Need Help Please - Batch File for FOF07

[fjvieane]

Hi all,

I have been trying to make a swap/batch file for FOF07 and cant get it to work. Ive read some old directions from FOF04 but I cant get those to work.

I use WinXP home, if that info is needed.

If anyone can help, I would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Fred

Create a new text file in your FOF2k7 directory. with the following text, with "HFL" being your league name.


copy universe\HFL\frfoot.fni universe\
copy universe\HFL\frfoot.fcy universe\
copy universe\HFL\*.bmp pictures\
start frfoot2007.exe


Rename that file from a .txt file to a .bat file.

Place a shortcut from the .bat file to your desktop.

Place the .fni, .fcy, and any banners you want into your "universe\leaguename"<LEAGUE name> folder.

You should then be good to go.



Cheers.

Any clue why this was not addressed in FOF 2007?

Thank you Bear, I ended up just manually swapping files out of the universe folder and it works just as well.

Nope. But it is the one mickey-mouse aspect of the game.

It really is. I'd love to get some new players into the UFL, because there's some newbies that love the old USFL (there's a few of us out there) and WFL, but when I explain how to set it up for multiple teams... gah... you shouldn't have to muck with files and folders just to play a game.

I love the game more than anything, but if there's a version 6g or whatever, PLEASE have it able to set up more than one LEAGUE!

A passionate plea for sanity and the long term health of the game! :)

Yeah i am in full agreement here. Not sure why the option wasnt included in this edition. It truly seems like a no brainer but not being a programmer i may be wrong. I have logos ready to go but cannot get the dang batch file to work for me. Please implement this if there is a next patch.
