  1. There's only one way to gain experience. If your still interested in doing this lmk and I'll walk you through when time permits.
  2. Your #1 destination for NHL '94 Kaillera netplay. Should eliminate the need to oscillate between servers, and give a place for new players who haven't populated their '94 player list to congregate. New Location: 72.37.227.116 max users: 30 max ping: 100 I suggest pinging the master server list and adding it to your local list so you don't have to enter the ip manually every time. Enjoy.
  3. Finished. Pasted the entire sprite field was all. Where do you want me to send it?
  4. Hey Mack, do you want the stick tape / player animation edit I did before your release? Takes only a few minutes to apply.
  5. Was in the process of getting some web forms up for nhl91.com to hold standings for a league, but this sounds cool, when do you think this will bear fruit Evan? #194 + my birthdate = total # of natural disasters it takes to stop Roenick. That should at least get me a position as head waiter in the cabal.
  6. Another addition: Stick tape has been added (both white and black versions) by modifying the affected tiles using the boot / glove color for the stick, and the skate color for the white tape version, which is more compatible with the smaller pucks. I also changed the eyes of the player sprites to use the boot color so visiting teams like Detroit don't look baked using the jersey color for the eyes anymore.. It's an arduous process locating every tile and configuring them but it's a nice visual enhancement and adds another dimenson of detail to the sprites. Pics attached Black tape White tape There's also a way to add this edit to any other rom since I've done the tile editing, all someone would have to do is paste the entire sprite image. I'll do a tutorial on it in the near future. Re Stl jerseys: Many of the team uniforms can't be represented accurately (yet) ie: Chicago doesn't have black shoulders, they have a black helmet for the away uniform..But this isn't possible due to the jersey sharing the lid color..So EA compensated by making the shoulders black..I could add a blue band to the sleeve for STL using swos's strip hack but that would remove the skates. Re logo: I used sportslogos.net for everyone of the team logos except for STL. The team pallet is shared with the jerseys, so if I add the red trim to the logo it has to be added to the uni as well (which is pointless seeing how small the band around the jersey was). The lettering for the note won't even be legible and takes away from the logo so I took it off. Same principle applys to the NY Isles uniform. And yes I know Hull scored 86 not 87. He also scored those 86 in 90-91 which is the season the game is based on, not 91-92. They didn't make the playoffs that year.
  7. I'll help you, so long as your willing to learn. Otherwise if you want some one to do it for you (me for instance) I accept all major credit cards and COD. Seriously though, having someone else do the majority of the work for you, then having them in the credits so to speak is a small consolation booby prize. As for what you want to do without going into much detail: Changing the playoff / in game banners only requires a little dissection of the banner text in a graphic editor as it's one image. The menu banners are not as imposing with only two colors to change for each twice(home / away left, home / away right). You can import your logos easily by using NOSE's color sniper to locate the optimized BGR values you wish to use. Having the teams use all the same ice logos would mean having all of the ice logos share the same palette by creating a new one as the home jersey colors share the ice logo. You can get more aquatinted with TM by watching a few of slapshot67's help vids.. or by looking at some of the great tuts Evan's done for using TLP. Finally head over to hexaddicts.com and dl wboy's TM reference screens. Try not to get overwhelmed by looking at the whole thing. Just focus on one part of the project (banners etc.) until you start to figure it out.
  8. Root beer ice for addison, high falutin! Looks great. Did you really piece Neely pixel by pixel? I still don't wear mine to the local watering hole as the scene quicky devolves in to a Axe commercial.
  9. Yup. Even though the number of selectable teams in the menu is 23 there are still 30 teams..A few of the clubs have been repeated in the back of the rom that aren't selectable for when the "other scores" appear. This way their isin't a blank space there..So don't be shocked if you see a the Sabres facing it's doppelganger. Must have glossed over these. Thanks for pointing 'em out they're fixed now..
  10. Download wboy's player card tutorial from his site to help you get started..If you still need help come back and I'll explain the method I use to do them.
