  3. Best Setups for NHL94

    in Getting Started

    Posted

    First off, Windows 10 doesn't even exist. It's actually Windows 9, but they called it 10 because 8 sucked so bad that they had to skip a number to throw people off the trail. Which fooled a grand total of noone at all. In the immortal words of G. Dubya: "Fool me once, shame one me, fool me twice, can't be a shame-fooled-again."

    Windows 8 is the reason Microsoft skipped Windows 9. We already covered this.

    Windows Vista... Don't trust it. Not a bit. 

    Windows 7 is a solid and a really good OS. Never had any issues with it.

    Windows XP has a lot going for it. For starters, the start-up sound is bang on. When I start a machine up, I want that sound. I'd have it in my car when I turn it on if I could get it working. Shut down sound is great a well. That background with the rolling hills looks great when Gens is windowed. Really helps you relax after a long period. 5/5. But there's no more security patches so even after you clear your browser history after a sketchy browsing session you could have spyware / viruses.

    I'd go with Windows 7 or Linux / Mac. 

  8. NHL94 - Set plays, and how to pull them off.

    And on @clockwise's play, I think you will have more success if you pass it softly (backhanded) around the boards vs. hard (#4).  The slower puck makes it more likely your winger will get the puck.  Also, if you have a speedy guy, you can usually dump it right into the open net if the goalie gets caught chasing.  

    Look, Mr. all-time-greatest-NHL94-world-record-holder-that-get's-to-play-on-the-jumbotron-with-Ken-Daneyko: if I want your advice, I'll ask for it.

  9. NHL94 - Set plays, and how to pull them off.

    1. RW breaking in at the blue line with the disk
    2. hug the wall to the bottom of the faceoff circle
    3. hold the puck until the attacker commits so that you pass it just before you get crushed into the boards
    4. pass the puck hard around the wall, behind the net to the LW
    5. LW retrieves the puck at the opposite wall 
    6. LW feeds the puck to the center for the one-timer

    The goalie can get stuck behind the net chasing the puck as it goes behind him. This is a pretty cheap, but somewhat consistent way to get an ENG.

  11. NHL 94 Fighting

    in General Questions & Discussion

    Posted

    I read a publication years ago about a kid who loved the Road Runner and Coyote cartoons who jumped off the Grand Canyon with springs strapped to his feet holding a "yikes" sign. They found him next to a giant bowl of bird seed. 

    I don't remember the name of the publication, it could have been the The Weekly World News; it doesn't really matter. The point is: it's not in the game to keep kids safe. I know I feel all the safer for not having fighting in NHL'94, so much that I don't even lock the door on my rifle case at night.

  15. HOW TO: Trapezoid patch

    Why is pixelpuck.com no longer working ? And I need the trapezoid and stick patch to do an AHL' 18 Mod !

    Ah, sorry I'm not on a computer right now that has any of the sites files. 

    In the process of launching a business and decided to switch to dedicated hosting. There isn't anything I can add to those sites, either.

    Evan said he'd host nhl91.com as a subdomain a while back, and pixel puck is just wordpress with some javascript I added. IDK if you guys want to or not but anyone is free to mess with those sites files if Evan or someone else want's to host them.

  18. An NHL94 Kaillera Server

    in General NHL'94 Discussion

    Posted

    I put up the NHL'94 Kaillera server around '07 that was up for almost a year. Was about as stable as a three leg table; I had to reset it almost daily. You can set rules and stuff for Kaillera so that only specific games can be played, which was kinda-nice.

    Was fun while it lasted, but I didn't keep it because a lot of guys were closer to other servers.

    Also, this was before P2P Kaillera.
