Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
I think I found a bug.
I create MHL All-Star game... I can't get it to appear in the game. So I add both teams to league structure, but I can't get it to save. I populate the league with the editor command, save. If I reload, there is no structure.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
Could you upload the affected DB please? I'll see if I can figure it out.

I tried once again, and it keeps on not working. Not sure if it's my fault, maybe I missed a step, but in other comps it worked like a charm (watch Russian junior national hockey league)

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
Thanks! 
This is a bug with the Editor. Where the competition does not have any Conference added via the Structure tab, the list of clubs shown is actually from the competition you most recently viewed in the Editor. E.g. if you click on the AHL and then click on the MHL All-Stars you'll see that the AHL details are still shown. So any changes you make will actually affect the AHL.
I hadn't appreciated that the all-star competitions didn't have any Conferences (I thought every competition had to have at least one Conference and one Division).
I'll fix this for the next version.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
How do you delete one club? I add 2 of the same clubs. How do you get rid of one?:

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
I'm afraid clubs cannot be deleted yet. You could rename one of them and make them defunct/inactive.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
Can I ask a really quick question regarding something? Does the game need the drafts? For example, say I was to delete the NHL entry draft, would that be problematic and cause the game to crash? Just wondered

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
my game stopped working after latest update so I can't play the game
error message: FIXTURE_MANAGER::load_check_fixture_legs()
hoping someone can help i'm not spending another 60 hours getting to where i'm at in game to get a pants message like this while loading the saved file. All I did was after the 1.4 update go onto datsyuk to change his home reputation up to make him consider playing another year.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
Hey archi - I've got some weird issues with veteran players showing up as rookies even though their NHL career history shows otherwise. Riz said it was "recalculate runtime data" needed to be run upon import but obviously I'm now completely in EHM 1 format with my db and this is not possible. He says the official editor will do this whenever it comes out but was just curious if there was a function in the EHM 1 editor right now or maybe will be that allows for this runtime info to be up-to-date?

No I'm afraid not. The saved game handles affiliations differently to databases.plaaplaa72 wrote:Can i add new affiliations in the middle of a saved game?

I'll add it very soon.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
I have released a new version of the Editor here (version 0.1.5): http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/editor/
I've posted the full changelist below, but the most notable features are:
- New data items can be added to every table in the database;
- Rules & Structures can be transferred from one database to another (but note that it is very basic right now);
- EHM 2005 to EHM 2007 conversion (it appears stable with the NHL but there are a couple of issues relating to the number of teams in the AHL and ECHL which I have not yet figured out); and
- XLSX Excel spreadsheet format support.
Please read the known limitations set out below as there are a couple of issues I need to work on further.
