So just to be clear:
You have C:\NHL 2004\NHL 2004 (Second 'NHL 2004' folder copied from My Documents)
With the config set to:
MyDocsPath = C:\NHL 2004


If that's the case, I will check the code and see if I can find any issues.

Exactly

as you said I tried moving NHL 2004 from my docs to c:\NHL 2004 with the config set to:
MyDocsPath = C:\NHL 2004 : didn't work


I searched if it was the name or something like that so
I tried to move it to a new single folder named regular with the config set c:\regular : didn't work


PS : I run Arium (windows 7)

Nice screenshots, and thanks for the compliments. For the next major version (1.5) I'll be focusing on LUA scripting and texture/model/shader injecting, which will open countless possibilities for new mods. Being able to set the amount of fights (replaces fighting patch) will be coming next week in version 1.41. This release will also have bug fixes (if necessary).

Couple of quick questions on this program.

1) Set dynasty year?� Does that mean you can choose to start in the 2009-2010 season instead of the 2003-2004 season?� Does doing so allow you to play the full 25 years or would it be just 19 years (in the case of my example).

2) I want to use the mod, but every time I try to use the exe file that comes with the mod, I get a white screen and the game crashes.� Any idea what the problem could be?

1) It sets the starting year for dynasty mode.
2) Add CreateLog = 1 to launcher.ini. After it crashes, copy and paste the contents of "Launcher Log.txt"

Alright, so weird thing happened yesterday. Decided to try it again and it worked (!??). Downloaded the newer version of the launcher, and now I get an error which says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I get the same error if I try to run the NHL2004.exe file on its own. I checked the properties, and it's set to run as administrator and I've given full access to the file for all users so I have no idea how this could be happening.

Are you using the no-cd crack that comes with the 04 rebuilt mod? If so, can you try the 1.04 no-cd by drunk?

Code:
 

http://m0001.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_nhl_2004.shtml#NHL%202004%20v1.04%20[ENGLISH]%20No-CD/Fixed%20EXE



Sorry, I've been busy so I never really had the chance to try this. Downloaded that copy of the NHL2004.exe and I still get the same error. At the very least I don't get the same error when I try to run the game directly from nhl2004.exe.

So yeah...help? :thinking:

Great mod that finally fixed my resolution. One question though, where are the fighting options that you added? My INI file only has graphic configuration options...

The options are one the first post.

1.41.4 Released. This is a bugfix release to fix some potential issues and add more logging.

@Jedeash: Can you try again with this release? If the MyDocsPath feature doesn't work, can you enable logging and send me the log file? Thanks.

Unless any bug are reported, the next version will be 1.50. This will have LUA scripting and texture/shader injecting. If anyone has experience with memory hacking/debugging and would like to help out, please contact me. :)

A note to mod makers: Feel free to redistribute this program. This applies especially to those making complete conversions. If the launcher finds NHl2004.exe in the same folder, it will automatically set the registry key to point to that directory. If you combine that with MyDocsPath config setting, you can make completely stand-alone mods without hassle.

I sent you the log file...

I tried this new launcher on another Pc with XP pro

The only "exotic" stuff is that it is (like the other) a MAC with a Window partition (bootcamp)

Yes. It will also be possible to render new textures/models without replacing the existing ones. The scripts will eventually also have access to the coordinates of the players, game info, camera location etc. So a lot of new effects will be possible.

I will see about using a different method for replacing the my docs path which will have better compatibility. :)
