Re: Official Pre Game Editor Thread. All questions here plea
I'm having a bit of a problem.
I downloaded the 7.4c rosters, did a bit of editing on the pre-game editor (some changes on attributes, changes on team budgets and reputations).
I then imported the database to EHM:EA and started a new game. The game is now highly unstable and crashes when simulating to the next date very often, like between 2 or 3 days in game.
I'm not sure if this is an issue on the edited database or the other settings.
I'm now in the middle of a process of elimination to find out what i might have done wrong, but i would like to know if anyone else has had the same problem?
Also: would it be better to download the roster, import it in game and rather use the editing tools you guys have provided for the EA?

Re: Official Pre Game Editor Thread. All questions here plea
Can you describe exactly what you edited? E.g. did you move teams between leagues?
What leagues are you loading when starting your game? What error messages are you seeing? Is there any way of repeating the issue?

Re: Official Pre Game Editor Thread. All questions here plea
I edited the attributes of Dave Cameron, Mark Stone, Mikael Wikstrand and Marcus Högberg. I also tried to fix Mark Stones salary and raised the Senators budget.
I didn't move any teams or anything like that, but i think i might have ticked the box that Binghamton Senators own their arena.
The problem is it doesn't give an error message at all, atleast not something with an explanation. I just get a box saying that the game stopped working and Windows is looking for a solution (to no avail, ofcourse).
But i actually found a 'kind-of-solution' last night: i started a new game with an unedited 7.4c -database and dropped the database size fron 'Full' to 'Large' and then edited the things i wanted with the EA Asssistant (excellent tool by the way, very easy to use).
After the weekend i'll probably try a game with the database i edited but with an ingame 'Large' database. If that doesn't crash the game i'll try the unedited database with 'Full' ingame data. Might be a bit of a personal issue with my old laptop also, haven't seen anybody else complaining about this problem.

Editor problem
Hi guys,
Long time member of these forums.
I'm a mac user and have been using EHM EA through parallels with no issue at all (highly recommend it).
Anyway I'm really fussy when it comes to players attributes. So I've spent the last few days updating all the NHL rosters and recent draftees to their current teams etc. I have no problem with this part.
My problem is attributes for some players. I've changed many attributes for some younger players and prospects in the editor, I go into the game and they aren't even close to being what I entered into the editor. I was just wondering if this is because I'm on a mac, or if it's just part of the issue importing edited EHM 07 rosters onto EHM EA.
I've literally been trying to get the attributes right for 3 prospects for about 5-6 hours. It's giving me a headache.
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.

Not really the right place for the question, but yes. Just name the picture according to your player: firstname_lastname_DD_MM_YYYY (birthday), place it in the data/pictures/players folder, and voila!sibes wrote:Hi!

Also, make sure the picture is of right size. Just follow the example of player pictures you have downloaded, or if you, like me, do not have any, go with the size of 180x180 pixels. That should fit in the frame. One more thing: remember to use the PNG format. JPG can also work, but I would go with the Wiki recommendation.sibes wrote:Hi!

I believe .png used to be the only supported format, but since then at some point support for .jpg was also added.

I feel super dumb. I downloaded the newest rosters, openeded them in Eastisde UK. Saved them. Put them in the data/database folder. Imported them. Started a new game. My newly created guy is not in the game.
I never had issues importing my databases before. What am I doing wrong?
edit: created guy has a 5000 reputation and is on an active North American team, born 12/13/2000.

The "extra young" players don't show up in-game now until they're 14...your player isn't 14 at startup, maybe that's why?konnan511 wrote:I feel super dumb.

Re: Official Pre Game Editor Thread. All questions here plea
Im very bad at this kind of stuff. So im reaching out for some help!
What im trying to do is to boost some players attributes. Just so that i can advance my Timrå IK to the swedish tier 1 league.
I've read, read and read tons of texts and guides trying to understand this updater program. But what i muster dont make any sense!
I dont understand a Ovechkin... Im so bad!
So what im asking for is someone able to tell me how (dummy-proof please) to do this. As far as i can tell it shouldnt be that hard for someone who knows this.
Thanks in advance

Re: Official Pre Game Editor Thread. All questions here plea
Yes, ive open the database and ive exported the "player attributes". First of all, when i open that file i cant all player there is (which makes me wonder if its done correctly from my side). But i found 1 player to enhace, which i did (atleast thats what i think i did). After this stage i dont know what to do... I imported/exported everything and start the game as admin etc etc..To start with, have you gotten your database to open in the editor?

Hi is there a way to add a team to a league?
I want to move a team from the NIHL to the EPL which would make it a ten team league. Failing that is it possible to swap one team from the NIHL for one in the EPL?

If it is a playable league then yo have to use the ones that comes with the game (or the 2006 rule set)lynx54321 wrote:Hi is there a way to add a team to a league?

Swapping teams in the editor won't matter with playable leagues as the game uses club-ID for selection. That is possible to do with the 2006 rule set, though

Ok thanks for the reply. How do I go about getting the 2006 rules into play then? I know I can start a new save with the 2006 database but I can't find a way to open that database up to edit with the editor.
EDIT: I've found out how to do that but I can only load North American, Finnish and Swedish leagues in game.

The plan is for improvement in this area (more playable Leagues, better editability) but it's not likely to happen in the near future
