  1. Who has any time whatsoever to do anything during the Stanley Cup finals??? :-D imho if your opponent has time to play why not just play?
  2. I'm not applying for the tournament but I thought that this would be a good place to let yall know that Im a n00b looking for games. My first games were this afternoon vs guyhebert pretty even stuff. Anyone feel free to IM me at t3hn3f4rious1 on aim and assuming I'm at the computer and not involved in anything terribly important I am down to play,
  3. Most of the ratings are between three and four distributed according to player strengths and weaknesses. I gave Morozov a five in offensive awareness but he only has a two in defensive awareness. In cases where this caused certain players to be too good I tweaked other ratings to tone down their awesomeness (lowered offensive awareness if they arent awesome scorers or toned down shot power / accuracy. I dont like how in NHL94 players at the NHL level sometimes have ridiculously low ratings. Keeping most of the players average rated makes the game more even but the star scorers and such still have an advantage. For instance I have been doing tests by playing ak bars against itself. I usually win but have been upset by the computer before or the computer has managed to usually keep it close. The cpu has shown the ability to set up one timers and has even score on breakaways and other situations. I then played a game no line changes of myself as the top line vs the bottom line and blew the cpu out 11 - 2. I'm also going to tweak fatigue to force the player to use all the lines. I don't know if I'm making any sense at the moment but I'll post some player ratings tommorow to give you an idea. I used the BvH updated Rosters for 09 to give me a general idea of each player and then supplemented that by reviewing stats, reading articles, and watching some video. Need sleep now. Goodnight everyone.
  4. Yeah I was thinking of putting Medvedev in the place of Ron Barr. The the way I am doing lines right now is by looking at scoresheets for games to see goals and assists plus also looking at videos when available. Things would be alot simpler if the team websites put primary positions even but they basically only write Forward or Defense. My top line right now looks for ak bars looks like Morozov - Zaripov - Martensson but in alot of videos it looks like Morozov is sometimes playing right wing also. I get the feeling that they switch positions as they play and arent so constricted but maybe I'm just crazy. Thanks for the link JF@^ and for the lines The Russian Rocket.
  5. Why dont people use really light blue? There is a light blue that is like the third color in the palette... just make it the first color too and it looks really good. Its not too white so as to make white jerseys look the same while not being to gray and strange. I'll post a screenshot in a minute.
  6. Thanks I know Ive been using it/the team websites/fan sites and blogs. I just found a website that has videos from every ak bars game. So Im using it to piece together the lines and such. If anyone knows anything about line combinations please message me. Would save me the time of watching potentially hours of game video.
  7. Thanks :-D Ive already applied your stick-tape and sprite enhancements which are awesome. I've also used swos strip hack to make representing the jerseys a whole lot easier. I just wish I could figure out how to take the sprites out of one of his roms and apply it over the wboy 30 team rom. Or else I guess I will just use end using his 09 update rom as a base. I saw in a thread where you explained how it was possible to view the sprites in tile molestor and even though I thought that I followed the instructions I came up with nothing :/ I'll try again later. I think once I get the hang of some of these things I should be able to work alot faster. Since I didnt take notes when I started to work out my rating system and kinda just had everything in my head i find myself having to constantly reference back to players Ive already made to see how I scaled things. Also I figured out yesterday that Google has the ability to translate things which is a lifesaver. I was using hockeydb and eurohockey.net as references but was finding alot of conflicting information. Now I have access to the treasure trove of information from the KHL team websites. The new order of business is as follows 1. Create a write down a player rating system/chart 2. Tweak the completed ak bars roster and fix the player weights 3. Finish Lokomotiv roster 4. test and simulate 5. tweak game mechanics as needed 6. figure out how to molest tiles 7. release demo Time Frame: when I get to it :-D But maybe expect some screenshots and possibly even short video clips much later today or possibly tommorow. Ive already got the top line for Loko so I may play a game with line changes off or something.
  8. There is a ROM for the 07/08 playoffs on Mack's website. Mack's Hacks
  9. New Ron Barr text. I fiddled around with the variables in the code so that the names are displayed before locations. That way on the game menu the team is listed by location (using both names caused some problems due to trying to display have too many characters) but as you can see in the pregame briefing it still appears as Lokomotiv Yaroslavl or Ak Bars Kazan. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to replace Ron Barr with... or should I just leave him there? Edit: o_0 is "eager to cheer them on" grammatically ambiguous?
  10. I really like the scoreclock :-D Also cool idea of including the finals of the olympics!
  11. Im working on a KHL rom encompassing the the rosters of the end of the KHL regular season / playoffs. Ive completed the roster and uniforms of Ak Bars and this is a screenshot of Ak Bars playing against itself. Let me know what you think of the uniforms and what can be improved. Next I am going to do Loko and then possibly release a two team demo just to guage interest and get some feedback on gameplay etc. topshelf has told me he will help with banners. If anyone wants to help with anything else that would be great. Also if you know anything about russian hockey and are willing to help me with figuring lines out that would be greatly appreciated. I dont read russian and information on english sites is very limited so I am doing my best to approximate lines based on game recaps and information from eurohockey.net thanks in advance. Now time for some sleep. Edit: Thanks to Smozoma for his weight bug fix and to Tantrix for sharing his findings on fatigue and for helping me with Hex Workshop.
  12. Damnit I should have listed NHL '91 as a poll option.
  13. Just curious which ROMs are the most popular. Please discuss which ROMs you play the most and why. Personally I play a large variety. Among them: Slapshot's Olypmic's ROM. The official updated rosters ROM (I just patched it with weight fix on friday) Slapshot's NHL 71 (Im addicted to Bobby Hull. Play the ROM and you will be too.) Once in a blue moon I play original NHL94. I never had a console as a kid (other than NES) so I didnt really grow up with the game. Also I wasnt a hockey fan when I was 6 years old so i dont have any particular nostalgia for the original game. If I ever get my lazy ass over to target I am going to get a gamepad and maybe start playing online.
  14. w00000000000t. I actually hacked one ROM myself by following your notes but this will def. make everything alot easier. I also played your nhl94 rom which you posted before (the one with your weight fix and that tracks CHK) and ran a few demos. Boston is really brutal. Okay I patched some roms to include the CHK for and against stat. My question is if the CHK against stat is hidden then what purpose does it serve?
  15. You could try lowering the endurance of every player. I was thinking about trying that myself. Can't try it out at the moment because I wont be at home until tommorow though.
  16. Absolutely beautiful! I love the banners.
  17. So I played a game and then noticed that you have filled the PP lines as if they were the teams 4th line? What is up with that?
  18. I would be also be interested in any seasons between 99/00 and 06. I think I basically have just about every rom out there that can be found on a website. But maybe some of you have other stuff that isnt being hosted anywhere?
  19. w00t slapshot! Was just thinking of how awesome a mod like that would be. Good luck. Ive got some idea if you want to hear any of em.
  20. Best broadcasting team ever: Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse "The Body" Ventura I can imagine those guys calling a hockey game
  21. Happy Birthday man, I hope your parents got you NHL 94 for your birthday. I hear it's great. :-D
