EHM 2007 Pre-Game Database Editor

intcountzero · Post by **intcountzero** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 5:24 am

So I copied the 'database' to another area outside the install area. Loaded and made changes using v1.7 of the UK Edit tool. Confirmed. Saved. Exited. Copied everything back. Still no change.

I managed to open one of the files for 'clubs' and did a find on Winnipeg Jets, since that is one of my changes (replaced Thrasher for Jets). It appears to be in the file, so as far as I can see the Editor is doing it's job. Somehow EHM is not reading the data. It's almost as if it's reading from a cache somewhere. Is this possible? Or maybe a tmp area. A

Anyone have any ideas?

Are you running the game and the Editor with the Run As Admin option? You should always do that.

You should also go to C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\EHM 2007\ and check whether there is a data sub-folder there. If there is, delete it.

Couple of questions:

I just grabbed the new 5.1 DB. When I start up as the islanders (because I'm a masochist) both Brad Boyes and Radek Martinek are out on IR for several months. I looked in Extra_Config, and saw Martinek is "INJURY" "Radek" "Martínek" "" "PERMANENT_CONCUSSION_3" -10, but Boyes isn't listed at all in there. I would like them to both be not injured for the start of the season. How do I achieve this?

Also, I created Doug Holewa as an assistant coach for the Sound Tigers. He is a conditioning coach. I checked the 'Coaching Technique' rating for other coaches who are listed in game as conditioning based, but they are all 0, no matter what type of coach. What is the setting to get him to be conditioning based?

Also, after I created him and had him contracted to Bridgeport, and he showed up in the Staff list. I went back to the editor, and edited Len DiCostanzo has a Physio and set his contract to Bridgeport. He shows up, but now Holewa is no longer on the team, but is available as an unemployed coach.

How can I remedy that?

I also have to go through Cap Geek to check the 2-way status of some of the players assigned to Bridgeport. Niether goalie, Poulin or Nilsson, show up in game as being on a 2-way, but I know how to fix that with editing current reputation.

We missed removing Martineks injury. For Boyes, that is just bad luck. The game creates some injuries at random when the game starts.
If a coach is at 0, then they get random coaching technique.
I can't remember if it was high or low value in coaching technique that sets it. Also have high discipline for a conditional coach.

I've never bothered with reputation for two-way contracts. Do you know what the limit is for it to be a two-way?

I know the answer is in this forum someplace. I found it back a few months ago. I think it was adjusting player rep down to 90, but I'd have to search to find it again.

It wasn't 100% accurate, but it was close enough to make the difference for a low budget team like the Isles.

[i]Are you running the game and the Editor with the Run As Admin option? You should always do that.[/i]Absolutely. Also running it in Windows XP

SP3 compatibility mode.

No data sub-folder, but there is a prefs and temp folder. The latter folder has nothing in it. Prefs does have 3 cfg files in it - game, keyboard, last_game. My guess is that these have no impact.

Wow...I'm a goof. Here I was making sure the UK Editor was running in compatibility mode and as the Admin, I neglected to do the same for EHM. It makes sense. EHM needs to read/write, so it needs to do the same. Man...Windows 8 is really starting to get on my nerves.

Thank you guys for your help.

Just wondering what the club and league stats are used for in the editor?

What are you refering to when you say "stats"?

The ones that are under the player info tab.

Post by **nino33** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 1:15 am

Ahhh...the stats affect things like rookie eligibility, RFA/UFA eligibility, some player records and eligibility for the NCAA

There's a lot more about the Player Info tab in this thread http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... r+info+tab and in this thread http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... r+info+tab

I have a major problems with de Pre-game editor : I can't load or edit any database. The button "Load database" just does'nt appears. Also, i've try to create a file named "NHL eastside hockey manager 2007data'' and copy&pass database information there. Then I was able to load it (File/Load), but i'm not able to edit anything since I can see the "confirm'' button. It seem like the window is to small and that all the information does'nt entirely appears. Did anyone else get this problem or know how to fix that? I'm sorry, i'm a noob and my english is bad.

You can look at the two ''printscreen'' here, it will show what i'm trying to explain. I'm using Windows 7 but i'm running the editor in XP SP3 compatibility, also running it as administrator.

Thanks in advance.

is it possible to edit the staff award section in the pre-game editor without problems for the game?

Hi, how can I create myself in NHL eastside manager? I have also pregame editor, I loaded my database but when I created myself than the programe wrote me that the date is valid. Where is the problem?

Could anybody post the video manual on youtube, please? Because I ´ve been completely lost and I also have save editor, but there cannot change any name of players or attributies but only the salary cup.
This is the problem I´ve had.: 1.2. 1990 is not a valid date , btw I´d like to put the photo of this problem but I don´t have how.

You might want to start by modifying an existing player in game so that you can get used to editing the game. Once you get a feel for how it works, you should be able to create a new player no problem.

As far as I'm aware, there aren't any tutorials on Youtube on how to use the Editor. It's just a case of looking at an existing player and seeing how they look.

My question is, i want to play old school and play from the 2006-2007 season but i want to put all of my teams draft picks into the game... The question is

If i put in the staff attributes for the players and the CA and PA that the updated roster has but leave the stats as 0 because most of them might be 14-16 yr olds and such it wont make them crazy good by the time they are 18 will it?

Please could you post a screenshot showing the error and what you are trying to edit?

This is pretty much what the UUDB Project was all about. I highly recommend taking their DB as a starting point: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =77&t=8241

I wouldn't copy the CAs from the updated roster because otherwise the players will be far too good for their age. The CA is the overall rating for the player at a specific moment in time. If you give their current CA to their 2006 versions then they'll be way overrated and will become superstars. Just copy over the PAs.
