[Question on recoloring banners]

Anybody know what's the best way to put in new team banners (I'm talking about the playoff/pause screen banners) and change the colors? I've been able to make new banners, but when I go to put them in through TM, they show up discolored in the actual game. Do I need to import the internal palette of the individual team colors or what?

Any help is greatly appreciated; this is pretty much the only thing left I have to figure out

[Team Overalls?]

found the overalls for hartford and philadelphia...pretty sure they were the only teams to ever use them, though.

ahhh yes......the cooperalls, one of hockey's greatest failures

how could we forget?

[Team Overalls?]

What was the location, btw?

Hex line 001DCA1E

offset 001DCA24 (should be the sixth offset in the 001DCA1E line): the number on this offset will be 1, the first team's overall, and it goes in order all the way to the last team's at 30 (either Washington or whatever team you replaced Washington with)

hope this helps

[Team Overalls?]

I don't recall the position, but you can easily do a search for it by converting the value from the Ron Barr screen for 2 consecutive teams in the 30 team rom (say boston and buffalo) and then searching for those values in the hex editor (might take 3 or 4 consecutive teams to avoid false-positives)

thanks a lot man, I took your advice and was able to figure it out pretty quickly (shows just how much I know about this hacking business eh?). Now it's time to work on those annoying team banners (but that's a whole different story...)

[Team Overalls?]

Hey, I was wondering if anybody knows where the HEX values are for the team overalls in wboy's 30 team hack. I know how to change the team overalls in hexeditor with the normal nhl94 bin file, but I can't seem to find the values in the hacked version. Any ideas/info?

[a question about logos]

It would have to be, because they are the only ones reliant on the strip pallates, the main menu logos have their own pallates.

In answer to the original question, you will need a program called tile-molester in which you can load up the graphics found within the rom and edit them to your liking. You can find a copy of the program under the downloads section.

To load up the rom and graphics, simply use the references download that wboy put up a while back...i think it's somewhere on the first page of the "Editing the game" section, if not just have a hunt around. You'll need to load up the correct graphic with the correct pallate, and change the colours from there; just don't change any shared pallates nor change any pink tiles.

It might be a little tricky at first, but stick with it and you'll soon be flying through!

Any problems or questions at all and i'll try to help out as best I can with the limited knowledge I have; drop me a PM and i'll be more than willing to help out.

Good luck

(Ps: I'm working on a full bookmark file for TM that should be ready in the next week or so - If you can wait that long then it would probably help you out a great deal)

thanks a lot man, that should definitely help. I forgot to mention I was using tile molester, so at least I have step 1 done!

I'm sure your bookmarks would be a great help for me, take your time with that one, I'll definitely be using it (luckily there's a lot of great hockey going on now to keep me busy too!)

[a question about logos]

Center ice logos?

actually, I was referring to the main logos on the select team screen, but I did put in one center ice logo which was discolored too, do you edit them basically the same way?

[a question about logos]

Hello all, first time caller, long time listener (so to speak...)

anyways, thanks to the incredible wboy's NOSE editor and some other tips and topics throughout the forum, I've been working on my own hack of NHL94. I've been able to do all the teams, names, jerseys, etc (aka everything in NOSE) and am now starting out with editing the logos and banners in the game with Tile Molester. I've been able to change the intro screen, and now am in the process of getting the logos into the game (I don't have them all in yet, but I know how to and I'm finishing them up now), but don't know quite how to recolor them to match up correctly without screwing up the .bin file (I do have backups though). Currently, for the most part, the logos are recolored to match the team banner colors (for example, the logo that replaced the blackhawks is mostly black and red).

By the way, I'm using wboy's 30 team NHL94 hack, in case that makes a difference (and from what I've read, it does)

Any tips for a first time hacker (I've already picked up a lot from this site alone) on how to fix up the colors would be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks in advance......
