Do you mean via editing a database? If so #1 you want this thread for editing questions http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... .php?f=110 and #2 you edit team draft picks via the extra_config file (probably easiest to do with the old Pregame Editor http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =88&t=6745 with an EHM07 version of the database, before then importing your edited EHM07 database into EHM1)

Is it still the case for draft picks modifications/trades ? Because indeed I can't seem to find where I can modify them using either the EHM1 editor or the latest EHM 2007 Updater v2.0.6.

Thanks

I believe it's still the case (but I've not used the new EHM1 Editor)

You can update them by manually changing the extra_config.cfg file in the unpacked database. HOWEVER, it seems like the EHM Editor doesn't unpack this file when you unpack the database. I might be confused about how the DB is structured (I don't know whether or not the extra_config.cfg file is part of the database file). I'm working on a post-trade-deadline database, but I haven't been able to find a way to update the draft picks. I tried exporting the DB into EHM 2007 format and using the editor for that to update extra_config.cfg but the editor doesn't want to open the exported 2007 DB. I hope the editor guys can get draft pick editing working, since the program already edits the extra_config.cfg file, I figure it would be able to edit draft picks.

Edit: My bad, extra_config.cfg is not internal to the database file: I think it's generated when you import the DB in EMH itself. You can edit that pretty easily. If you open extra_config.cfg and scroll down to where it says "NHL Draft Picks", just copy paste on the lines that says something like "DRAFT_PICK_SWITCH" "Pittsburgh Penguins" "Ottawa Senators" 4 2017. The first team name in quotes is the original owner of the pick, the second name is the new owner, the number after the second name is the round, and the number after that is the year of the pick.
