Cassels21 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Currently working on a WHA 77-78 season hack of NHLPA 93. I've got 6 of the 8 teams done (Quebec and Winnipeg left to finish, but I've got the jerseys), complete with jerseys. The only thing I need help with is the banners, which haven't been figured out yet in 93 as far as I know. Theonly reason I prefer 93 to 94 for this is because of the fighting. Gotta get those Carlson brothers fights, y'know. Anyone have any input as to how I should fill in the other teams in the rom? Other suggestions? I have some screenshots, but for some reason I can't attach them. Admins? Mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassels21 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 All 8 teams and ratings 100% finished. Winnipeg and Quebec probably have the best team ratings, New England, Edmonton, and Houston are good, Birmingham and Cincinnati below average, and Indianapolis is terrible. Highest overall rated players: Marc Tardif (QUE) 94 OA Real Cloutier (QUE) 92 OA Mark Howe (NE) 90 OA Ulf Nilsson (WPG) 88 OA Anders Hedberg (WPG) 88 OA Bobby Hull (WPG) 85 OA Andre Lacroix (HOU) 85 OA Serge Bernier (QUE) 82 OA Kent Nilsson (WPG) 81 OA Robbie Ftorek (CIN) 79 OA Al Hamilton (EDM) 75 OA Gordie Howe (NE) 75 OA I need a little help editing the Opening Screen (I just want to change it to say WHA 78 instrad of NHLPA 93), the team ratings (a little lazy to find, I forgot where they are) and the banners (might not be possible). I also think that I should fill the extra teams somehow. I can't find any All Star team information, other than it was Quebec vs the All Stars and Marc Tardif and Mark Howe were the co-MVPs. Anyway, should I release as-is, or keep on truckin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addisonbr Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I always care about the new ROMs people put out, but I'm utterly useless in terms of giving advice - I'm the furthest thing you'll find from a ROM hacker around here. I drink the beer, but I can't make it. That said, I think this is a great project. I'm not exactly sure how you should fill in the extra teams, but my advice is to have fun with them instead of striving for some sort of authenticity. Make an awesome, all-star caliber team. Make a team that's worse than the worst expansion team on the original ROM. Make a team full of 99 speed guys who fall over when you breathe on them (all skinny guys from NES Hockey). Make a team full of bruisers slower than molasses but who are terrors on the ice (all fat guy from NES Hockey). Make some balanced teams. Give your audience some really cool options for who to play against, instead of killing yourself to replicate all real teams. I think you've already knocked that out with the 8 teams you've done. To post the screen shots, my advice is to use imageshack.us or tinypic.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassels21 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Sweet idea on the fun teams. Maybe about 17 or so of the guys aroud here ate NHL94.com want to be on a team. Anyone want in, post here or PM me. No god players please (between 48-72 OA would be good for anyone.) Figuring on a Goon Squad (McSorley, Domi, Probert, Twist, Ray, etc.) as one of the teams.

77 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 not a lot you can do with graphics for 93, till we can have an uncompressed version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassels21 Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Just a quick question: Does anyone know how to make the puck red or blue. I've messed aroung in TM and the closest I could get was pink and ice blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassels21 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 OK, the new status is that it's going to be a 2 season rom, WHA 77 and WHA 78. It'll be a few days before release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveyzerman Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Awesome, I have always wanted to play a WHA hack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassels21 Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Status: Slow but steady. Complete: 1977-78 Season Rosters and Uniforms for all 8 teams. 1976-77 Season Uniforms for all teams, Birmingham, Calgary and Cincinnati rosters. To come: Rest of 1976-77 Rosters, Modified rating for Matchup Screen. Need Help On: Making the puck blue or red, All Star Teams, Banners (Not Possible at present time), Replacing Ron Barr with a WHA announcer (any ideas?), and any feedback ideas.

Evan Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I haven't really done any hacking recently, though I would guess that to change the puck color you'd have to use a color from the rink pallette. That's why you probably get pink, ice color, etc because you're using the rink pallette. There isn't a blue in that pallette? Never opened the '93 Rom in a hex/app editor, but I would imagine you can change rink pallette colors once you found the offset. Hope that helps in some way, -Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
