Editing Potential En Masse?

Post by ccmequip »

Hello,

Does anyone know if there's a way to edit a whole bunch of players' PA at the same time. For instance using the Attribute Editor?

Thanks

You answered your own question! If you use the version 0.4.0 of the EHM Updater (http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 8&start=25) it will allow you to edit "in mass" (you export/import a csv file but using "save as" you can do all your editing in excel if you like) - reading the ReadMe file that comes with the Updater should explain the details


Regards :-)

At some point down the line, I'll post some simple tutorials on how to make the most of the various export functions. But in the meantime, this may be of use:

You'll see when you load the Updater there are some export options. If you use the Export Player Attributes or Contract List options, it will generate a spreadsheet listing all players and their current team and league. You can then filter through the spreadsheet to find all players on a particular roster or all players playing in a particular league(s). You can then copy and paste the filtered list (ie player names and dates of birth) into your attribute_update.csv file - and then you can go through the players and enter the new PAs, etc that you want to assign.

Thanks a bunch for this. This really helped me to figure it out quickly! :-D

I'm having a bit of an issue though. When I tried changing the PA, it would just change the PAs to 0 when I verified it in the pre-game editor. I'm not sure what I did wrong. :-?

I only changed 12 players, to see if it would work. I got no errors in running the updater. Any ideas on what may have happened?
