EHM 2007 Updater (A Pre-Game & Saved Game Editor)

[archibalduk]

Thanks! All received. I'm going to take a look tomorrow.

Two things that I need to add to the next version:

1. The duplicate_staff spreadsheet has incorrect headings. The headings just need rearranging. It might be just the csv version that is affected - I need to double-check.

2. OpenOffice is causing some problems with csv files. It seems to replace the comma/semi-colons with tabs. I know a couple of users, including Umwoz (see two posts above), have had this problem. I'm going to add tab delimited csv support to the Updater.

Just tried to load a saved game.

It crashes at 88% on "player_stats_history.tmp"

No error message, it just crashes.

I came across a bug this weekend where if you load a second saved game, it doesn't clear the memory first and so you end up with two games melded into one. So you need to reload the Updater each time you want to load a new saved game. I'll add that to my list of bugs to fix.

Could you upload your saved game for me so I can take a look? That's probably the best way to debug it.

I could do that. Where do you want me to upload it to? I am not seeing how to attach files to posts.

Try www.zippyshare.com . CJ uses that one a lot and it seems okay.

It was almost 100MB so it takes a while to upload.

[jhart05]

Yeah. Thought it also may be because I didn't sign up for an account.

So figured it was the "non-registered user" speed.

Tried this on the new 2006-07 UUDB v6.1.

I'm liking all the csv files.

If I could suggest one thing, I see Contracted Club and Playing for Club, would be nice to also have the team who holds that player's rights.

1. The duplicate_staff spreadsheet has incorrect headings. The headings just need rearranging. It might be just the csv version that is affected - I need to double-check.

I can confirm this is also the case with the .xml file.

Yeah, player rights is something I really need to work on. It's one of my top priorities for the next version (once I have the spare time to work on it).

Thanks! I'll fix it for the next version.

Thanks for uploading the file. It seems the saved game causes the Updater to go into an infinite loop, continually loading the same part of the file into the memory until the RAM is full (this is also known as a memory leak). I'll need to take a closer look at the saved game at some point. Either the game is corrupt or, more likely, there is an issue with the Updater accessing a certain size of sub-file (I wouldn't be surprised if the player_stats_history.tmp sub-file is zero bytes long and the Updater can't cope with this).

Hi,

I'd like to know if I would be able to edit the salaray cap in saved game with this updater ?
I am in a game with the Montreal Canadiens that I started in the year 1974. With the Nino roster.
But now in 1980, still having the 44M$ cap and everybody wants crazy salaries....

Thanks for the help,

JP

You can edit the cap in the transfer_rules.cfg file located in your database's folder. Some more info here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 650#p23650

You can't change the cap on an already started game

[JPBeaulieu]

Thanks for the info Guys!

Another bug/issue: It looks like the Club Competition History export function do not export national competition data (e.g. Olympics, Euro Hockey Tour, etc).

Also, the comp_history_update_errors.xml column spans in the header are misaligned.

You can for leagues!

Here you go, I uploaded a screenshot:

Open the saved game (uncompressed), press Toolls -> edit wage caps and edit the caps. Simple

edit - i might be using a different save game editor?

edit2- I'm... whats the difference between the original and this one?

Sweet that helps out my UUDB 6.1 run.

I've never used the saved game editor(to close to cheating) so I did not know that

I experimented with raising the caps like IRL but the further you go into time, the more unrealistic that gets. It's not like we can have starplayers with 12 million/year

[XenHL]

Playing the 74 DB I always just take the cap out entirely after I start the game but before I do anything. Much more realistic!
