Yep, I've designed the patch to be as easy as possible. You just double-click on the patch exe file, and then select your start date. Then you click on one of the launch buttons (one launches full screen and the other in windowed mode) which loads EHM and applies the patch:
You do have to use the patch when you reload your saved game, but once you are beyond 1 October of the first season (or 1 July if you have Russia/Finland selected) you no longer need to use the patch to load your game.
Most probably. Perhaps this could be considered in the future because, like you say, the more that can help with it the better. However, it's already a very simple thing to do manually and so the contract tool will take priority. However, I must stress that I haven't tried merging the history database into another database yet - but theoretically it should be possible.Nikki Nine wrote:Wouldn't it be possible to write something that could merge the history database? I mean, the more that could help updating the histories, the better.
In ArtMoney, perform a search for values set to 2006 and you'll find it. Change it to the same value as the start year. E.g. if you're going to start in the 2011/12 season then set it to 2011.Alessandro wrote:Just out of curiosity, what new value did you set?archibalduk wrote:The offset that fixes the career history bug is 005F 08A2. I'll update my old post where I listed all of the offsets in the near future.
Something I haven't tested is what happens if you add history beyond the start year. Does it simply not load it or does it crash when it reaches the following season? E.g. if you add history up to the 2010/11 season then what happens if you set the start date to 2008/09 for example? Does it just not load the 08/09+ season history or will it crash at the end of the season? It'll be important to find this out before Manimal or anybody else starts adding post 05/06 histories as it could have ramifications for his database if he is still going to support the normal 2006 start date as well as the CSD Patch.
That's great news!
To be honest, I know very little about coding C++. 
I just read some examples and tutorials online about different features I needed and kind of slotted them together after about two/three days of learning and experimenting. There are lots of good sites out there with code snippets and there are several good C++ IDEs such as Codeblocks and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express which are completely free.
So it ended up as a bit of a dead end.
So we now have a
