Manimal 2011/12 v4.0 Rosters Released

[archibalduk]

This is the news we have all been eagerly awaiting! I'm very pleased to say that the 2011/12 Manimal Rosters have now been released!

The Manimal Rosters update the EHM 2007 rosters for the 2011/12 season. This is the first release of the rosters that is designed to work with the Custom Start Date Patch. In order to get the most out of the rosters, you will need to use the CSD Patch.

Download the rosters here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =77&t=8690

In order to get your facepacks / player pictures to appear in game, you will need to use McQwak's Facepack DOB Updater to change the DOBs in your facepack filenames. The player DOBs now reflect their real life DOBs (as the CSD Patch allows us to get around the hardcoded 2006 start date) and so you will need to keep this in mind when updating the facepack DOBs.

A temporary readme.txt file has been included with the rosters in order to allow us to get the rosters uploaded as quickly as possible. A more detailed readme.txt file along with a full list of credits and thanks will be uploaded in the near future. In the mean time, enjoy EHM for another season!

Finally, I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Manimal. The amount of work and dedication he has shown over the past few years is incredible and we all owe him a huge debt. Updating the rosters involves a phenomenal amount of work and the EHM community is extremely lucky to have him. We are also very lucky to have a number of users who have put in a lot of work to help research the rosters. Thank you to you all. Once Manimal has posted a list of credits, I will award you some TBL Points in recognition of your work. Hats off to all of you.

I think it's quite accurate to say that this has to be the most exciting season yet for EHM since its release. Not only do we have a new set of rosters but we can also customise the start date and begin to add a whole host of new data (such as post 2005/06 season histories) which will help make the game even more enjoyable.

If you would like to say thanks to Manimal and his team of helpers, post in this thread (if you are viewing this post from the home page then click here to view the thread).

EDIT: For those of you unable to use the Custom Start Date Patch, you can download a version designed for the 2006 start date here.

Woohoo!!!

[archibalduk]

P.s. When will the 2012/13 v5.0 rosters be released?!!!

Perhaps we should award a prize to the first person who seriously asks this question!

[Reave]

Thank you Manimal and all of you that have helped out making this database/work with patch/everything!

I'm so excited over this!

[empach]

The timing of this couldn't be better! Thank you Manimal and everyone who contributed! It's all thanks to you that this game continues to be so addictive.
I only wish I could have contributed a little more to this release, well next time.

Haven't tried the CSD patch yet, very excited about that.

Manimal, and everyone who helped contribute to this DB... THANK YOU. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

A quick question. I have EHM 2007 on the Mac. Consequently, I cannot use the CSD Patch. However, I'd still love to use this DB with the DOBs date-shifted since at the very least I'll have the proper affiliations, staff, and updated player ratings (FINALLY, an accurate Keith Yandle!). Is there a way for me to date-shift the DOBs, or can you wonderful folks produce a non-CSD version of the DB for those of us who only have Mac licenses and cannot transition to PC-based gameplay?

Sorry if I sound selfish, but I truly appreciate the immense amount of work put into this DB and I think the best way (outside of money) to thank those who worked on it is to play it and enjoy it.

Thanks,
z

THanks Manimal. And I want the prize. So when will the 2012-13 Version 5.0 be coming out? Sheesh...get on it.

Archi--Please put my $100 gift card in the mail...I know it is on its way already.


Now seriously...if I can get this working I will be one happy bdiddydoo.
thanks Manimal

I think that's a very fair point. Manimal emailed to me a non-date shifted copy which I can upload this evening. I will just need to change back the DOBs and check the extra_config.cfg file.

I will write a script which will convert a "CSD database" for use with the hardcoded 2006 start date so that everybody can continue to enjoy the rosters (even with all of the new player career histories etc).

[archibalduk]

Archi--Please put my $100 gift card in the mail...I know it is on its way already.

I'm pretty sure I sent that back to you - so you can send it yourself...

Manimal - if you don't get your card from Batdad in the next 14 days then feel free to sue him!

Many thanks to you, Manimal, and to your team!

Great job!

Please help!

As a longtime ehm player I apreciate all that you guys do to keep the game relevant!

This start date and roster update has me digging out the ehm and looking forward to a long franchise session, yet nothing i do seems to make the start date patch work!

i have the latest patch and all the utilities the patch needs. The patch loads the game with no errors. The game starts... in 2006. I am definitely worried I will never get the thing to work and am reaching out to you wiser heads now. What am I doing wrong? I have followed the instructions to the letter and have the 3.0.4 version. What's going on?

That's because I haven't had lunch yet. Had to eat something, LOL.

Great job, everyone! This is certainly the best early Christmas present I've had in along time.

[archibalduk]

I have re-uploaded the hardcoded 2006 version of the rosters as I inadvertently forgot to change the DOBs back. For those without the CSD Patch here you go: https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?ci ... 29C5C5!431

Bless you, sir.

[WallyWallcakes]

With the updated player histories to go along with the new start dates, this is going to feel like a whole new game.

Great job men!
