Help converting old OOTP14 league

Tiger Fan · 10-31-2016, 02:18 PM

I have a league I created in OOTP14 and want to move it forward to the current version. The issue is I have OOTP16 but never purchased OOTP15. I used the OOTP15 demo a while back to move another league from 14 to 16 so my demo period is expired.

Is there a way to move an OOTP14 league through to version 16 and 17 without access to the demo for OOTP15?

Has to be brought through each version. Perhaps you can find/solicit someone who still has 15 and will convert it for you?

Or maybe you could install the OOTP 15 demo on another machine.

Markus should create a universal reader that converts league files to the current version of the game.

Appreciate the help. I found a work around for my league.

Main thing I wanted to do was have the fictional country and cities of Breda I made in an OOTP14 game to use in the new version. I thought it would be a pain to re-edit the world.dat file but I found by simply copying and pasting the nation and city data from the OOTP14 world.dat file I made across seems to have worked fine.

I do agree a universal reader to convert files to the current version of the game would be a welcome addition.
