Re: EHM:EA Assistant: A saved game editor/scout
So it seems that it doesn't save at all. When I name my shortlist I click save, and it doesn't actually save it, nothing happens at all.
Plus I can't import my shortlists because EHM saves it as a .flt and the Scout uses the extension .pls.

Yes EHM:EA can read. By default shortlist is saved to User Data Folder.konnan511 wrote:So it saves in a .pls file, can EHM:EA read this? When I go to import my shortlist into the game, it can't find it.

Re: EHM:EA Assistant: A saved game editor/scout
Thank you very much for this! Just tried it for the first time and it works great 
Just as a side note, went in to check the potential of both McDavid and Eichel (as I started the game with both at -10 so there is no doubt they'll be first and second pick so I'm not getting anything new or feel like cheating or something) and holly batman Eichel random'ed PA 200!! Yet he is still behind McDavid in the scouting rankings as CA McDavid is far better and the PA is not that far really.

After save shortlist your log count change from 64 to 66. Open File->Log and check why asssistant don't save the shortlist.konnan511 wrote: First image: Attempting to save via the scout. It says it is saving it as a .pls.

Re: EHM:EA Assistant: A saved game editor/scout
On my case, I have a 98 player shortlist exported from the game (.pls file) the loading process goes from 0-98... I received the successful imported message, but only 3 players actually show up in the assistant. Any idea why is that?garfild wrote:After save shortlist your log count change from 64 to 66.

How do I make my shortlist from EHM:EA set to a .pls file instead of the .flt file?

You are probably clicking on Filter > Export. You need to click on Search > Export. That will give you the .pls file.konnan511 wrote:How do I make my shortlist from EHM:EA set to a .pls file instead of the .flt file?

Could someone tell me what's the staff potential? I thought staff attributes never changed but there's a potential column, is it useless? http://i.imgur.com/bbzR0B3.png

Re: EHM:EA Assistant: A saved game editor/scout
I just update my Assistant and give a try the shortlist mode, saving is ok, but when i reload it, the assistant is not responding.
If it loads ok, the shortlist is show nothing. For example, I save 3 players, but when I load it, none of these 3 players name show up.
Any idea how make this working?
Thanks
