Weight + Chk formula.

We are past the halfway point of the season already with an average of almost 20 games played! Excellent work! Let's keep the pace up and I won't have to post a schedule! I wanted to introduce a goal or highlight of the week (see last week's update). Again, if you record or get a savestate, send them my way! Otherwise, you'll be getting clips of my games only, . This goal of the week was between me (CHI) and BoKnows (MTL). BoKnows scored 2 goals late in the 3rd to tie it up 4-4 and had the momentum going into OT. You're watching how it all ended in overtime.

Yes, we use the netplaysave for league games that have stats since it also allows you to take a savestate during online play. That savestate is used to extract all sorts of stats for the game.

I've waited nearly two years for this thread! I'm IN, if you get down that waiting list!

I think smoz is waiting to hear back from FPB. His keyboard may still not be responding... Agreed on Wookie.

Pretty sure this is a hack. Check out this post: http://gamehacking.org/vb/threads/4467-nolberto82-codes?p=58333#post58333

AWWWW SNAP! Lagless 2v2...can't wait to try this! Thanks dude!

FYI, the PIM are in the original ROM, but with smozoma's weight bug fix hack, that is replaced with Checks For. Similarly, Checks For in the Original ROM is replaced with Checks against. So depending on the ROM (original or smozoma's weight bug fixed), they will represent two different things: smozoma explains here: http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/12181-tool-hack-applicator/#entry96480

This is a reference summary of the stat extracts for Genesis, in case anyone wants to develop a stat extraction system in the future. Some stats have a link (underlines) to the original thread for more information. This just summarizes that analysis (and fills in a few missing spots ). Many thanks to everyone (dmitry, swos, smozoma, Evan, etc.) for putting in all the work finding these out!

I can understand scheduling conflicts, but I get more upset a lack of information. I don't care how busy you are, I'm sure you have 5 minutes to log into the forums/PM to say, "hey, I'm tied up this week, vacation, whatever" just to let your opponent, and everyone else, know that this is being worked out. In particular for playoff series. And if you really are THAT busy that you don't have 5 minutes, I'd question why you signed up in the first place. Having said that, flasox did play his games and communicate before the forums blew up...not sure why he went MIA this past month. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

23 GP this week (8%), bringing us up to 102GP, an average of 14.6 per person. If you are significantly below that, please try to get some games in this week, and if you are around or above, thanks getting this season moving! Team Standings Houli continues to be in the lead in the West division with 40 points (30-10), with Freydey, RedWingDevil and dcicon left to play. Da94wookiee made a push this past week playing 12 games and vaulting into the #2 spot with a 13-6 record (26pts). This is projecting to be a close battle for the division title between these two. Will be interesting to see what Freydey does once he gets up an running (I believe he's on vacay). In the East, kingraph climbed into the lead with a 13-3 (36pts) record so far. Alonzi41sits in the second spot with a 10-8 record. BoKnows, IceStorm, RWD and dcicon all have the ability to make a run for the top, but have played an average of 7 games each between the 4 of them. I hope to see the action pick up this week, for those 4 in the East in particular. In other news -- with the launch of ronsbar.org (thanks wookie!), I'd like to incorporate a goal or play of the week if possible. There are two ways I suggest you can get your highlights recorded if you don't know how to already: 1 - hit the "record game" button before each game to create a krec file (see smozoma's tutorial on recording movies). You don't have to worry about converting the krec and/or processing the movie if you're not comfortable. You can simply send me the krec file with a note on what goal/play I should looking for in the playback (i.e. my 2nd goal, my opponents 1st goal, a crazy play around 2 mins in the 3rd, etc.) and I'll take care of the rest. 2 - if you are using the gensnetplaysave.exe emulator, you can hit F5 RIGHT AFTER the play to create a savestate file (then hit F6 to change the slot). That file will be in the same directory as your ROM. The files end with .gs0, .gs1, .gs2 with the last number being the slot it was recorded. It's the same method used for leagues with game uploads and stats. For example, if you were in slot 1 to start, when you hit F5, a file called survivor_S02.gs1 will be created. The slot is not important, only that you change it so you don't overwrite your previous save. You can then send me the savestate file and I'll process the video as an instant replay. This only works if the play was about 20 seconds or less (NHL'94 time -- about 7 seconds of real time). Should be fun if we get a few submissions! Good luck!

If you like 2on2, the latest ROMs have the ability to edit lines without crashing. I believe this was a more recent upgrade as the regular 2on2 ROM crashes when you edit lines.

CAMAN man...you told me you'll be ready "in 20 mins" around 11:30. Then at 1 am you said, "brb, gotta dl hamachi". Then I get a text at 2am..."ready"...2.5 hours after you said "20 mins". Next time just say "no".

I saw the offsets for the home team (post #9), but not the away for GENS. Does anyone have it handy, or is it in another thread I can't seem to find? Edit: I found it myself

lol, it's actually not as bad as it sounds...though it probably did add up to like 2 hours of time.

Keeping me honest! FYI, to do this, I took a savestate every 15 seconds or so (length of instant replay is close to 20 seconds) through the whole game. Lots of savestates, lol. I then loaded each state in order and checked the player stats. Once I saw a check registered, I did the instant replay on that player. The player totals also tie out. So I guess this also serves as a proof that the checks by player stat works fine.

It's actually 5 injuries for 10 penalty minutes. So here's the projected totals for Injuring, Charging, Slashing, Roughing and Cross-checking (ignores hooking, tripping, interference and holding) and the second number is the difference from total: Manson/Tinordi - 52 (11) McSorley/Featherstone - 47 (5) Stevens/Murphy - 31 (38) Chelios/Desjardin - 29 (29) The big drop was in Stevens/Murphy and Chelios/Desjardin as they have a bunch of hooking and holding penalties. I wonder if this is more of a reflection of using the "A" button. I rarely, if ever, use it on defense. Perhaps Ice and Robbie use this more?

Just for fun, I clipped all the checks from one game I had vs. Houly to see how it would look in a quick highlight reel. It was 43 checks, currently tied for the most in a game for season 07. http://www.blitz94.c...asp?gameid=4323 It's kind of hard to focus as some checks were AI...so look for the yellow markers where the replay was focused if you can. FYI, I LOST that game, lol.

What's crazy is that he's my leading checker -- averaging 8.75 checks a game.

I like the layout a lot! I'm hoping this continues to build up momentum...great job!

Bet update: Taking the PIM/G and projecting to a 44 game finish: Stevens/Murphy - 69 Manson/Tinordi - 63 Chelios/Desjardin - 57 McSorley/Featherstone - 53 Featherstone not racking up PIM as I expected...

wtf... This is a great idea. I'd love to see this happen and I'd be glad to help. My guess is you'd be the editor-in-chief, running the whole thing, but would need contributions from the rest of the community. My concern would be the workload involved in keeping this up weekly. Bi-weekly may be a better place to start. We would also have to get into the habit to hit "record" for every game, so we can process and highlights and/or games for the vids. That'd be a lot of fun.

What did you notice...anecdotal or some other evidence?
