[Mod Requests!!!]

@UltraMagnus ultimately i've found myself playing a lot your CHL '21 (95) rom...

Since i've came across the 100 points bug in season mode, and I've read here that it can be fixed (as has been done in the nhl 23 edition), could you explain me how to do it on the CHL rom too?

Thanks in advance

Oh, sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I actually went ahead and grabbed all of the player data as of about three games into the tournament. If I recall, today is the final day to add players, so I may only need to get data on a couple more players. [I noticed that Denmark added a fourth goalie. Probably due to injury, not sure, I haven't watched that game yet] Anyway, I've spent some time reworking my player data formulas to spit out an array of ratings that seem fair based on the snapshot of this particular tournament. Added some weighting for other statistics from this year and I think I'm happy with the results. Just waiting for all of the games to be played now so I can grab the full tournament stats for the final player ratings. Actually as you noted, for pretty much any player on the other side of the pond, eliteprospects is usually the most complete. I'll cross reference with IIHF's site, but as far as European leagues and players go, I like that one.

Photos on the other hand is always the single most time consuming part. Luckily The IIHF site has all but the most recent additions and have very consistent photos as far as colour balance, so it's just a matter of making sure the scaling and cropping is done right. Then comes the importing. Usually break that up into a couple sections because I've got shortcuts for basically everything except the monotonous importing of up to 832 individual player photos. Haven't started on that yet, but I'll have to soon.

Oh that's another story... sorry I've misunderstood!

Well, at this point I'll wait... meanwhile, you've said that importing the photo is so far the only manual operations you do... is there anything I can do for making this automatict too? What do you need to import the photo? I guess that the image must be cropped and then converted to some other format and then written on the rom, is there any way to create a script that do this? maybe starting from a folder of images oppurtunally named?

If you explain me the steps needed I can try to figure out something

Hi, anything in particular you're hoping to do/find here?

Also I'm always curious to find out, how do people find this place? Random thought and google, or did you see NHL94 somewhere and then google and end up here..

Thanks for your curiosity... well I've start to play NHL94 quite recently (a year ago or so), and I've immediately found this forum looking for some roster update on google.

I've found a very interesting communitiy here since i'm a developer (web apps mainly, but i have some ASM skills too), hockey fan and retrogaming enthusiast... so I think i fit quite well here 😄

I hope to help the community building new roms, since I've recently discovered a lot of them and had a lot of fun playing (especially the '95 ones).

Recently I've became stronger at the game, so the AI is becaming quite boring... that's why I also hope to find some new challanges online (even if I mostly play on real hardware and the online tournaments are on emu only)

I hope that these answers replied to your curiosity 😉

Thanks for the offer eh. Although.... I might be working on some new goalie ratings right now.

Due to the tournament's nature of adding players right up until the semi-finals, I might be looking at a week or so after the tournament is over to get something finished.

You're right, but since is a long job I'd better start this now, and AFAIK rosters are almost complete right now.

Since i didn't this before I'll be glad if you can help me exactly what data you need, i believe that player size and weight are the first, but what for the other characteristics? should I decide them arbitrarily or is there any db for the non nhl players? maybe eliteprospects?

Since completing the 90's ones, I've been debating doing a current one, but I left it too late this year.

Although, if someone were to get all the roster data together for me, I could finish up the rest of the new artwork for it.

I'll be glad tpo collect the roster data for you if you're ok to work on the ROM... let me know!
