[EHM: EA] Anyway to edit EHM Salary Cap?

[boundedcascade]

I hate the cap both because it limits me and I don't like it in the actual sport. It doesn't make things interesting to me and I was wondering if there was a way to remove/make it so high it is pointless?

[mpronger]

Have you tried editing the "transfer_rules_config.cfg" file?

It's currently:
"CAP" "National Hockey League" 69000000
"FLOOR" "National Hockey League" 53000000

If you place 0 instead of the value there, it'll remove the cap, at least in EHM2007 it did.

[boundedcascade]

Tried it and can't get it to work. Tried 0 and adding a 0 on, and putting it to 99999999 and still nothing

[sluice]

Related question (I don't mind to hijack..) but does the salary cap increases?

I got you all covered, this is what you need to do...

1. First off, assuming you are using TBL Rosters 7.3. This only works when creating new games.
2. Goto: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Eastside Hockey Manager\data\database\TBL Rosters v7.3
3. Edit: transfer_rules_config.cfg
4. The values have change since 2007, use this:

Code: Select all

 "SALARY_CAP"   "National Hockey League" 0

5. Save this file and start a new game (continuing an existing game will not work)
6. No, you can't trade a scrub for St. Louis anymore
7. You're welcome

That's the thing...
I just tried it (with Nino's 74-75 database), and it still mentions the Salary Cap in the "main" window.

At this point, I cannot say if the cap is truly in effect, but there's clearly something about a 44M$ cap.

Then you are doing it wrong. It's working fine for me, I'm running the game with it turned off right now. Make sure you are updating the correct file and make sure you are editing it to say SALARY_CAP, not CAP. You have to edit the transfer_rules_config.cfg in the TBL rosters directory, not the one in the database folder (that one gets ignored).

I'm not familiar with Nino's DB, but you make need to create a transfer_rules_config.cfg file in that DB's directory. The game looks for it there when a new game is initiated.

This absolutely works.

Edit: Nvm me

[bstar]

See, no cap!

[MXD]

Bstar : That is exactly how I proceeded.

But there was three transfer-config.cfg files : one with Copy,one with Default and the other was "plain". I modified all of them.

Sorry for non-exact names, but I'm not home ATM.

[bstar]

Make sure (where ever your database you are importing is located) you have a file called: transfer-config.cfg (all other file names will be ignored)

If you don't have this file then you need to create it. This is the only line you need to add to affect the cap:

"SALARY_CAP" "National Hockey League" 0

Ok, I did this and nothing happened. I rightclicked on the transfer_rules_config.cfg to open it with Notepad. What did I do wrong?

[bstar]

Satyr, just change all the "CAP" instances to "SALARY_CAP" and change all the "FLOOR" instances to "SALARY_FLOOR".

Then you need to start a new game, these values seem to only get used when you first create a game.

Thanks! It's so obvious once you know the trick

[MXD]

Fixed it. In the end, I was wrong about one thing : you really have to change "SALARY_CAP", and not "CAP".

[bstar]

Happy to see you guys got it working!

[Satyr]

For those who wonder: The cap can be lifted. For example, I changed the cap to this:

"SALARY_CAP" "National Hockey League" 93000000
"SALARY_FLOOR" "National Hockey League" 53000000

In the game it turns out like this:

[Alessandro]

It doesn't work for the KHL, however

[bstar]

It doesn't work for the KHL, however

Did you try this:
"SALARY_CAP" "Kontinental Hockey League" 0

[MGSPORTS]

It doesn't go to 0 and if it did Teams wouldn't be releasing Players. How about it way high a Billion so Teams can afford everybody? If we could have unlimited Contacted then my Blackhawks wouldn't be releasing players before season.

[nino33]

But I only want to do it for one Team the Blackhawks not all NHL Teams.

Sorry, you can't remove the Salary Cap for just one team

[MGSPORTS]

Thanks and I'm okay with all Teams.

If you want to trick the game with the salary cap, hire Lou Lamoriello as assistant GM.

[Moses Doughty]

Does anyone know if the cap can be changed on a mac? Tried all of this so far but nothing works.

[MGSPORTS]

I want to make it as High as it can be for NHL but the 9999999999999999999999 doesn't show up.
