Hi I am new here but I've been playing EHM for years now. I was just curious as to how long it usually takes until someone creates an updated roster file?

Not trying to rush anyone

Just curious is all.

Thanks.

The main steps being that Neil has to fiirst get his editor to work with the new database, then the work has to be done to rework the database so that depends on who is doing the work, how much they decide to tackle at once (as releasing a database in segments isn't practical as people need to start new games to use a new database) and how much if any testing they decide to do...

So the answer is.... Iyunno

But welcome to TBL!

Sorry for this n00b thread, but can I download an current up to date roster somewhere?

Because it sucks that Chistov is still on the Ducks etc. Or should I wait for the next patch? Does someone know how long it takes for the release? I also hope version 1.1 of the unfaking DB will come out soon...

As far as I know there won't be updates to the database made with the upcoming patch.

So, what can I do then? No single rosters for download somewhere?

You can download the ehum... file in the downloads section called config-update or something, that makes Chistov move to Bruins.

Great. Thanks man. Are you going to make more roster updates in the future?

Yeah, I 'll try to do a new one every other week or so if there are any notable trades going on.

Is there any chance that you can release a roster update soon? I want to start a new game with the new patch...

I can't download the unofficial Patch 3.0.3

It took a long time for me to download the patch, just keep trying.

I also had the same problem, and a few times the download would stop completely (although I think my internet had something to do with it as well).

But I ended up getting the patch from the Eastside UK site, and the patch downloaded in 2 minutes. But I just checked the site and I guess they have exceeded their bandwidth so the site is down.

Honnegger · Post by **Honnegger** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 7:27 pm

Is there also a roster update in the Database Patch, or is it just for the Salary Corrections?

BTW: I can't download it either, the error says that the file is no longer available...

We have the patch in both versions available here at TBL and we don't get shutdown for bandwith

And to answer other questions, yes the patch has an updated database in it so make a copy of your current database if you want to keep any editing that has been done to it. Keep in mind it's still a game designed to start in the summer of 2007 so the rosters are fixed at that point. The updates over the initial EHM 07 database resolve reported issue as well as add more players to the game in an 'unfaked' state than they were allowed to at initial release due to liscensing.

The 3.0.3 patch is also the only one you'll need even if you are updating directly from the release version. It contains the changes made in 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 so there is no need to run all the patches in order. Everyone can run the 3.0.3 patch to update their game no matter what other patches you have run.

I must say, I'm extremely confused as to how to install that extra config file... I too am would like to have Chistov on the Bruins (impossible to trade for him).

Post by **Minstrel** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 8:37 am

All you need to do is copy the file into your database folder to use it instead of the default version that comes with the game. Then, start a new game and you should be all set.

nepg · Post by **nepg** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 9:53 am

so just change the name of the file to extra config.cfg?

negatory.

download the extra config update - RIGHT HERE
Once downloaded, copy that file into your C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007\data\database folder. You'll be asked if you want to overwrite a file, click yes.

Start a new game. Boom. Bam. That's it. I'm out.

peace.

nepg · Post by **nepg** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 10:16 am

never asks me if it's ok to overwrite a file...

nepg wrote:never asks me if it's ok to overwrite a file...

do you want the config update or the corrected database?

The corrected database is here.

If you download that, you can replace EVERY file in your DB folder. That should get your rosters up to date.

if that's even what you're looking for...

nepg · Post by **nepg** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 6:48 pm

I just wanted the extra config update. When I download the file, the file is called "Extra". Not sure if I need to change the name of that file...

nepg · Post by **nepg** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 7:11 pm

Well the corrected database installed, but Chistov is still on the Ducks.

Joe · Post by **Joe** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 4:22 pm

I think this will sort out the confusion...

This file will have Chistov on the correct team.

This file will not, but I think more importantly is that it fix's McCabe's Salary.
