Since the Assistant no longer work. Is there a way to change the salary cap now?
I wanted to change it back after the 20-21 season was done

The Editor v2 doesn't yet have the ability to save any edits to the database. You'll need to use Editor v1 to make any edits to the database. You should also check the extra_config.cfg file when editing the salary cap.

Apologies - I mean transfer_rules_config.cfg. If you take a look in this file, you might find that a salary cap has been set for the NHL. If there isn't any such file for the DB in question then you don't need to worry and you can just set the cap via the DB in Editor v1 instead.

And how I can look into that file ? Sorry, for asking stupid questions, but I am really not that into editing side of things when it comes to the EHM :oops:

You can just open it in Notepad. It's just a plain text file.

You can type it anywhere in the file. It doesn't matter where. So you just enter something like this:

Code: Select all

"SALARY_CAP" "National Hockey League" 99000000
Do not include a "#" at the beginning of the line as this indicates a comment. So do it without a "#".
