OOTP 24 Migration and More
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2023 11:23 pm
Once again, OOTP makes it impossible to have an easy migration process for Mac users. In short, I find the easiest way is to move the v23 PEBA.lg folder into the v24 Saved Games folder (I suggest renaming it 'PEBA23" so there's no confusion) - this makes it easy to find when the pop-up menu appears when you select the Import option from the start-up screen. Once you select the 'world.dat' file and the import process completes, just move the PEBA.lg folder back to it's v23 location and remove the '23' (if you had amended the title as recommended). I do suggest quitting OOTP 23 first, so there is no side effects of moving the files around.
The real trick is finding the v23 and v24 OOTP data file locations. To help out, I've listed the file hierarchy below - you'll note they differ significantly. I recommend opening two finder windows so that you can leave them both open simultaneously - making the moving of the PEBA.lg folder easier. I typically make an alias of this location and place it in the main OOTP 24 folder location, so you don't have to search again. It's mind blowing.
v23 location:
/Users//”USER”//Library/Containers/com.ootpdevelopments.ootp23macqlm/Data/Application Support/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 23/saved_games
v24 location:
/Users//”USER”//Library/Containers/OOTP Baseball 24/Data/Application Support/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 24/saved_games
"USER" being whatever your user name may be - for instance, mine is 'michael'.
