EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor v1: BUG REPORTS & FEATURE REQUESTS

[Javs]

I downloaded x64... It works with x86, thanks!

[Ahall88]

I'm having a problem creating new teams; whenever I make a new team and try to save the editor crashes and when I reload it the finance info, rules & structures, ruling bodies, schedule templates, and transfer rules tabs are all blank.(The created team does show up, but I'm sure the database is now unplayable.)
I can create a new league without any problems though.
Should I just use EHM 2007 pre-game editor to add all the teams?
(Sorry if this has already been brought up/solved I only briefly skimmed the other pages.)

I have the same issue and it was introduced in v0.1.5 of editor, tho on v0.1.5 it wasn't possible to load db at all afterwards.
There were no such problem in v0.1.4, because I created handful of clubs with it without any issues, so I guess that it have something to do with histories.

Another thing is when filling club histories, then position is off, for example, if in editor I input that in 15/16 season club finished 3rd, then in game it shows up as 4th and so on (one position lower) and club histories year 2015 transfers as 14/15 season stats in game, while in player histories year 2015 transfers as 15/16 season stats in game. In my opinion there should be one format for both histories and maybe there was planned one, but in team history you put (-1) for wrong column/code - you did it for position column/code, instead of year column/code (these are only my speculations)...

Thanks for the reports. I'll check this out. It sounds like there is an issue when the data is saving - most likely following the wide-ranging fix I made last weekend.

I'll check out the positions in the club histories too.

The years in the player histories and club/competition histories are handled differently in the database, as you say. This is not by design in the Editor but is the design of the database/game. The reason is that club/competition histories can relate to an international competition, such as the World Championships. So the year for club/competition histories has to relate to the year in which the competition ended. If there was a -1 modifier in the Editor (so that you could enter 2014 for the 2014/15 season), you'd have to enter "2014" for the 2015 World Championships, which wouldn't make much sense. Hence the difference between player histories and club/competition histories.

I checked this out and it looks like it may be a bug with the game. I'll raise this and also the club records issue (player names appear scrambled in game) with Riz.

Here is a new version (v 0.1.7) with the above issue fixed: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 85#p206841

What's up guys, really noob question here. I downloaded the Editor and messed around with it a little bit. I tried to save it as a EH1 Database and I put it into my folder with all the other databases I've downloaded from here. The issue I'm having is that it won't save as a .db file so I can't use it. I'm not very smart.

How can I change the players budget of the teams? No matter what I type, it does not change.

And in general, why were the team reputations increased? Did the Community agree on a specific area with the individual leagues? In Germany DEL the lowest is 5000.

Unfortunately, I have been a while out of the community and have not noticed everything.

Change them, then when you create a new game tick the option "do not change financial adjustments", something like that, can't remember off hands. It's after the DB options.

[djskek]

Don't work with Editor (v 0.1.7). There you can write what you want. Nothing changes in the game. Whether the function is active or not. With the old editor and older databases it still works.

f.e. Augsburg always 6.5 million - 7.0 million.

How do I edit player injuries? For example Jonathan Quick got injured in the first game of the season, that is a huge factor in the fact that the Kings aren't in a playoff spot. Also how do I edit draft pick rights? Just the other day Calgary traded a couple of 2017 draft picks for Stone from the Coyotes. I know how to move Stone to the flames but I don't know how to move the picks to Arizona.

[archibalduk]

You can't edit injuries or draft picks in saved games. To edit them in databases you can edit the extra_config.cfg file.

[zbguy]

You can't edit them as in you won't ever be able to edit them, or they just can't be edited right now?

[archibalduk]

They are unlikely to ever be editable. Most of the saved game structure is unknown to me and so I can only really makes things in the saved game editable if they exist in the database. Additionally, certain aspects (such as contract data) is dealt with differently in the saved game compared to the database (hence why editing contract data in the saved game via the Editor does not work). Maybe one day I can expand what the Editor can edit in the saved game but it would require many, many hours' work and ultimately the database side of things is my priority so that we can improve how we produce database updates.

