Edit: Here is also a good example of the default value distortion, sounds horrible. First is the default values, after is my modified values. Default in many tracks is just this kind of a horrible mess.

Thanks for the contribution. :) I'll make those the default values and add you to the credits. My goal was to simulate the low quality arena music you would hear in a live broadcast. Here's an example:
https://youtu.be/T3IfK2I7SOg?t=23m12s. Needless to say, I was pretty far from the mark. :P

Update:
The next version has a lot more variables to tweak. There is now a separate "Arena" category in the GUI where you can tweak ice positions such as the blue line, goal line, faceoff positions, ice width and ice length. There's also more physics variables like puck elasticity, board friction, goalie/saucer/regular pass multipliers, skating speed and so on. When the widget library is finished, I'll be developing an in-game editor that will allow you to tweak those variables in realtime, as well as many other things like roster, stats, textures, models and so on.

Another feature I've been working on is a mod system that follows a load order (think Elder Scroll games). Right now mods are just a zip file. As long as the path within the zip file is valid, it will load files from there. So let's say you wanted to make a mod with a single user script, you would create the lua file and put it launcher\scripts\user within the zip file instead of the launcher folder. That will apply to all file types, including textures and sounds. If it matches the filename of a file in the launcher folder, it will ignore the file in the launcher folder and only load it from the zip file. That way a mod can replace existing files without having to actually overwrite them. Large zip files would be slow, so I will eventually create a faster file format that's more appropriate for this usage.

After the next update, I plan to make more frequent releases. A lot of cool stuff is on the way :tup:

idk if its a problem in launcher but ingame in a match when i wanna change to another player or pass (for me its "s") it isnt responding properly like its delayed or something .... pressing pressing nothing... then i press for the 3rd time and it responds ..... other keys are alright

another thing is my mouse pointer in the game is like "out of position" like i must point it a few centimeters more down to have the text highlighted (from white to yellow)... thats mainly in the ingame menu ... also i cant control the replay buttons with mouse it doesnt do anything

is there a solution to all these problems?

That's not a launcher bug. Check for scaling settings in windows or your GPU control panel. Does this happen if you run the game using nhl2004.exe?

That gameclock was a proof of concept that was never finished because I didn't have time or patience to make a POG for every team. So it only would have worked with CHI home and STL away. If I'm reverse-engineering, developing the launcher GUI, maintaining the lua scripting engine, fixing bugs and doing everything else, that leaves little time for me to also write scripts and create art. Lua scripts have all of the functions they need for an artist to make game clocks.

Here's the thread requesting artists: http://z15.invisionfree.com/NHL04Rebuilt/i...?showtopic=5088

So you are still just looking for pogs? If you send me one and tell me what font to use I can make the other 29...

NBC doesn't use that gameclock anymore. I'm looking for at least one complete gameclock.

I ran the nhl2004.exe and the mouse was alright but the gameplay was on a small window i think bc of the resolution set in display menu .... the passing with "s" was ok but not perfect.

Just arena textures for now. Cybers and Jerseys require special code that will be in a future update.

That's fixed in the next version, but I'll upload just the fix shortly so you don't have to wait until the next version.

A little bug I think that I have encountered. When I get a penalty with Penalty time = 10; and Last minute timer = 30; it seems that the effects stack making the last minute realllyyy slow. Is it supposed to be like that, one second in gameplay was actually one real second during that time.

no problems without the launcher.

Antialiasing is a performance killer. Even 2X is fine for a game like this. Anisotropic filtering on the other hand can be set to 16x for most systems without a performance impact

@PAV1983
Not the current version because of a bug. The next version allows you to select a mod in the GUI
