Editing the salary cap
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

EHM Editor v2: Development thread
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.Filip Croatia wrote: Sun Apr 24, 2022 6:13 pm I downloaded latest version, open DB and changed Salary cap, but that doesn't show in the game.

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.Filip Croatia wrote: Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:49 pmOk thanks !And what I exactly need to do with extra_config.cfg file ? Delete it, copy - paste it or smth else ?

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