Help: Creating a Player

Post by watts555 »

Hey guys I am trying to create a guy in EHM. Whenever I try to save using the pregame editor, an error comes up saying Staff (my player) is not set-up properly. I have selected my created player as Player for the team. Can anyone help me with this issue?

The best and easiest way to do it is with the Pre-Game Editor. But you will need to start a new game.

It seems like he can't save what he have edited.

When you create a player you must choose his classification on the first tab, the 'Staff Detail' tab, to 'Player' as well. Not only change 'Job for Club' to player in the 'Contract Detail' tab

Just a hint: I would not create a completely new player. I would look for some useless scrub or retired player and simply edit him to your liking. Creating new players from scratch can cause problems with the database and lead to corrupted savegames.
At least that's been my experience.

The most obvious thing would be that you haven't set the staff classification or the job. These would cause this error.

I have created loads of swedish juniorplayers without any problems. I use the 1.06 editor.
