EHM 2007 Hardcode Editor (An exe / hex editor) [WIP]

[MKoivuFan]

can u change the number of teams in a league or no for example WHL..

edit... i changed WHL to 22 teams and had to rename the exe file so we will soon find out if it works or not..

[MKoivuFan]

k so after changing it in the hard code editor..



Then i got this



then i decided to save it to a different directory and then copy the exe file back into the ehm07 directory.

If i just double click on the ehm2007whl.exe file

it shows



however if i run as admin because i have vistia on my pc

i get this



but then when i dont run it under admin the standings only register as 21 teams instead of 22



so not sure if i did something wrong or what not..

You need to use "Run as Admin" when loading the Editor. Otherwise it cannot save files to C:/Program Files/.../

Always use "Run as Admin" when running the game and when running the Pre-Game Editor. Otherwise you'll end up with a shadow copies of your DB. You'll need to edit your DB again using "Run as Admin" with the Pre-Game Editor to add the 22nd team. Then use "Run as Admin" to load your edited exe. Try simming through the season to see what happens with the 22nd team.

I think you also need to change the League Structure because otherwise it might not allow 22 teams in the league. See if any other leagues have a 22 team league and try copying their settings.

if i want to use another league structure do i have to have the same amount of divisions and teams in those divisions..

for example another thing i was looking into is changing AHL, so if i use NHL as their structure do i have to have 5 divisions of 5 teams each or is it 30 teams with the 4 divisions?

I don't know. You'll have to experiment and test things out. All I did was write the editor - I haven't tested every possible setting.

[MKoivuFan]

just a little update for everyone...


I tried that and i get this error...



I just got to figure out because in the database i did 5 divisions of 5, im gonna try and go with the 4 divisions that AHL has in the original file but ill keep everyone updated..

[MKoivuFan]

after finding out the error it was because i had more then 30 teams in the pregame editor... so now the file loads up and in the team selection it shows all 30 AHL teams but in standings it only shows 27 teams so im gonna go ahead and sim 1 full season and see where it leads..

After doing much testing with OHL as WHL League size and everything else was going to try having 21 teams aka expansion team as the 21st team, AHL as a 30 team using NHL settings and everything, the database works just not the standings in EHM like u said im not sure if there if theres some hard coding that does not let u change the standings or something..

Do all teams play games?

Only 27 teams show up in standings but when u go to take over as the GM like when u first start up the game and u pick ur team it lists all 30 teams but in the standings it only shows 27 teams so it has to be some hard coding in the standings or something that archi hasn't solved yet with his editor that will problemly will be written in the editor down the road..

Are you planning on making this work on any version that doesn't use elicense because I tried buying it the way some other guys bought it years after the game was released but it seems that it's no longer possible. Wouldn't EHM 2007 at this point be considered abandonware since it's no longer for sale and official support for it has stopped?

[archibalduk]

I'm afraid I only have the eLicence version and the notes on which I based the editor are based on that version too. So I'm afraid I have no ability to support any other version of the game. Also, I'm not comfortable supporting any cracked version.

Just saw what you guys have been up to! Great job with it but thank god the new EHM will (hopefully) forever retire this headache of a project!

[archibalduk]

Welcome back!!

Hey
How's it been going with the editing work? Have to say looking back over everything i sort of miss it but sadly just don't have the time for it any more. Are you still putting in as much effort as back in the day?

Long story short: When you quit, we had to stop

[archibalduk]

In terms of editing the exe - we gave up after you left because nobody else has the expertise like you with the exe (apart from the Hardcode Editor which I based on your work). Also because we've been so busy with the database and writing editors instead.

In terms of editing the DB - we're as busy as we have every been.
