Help with rosters update

Post by FrenchTickler »

Hi,
I am new to the EHM concept and I have discovered that there are online rosters that can be downloaded to change those already in game. The only problem is that I have no idea what to do once I've downloaded them, how do I add them to the game? Btw, I am using NHL EHM 2007.

C:\Games\NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007\data\database

save them there.. or which ever set up you use! Basically main EHM folder > Data > Database and save it. put it in a new folder if its not already else it'll overwrite the actual original database. then when you start a new game it should ask you which databse you want to load up.

That's odd. Maybe you missed a file or something.

It should go like Documents > Sports Interactive > NHL Eastside Hockey Manager > Data > Database.

Once you get the file downloaded, copy the whole updated folder into the Database folder. This way, you can choose which database to load when you start a new game.

Nah.

The folder in Documents is used to save your practice schedules, tactics, saved games, etc.

The correct filepath is: whereveryouputEHM/NHL EHM 2007/data/database.

Then you put the whole roster (e.g. LidasDB3.0) folder inside the existing database folder, alongside the files that are already there. Make sure that you have the latest patch (i.e. 3.0.4) installed, it won't let you choose between various databases if you don't.

Lastly: searching forums helps. This has already been answered like hundreds of times. Anyways, good luck installing! ;)

Not to mention that it is in the "readme" file in every updated roster version Lidas and Manimal have ever done. :-D
