Jlsegafan2001 Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 So, NHLInfo tells me this in regards to viewing NHL 97 faces with the correct: save FACES\FACEPAL.FSH\!PAL to file with F-key to current directory (Palette file's name can be for example NHL97FACE.PAL). SHIFT+P and P should again view correct palette ...which I did. However, this error pops up when I follow these steps, because there ALWAYS seems to be some sort of error when it comes to this kind of stuff. Did I do anything wrong?

bcrt2000 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 (edited) You may not have to do all these steps but I dusted off nhlinfo after about 20 years and this is how I got palettes working: - make sure your palette file and .fsh file are in same folder as nhlinfo - open nhlinfo after you do this - before you go into the fsh file hit shift+p and set . to palette folder - now go into fsh folder, you should be able to cycle through available palettes. The image itself won’t update with the new palette, you have to save while the palette is enable to see it correctly i was able to extract the rink from NHL95 with proper palette this way Edited January 17 by bcrt2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlsegafan2001 Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 Well, to obtain the palette, I’d have to go into facepal.fsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save it as a .pal file. Just in case I would restart NHLINFO after that in case it doesn't recognize the palette file in real-time and needs to be restarted.

Jlsegafan2001 Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 (edited) Although I didn't get the error message when I was in the folder (I got the error in the fsh file, though), I wasn't able to scroll thtough the palettes.

Jlsegafan2001 Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 Since I don't have any video to go off of, I don't know what to do, as I am a visual learner. Also, this image shows us the very reason I created this thread in the first place- the cyberfaces are not supposed to look like this.

Name the file face.pal (.pal is important so NHLInfo automatically picks it up) 5. Use backspace key a few times until you are back to the NHLInfo folder 6. Press Shift+P to open palette folder selection dialog, Type in . as folder ( . means current directory) 7. Go to a face in Faces.viv. Press P until you see it select face.pal in the top status bar in NHLInfo. Don't expect the face to have the correct palette in NHLINFO, it won't. But the png file you export will. 8. Now that correct palette is selected, press S to save file with correct palette. Name the file and hit OK. 9. Now you should have a png file in your NHLINFO folder which has the face with the correct palette I haven't tried importing a face in, but I imagine you'd need to Match the existing palette since all the faces use a universal palette.

That's pretty neat. Unfortunately, the palette type did not show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I'm doing. The one you saw in the screenshot has been overwritten. I even tried with the one from the game disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcrt2000 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Well-- I showed you the steps I'm using. Not sure how much more I can help here. But it works fine for me. There's some difference here between what I'm doing and what you're doing. Just curious, what version of windows are you running? Are you trying to run this under some sort of emulation or linux wrapper perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlsegafan2001 Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 I'm trying my best to follow the steps. I'm using the latest version of Windows. This is being done on an actual machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mil84 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Any idea how to make a new cyberface for NHL 2002? I played around with EA editor but I can't make it work. I tried to edit some random player photo, and it caused app crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
