NDL.lg/news/html/images/team_logos.
2.) Download the updated team_logos folder: http://ndlootp.com/game/Other_Data/team_logos.zip
3.) Extract the file to the location of the team_logos folder that you just deleted. Ensure that the folder structure is setup as /news/html/images/team_logos.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

File Cleanup
If you'd like to cleanup your file, which means that you will lose box scores, recaps and messages, then here as a batch file that you can download and place directly into your NDL.lg folder. Once it is in there, you just click the file and let it run for a few minutes. It does take some time. This may/may not help with speed. (note: only the specific file goes directly into the NDL.lg folder. Don't use a sub folder)

Sim schedule updated for the week.

There are a lot of things that need to be done versus the past during this time period within the game.

In game voting for offseason awards
Arbitration
Hall of fame voting is coming up

Each of these things are handled in the game now and are a great addition.

[Cnasty]

You have 2 sims to get award voting done.

This current one where you go into NDL>Manual Award voting complete your ballot and then click FINISH VOTING then export like you normally do when finished with the file.

And also, get your arbitration done.

Has the game already generated the new college players for the upcoming season?

Are we actually putting the Jerseys, Ballcaps, and Logos into the OOTP15 folders or is that a copy paste thing that was missed?

[shel311]

My 1st goal from my owner is, in these exact words, "Don't suck completely."

Not making any promises Mr. Massey!!!

Another one is, "Keep building your team up, in order to reach the playoffs in the next 6 seasons."

Good to see Mr. Massey has very low expectations.

Copy and paste error. Nothing with OOTP '15 any longer. Good catch.

This is how I felt after successfully not obliterating the league, doing a successful offseason rollover, and getting us to '17

1.) Delete any old files. They will be located in user/documents/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP 17/Saved_Games folder.

FWIW the game setup everything in a folder called "data" or something in the documents folder for me. Not sure if anyone else is doing a fresh install, but for future use if you can't find it. Also, was unable to rename the folder as the game will only load if the "data" folder is present

Such a great gif Corey
