Figured as much, how bout a way to overwrite or delete Club Comp records?

Records are in the record_config file. I have never tried to change anything

*** Just searched and found this;
Hey SkateLine, the way to edit the team's (and leagues history), is not through the editor. But if you go to your main EHM directory: Sports Interactive\NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007\data\database and choose the database you are using, open up the "record_config" file. If you can't open it, right click and click "open as..." and just select notepad or wordpad or something.

The question is when I attempt to open record_config.dat - It tells me i cannot open a dat file and opens a windows search file for .dat. (smile) what program am I missing to see .dat files ?

Hey moore. Welcome back to TBL!

The record_config.cfg file can be opened in Notepad. If you're having difficulties then change the file extension .txt and then change it back to .cfg once you have finished. The record_config.cfg doesn't store team and league history, it stores player and team records (e.g. most PIM, goals, etc).

The team and league histories are stored in the various club and comp .dat files. The data in these files is stored as hexadecimal and cannot be opened in Notepad. Instead, you would have to write you own software to edit the data (using the EHM 2007 database structure which I will upload shortly) or by opening the data in a hex editor such as HxD (but you will need to have an understanding of hex and a basic understanding of relational databases). With regards to hex editing, there are some tutorials from Hobbit13 here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =13&t=8160

Thanks Archibalduk - both for the warm greeting and the info. I quickly realize I'm WAY over my head here...

Quick explanation of what I was thinking, using the original 3.0.4 version w/o addons I started the NY Islanders franchise 06-07 season. Now I got Eric Brewer back and he quickly piled up points, I started getting messages that 54 points was a new record for defensemen etc. I KNOW Denis Potvin had +100 pts in 79-80 season and it shows Mike Bossy having 122pts in 82-83 (I think) But it doesnt register with the game.. (deep breath) Now I'm s u r e this has been exaustively talked about and dealt with - The above post was all I could find, and your explanation sort of answers my question... I WAS hoping the answer would be more like " just D/L Lidas' D/B version # and all would be fixed..." LOL. If hexadecimal ethyl methyl bad stuff is what I have to deal with - methinks I'm too old and cranky to be patient enough to learn it in a reasonable timeframe. Instead I can quickly learn to ignore these arcane messages instead!

Thank you for your time and consideration for answering my questions.

For all my years playing I remember seeing the most goals, assists and points in team history stand (All the time I had Leaf player break 50, but NOT 54...it seemed Rick Vaive's record is meant to stand ), but as far as the breakdown of points by position, I think 'refreshes' them for game play. I know I've had Sundin as the record holder with a post 06-07 season even though he really wasn't the record holder at that point.
