Not a huge thing for me personally, just wanted to let you know in case anyone else has the same problem.

Leave it with me. I will add something to the Editor which should force it to check the "platforms" folder (even though it should anyway). I should have it released this weekend.

EDIT: I think I have found the cause. It seems certain additional DLLs ought to have been included with the Editor. I'll these to the next version this weekend.

• Fixed in-game crash caused by an error with the Clubs Validation setting (any corrupted databases can be repaired by loading and saving the database in this new version of the Editor);
• Fixed the default Team Picking Rules setting when creating a new stage in the Rules and Structure screen; and
• Forced a new version of the settings in the "common" folder.

• Not all of the Club Competition Basic Rules data is entirely user-friendly at this stage;
• EHM 2004-2007 support not fully operational;
• Not all data can be added or deleted yet (an error message will be displayed where this is not possible);
• Clicking on the Cancel button when viewing the Open Database/Saved Game dialog will disable the Open buttons, requiring a restart of the Editor;
• The mouse cursor does not change when hovering over certain editing fields which makes certain tasks, such as editing Club Contracted/Playing For, not immediately obvious (the field should be clicked on in order to display the selection dialog window);
• The improved table display has not yet been rolled out to all tables/screens;
• Table column widths have not yet been set (and will frequently appear too narrow/small);
• Certain icons could be improved/replaced;
• Drop-down menus are all sorted alphabetically which is not always appropriate;
• Set a non-player's Nation Contract is completely untested and may cause a crash;
• Altered club competition names do not carry across the various editing screens;
• Only csv/txt/xml file formats are supported at the moment; and
• The default file format and editor text settings do not currently work.

• Added bitmask override to every bitmask editor so that combinations of values can be quickly entered;
• Added League Win Pct Type definition on the Comp Rules tab of the Rules & Structures editing screen;
• Added missing Continental Licence definition which was resulting in the drop-down menu on the Clubs editing screen not functioning as expected;
• Adding a new conference on the Structure tab of the Rules & Structure screen now automatically adds a new division to that conference;
• Adding new items now results in the Editor automatically showing the new record;
• Adding and removing items correctly updates the highlighting in the left-hand navigation menu;
• All clubs from a league or detailed division can be quickly added via the Populate button on the Structure tab of the Rules & Structures screen;
• Each editing screen now defaults to the first record in the left-hand navigation menu;
• Fixed day editing in the Schedule Dates table;
• Fixed Schedule Dates importing where certain text was not correctly imported (such as Arena Rules);
• Item navigation buttons added to the lower section of each editing screen;
• Stage indexes displayed in the Rules & Structure editing screens are now displayed in a more user-friendly format (0 = no stage, 1 = stage 1, etc); and
• The record navigator now jumps to the latest item when adding a new item via the Add button (e.g. when adding a new conference).

IRL there were A,B,C licenses, dunno that those lower A,B,C mean. Strangely I cannot see any license awarded for any club in editor.
Does that reset means there are predetermined (hardcoded) clubs getting spots to CHL or still there are rules like best clubs of specific competions (but not KHL) getting spots (under B and C licenses at least)?

It saves the name, but doesn't save other information...
Any advice?

I know you have a of features up-coming as you get time to implement them for the EHM 1 Editor!

Also wondering if an EHM 1 Updater will ever be a "thing" or does that only work because of the .dat files of EHM 07? So much easier to do mass player editing and such in spreadsheet format.

Where are you getting that error? In the Editor or the game?

Player rights are on the to do list. They'll appear as a sub-screen/tab of the Players & Staff section once editable.

The Editor will eventually have all of the Updater-type functions added (so it'll just be one Editor program rather than there being a separate Updater). I'll be looking at the Updater side of things once I have all editing screens added (I'm nearly there now).
