Thanks for 70's rosters!

What does happen when you try to load a season or dont you know how to load it? You can load a season: File->Open->League->Select your season from list->Open.

I think you cannot edit playoff matchups after the season or at least it requires more than just editing the schedule. However you could try to affect to playoffs pairs by editing standings before going to the playoffs. Note that game will take teams to playoffs, considering divisions. NHLInfo does not support changing team division, but it is possible to change that in teams.db. You can see address for division in NHLinfo by selecting team and pressing "d". Never tried this thou, so I dont know if there is more to do than simply changing division indicator on teams.db to make it work.

You dont rate goalies much?
-
Good work, thanks!
-
Did you check lines also, that there is no empty places etc. Anyhow, interesting find and good that you found also solution.
-
Code is actually very simple, I belive you figure it out if you have used any programming language. You can pick up addresses from my code and make your own by VB if you want.
-
Yes, game summary seems to be working and at some point gamesave too. I think info is there, but program needs some modification. I put C++ source code here, hope you can figure out how it works and you manage to change it.

Try this: Copy TESTGAME.NHL to new folder. Rename TESTGAME.NHL as GAME.SAV.
Copy also these to same folder: KEY.DB, GSUMMARY.DB and TEAMS.DB.Copy stats_gametotxt.exe to same folder. Run stats_gametotxt.exe. I attach that here as a zip.file. It ask you GAMEID and ROUND, put some numbers there.Does 2 files appear to folder and if so, what are their content? -
I think the game does not support that. At least I have never find that possibility from game menus. You could try to code program that extract those stats from savegame. I did that for a season games, but exhibition games use only one file for savegame. For season games savegame stats are stored in two different files. Exhibition game will be saved to *.NHL file.
-
Try to add another zero, so it would be like 00 00. That worked at lest to Rangers logo. We will see if that works to other teams also
-
Good that you manage to make it work!
-
Did you open that excel made csv-file, with notepad? How does it look? Problem could be that excel uses different field separator by default: http://superuser.com/questions/396469/how-to-control-csv-import-into-excel-2010 and in that case you have to change it.

I think colors to jersey's in the line editor come from player palette, which can be edited with JED. I think those cannot be separate. Only solution is figure out witch colors on JED effects to line editor jersey colors... and that seem to be hard to find out: http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/8800-nhl-reebok-edge-jersey-update-2008-2009/?p=68747

I suppose it is possible if you find where it is called on hockey.exe. I dont where it is thou

This is all I know so far (text is from my other post):
About center logos on rink, I think those are not in format that NHLinfo can handle. I figured out that center logos are in TIL-files and placing those over rink is stored in MAP-files. For example NYR.TIL stores Rangers center logo and NYR.MAP tells where game should put it in Rangers home game. As long I had made right assumptions
Anyways, I wiped out NYR.MAP file continent, but game did crash. Then when I put nothing but 2 zeros to that file by hex editor, game worked fine and did not put any center logos to ice. So this could be a workaround to center logo problem before we can figure out how to edit TIL-files. Maybe TileLayerPro is solution... -
Game opening flags are stored on UFLAG.PPV and CFLAG.PPV. Anthems are in USA.CFG, USA.KMS, CANADA.CFG and CANADA.KMS. You can switch these by simply copying them over, for example changing all teams to use USA flag and anthem, just copy UFLAG.PPV over CFLAG.PPV, USA.CFG over CANADA.CFG and USA.KMS over CANADA.KMS.
You can also try to switch other ppv-animations and cfg/kms music to game opening.
-
Each team can hold max. 25 players and 3 goalies. You can insert new players or goalies to that point, after that new player/goalie will be created as free agent.
-
NHLinfo is also very handy tool to make new players, edit them and transfer them to other teams.
-
You should always take backups and keep one version of them on other place than your hard drive, like in server. Is there even possibility to save original rosters over current ones in game? I thought game will ask which one you want to use if you make a season, not that you can replace the current with originals...
-
I suppose so it would work like that, but why would you like to touch on originals?
-
Original rosters and other info are saved on NHL95 root on ".ORG"-files. If you make changes to current rosters, those changes are saved on ".DB"-files on NHL95 root. In game you can select in some cases which ones do you want to use, for example at that roster viewing/editing or when you are starting new season. Season databases will be located directory with season name. If you choose for season name as myseason, game makes "myseason.lp" directory for that season database. Database files on that directory are ".DB"-files.
Files in root for default (current) database:
ATT.DB
CAREER.DB
CARTEAMS.DB
GSUMMARY.DB
KEY.DB
LSSCHED.DB
SCHELDULE.DB
SEASON.DB
Files in root for original database:
ATT.ORG
CAREER.ORG
CARTEAMS.ORG
GSUMMARY.ORG
KEY.ORG
LSSCHED.ORG
SCHELDULE.ORG
SEASON.ORG
Files names are quite self-explanatory, but you can view info from those databases by NHLinfo. For example if you view teams, select one team and press "d". That shows you what info are stored according to that team in TEAMS.DB, offsets linked to KEY.DB and SCHEDULE.DB

I found some things. On Exhibition team selection screen, team name (over the jerseys), Tampa Bay is located in hockey.exe on address: 1079360. All other teams are near there. You can see that TAMPA BAY is now COLORADO.
Also, from sports central, menu selection Game->Game, team shortening is stored in TB's case on address: 1079149. All other teams are again near there. I put CL there, not COL, because there is very likely some kind of checksum and size of the hockey.exe should not change.
I could not find where team name shortening is stored for team selection buttons on exhibition game team selection, on bottom of the screen. It still shows TB there:

I dont know. Maybe that text is in graphics, not as characters in file...
