Date of Birth Error

Post by RoenickUK »

Hmmm I wonder if anyone can explain this one....... :-?

I've recently DL some of the Skins, Skin Elements, Logo's & Lidas Rosters 2010/11 v3.1 and they all work fine, so next I thought id like the profile pictures (as the default ones didnt seem to work)

So I Downloaded the player pictures from here -> http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 76&t=6629I (As I didnt want the trading card look & it was the most recent (full) profile picture file i could find) & copied the folder across, I'd already read all about the game accepting file formats in EHG, PNG & JPG...but still they wouldnt work!,

This was really annoying ](*,) me as I was in the right directory, I happened upon another forum :-o explaining the format, profile pictures need to be in...Eg (1st Name_Surname_31_5_1984) In order to work, while trying to "google" an aswer to my problem.

This got me thinking again as i couldnt explain why on earth they were not showing/loading in game. On investigation, I noticed while focusing on 1 player (Corey Crawford) that the game database (Lindas v3.1) has his D.o.B as 31/01/1980 when his actual D.o.B is 31/01/1984, i thought this might just be a single incident so i checked Tim Thomas & Ryan Geztlaf & they were also 4yrs older in the game than in real life?...Ofc as soon as i change the crawford file to Corey_Crawford_31_01_1980 & reloaded my saved game up it came.

So why would my/the database be 4yrs out on D.o.B's?

Any explainations?

EHM is locked at a 2006 start date, so roster updates need to fake player birth dates in order to get them to the proper age. Otherwise, a prospect who is playing at 18 this season, and thus in the updated roster, would actually be 13 in the game if his birth date wasn't changed.

I'm not quite sure where it is, or if it works, but I believe we have a tool around here somewhere that edits these facepack filenames for you.

Before you fry your brain with all that editing, hopefully Archi, or another mod/admin could shed some light on where that is.
