Editing league rules and structures in EHM 1

[Alessandro]

No I'm afraid I cannot understand what you mean. Can you post what exactly you did (step by step)?

Competitions > Transfer rules.
Add item (but I think we have the same glitch with existing items). Extra rules, you'll get an empty screen. If you add one value, it works no problem (being it true/false or a number/date). Then, add a second record. It'll "overwrite" the first one. It can be kind of solved if you add 5-6 records and edit them as they tend to "overwrite", and change the "ID" for the first two

Mamonty's GM: it's a conspiracy!!

Could it be that the teams are actually sorted by the number of wins, despite what is shown in the league table?

[Tasku]

I've seen this bug on my regular NHL game, but the right teams reached playoffs despite the "Po"-sign being in the wrong place.

Yes, I think that is the problem. Now, fixing it is another thing...

I still cannot repeat this issue. Here is what I have been trying:

1. Competitions -> Transfer Rules screen.
2. Click the Add Item button to create a new Transfer Rules entry.
3. Go the Extra Rules tab.
4. Click on Add Item to add a new Extra Rule. Set some random rule and value.
5. Click on Add Item to add a second Extra Rule. Set some random rule and value.

Am I doing something different? What is the "ID" you mention? Are you referring to the "Name" column?

I tried it again and it worked without any problem... I'll keep on monitoring the behavior... maybe it's triggered by some combo

[archibalduk]

Yeah it could well be. Let me know if you come across it again.

Is it possible to get saved game before expanson draft in order to create own dynasty (with all respect to your great job man)

So the quest of having HockeyEttan (SWE-3) as a playable league continues.
After a minor issue most likely related to there being too many teams in the league (48), I backed up and split the league in two halves.

So what I have modeled is, with "playable" indicating that it is an item in the Rules & Structures:

Code: Select all

Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan [HA] (Swe-2) that has lower league set to be HE
Swedish HockeyEttan [HE] (Swe-3) ("non-playable league", domestic league) that consist of 
   Swedish HockeyEttan NorthEast [HENE] ("playable league", but is subconf) that consist of 
      Swedish HockeyEttan North [HEN] (conf & division, stage 1 in HENE) with 12 teams
      Swedish HockeyEttan East [HEE] (conf & division, stage 2 in HENE) with 12 teams
   Swedish HockeyEttan SouthWest [HESW] ("playable league", but is subconf) that consist of 
      Swedish HockeyEttan South [HES] (conf & division, stage 2 in HESW - yeah other order...) with 12 teams
      Swedish HockeyEttan West [HEW] (conf & division, stage 1 in HESW) with 12 teams
   Swedish AllEttan North [AEN] (competion, play-off league stage 3 in HENE with 8 teams: top 4 teams from HEN and HEE)
   Swedish AllEttan South [AEN] (competion, play-off league stage 3 in HESW with 8 teams: top 4 teams from HES and HEW)

The following seems to work OK in simulation:
* The four conferences/divisions HEN, HEE, HES & HEW all get scheduled correctly and looks ok.
* The four above also have correct standings etc.
* AEN & AES are correctly populated by the top 4 teams from each of its respective divisions/conferences
* AEN & AES looks correct from standings etc.



What I have still to get working:
* HA Relegation league, should be 6 teams in total with bottom 2 teams from HA regular season plus top two teams from AEN and AES. I've tried a myriad of various setting combinations in both AEN, AES and HA. But they all end up in various issues related to drawing of HA stages. During late February, i.e. when teams are either "stuck" in bottom two or top two in their respective leagues.

Usually the message is something like

Code: Select all

CUSTOM_LEAGUE::setup_next_competition_stage() - Could not find extra teams from lower league top playoff spots, stage 0

.

Note that I don't think I have seen any value other than zero (0) for the stage despite various combinations of fate, next upper stage to trigger and so on.

What I have not tried yet:
* Regular season continued in HEN, HEE, HES & HEW - bottom bye teams - I assume this will be trivial/easier compared to AEN & AES
* Relagation towards SWE-4
* Lots of advanced play-off features that goes between AEN,AES before HA relegation.

Note that HENE, HEN, HEE, HESW, HES, HEW, AEN & AES are either modified or added as club competitions.
Here are the dumps of the settings of HA, HENE and HESW if anyone is interested:

All and any ideas of what I should try is very appreciated.

I'd be happy to upload the database if anyone wants me to, I just need somewhere to store it.

[Named]

Could You zip database and upload on zippy for example? I can have a look. Did You look on other leagues relegation systems. I think problem might be with Your settings.