Is there any possibility to restrain reserve teams to get promoted? I am currently working on the danish first division and of 15 teams, 12 is reserve teams, which irl, can't get promoted.

This is something for Riz more than Archi.

[salm]

Hmm... Maybe a stupid Q but can't finde the database filr to open and Edit for v.9,1... isnt that update possible to edit?

[archibalduk]

You need to edit the imported database.db file created by the game after you use the in-game Import function.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I've edited the NHL awards to go as far back as possible for most awards, including adding people where applicable, for example Dominik Hasek. However, two things happen when I start a new game. 1. The awards only show up to 1986, nothing prior, and when I click on the people I've created, like Hasek, the game crashes. Any ideas on how to get around either of these two issues in the game editor.
Thanks

The 1986 cut-off is a limitation brought over from EHM 2007. I'll mention to Riz in case this can be lifted.

I'll check out the crash - thanks for reporting.

Archi, I'm not sure if this is a problem of the editor or the game (I think the latter, but I prefer asking). If you change a team's status fro Junior to Professional, for example, the DB saves it (close and reload show updated information), but the game does not retain the new status. I have screenshots if it's not clear.
Can you have a look?

Thanks - I'll check it out.

Just a quick update on the Editor: At the moment I'm concentrating on getting some Updater functions up and running as we need this in order to be able to migrate the TBL Rosters master database from using the EHM 2007 format database to using the EHM 1 format database. The migration will have significant benefits for the TBL Rosters project as we will no longer be bound by the EHM 2007 database limitations - e.g. we will be able to add new playable leagues to the master database, update league rules, not worry about the EHM 2007 Pre-Game resetting player roles, etc.

I think the only two updating functions we'll need in order to enable migration are player career history updating and staff updating (by staff updating I mean contract_update, attribute_update and non_player_update - these three spreadsheets will be covered by a single spreadsheet in the Editor). I now have a very rudimentary player career history updating function up and running. This one is a little more advanced and flexible than the Updater for the following reasons:

• There is no longer any need to have the "correct" file name or XML identifier. Instead, the identifier is entered at Cell A1 of the spreadsheet. This will stop the annoying issue with LibreOffice removing the identifier from the XML data as well as allowing us to have CSV files with any filename we want.
• Dates (such as date of birth) are now entered into a single cell. Any separator can be used (e.g. using periods or slashes to separate the date, month and year). It is also possible to set the date format (e.g. European, North American or Japanese format - so date/month/year, month/year/date, etc).
• It is possible to use imperial or metric measurements.
• Text matching will be more flexible - e.g. you can optionally also use club short names as well as club long names to match against.
• Text matching (e.g. matching club names from the spreadsheet with those in the database) should be significantly quicker than in the Updater version 2.x.
• Importing staff histories should be even quicker - it'll benefit from the improved text matching along with an improved way in which the Editor handles staff histories. This will make importing data, removing duplicates, etc far, far quicker than the Updater.
• The Editor will prevent duplicate staff histories from being imported. Instead, it'll edit the existing item rather than adding it as a duplicate. This means that it will be much easier to later add goalie-specific data.

In addition to adding the first Updater functions, I have also added hi-dpi support. Having just switched to a 4k screen, I can see how poorlythe Editor scales. I have now almost entirely fixed this - it scales correctly and you get nice high resolution icons, etc (rather than blocky zoomed ones). I just need to fix a couple of smaller icons and one set of tabs on the Rules and Structure screen.

Other than this, I'm also making a few miscellaneous tweaks such as migrating the settings from a separate settings file to using the Windows registry. This will make coding things a little cleaner as well as mean that users won't lose their settings on the odd occasion I change the settings file format.

There's still a heap of work to be done and so there's no ETA yet.

we need filters: teams by league, players by team.

Absolutely! At least teams by league would be a good start...

[archibalduk]

Yes filters is next on the list after the above. It involves a fairly significant tweak which will take a fair bit of time to set up.

[ZaZooM]

Arenas by league would be great.
