HOW TO: Fix Missing Extra Attacker Bug [SNES]


McMarkis

Recommended Posts

Problem:
There is a bug in the SNES version that prevents the extra attacker from coming on the ice if he is currently in the lineup. As a result, the extra attacker never comes on the ice when the goalie is pulled or when the other team gets a penalty.

Example: Carson is the extra attacker for L.A. If you replace Robitaille with Carson and pull the goalie, you are left with 5 skaters and no Goalie.

Solution:
On the GENS side, when editing lines, if you insert the extra attacker into your lineup, the replaced player will automatically become the new extra attacker.

Example: Carson is the extra attacker for L.A. If you replace Robitaille with Carson, Robitaille now becomes the Extra Attacker.

Technical Details:
The SNES code was performing very specific checks to prevent Forwards and Defense from swapping positions. The GENS code didn't care, so I ported a version of the GENS code to SNES.

New Code:

In your screenshot I noticed a hack I've never seen previously, "Edit Lines All Positions Hack". Has that been released or still being worked on?

Just released it, I really want to start up the Pond Hockey 3v3 proper with 1 Defense and 2 Forwards. This allows us to do that now.
