Not getting tracked on my game. I have made about 20 trades/waiver pickups, so there should be plenty in Player in and Out, however nothing is shown.

Actually, for the first season, there is some tracked, but after that, nothing. Without using the database, it works fine.

Ah thanks, I extracted it just as instructed into the database, and got all the .dat files, but was never presented with an option to choose which database. Oh well, it was worth a try. If you have a suggestion let me know.

Have you patched the game to v 3.0.4?

It's just a question, i know the roster of the CHL arn't done yet. But we do start with very few players at the first season and it's the samething at the second season (we can see that in the QHJML). After a couple of seasons, is it more balance with the Lidas roster 1.0.

[Note: i ain't complaining, just a question]

Post by **batdad** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 6:18 pm

Don't know...not sure if the research is done. But when it is I assume each team in the CHL will have full rosters. Lots of guys to create to get to that point though.

Post by **Manimal** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 9:01 pm

I've done the research for the OHL. All players from this season is in it. Lidas will create them when he has the time (maybe he already has)

Honnegger · Post by **Honnegger** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 12:36 pm

Quick question, I hope that you don't get mad because of this, but do you have an idea when the next update of your awesome roster will be released?

Just wanna know it, take your time dude! Thanks for doing this whole thing!

I'm just about to start on it... I did a couple of side-projects, but now I'm back to OHL.

Lidas, can you give an idea of what leagues have been updated so far? and which ones you want to try and update between now and the next release? I am only curious to know so Ican decide if I am going to use the next version, or if I want to keep editing this first version.

Yeah sure, I can understand that. Sounds great! Keep the great work up man!

Lidas, you wrote that you had changed the attributes in the OHL. You mean the abilities, right? 'Cause I haven't done anything with the attributes

What 2010?

selne · Post by **selne** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 12:11 am

I think what ehmfans suggested was to implement a staff page for the human GM in the database
just like for the other staff in the game.
That way he could edit his own human GM profile by adding likes/dislikes with the pre game editor.

And he asked if that could be realized in another version of Lidas roster, maybe 2010.

selne · Post by **selne** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 12:25 am

I will try to answer my speculation on ehmfans' request.

When you start a new franchise the game creates a new staff profile for your human GM.
You can't create it a prior to the start in the database.
You can take a look at your profile with the saved game editor but i'm not sure if likes/dislikes can be edited then.

What have you done here? The salary cap in the gane is lower than IRL. Have you adjusted contracts accordingly? It would be a LOT of work to do every player

I thought you couldn't do that

Post by **batdad** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 3:23 am

Yeah you can edit the cap. We did for the TBL updates too!

. What he means is for guys like Paul Stastny they will not have their extensions in the game at this time, that they received this year. So that the salary they get paid this season (the last year of the original deal they had) is still their cap hit. If he were to add in the extensions, the cap hits would go up tremendously...from about 1 million to 6 million in Stastny's case.

What that means is that for the 2nd year in the game Stastny will be RFA unless you sign him mid season, etc.