  11. Most of those mistakes were likely made during hour(s) long sessions in my genuine imitation leather chair where time bends, minutes become hours, and sprites become animate. No excuses. I've fixed them all. Thanks for pointing them out to me, saves the time of having to search for them myself. Player ratings are independent of team ratings..The Dekes had the lowest point total with 46, the 2nd lowest was Toronto with 57. Thats why they were awarded the lowest overall team rating. Looked at sportslogos.net and your correct about the Boston logo..I changed it to the '90-'91 one. Player card pics for all 450 + players are complete along with a few uniform tweaks.
  12. Hex offset: 0x001DCA24 Here's a pic in case you have trouble finding it.
  13. This thread is over a year old, guys, before the 1st season took place and well before Evan set up the 2on2 sub forum.
  14. Good eye. It'll be corrected for the final release. Actually I tried to set the playoffs so you could only play with the first round matchups from '91. I wasn't able to accomplish this without having the menu lockup.
  15. I meant the way it used to be. It confusing because if someone happens to reply to a comment that's high in the thread it doesn't appear as the most recent post at the bottom. I'll see if I can be changed in the control panel.
  16. My bad I wasn't aware of that. Spike, Don't forget to set the team pallet size to 480 or you won't be able to cycle home / away. Tile molester doesn't support the loading of pallets in hex only decimal. To get the decimal pallet for a team(s) in NOSE go to options> offset> decimal. Or CTRL + D.
  17. It's something I will definitely consider when I'm finished doing all the player cards for the backups.
  18. Have you imported a png image (or otherwise) over the logo or is that an existing logo in your TM photo? Judging from the pic of the rink you posted it appears that your using swos's rom for your edit? I'm not sure how far you are along with your project but it's advisable to use wboy's 30 team rom template with the graphics decompressed. I used it for my NHL '91 edit and it makes editing logos player cards intro screens etc a breeze.
  19. A EASN foldout collage poster came with the game. I honesty don't remember where I got the ad from.
  20. Is there any way to view the forum posts on one page in a thread without clicking on them?
  21. While Brett might not have been the most fleet of foot he's possibly the most pure sniper to ever play the game. He tallied 87 goals that year, 72 goals the year before and 70 prior. Looking at hockeydb.com he's 3rd all time in goals with 741 over Esposito (5th), Yzerman (8th), and Lemieux ( 9th) etc. And if I remember correctly in an interview during Gretzky's short time in St Louis he said Hull had a better shot than himself but Brett couldn't pass as well. With the rating system I used the only three players deserving of a 99 shot accuracy were Hull, Lemiuex, and Gretzky.
  22. Cheers for the replys. There's a few aesthetic things being added that wern't done when I put the game out. I wanted everyone to get a feel for the game and get some feedback before I'm completely finished with it. - Hockey tape is being added to players sticks - I'm messing with grey / white to see if it would be better then black. The black tape seems to clash with the puck and cause some confusion where the puck is during mad scrambles and such. I'm interested to hear what people think about which color to use. - Player card photos for all players - Another aesthetic thing that I didn't want to keep me from releasing the game. All players (even the 1 game wonders) will have player pics. - Bench / penalty box area ice removed - Looks alot better black, just about finished with this. There's really no sense in putting a different version of the game up every time one of the them are done. The final game will be out once these three things are finished. Close ups of the team uniforms with their respective team crests are up on the site. If anyone want's to check them out just click on the team here. The rosters for every team will be up on the site when I get time. Yes your right. This is because I did the All Star teams first and LaFontaine wore 17 at the All Star game. Once I got to doing NYI roster I pasted his data in NOSE on NYI and forgot to change his # back to 16. If anyone else finds any grammar errors or anything post them here and I'll fix them.
  23. Echoing what HABS said the leagues in hibernation right now. There's a few leagues in session and possibly more on the horizon so I don't think anyone would really have time for 2on2 league games at the moment. That said, 2on2 will return..And when she does she will have a dedicated custom rom, with limited selectable teams, new intro screens, logos, etc. There's also the possibility that a, "create your own player" format, where teams will be able to select if they want a D man, LW or RW, with a C, instead of the mandatory C, and LW. Teams would be allotted a certian number of player points for the two skaters, and goalie that can be destributed where ever a team decides within the point parameters with the ability to select any player name they want... Thoughts?
  24. Found this cleaning out my documents.
