Players wrongly declared foreign players in IceHL

[PhilHell37]

Hi!

This already bugged me in FHM7, but since I saw it in FHM8 as well, I would like to suggest a change:

Right now, when you play in IceHL, all non-Austrian players (including players from other IceHL-nations such as Italy and Hungary) rightfully count as foreign players for the IceHL-teams from Austria.

However, Austrian player in the game do not count as foreign players when a non-Austrian team signs them. This is wrong though, as Austrian players on non-Austrian teams should be considered foreign players for those teams.
(example: If Bolzano signs Michael Grabner, he should be considered foreign player for Bolzano)

Would be highly appreciated if the developers could take a look it it The way it is now creates a bit of a wrong dynamic in the transfer market, also leading to weaker Austrian teams and I would love for this to be fixed.

Rgds,

Hmm, that'll be a little tricky to do. I'll see if I can figure out a way of handling that in the league rules data, otherwise we'll probably have to add some hardcoding to make that work.

Thanks for the reply! Would be awesome if you find a way to make it work!

I'm breaking my head because I have the same problem in the KHL. Any suggestion is welcome.

I was struggling this a lot with FHM7 Custom League.

If you can put commissioner mode on, then you can do this:

Choose ICEHL -> Edit
Change Nation to some nation that does not have players or just couple example Åland. Because those are now non-foreigner.

Now your austrian players are foreigners on non-austrian teams.
However now you can find IceHL under Åland tab and not under Austria tab.

I don't know how this is coded here but perhaps you could not use league Nation to count foreigners? Because the game already check team nation and count those as non-foreigners also. I also know Region also have something to do with nations or atleast with FHM7 it was.

Example:
If (League = KHL || League = IceHL) //Or any league that have those rules
ForeignNation = TeamNation
ForeignNation2 = ""
else
ForeignNation = LeagueNation
ForeignNation2 = TeamNation

//Or loop through the league to check nations of teams if there are more than one nation and league need to have foreign limit then it uses only TeamNation to count foreigners.

Edit.
Sorry for trying to tell you how to do your work but I'm also Software Developer and I just started thinking how I could do it by myself and write it down.

I moved IceHL to the Vatican and it worked. Thanks for the workaround! I just hope it does not ruin the game in some way (Champions League?)

But of course a real fix by the devs to this would be even better
