statto Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hello all, I was wondering if there's anyone out there who has hex edited NHL94 team and bar colors, and if there are bytes which determine the number of letters in the [ QUEBEC ] bar (for instance) on the main screen. I've been able to change Hartford and Winnipeg to Carolina and Phoenix, but Colorado in place of Quebec (and changing one of the allstar teams to AllStars as opposed to All Stars) throws everything afterward off. All I've done successfully so far is change the team and arena names; I've figured out player statistics and such; and I might replace the All Star teams with Minnesota and Nashville (Columbus and Atlanta... sigh... they're not "real" franchises yet). I know there are palette editors and such, will have to take a look at those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do. Does he still play? I got the Coyotes away jersey but cannot figure out the home jerseys for the life of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xstioph Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I've never changed the team banners colors.. Mack did a NHL '94 hack back in 2003 where he changed the banners though: He mentioned somewhere (recently) that he had used a sprite editor or something like that to edit those. As for editing the jerseys, I use the only currently available (that I know of?) NHL '94 editor (made by "JG Games"). We should have Evan upload it on the download section. I've began writing down the jersey offset data, but never got it done. Unfortunately you cannot edit player cards on SNES, graphics are compressed and can't be viewed in the tile editors. That's a real bummer. Cool to see that there's finally someone else exploring SNES NHL '94! Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team banner colors weren't that hard to figure out at all, but I'm pulling my hair out over the uniforms. Is there any way to uncompress the graphics?

Xstioph Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?showtopic=5178 Doesn't really add much, but it's been discussed before. From Mack's hacks. And no, you can not really decompress the graphics. Graphics decompressors have to be custom made for each game from what I've understand (there are some for the really popular games like Zelda and SMW I think). And I think you need to know Assembler programming. Might wanna check out this page as well: http://www.romhacking.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
