Editing nations & adding nation logos

Post by trailerman1978 »

As life has settled, after a 3 year break I've got time to play again and am playing with the editor!

2 questions!

1) What makes a national team or (U20) eligible? For example like Jamaica / Bahrain have national teams, yet they have NO Players / Staff in the editor, the GAME IMPORTANCE button is also [ no Hockey ] ? So what makes a country have a national team in game? For example what would I do to get rid of Bahrain?

2) Is it possible to add country Flags as logos? If so, how would I go about doing this?

Regards,

Cowboy

Editor Questions!

1 - From memory, you need to increase Game Importance for the nation and add a minimum number of players and staff of that nationality to the DB. IIRC the game needs a minimum of 128 players of that nationality.

2 - Yes this is possible. Take a look at this example: viewtopic.php?p=171857#p171857

Thanks mate got it working!

Now I'm stuck as the leagues (Starting in 2015) I've created in the Canadian Pyramid will not work together! The newest league I've created in the province of Quebec (CEGEP Hockey League "A") will not work when loaded with other leagues in the Canadian pyramid but will work on it's own! No matter what I do it will not run in conjunction with the other leagues, could you take a peak and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Scratch that last one! If I take any file out of the Canadian pyramid I've created the (CEGEP Hockey League "A") will work! Is it that it may be too many files "Leagues" loaded for 1 nation? I've currently got 18 leagues loaded?

Assuming you're using the v1.5 beta of EHM then the number of leagues shouldn't matter too much. It might be that there's some issue with your A League structure settings.

I've successfully figured out what the problem was with plenty of tinkering. So my new question is Once I add a New "Draft" (USHL) to the game and to the league assigned under transfer rules why does it not show in game (Not able to trade picks, no lists, etc etc etc)?

I'm afraid the game doesn't support additional drafts being added. That aspect is still pretty heavily hardcoded into the game.
