EHM Editor v0.4.9 Released

Version 0.4.9 of the EHM Editor is now available to download HERE. I was planning on adding some more features before release but the UID bug identified by ideawithoutamind above added some urgency to this release. The bug relates to importing data using spreadsheets which wasn’t properly incrementing the UID tracker with each new item imported. So you’d end up with imported entries having duplicate UIDs. This bug is now fixed but you’ll need to use the UID Validator to repair any existing duplicates. Most of what is included with this release are feature requests from ideawithoutamind and xECK29x. There are additional requests which I...

EHM 2007 tools open source project

I am finally getting round to publishing the source code to all of my old EHM 2007 tools on GitHub. I do not expect that these will be of interest or use to anybody but I figured I’d upload them for posterity in any event. Many of these tools date back to when I was first learning how to code in C++, so the standard of coding and organisation is basic to say the least. They are, however, generally quite simple tools so the code should be easy to understand. Before anybody asks, unfortunately I cannot make any of my...

EHM Editor for Eastside Hockey Manager

EHM Editor v0.4.7 Released

Version 0.4.7 of the EHM Editor is now available to download HERE. This is largely a hotfix to address a crash when importing player career history into a database which already has a large number of history entries (around 350,000+ entries) but also includes various other fixes as well as the ability to export selected players/non-players to a research spreadsheet. CHANGELIST: VERSION 0.4.7 (20-December-2020) IMPORTANT! The Editor is now a 64-bit application and is now built using Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2019. Consequently you must now install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Redistributable before you attempt to run the Editor otherwise it will crash. You...
