  1. NHLPA 93 Editing.

    in General Questions & Discussion

    Posted

    graphics are probably the hardest to fathom out

    get something like GIMP (there are others that might have lesser steps to the process) to make the banners and TILE MOLESTER to actually put the banners in the game, but that is quite complicated but i had a LOT of fun making them and you can make them any design you want if you're brave.  and if you are download HxD hex editor and have a rummage around the rom reading an alien language ;) also find the tm93-30team download on here too, that has pictorials on what to do and a very handy font so you can directly paste in the lettering into your banners in the paint program

    i started using wboys 30 team rom but i now use his 32 team rom using a custom made spreadsheet from smozoma's SNES version

    two things you really need for this graphic work

    a graphics program (and paint3d which is already on your pc)

    and tile molestor, which lets you insert the newly created banners

    the text is part of the graphics of the banner, but search for tm93-30team on here and it will give you a start, if you are using the 30 team wboy version

    i used to do the 30 team version but the 32 team hack is now the one i use, i had NEVER did any modding like this before, well graphics i did but not hard hex which is a deep ocean.  the programs mentioned can be a bit intimidating, but like riding a bike it can be understood (TM might need some extra windows files to work)

    i had great fun creating my banners btw, if anyone remembers my 30 team ones with the countries flags in them, 'cos you can actually design them as you wish, just make them the same size and only your imagination is the limit!

    good luck RPG57

  4. Reordering existing teams in a ROM without redoing everything manually

    I assume that you mean the officially released versions of the series.  It can be accomplished in rom hacks as I have non-playable teams in some of my custom roms (by design).  So, it can be done, by restricting teams in EARE (and not just the playoff teams).

    You are correct that you can't re-order teams, like players, through NOSE where you push a button to move something up or down.  It's not an oversight.  It's a major programming endeavor!  Especially, as it impacts graphics/mapping and NOSE isn't used for that functionality.  Given what wboy gave us and how much went into it, it isn't an oversight.  Remember, he gave us that software for free and it already makes lives easier so beggers can't be choosers.  :) But, you can use NOSE to manually re-order teams through copy and paste and doing, essentially, the same, through TM.  I've done it that way for several of my roms.  It's a bit time-consuming, no doubt, but it's also not hard to do.

    yeah i know what you mean about non selectable teams ;) having like 8 teams available in the menu but the rest outwith that

    but can you reorder the team pointers only, since you don't actually have to have the teams data or colours in a particular order, i'm sure i read you could do that on here?  but then the banners ... and we know NOSE cannae do anything with them :P bah

    and just trying it myself, player moving doesn't effect line changes either, only if moved from defense to forwards or forwards and defense

    there's never been non playable teams in the NHL series (i think anyway), but wouldn't that be good if you wanted boss battles eh?

    however there is somewhat a type, and that's in the playoffs, so just selecting the teams required in the playoffs data selection would do that

     

    and obviously reordering teams in NOSE because there isn't buttons for that, bit of an oversight me thinks, as you can do that for players

    so there i was doing some of my simmimg competitions and this happened

    thirty seconds left to play, a fight breaks out

    but it's no ordinary fight

    it's a ONE MAN FIGHT?!?

    but the players are in their fight sequence and the clock continues until it runs out

    and then the winning teams celebrates

    but that player CONTINUES TO SHADOW BOX!?!?!?!?!

    never ever seen this before EVER in the thousands of games i've seen

    in fact never ever in any nhl game

    time to call mulder and scully?

    Anyone have an explanation? I feel like this is an unsolved mystery. Is Robert stack around?

    probably just a throwback that someone added to later when the year was added to the name, it was never actually named that, always EA HOCKEY to me

    ahh just seeing the preview in MEAN MACHINES was enough for me for an instant sale, as i was looking for a decent enough ice hockey game ... and after TWO DECADES of using it for my simming competitions it was retired

    and i guess the teams were selected because they were the more popular ones ... yes even poland :P

    it was quite interesting as to who won ... here's the list of my world champions

    2009-2010 - GERMANY
    2008-2009 - FINLAND
    2007-2008 - SWITZERLAND
    2006-2007 - FRANCE
    2005-2006 - SWEDEN
    2004-2005 - SWEDEN
    2003-2004 - UNITED STATES
    2002-2003 - CANADA
    2001-2002 - RUSSIAN REPUBLIC
    2000-2001 - HUNGARY (NOT A TYPO, they beat CANADA 7-2!)
    1999-2000 - SWEDEN
    1998-1999 - NETHERLANDS
    1997-1998 - C.I.S. (SOVIET UNION)
    1996-1997 - GERMANY
    1995-1996 - CANADA
    1994-1995 - NETHERLANDS
    1993-1994 - BELGIUM

  13. NHLPA 93 32 TEAM ROM

    in NHLPA '93

    Posted

    hmm

    how have you done the banners?

    since they are ten tiles wide

    looks like you did a patchjob like a typical cowboy, using colour blocks at the bottom of the banners:P

    so overlapping designs outside the ten tile limit is OUT

    doesn't mean i CAN'T do something ..... if that's right?

    RIGHT?

    and some VERY good news everybody .....

     

    I HAVE A MACHINE GUN HO HO HO

    or 

    I HAVE A WORKING SPREADSHEET

    to put all my teams into my WHL roms

     

    decide which is the right answer, after these messages:P

     

    yeah some stuff i couldn't work out (switching round the city offsets), and a REALLY dumb thing (not putting in the right header 1 bytes ..... i had "08" instead of "8E", what a maroon! and THAT'S why the team data wasn't being picked up, because that's the byte size too the team data.)

    but that's it!

