EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor v1: BUG REPORTS & FEATURE REQUESTS

[szczepek25]

How look finalising database? Do you still have a lot of work?

[adawxawx]

If you are loading a .db file then this is in EHM 1 format and there is no need to save as EHM 2007 format. Just save it as EHM 1 format and start a new game.

Ah, I was trying to do batch editing. Guess I can't do that because I can't use the older ehm editor (which can do batch editing but needs 07 format). too bad.

[Alessandro]

Btw archi, have you ever tried going from EHM 1 file to EHM 2007? If I try to do that way, then I get an access violation error trying to load the "new" 07 db in 07 editor

[archibalduk]

The Editor isn't designed to convert between EHM 2007 and 1. I need to disable the option in the Editor. Only conversion between 2004/05/07 is/will be possible.

[Alessandro]

Archi - any chance the editor can use month "numbers" and not names for csv output schedule files? When I get files from Named, for example, I get names in his language's month, and I have to recreate the file row-by-row to correct the correct month and put it in my system's language.

[archibalduk]

Ok I'll take a look - it'll really depend on how much sense it makes to have month numbers in that context (because they appear both in the Editor and the csv file). An alternative option would be to force English month names.

Can work... the thing is that we need a one-siz-fits-all solution, because otherwise that function is unuseful.

Would you like to try and explain better? I don't understand. Unfortunately I don't know Hungarian language, so we have to stick to English.

Hey, I used to make databases with 200 PA (to have more obscure country and more random players become good), I changed all the PA of the players to 200 but since the new EHM I have struggled with it. I made it work with the original database because it was 07 compatible but when I tried to load it up the roles were all wrong (all defensemen were offensive dmen for example) I guess it's due to the early patches that introduced new roles. Could anyone tell me how to make a new db where every single player in the world has 200 PA?

When moving players from another team to my team i can not submit new numbers for them and i can still approach to buy. I edited a savefile if that matters

Editing a player in the EHM 2007 Pre-Game Editor causes the Player Role to be reset. It isn't compatible with them unfortunately. You'd have to back them up using the 2007 Updater, make your changes and then re-import.

Players/staff cannot be moved in saved games. It doesn't work.

[archibalduk]

Progress is going really well with the new version of the Editor. It includes the key updater import spreadsheets (staff/players, player career history and clubs), runtime data calculation and high resolution display support. Some further tweaking, testing and minor bug fixing needs to be done and then I'll upload the next release. I'm away for about ten days this month, but I hope to have it released before May.

[archibalduk]

I'm working my way through the various bugs reported since the release of 0.1.7 in February. Here are my responses/updates to the following reports. If I haven't included your report below then it's because I'm still working on it (rather than me ignoring any):

I'm having a problem creating new teams; whenever I make a new team and try to save the editor crashes and when I reload it the finance info, rules & structures, ruling bodies, schedule templates, and transfer rules tabs are all blank.(The created team does show up, but I'm sure the database is now unplayable.)
I can create a new league without any problems though.
Should I just use EHM 2007 pre-game editor to add all the teams?
(Sorry if this has already been brought up/solved I only briefly skimmed the other pages.)

I have not been able to repeat this issue. If it is still an issue with the next release (version 0.1.8) then please post some detailed steps on how to reproduce the issue. I recall Javs mentioned the same issue for version 0.1.5 which may have related to a fairly significant clubs bug which I fixed for version 0.1.7 - so it might be that the issue above is fixed.

How can I change the players budget of the teams? No matter what I type, it does not change.

And in general, why were the team reputations increased? Did the Community agree on a specific area with the individual leagues? In Germany DEL the lowest is 5000.

Unfortunately, I have been a while out of the community and have not noticed everything.

Editing club budgets works for me. I have only tested when disabling the financial adjustments setting when starting a new game. I did however notice that the exchange rate is out of date - but you'll see the figures match if you use US Dollars in game.

Archi, I'm not sure if this is a problem of the editor or the game (I think the latter, but I prefer asking). If you change a team's status fro Junior to Professional, for example, the DB saves it (close and reload show updated information), but the game does not retain the new status. I have screenshots if it's not clear.
Can you have a look?

I tried a couple of teams in the UK and the settings worked fine. I'd suggest reporting any specific instances of this to Riz as it is likely a game issue.

Archi - "Club limited to use natural domestic players only" in extra rules should not be a true/false, but it should be able to read the team unique ID

Fixed.

Since then, I tried myself, and everything seemed to working fine. Now, we have three options. 1) I was drunk 2) it was a combo 3) game issue. We can't rule out anyone of them (especially the first lol, but please no literally drunk, I dont drink) so I guess I'll run another share of thesting with this over the summer.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I've edited the NHL awards to go as far back as possible for most awards, including adding people where applicable, for example Dominik Hasek. However, two things happen when I start a new game. 1. The awards only show up to 1986, nothing prior, and when I click on the people I've created, like Hasek, the game crashes. Any ideas on how to get around either of these two issues in the game editor.
Thanks

I think this is a part game bug and part Editor bug. As far as I can tell, the game doesn't seem to show award histories where the winner does not exist in the database. This is weird because I thought it used to - it's just that the name displayed wasn't clickable.

The Editor however is creating duplicates of names where it shouldn't and so I'll fix that. There's an additional issue in that it seems if you add a name via the Awards History it won't be assigned a nationality. This is to be expected because it is just adding the name for the purposes of the history. However, it seems the game will crash if a name without a nationality is used in the Award History. So I think I'll need to add some sort of prompt which asks you to set a nationality for any name you enter which does not have one.

Ha! Don't let Tasku hear that!

I think I've fixed the Editor-side of the issue but it'll need some further testing when I release the next version.

Is it possible to add injuries to players or maybe any plans to implement?

[archibalduk]

Injuries are added via the extra_config.cfg file. See the default extra_config.cfg file that comes with the game (in the Database folder).

It isn't possible to edit injuries in saved games (and no plans to add this).

[The Worker]

sweet, didn't notice it

[BulldogsFan]

with the ehm editor save database one... when i load up my save file is it possible to edit my save file draft picks since 9.4 roster file is on steam

[Townsy17]

Hi, just a quick question. Using the TBL 9.1 Rosters, I tried adding a bunch of the top rookies from the OHL draft so they would be in the game. Originally, I only added Suzuki and created a new game just to see if it would work, which it did. Then, I added a few more players, edited some attributes for other players, and updated the draft history of a few players drafted last year. However, upon doing so, I went to start a new game and got this fatal error: v1.4.1 select_leagues_screen.cpp 114 - I don't know whether it was updating the draft histories that did it, but for some reason it won't work anymore. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

[xECK29x]

I am hoping someone can help me troubleshoot an issue I have ran into with the roster I have been working on. I would love to not have to start over...shame on me for not making more frequent backups. I must have made a change somewhere that is causing EHM to panic on loading a new game. The error I am receiving is 'v1.4.1 select_leagues_screen.cpp 114', I know the players I recently edited and will go back and look at them but I see no obvious errors in the editor. When I swap my current database.db with another database.db from a backup the rosters load fine so I know its not an extra_config.dat issue or something.

Wondering is anyone had any idea about that error message or what it could be referencing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If someone wants the database to look at I can provide it.

Thanks
