EHM The Blue Line

I couldn't send a PM to Archibalduk to ask this as I need more posts on this new user, so I'll just ask it here instead.

How and where does one change the color of an NHL-team? Meaning the color of the team, color of the team in game (home and away) and wherever else one needs to?

I want to change the colors of the Nashville Predators on NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007. Currently it's like dark blue with yellow name at home and the white and blue or something away (can't exactly remember right now).

I want to change to yellow and blue and correct away as well.

Use the EHM 2007 Pre-Game Editor: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =88&t=6745

Ah! Okay. Thanks. Does that work for already started games? I mean, I see it's a pre-game editor, but colors must be taken from somewhere? A script somewhere.

No, it works for databases only. You cannot edit saved games to change colours.

Ah I see! But do you know what files that have the colors?

Is it among the dat files? Because one might be able to edit this stuff manually if one finds out where it is.

Yes - all club data (including club colour data) is stored in club.dat and nat_club.dat (for the national clubs). You will need the following:

1. A hex editor;
2. Details of the club table structure - see here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 81#p131548; and
3. A basic understanding of C/C++ structures.

You will also need to look at the colour.dat file in order to see which colours have which IDs. Alternatively, you might be able to export the colour data (i.e. colour IDs and names) via the EHM Updater.

Thanks for the help, I'll try and see if I can get around to this. I'm like 19 seasons in, in that game. So if I'm able to change it that way, it would be great.

It worked very easy using the pre-editor and a new game.
