Having multiple databases (EHM 2007 version 3.0.3)

Post by archibalduk »

In order to have multiple databases present in EHM 2007, you must first install patch 3.0.3. This patch will then give you the ability to have multiple databases present in EHM 2007. Once you have multiple databases present in EHM, each time you start a game you be given the opportunity to choose which database to use.

Here's some useful information from the guys at SI Games on how to have multiple databases:
SI Games wrote: A new option for custom databases has been added. You now don't need to overwrite the game's own database if you download any unofficial database updates, or edit your own database. Now, the game will allow you to select from a set of custom databases on startup, if they are in the correct place. They should be subfolders of the data/database directory. For example:

data/database --- the default database installed with the patch data/database/mydata --- your own edited database data/database/mydownloadeddata/ --- a database update you downloaded.

On PC, you can also put these databases in the user documents folder. By default, this would be My Documents/Sports Interactive/NHL EHM 2007/data/database/ - you can change this user data location in the game preferences screen if you want to.

The game will support a maximum of 20 custom databases.

As a result of the new database supplied with the patch, all current edited data will be lost - please make a backup if you want to keep your edited data! This new system will prevent the need for this hereafter, if you save your edited database in it's own folder.