[archibalduk]

archi could You have a look does option "Bring result from previous stage" work? It seems not.. Matches from Regular season should be count to this next stage Group.

Yes it should work. I suggest taking a look at existing leagues to see how they do it. I expect you have to get the Linked Stage settings correct (see the Stages tab). The only settings that won't work are the two Extra Match Rules settings - they will work once EHM v1.4 is released by Riz.

[archibalduk]

Usually the message is something like

Code: Select all

CUSTOM_LEAGUE::setup_next_competition_stage() - Could not find extra teams from lower league top playoff spots, stage 0

.

Note that I don't think I have seen any value other than zero (0) for the stage despite various combinations of fate, next upper stage to trigger and so on.

Keep up the great work - and keep posting your findings here. This is really impressive and it is useful to see how you have set things up. It looks like you have had more success than me with multi-conference leagues.

Just on this error, keep in mind that the Editor uses a +2 modifier for all stage indexes (this is just to make it easier to understand in the Editor). So Stage 0 in the game is actually Stage 2 in the Editor. The initial stage (i.e. Stage 1) is referred to as Stage -1 (minus one) in game.

Is it possible to get saved game before expanson draft in order to create own dynasty (with all respect to your great job man)

Well again, the expansion draft is not a real "thing" but here's what I can do - I'll sim a game through till June 18, 2017 or so (when the actual expansion draft happens), I'll make sure the Vegas roster is totally cleared at that point and I'll upload the save. You can then use archi's editor to transfer players you want on to Vegas. That may be the easiest route to go if you want to start immediately with a Vegas franchise at the correct point in time. You can use the editor to to fill the roster and you can have control over the entry draft. I'll even make sure the Vegas scouts have scouted for the draft so you have info on players in the draft.

Keep in mind that you cannot move players/staff in a saved game. You can only do this in the database.

Again, this is mighty impressive work!

Thanks, I have uploaded it here:
http://www73.zippyshare.com/v/GQbGDRAv/file.html

Let me know if it works.

Note that the settings in that one is slightly different compared to the ones I posted above.
It also contains some other stuff where I have experimented with financial settings and so forth.
It also limits the rosters to 30 with maximum of 25 contracted (in Sweden).
This to hopefully improve the finances of the clubs. Haven't really looked into this deeper.
Gut feeling is that most of it is based on reputation (similar as what was reported by another poster on this forum recently).

I'm simulating as we speak.
Currently I'm investigating the effects of "Use only one stage from previous" combined with "Use additional stage" and setting the extra stage to stage 3. Hoping that it will understand to pick from stage 3 in AEN and AES...

Keep up the great work - and keep posting your findings here. This is really impressive and it is useful to see how you have set things up. It looks like you have had more success than me with multi-conference leagues.

Just on this error, keep in mind that the Editor uses a +2 modifier for all stage indexes (this is just to make it easier to understand in the Editor). So Stage 0 in the game is actually Stage 2 in the Editor. The initial stage (i.e. Stage 1) is referred to as Stage -1 (minus one) in game.

It is we that should be, and are, thanking you for this great editor!

Ah, right maybe the +2 was the thing that confused me - even though I've read what you wrote earlier at least 10 times wrt to this.

Hey, I have created all of the wjc divisions and have made them playble. But I have not been able to get the promotionen and relegation between the divisions to work. I have choosed uper and lower competitions to all of the divisions but it havent worked anyway. Anyone know how to fix that?

Have you set up appropriate Fate Rules for the various stages?

I have split out the NHL/Las Vegas Knights modification by BKarchitect here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 10&t=17603

I think it makes sense to split it out so that questions about the modification can be posted in that thread and then this thread can be left for discussion about editing league rules & structures.

I found important thing but not sure mentioned early. When we are creating new league with conf/divs. They should be added in Templates section with the same numbers as declared in Stages.

Another problem with the WJC Divisions is that I cant get that just one nation host the competionen. Now they just play home and away games. Even though I have tested to fill in different types of host options.

I will upload the database so anyone that wants to try to fix the problems (The hosting problem and the relegation/promotion I mentiond earlier) can do that.
In these WJC times i think it would be very nice to be able to bring a small country all the way up to the top division.

Note that I have created one more division then it is in the real life. I have added a div 3B division even though 3A is the lowest, thats becasue the last division has two group with 4 team each and it was simplier to just add a extra division and teams that dont plays in the real life.

So heres the database

I have seen in the editor that there is an option called "Junior Allowance" that is set to 1500 for basically every league, what does that regulate in game?

From my notes, it's a default annual allowance for junior players. However, I have no further information than this.
