McMarkis Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Disable / Reduce frequency of the puck hitting the posts Problem: Reduce the Insane amount of times the puck hits the post in SNES. Solution: There are a few things you can do: Remove the check to see if the puck hits the cross bar or post, this results in a goal when it normally would hit the post. Keep the check but make the cross bar height higher and or the side posts further out. Keep the Crossbar check but skip the posts check. This would probably be the best balance if you still want some posts in the game. Technical Details: The code below is executed when the puck is about to go into the net. As mentioned above there are a few hacks you can apply. Code: Hijacking the code at this location; we can jump to the goal logic (jmpToGoalLogic) and skip all the post checks. (Always a goal, no post) Changing this value from #$000D to a larger hex value (000F) will make the crossbar height higher (Not visually just in code) Changing this value from #$0012 to a larger hex value (0014) should make one side of the net wider (Not visually just in code) Changing this value from #$FFEF to a smaller hex value (FFEB) should make the other side of the net wider (Not visually just in code) New Code: I simply chose option 1; to skip all the logic that checks if the post was hit, and always jump to the Goal Logic. I have included that patch in the tool and the Hex example below.

Unfortunately no, this logic happens after the game has decided the puck is going in the net. I still have to find the code for shooting and goalie save logic. But anything that was going to hit the post will now be a goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
