Can I edit EHM:EA databases? Is there an EHM:EA editor?

Post by Stray Games »

Hi all, first off this community is amazing!

Secondly, I would like to simply add me to a team, replace a player on the team with my name and bio...
But even with roster updates out, I am unable to figure this out.

Any tips?

The old editors do not like the new version of the game, unless I am doing it wrong.

Thank you for all the awesome work you all put in to supporting us and these games!

You can edit the EHM 07 db we released earlier today and then import that to the game

Thank you,

I am using the TBL Rosters v7.3 roster, I have tried everything from downloading .db editors, to using the old save editor...
Is there no easy way to add or modify a player?

Thank you for your help and time so far.

The easiest way to edit a player fast and play him in the game is by using the EHM pre-game editor. You should do this before you start a new game. Edit a player... let's say you want to be Penguins. Edit Crosby. You change his bio and attributes and make him like you want. Then you start a new game as the Penguins. There's no Crosby in Penguins, he's you instead.

Thank you for the quick reply, I have tried to do that, but get an error:

Code: Select all

index.dat File not found

You need to use the EHM:07 db v.7.3
Not the EHM:EA version

Pre game editor for EHM: Ea?

Post by Philly48 »

Hello
Recently bought EHM: Ea and with the updated rosters i was set to start... I thought. Is there no longer an index file to open and load in the pregame editor? Is there any other way to modify things? Or is this not done yet and is a work in progress?

Also..
Is concistency once again a hidden attribute?

No, there's no editor right now. You have to edit the EHM 2007 DB and then import it into EHM:EA afterwards using the Import function in the game.

Consistency remains a hidden attribute. I'm not aware of any attributes changing other than the introduction of Player Roles.
