No, but you can put all the leagues to standard instead of enhanched (english) and tune down the level detail cutting down time due to less 2d elaboration.

Yeah...I've already done that and it's still taking this long.

A bit more on the issue of the extra GM's and AGM's, as I've gotten some e-mails on the subject.

Does anyone have a work around for this? Its not really a big issue, the only annoyance is that I can't get a Team Report from my assistant GM.

I've tried firing him but it doesn't work and I can't hire a new one, nobody will take the job no matter how much money I offer.

Anybody having any luck getting a functioning assistant GM?

I'll also add my thanks for all the hard work Smetana, you did an awesome job!

For me, my old GM and old Assistant Gm are still in the personel screen, but I could hire a new AGM after I fired the old one.

The weird thing is that despite having fired him, he still has the option of being fired or renewed when I click on him.

Even weirder, both him and my old GM are now available as scouts.....hehe - send good old JFJ to scout after I replace him as the GM.

When I attempt to open the roster, it says "unable to load fonts" and terminates EHM. This is from a PC, not a Mac. Ideas?

Where do you have the ehm2007.exe file?

C:\Sports Interactive\NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007

Weird. Usually that error is when you have the exe file in another folder than the installation one...

Yes, it ended up quite weird, and obviously not as intended.

If you're a member of the Church of ArtMoney, I can tell you how to get the GM and AGM out of your hair completely, and how to retain your proper AGM as AGM if desired. It involves some hex editing, so it's not for the untrained.

Barring that, just fire your old GM (he'll stay on the secreen and you can use him as a scout) and your AGM (ditto) and hire a new AGM to access your team reports.

I considered releasing a version 5.01 to correct this issue, but it's not a game killer, and (believe it or not SI) over 500 people have downloaded this roster in 48 hours. Plus, I'm enjoying PLAYING the game for the first time in a LONG time.

I have download the file but were shall i put it?

250 per day X 365 days = 91,250 per year!!!

Sega/SI would probably say that 99% of those numbers are for pirated copys....

Thanks again Jan, I'm having a blast using your update!

But just think of how many that would be with some proper advertising in North America

Thanks so much Smetster!! I have always downloaded your roster packs since the freeware version years ago and I am happy as hell to see you back at it agian.

Editing players and teams and the whole sha-bang could make anyones skin crawl and the amount of hours dedicated could make a person puke, thanks dude!

As for the other gentleman named Kidhander, I couldn't put into words just how fortanute (sp?) we are to have members like you, thanks for all your hard work fella's and fellaettes!

Question: Is there an editor that I can use to edit a few things on smet's roster download ? I believe there is a pre-game and saved-game editor but I can't seem to load the save file for some reason using these editors any suggestions ?

Use the save game editor, but first save the game as an uncompressed file, otherwise the editor won't recognize it.

In trying to load this saved game, I get this message: "the save game is corrupted and cannot be loaded." I've tried downloading it several times and the same thing happens. Please, please help ... I really want to play.

Smetana,

Quick question for you regarding some players...eg. Tim Konsorada on the Caps, a pretty good young player, but from when I intalled your roster, some of his attributes dont have numbers on them, but a dash instead...

is something being misred somewhere?

I loaded up the save game in the editor, and it seems like there are values for the "dashed" figures....any ideas?

Also, generally in regards to the save game editor, can anyone explain to me the wacky numbering system? like in the editor field it says Glove 41 and that translates as 18 or 17 in the game...no idea how that works...

Cheers!

Scout those players and they'll have their attributes visable.

What happened to Peter Forsberg?

I dont think he would sign for the minimum, and I dont think his attributes are up to par.

Jan already discussed this in the readme and early in this thread. Both him and Teemu Selanne (maybe some others I'm not sure) had their reputation and current/potential ability decreased in order to stop teams from signing them. You can fix them using the saved game editor.

That's correct. Either you can edit them back into game shape, per se, or leave them alone and they'll retire sooner than later.

The option is up to each player's preference.

And that's the funny thing about readme files.

Hardly anyone ever reads them.

How much disk space you have?

thanks for the advice, I can now edit players and such, I have another question as well that I do not understand at this point.

For instance, I would like to edit each of the players fighting ability along with the strength of certain individuals, is the number shown using the pregame editor out of a possible 100 ? I've noticed some players like Boogaard's fighting ability rated something like 66 and other heaveyweight contenders at 49.

why is the rosters not there ne more....i can't download them....

First of all, thanks Jan for this great roster update! But, could you please do the corrected version if you have time? I think many people would be even more glad than they are now. Have you by the way tried to edit them with the save game editor? And finally, did you edit any of the European leagues? Their roster update would be very welcome as well. Could it be possible to create a database-file of your new updated rosters? (Would of course be without the 2007 draft) Many guestions, hope you have time to answer them.

I'm getting an out of memory error. Which is bogus because I've got 2GB of memory, and about 1.34 of that is free - so something is strange here.

ok... well thanks for the help.

Hey for some reason the download link no longer works.

Nevermind. Google works wonders.

You mean 2gb of ram right? not hard drive? If so I'm not sure whats wrong. I know ram affects how many teams etc you can have active in the game, but Semanta's file is working for me and I only have 128 on this computer. It's super slow though.
