Uploaded version 1.4

Version 1.4

  • Created basic a in-game text console for displaying messages
  • F12 takes a screenshot and saves it to My Documents\NHL 2004.
  • Control + F12 will take a screenshot without displaying the text overlay.
  • F11 now toggles FPS display
  • F9 and F10 decreases and increases the FOV by 5
  • Added CreateLog launcher.ini setting. Setting this to 1 will create a log file called "Launcher Log.txt" in the main NHL 2004 folder.
  • Added HighPriority launcher.ini setting. Setting this to 1 will set the priority of NHL 2004.exe to high
  • Added DynastyStartYear launcher.ini setting (only works with NHL2004.exe version 1.4)
  • Added a couple performance fixes.
  • Added LUA support

Setting the fights per game requires some testing and will be included in version 1.41, which I plan on releasing in a few days.

Do you want me to upload the interface package now, or only after 1.41.

PS: Are you aware that there is already the unlimited fighting patch by Egorgiy? It's included in the package.

It might be a good idea to hold off for a few days before including it, in case bugs pop up.

About the fight patch:
His mod requires patching NHL2004.exe, which changes the checksum. This makes a similar modification, but in memory instead. Also this doesn't just set the fighting to unlimited, it also allows you to set the maximum amount of fights per game. I don't want to have to worry about too many checksums, so I think this is the best solution since it doesn't modify NHL2004.exe.

Cool. Would it be possible to make the gameclock visible when the fight suggestion is on?

That's very annoying when it goes hiding... especially if you have more fighters dressed and use the unlimited patch. <FIGHT> icon pops up constantly and the clock isn't visible.

Almost anything is possible. Time is the most limiting factor; reverse engineering tends to be a slow process, especially if it's only one person.

Great new version (especially as I can take screenshots again). The only thing I would be a little nitpicky about is using F9 as this short-cut changes the strategy too (I don't know if this has really an effect to the game).

That can easily be changed. What keys do you think would be better?

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?

Tried the new launcher and played a little bit with FOV changer
great
The negative FOV is a bit strange... (Upsidedown)
but here are some screens (I just could pick a goalie fight)

Wow, those are awesome!!! I really like the 3rd one, with some experience changing the FOV on the fly, it could really give some great variety to season reports!

here is a wide angled fight

PS : The action camera with wide angle is absolutely INCREDIBLE for breakaways :good:


EDIT : I just noticed the timing on the scoreboard during the fight and on the penalty screen : a 3 minutes little dance
