Help Importing from OOTP20

Lordofbrewtown · 01-11-2022, 07:35 PM

I need some help/assistance importing my games to OOTP22 from OOTP20. I downloaded - or at least think I downloaded the OOTP21 version to import there before importing into OOTP22.

However, when I follow the manual instructions and choose the 'Import OOTP20 Game' option - no OOTP20 saved games are listed. If I change the default directories and try to go to applications and choose OOTP20, there's nothing showing in the data or default_data folders either. The only files I can see under /data are skins and fonts.

Am I going to the wrong folder, or did I not download OOTP21 correctly?

Look under My Documents - OOTP or My Library is on Mac.

Appreciate the suggestion; but, still not working. I can find the files on my Mac; but, OOTP21 won't allow me to choose anything other than OOTP21.

tried to take a screen shot below. I feel like OOTP21 maybe isn't loaded correctly (since I didn't purchase, I don't have a key)? I don't remember having this issue in prior versions.

Can I drop/drag a screen shot into a post? Doesn't seem to be working.

To clarify, in OOTP21, if I choose 'import OOTP20 game', it defaults to OOTP21 folders. I can navigate to Library/Application Support, however OOTP20 (or OOTP19, OOTP22) are not provided as options to choose from within the application support folder - even though if I use the finder, I can see the saved games folder and world files under OOTP20 there

what the game imports is the .dat files i believe. never used a mac - so can't be of assistance. Hopefully someone with one of those things can be of help. Good luck.

Try copying all the necessary game files to that one directory it will let you access.
