This East West thing, will that work for a two conference or division league?
If so I might try to get that to work and leave two of the divisions for later.

Eagerly looking forward to 1.4

Moving teams correctly between East, West, North, South is not much important if You can activate Swedish First Division. Would You try to run other model of this league? I thought You have previously problem with number of teams? But it was just news bug?

Hi,

Using the east west thing I now can use from database team draw. That is, promotion relegation should probably work.
Need to verify that.

Using the above I can probably get a working hesw. Doing all of he will still most likely trigger bug.
The news item thing is followed by a crash. Just fyi named.

After many many tests and sims I have modeled IRL Czech Second Division level as playable but after creating new season seems we have problem. There are divisional model and seems when we use schedule templates after season we have promoted/relegated teams they didnt replaced in schedule template and leagues . andda715: I see You also used schedule template for Swedish First Division. Have You done and progress? I'm curious any of team were replaced in schedule template on new season starts.

Hi Named,

Yes, when using team picking rules from division and or from division I have not been able to get promotion or relegation to work. (still can't reply to pm)

See Riz' explanation above.

Using QMJHL template as it is very similar I created another playable junior league in game. This time Czech top junior level DHL League. If someone is interested i put some screens.

Cool! I would like to do similar with Swedish SuperElit (J20), care to share the db for comparison or inspiration?

Sure. On the morning I will upload

Thanks, tried similar settings but seems as teams don't sign any players. Maybe this is what Riz meant by it not being implemented? Do teams in your league sign free agents on their own?

(European) Junior teams don't sign any player at all.
Need to wait for 1.4

Anyone managed to get a bronze medal game going with two conferences?

Good to know, thanks.

And by that I mean the promotion/relegation won't work as it doesn't know which nation Jnr finish positions from last year it needs to look at for these additional levels. I'll try and add some code for 1.4 to support these.

Also, the additional WJC division levels won't be able to do promotion/relegation if you try and set the U20 national teams to the right level using by setting their divisions manually. You'll need to use the last Jnr position in the nation record to define what level they should play in the World Champs system. With that field you can already change who plays in the default playable WJC levels but for any additional ones you'll need the 1.4 update as it needs some code changes to be able to pick those levels up from the nation data.

I saw that 1.4 update is now realsed. So have you been able to fix the problem?

I think its fixed. Try it:

Other changes:
- Added support for custom databases that add extra playable World Junior Championship levels to make promotion/relegation work correctly

Archi, when a new version with new flags?

What's the best since 1.4 is out with our modified database? Continue on it or start freshly a new one with all the new rules added by the 1.4 and import one by one all the leagues we have made playable to it?

Alessandro wrote:Archi, when a new version with new flags?

I'll be releasing a new version once I have finished adding everything I want and I am happy that I have tested it sufficiently.

If you need the new flags in the meantime, you can open the relevant text file in the "common" sub-folder in the EHM Editor folder and add the flags yourself. The flag values are listed in the patch changelist. There's also a "_readme.txt" file in the "common" sub-folder which explains how the files work (but it should be fairly self-explanatory if you open up the relevant text file).

I think the best will be import next release db (will be soon) and after archi release import/export option in editor import created leagues from Your current db.

I have released a new version of the Editor here (version 0.1.5): http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/editor/

The full changelist can be found in the above link. However, I thought I'd briefly mention the Rules & Structures import/export function. You'll find the Import and Export buttons at the bottom of the Rules & Structures editing screen. To export, click on Export Data -> Export as *.ehm file. The will create an *.ehm file which you can then import into another database via the Import Data button.

Please keep in mind that the function is very basic right now and needs testing (I have successfully tested using my own structures and also BKarchitect's USHL structure). All it does is import the relevant Rules & Structure data (including Finance Rules, Ruling Body, Schedule Templates and Transfer Rules). It does not update any teams' competition data or add any missing teams or competitions. For example, if the Rules & Structure relates to a newly created competition or teams, you'll need to manually create those items and set them up manually. I will make the function more intelligent with time but I want to start basic and build from that. I have tried to make the file format as comprehensive as possible so that *.ehm files created now will hopefully be compatible with future versions of the function (e.g. the *.ehm file already exports all linked club, competition and arena data).

I agree Alessandro...thanks for all your efforts Arch

Haven't made any progress on hockeyettan or superelit as I see a crash after simming a few days with the database.
Bug reported and save uploaded at sigames.

I have tried to find were I can set this last jnr postion, but have,nt find a way to do it correctly. Cause when you look att every national jnr team, all of them has 0 as their last position.

Hi,

Had a strange crash on my old db, so scrapped that one and re-imported a fresh 9.0b version using ehm 1.4.
Seems to work fine.

I have now verified that the original bug with too many teams is indeed fixed by Riz.

In the db below I have preliminary versions of HockeyEttan (four divisions) and J20 SuperElit (two divisions) but it looks like stage1 never receives any playoff teams. Really weird. Something you guys have seen as well?

DB:

Nevermind, forgot to set max league games in competition rules...

Hi guys in next update EHM roster please add playable Polish elite league this is important for me
