If it is a rip that used midi instrumentation, you may be able to convert it. Otherwise, you're stuck having to transcribe it yourself. hat's what I had to do with the first half of the HNIC theme as there is no sheet music or midi samples available for it. It's long and tedious. Yay, tedium.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please check the link. make sure you use the 3.11 python.exe when running the command. Also can you tell me where you got midi2nhl94.py? the github copy is midi_2_nhl94.py (https://github.com/nhl94dotcom/midi_2_nhl94) I had to create it myself by copying and pasting the script, since the script on your Github cannot be downloaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jlsegafan2001 Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Looks like something went weird with the copy/paste, as using the link to save it all of a sudden worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize github made it so difficult to download the project. I'll add a note into the Readme with the zip link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to look at the video you sent in regards to the process. For the record, "Something Good" is going to replace the title theme. This program extracts a single track (instrument) from a MIDI. They can't be combined (yet). It likely won't sound good as a main theme. It's for the organ songs (single-instrument songs). So my suggestion is to first try replacing an organ song like the Whalers song like in my video. Don't jump straight to the main theme, it will not be possible.

Jlsegafan2001 Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Ahhh, okay. I wanted to replace the main theme because that's what Drezz was able to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drezz Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 That's because I'm the man. LOL It's not the easiest thing to do, honestly. There was a lot of trial and error, and happy accidents. I had to mod smoz' script to work with the midi I created because for some reason the tempo and timing wouldn't work. I would suggest following smoz' suggestion and try a team organ first so you get the hang of it. Then you can go off-roading and explore how to fake getting more channels in there. The only other people I know of who actually changed the intro was Sean and CPLANAS. And they used stock intro music from other EA games.

Jlsegafan2001 Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Alright, I might do that when I have the patience. The whole “faking getting more channels” thing may be difficult by simply hex editing. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drezz Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I have to create a proper HOW TO on how I did it. But that will come AFTER my mod is released. I've spent too much time dinking around with changes and just want to get this damn thing done once and for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the image below, you see the start block of the NHL94 Theme (4507A) and in the highlighted area seems to be the initial "control" for the song output. 00 C0 0B 01: where, C0 = channel 0B = "instrument" [clipped...] It turns out you can put these control bytes into the organ songs to change the instruments. Grab the first ~1000 bytes of the main NHL'94 theme song and overwrite a team's main organ song, and it'll play the main theme with the right instruments. However once in a while some notes get dropped, probably because the channel is being used for certain in-game sounds like bodychecks or the crowd cheering... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drezz Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 I'm sure if you keep playing and listen you may hear music instruments instead of bodychecks LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
