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.

Playoff overimes now follow the actual period length. Maybe the biggest improvement.

You can set the penalty time to whatever you want. I use 1 minute.

Vod, I installed the game once again in my new laptop and Launcher doesn't seem to be working again. It launches the game normally, I can play, but no launcher features are activated, like Upper Ads, FOV, Screenshots. Any clue?

FYI: I had a save of the whole NHL 2004 folder which was fully working in my last PC and copied the folder over a fresh install of NHL 2004. When I saw Launcher wasn't working, I downloaded the Launcher one more time, deleted old Launcher files and installed it again. It didn't work as well.

Regards,

Nope. Launcher is not initiating. No logs created.
I mean, it works but just like the regular nhl2004.exe.

It sounds like something is blocking the injection of launcher.dll. You'll have to go through your security software to see what's blocking it. Also make sure launcher.dll hasn't been deleted.

Vod, do you know if it's possible to change the pre-game video that's played before every match? Not changed completely, but let's say i only want to use the "second" one, where the players march on the ice (like in this video), could it be done somehow? IMO that's the most realistic one, and is closest to what would be seen in an actual live sending of a match.

Sure, but I don't know how to do it yet. I haven't looked into the cutscene engine much, but I plan to eventually.

Having a bit of an issue after launching the launcher on WIndows 7 (I also tried it with antivirus/firewall disabled, running it in XP compatability mode): I can't click on any of the buttons on the left of the launcher. It opens up to the display default but nothing happens when I click on game/physics/misc/compatability/modding. I can change the options on the default display page (resolution, v-sync, FOV modifier, etc) but just can't actually click on any of the other options on the sidebar.

It also won't let me close it by pressing the x button unless I close it manually in task manager although the minimize button works. The Launch NHL 04 button works fine.

Thanks for the feedback. The launcher uses an IE web control at the moment, but that will change in the future. My guess is it's some sort of permission problem preventing javascript from executing.

I have IE uninstalled or disabled I guess on my Win 7, would that be the cause and are future versions going to be without the need for that or would I need IE/Java working properly to get it going?

Hey, I'm having a weird issue - once I click "Launch NHL 2004", the launcher freezes and nothing happens.

I ran the interface.exe file, and installed everything for rebuilt. Launcher 1.45 ran fine with it.

I decided to give 1.5 a go, and it freezes.

Running compatibility mode in XP SP3 + admin for both launcher.exe and nhl2004.exe. It looks like I have the rebuilt nhl2004.exe, file size 4000+kb.

I've copied the contents of the Launcher folder to NHL 2004, looks like this:
/NHL 2004/launcher.exe + .dll files
/NHL 2004/launcher/ + its contents

Running Windows 10, amd 390 graphics card.

I'll keep troubleshooting, but I'm not sure what's wrong. If anyone can help, thanks in advance.
