How can I change the Year?

[Road Rage]

Well, I played Freeware EHM 1.16 with the 2010 Roster but the year in the Game is 2004, How Can I change that ?

[philou21]

You can't. Plain and simple. Next time do a search please there's already alot of topic with the question.

Actually, the start date can be changed in the freeware (1.16).

I don't remember what file you need to edit, though - it's been ages since I've done it. Try searching around on http://www.fhockey.com/. They're the best place for the freeware EHM.

Or better yet, check the roster update's readme file, if it came with one. They should definitely have instructions in there on how set the proper date for the rosters.

I always read here that the year cannot been change. And that we need to adjust the age of the players instead.

In EHM 2004, 2005, and 2007 it can't be changed, but in the freeware it can.

It requires editing of one of the config files, but it can be done.

Can you tell how to do that?

It's been much too long since I've done it; I don't remember what file it's in. And I can't get EHM to run, so I can't really check, either.

It shouldn't be hard to find, though. Start a new game with your updated rosters, and then save it. Exit EHM, and go into your 'saves' folder in the main EHM directory, and you should see folders for each of your saves. Go into the save you just made, and take a look at any *.ehm files. I'm assuming those are the ones you'll want; They're just text files. If I'm remembering correctly, one should have the year at the top (2004, in Road Rage's case). Change this year, save, exit, and then load your save.

Again, it's been so long since I've done this, so I don't want to guarantee that this is how to do it. And I can't start EHM on my PC, so I can't have a look for myself. If you get really super lost, try zipping your save and emailing it to me (address in my profile), and I can take a look for you.

File you need to edit is league.ehm it's the first row in file

You could try This (valid download link Here).

That's probably the best you can hope for, since to truly add shootouts to the game, it would surely require hacking and altering the source code.

Where is the league file located? Can't seem to find it.

[B. Stinson]

Are you using the old freeware version?

[y2jericho]

No I got it from C-Net I believe.

[B. Stinson]

The league.ehm file is only a part of the freeware version's structure. The new versions (EHM 2004, 2005, 2007) won't have it, and don't have a way of changing the start date.
