Vod,

My 1998-1999 Flyers season has been a great testing ground. I strongly suggest these as the default launcher values.

Penalty timer: 10 (means 1 minute penalties). Perfect for stats (PP% and PK% go along with CPU teams, in ultra-realistic manner)
OT Time = 6 (Runs like a 6 minute period which is the AI default. I even went to second OT in my testing playoff season. Maybe the biggest improvement of them all. Playoff OT's are now like real extra periods as they should.)
Last minute timer = 29

My testing suggests that the Penalty Timer should be set to 15 for 1 minute penalties. 10 seems to be closer to 45 seconds. Can anyone else confirm either finding?

Thanks Trent and Zero. Ideal values may differ from system to system based on the resolution of the system clock. The timing in NHL 04 can use a lot of work.

And also, I loved the 1.45 ability to FOV zoom in / out quickly. That enabled to get much more impressive arena shots.

1.50 has veeeeeery slow FOV zoom. Moves with too small steps. Maybe add an extra button for that quick FOV change?

And is it possible for opening scene to always start from this view? It's an impressive, impressive view and gives a quick look at the whole building?

Or perhaps program the code to show this view occasionally during the cutscenes? It's beautiful... and actual TV broadcasts use this view frequently (during the breaks).

I don't plan on straying far from the default values. That's up to you guys when you include it with your mods.

Ah... forgot that one. Thanks.

I mean that view showing only occasionally, in similar fashion as the game sometimes zooms to the upper stands. I don't like too big FOV values during the cutscenes, either. But one occasional "TV broadcast" view like that per game would be amazing.

I mean sometimes I've gotten a random shot like this during the cutscenes. Sometimes it zooms to the upper stands. Those are amazing. That "full arena" random shot would be even more amazing.

NHL 17 actually starts the games with full arena view preview.

BASS_DX8_I3DL2REVERB_flDecayHFRatio = 0.83
BASS_DX8_I3DL2REVERB_lReflections = -2602
BASS_DX8_I3DL2REVERB_flReflectionsDelay = 0.007
BASS_DX8_I3DL2REVERB_lReverb = 250
BASS_DX8_I3DL2REVERB_flReverbDelay = 0.011

A lot has changed since I last played (Yeah I've been saying that a lot lately each return I make.....lol)

Vod, this is incredible, so you're telling me LUA scripting could mean updated penalties/overtimes/more?

Man it would be nice, for example, if the trapezoid in NHL 2004 Rebuilt stopped being useless and operated as it should!

With stuff like this, the game truly is in the community's hands, thanks for your tremendous work.

Pretty much anything in the game can be changed. The scripts included are basic example scripts that barely scratch the surface of what's possible. :)
