Error Messages After Updating OOTP9
 

I recently downloaded the latest full installation of Out of the Park Baseball with the intention of updating my own copy. As instructed, I installed over my old copy; however, I accidentally told it to install to my C drive rather than my E drive (where my old OOTP installation was located). I cancelled the installation when I realised my mistake and reinstalled properly.

When I open OOTP now, however, I get a variety of error messages.

"Could not find folder /facegen/little_endian! Facegen will be disabled" comes up immediately. I looked and data/facegen/little_endian is where it should be and seems to be in order.

"TEXT_ENGINE::my_load_text_file() - Folder doesn't exist"
"TEMPLATES_ENGINE::load_template_file - cannot open template file boxscores_page.tpl"

Those three messages come up when I open the program. My saved game loads fine but when I try to play it various other errors come up when it notices something missing, crashing the game in the progress.

Problem resolved. :)
 

Got this thing taken care of myself. :)

Turns out that OOTP was, for whatever reason, looking in My Documents\Out of the Park Development\OOTP Baseball 9 for those files rather than in the program location. I specifically told the program that my data was in the program directory, but when I copied my stuff into the My Documents location it all worked.

So it's a bit weird, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

That location is the primary location used when the entire game is installed. I use a different location but nothing got put into the C drive so it works just fine. Your problem was because you had mistakenly had some of the game files put into the C drive where the game first looks, no matter what you put as the real location of the game...This is quite common in other game files and some program files. I wish that would be addressed by Windows but I doubt it ever will because I guess they feel that the majority of users don't understand how to change the location of a program, or don't want to for fear of what you encountered.
About the only way to fix that is what you did or delete the files in C drive pertaining to the sim....however, you would have to reinstall because the sim still puts a few files in the C drive, although they are only cosmetic in nature.

For any one else that has this problem, delete all of the sim files in C drive and reinstall in the drive you want the game in. Remember though, if you do that, that if you use a mod file and it tells you to put the mod in such and such file, they are using the location of where the sim normally sets itself up at, namely C drive, so you have to take that into account. Which is easy enough....just forget about the mydocuments folder and go from there. Anyway, it is not difficult to do. ;):)

And now I know why. Thanks for the tip, greatgrandpa!
