migrating a database from OOTP 11 to OOTP15 or 16

Stealcompany · 03-04-2015, 03:43 PM

Back in OOTP 11 I created a fictional country with more than 400 cities/towns/villages and created a league based in that country with a couple major leagues, four levels of minors and college and high school feeder leagues. The process for creating a fictional country was relatively straightforward in that edition.

With the arrival of OOTP 12 the method of recreating my fictional country became more involved, at least to me, and i never got around to moving my country to the newer edition.

Now it's going to be OOTP 16 in a couple weeks and looking over the old league i thought it would be fun to resuscitate it but i'd also like to avoid all the xml involved in starting from scratch.

Do I need to move the database from 11 to 12 to 13 to 14 to 15?
Or is there a way to export the database information from OOTP 11 and then import it into the latest version?

I've purchased every version of OOTP since it first came out on macintosh.

This is the safest way to go.

Yup. You can even download the trial versions of each in order to do that if you can't find your licensed copies. I used to keep old copies for years for this purpose.