    IT WORKS BRILLIANTLY

     

    and added in the  first thirty two Ron Barr texts for each team, and might change the start blurb too

     

    so now i can start with the team banners, and to finish off the rest of the team colours and team blurb and i'm off and running again, more than a year since the USB stick disaster 2: die USBer that knackered me up!

     

    i'm so gonna be earning 20% now, unless some nark narks me<_<

  15. NHLPA 93 32 TEAM ROM

    in NHLPA '93

    Posted

    and just realised i could have just downloaded SMOZOMA's 64 team rom and spreadsheet instead!  so i got everything mapped again, because it was EASY TO DO NOW:lol:

    also trying to work out where the first team data block was and spent a lot of time looking for it ..... yeah i found it .....

    somehow we've all been managing to put a a whole load of FF's between the first team data block and the team players data, and we've been doing that for ages (can't get a download of WBOYs original 30 team rom to see) but it should be easy to ..... my original international roms are fine there's no space between them

    check your roms, it's not a game breaker as all the pointers are correct otherwise they wouldn't work, just a bit of clean up required

    also i've noticed you've switched the teams around in the start menu ..... WHY YU DO THIS:blink: could actually change Team 1 and Team 2 to Home and Away

    got the team structure mapped, although the "00 02" before the team i don't know, i'm assuming that is the number of goalies?

    also not found the team stats nor the team lines either .....

    well hello there

    it's been a while

    and i see slapshot67 has created a 32 team nhlpa93 rom ..... DIRTYMUTHAPUCKER :D

     

    for myself, it was a sad day, a sad sad day when my first bought usb stick, with all my spreadsheets and roms went to silicon heaven

    but did that stop me?

    NO SODDING WAY MATEY

     

    but instead of doing the whole custom creations i went straight edged, and doing some classic EA HOCKEY competitions instead, my simming days are far from over (five games being used as of this time)

     

    but i was slowly continuing to build up a new spreadsheet of teams for usage in my new roms, and slowly rebuilding what that bloody dragon rekt :cry:

     

    right onto business

    since the "other" wboy is about as tight with the info as TEAM GB'S DEFENSE (but well done to them for staying in the top IIHF division, beating the french 3-2 in overtime ..... see i am totally up to date with things)

    we can start with the simple things

     

    TEAM BANNERS - 000A03IA

    now oddly their size has peached my orange, instead of 12 tiles across, they are 10 tiles across, i'm guessing just for straight forward spacing issues, but that means i'll have to be even more creative in my banners

     

    TEAM DATA - 000AD65E

    not searched for the team stats yet or anything else, so you'll just have to wait <_<

     

    POST THE INFO MAN

    let us suckle on your goodness :cry:

  21. Graphics Editing with Tile Molester Help

    in How-To & Reference

    Posted

    hello again, it's been a while, and about to get back on THAT horse again ..... my WHL season 4 is about to begin again, and i get back into using NOSE and TILE MOLESTER!

    and it's problem time

    i'v installed all the stuff indicated on the first page, and have an earlier version of TM working, but having troubs getting later versions to go.

     

    on WIN10x64

    TM 1.15a (works fine)

    TM 1.16 (works but it's in da portuguese, now i had the problem before in how to change it back but you know ..... old age and all that)

    Tm 1.18 (doesn't load even with the runtm.bat)

     

    if i can get at least 1.16 in english it'll be fine

  24. needing to create trailing "00" for NHLPA93 names

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    hmmm

    i might not need to know this, because i can open the rom in NOSE and it work's fine, but open it up in GENS and it corrupts!

    the offsets are calculated right, the team pointers are correct (the tables are pasted in at @310), and even overpasting the straggle of team data with FF's, after i copy mine in, even the 06 right at the end of the team data ..... not copied in or changed anything else!

    i don't even know IF the odd-length names need those trailing 00's to make it work or not, and can't figure out what the formula would be in the cell to tell it it's a odd numbered length, i know where to put the formula (at the end of the space reserved for names)

    the formula would be something like *if length of string = odd then "00" otherwise ""* to put those 00's at the end of the name space ..... not being an complete genius at formulae

    and i thought COBOL was bleeding hard :horror:

  25. needing to create trailing "00" for NHLPA93 names

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    after four LONG nights trying to be my spreadsheet finished, testing it out, and finding it messes up the rom many many times :glare: i now face something else .....

    thanks to SMOZOMA's wonder spreadsheet for his 64 team rom, i tried to recreate it for use on my own useage, and looking at how the SNES rom worked i started my work!

    lots of testing, lots of reworking things out, and lots and lots of being stupid!

    now i re-realise that the megadrive rom requires all the names hex to be in "even" numbers, any name that has an ODD number of characters needs that extra "00" value to make it even, otherwise the rom goes kablooey!

    again :rolleyes:

    i tried to actually add the "00" to my names but that only creates the hex value for the zero, and i read up that a "null" character is needed

    using SMOZOMA's formula - =if(N$2<min(len(trim($M21)),30),dec2hex(code(mid($M21,N$2+1,1))),""), creates the name fine, but creating the "00"'s only makes them as hex number "30", for BOTH zeroes!

    Sergio Romero00 53 65 72 67 69 6F 20 52 6F 6D 65 72 6F 30 30

    it should be

    Sergio Romero 53 65 72 67 69 6F 20 52 6F 6D 65 72 6F 00

    please help

    i'll be your friend :red_heart:

    :lol:
