Okay... oddball can handle the v2 interface upload. The defaults are 1 minute penalty length and FOX shot meter. What else? I'd love to see the random FOV there as well. Please include all good things and upload the v2 base interface. For v1 I recommend the same 1 minute penalties. What else? Please take care of the interface uploads tonight. I would just screw things up. ![]() Just remember to download the absolutely LATEST version of the interface for both. v1 had some arena name changes recently. |

Sence can probably handle v1 release? |

So you would like the interface downloads to include a launcher.ini and maybe some other scripts like the FOX Trax shot speed? The only issue with including a launcher.ini is that every person's PC is different, and setting things such as random FOV may be beneficial to one person, but detrimental to another's system if a cutscene decides to play an extremely zoomed out FOV. Not to mention that FOV is subjective based on the resolution and monitor type (i.e. 16x9 vs. 4:3). Including scripts also requires a re-check with each launcher update to make sure the syntax is still correct. |

If we add a launcher.ini to a interface.exe, users will lose their personal launcher settings. Right? The file will always overwrite already existing launcher.ini which contains those personal settings. |

That's correct. It's best to leave launcher.ini out of mods. The launcher will create the file if it doesn't exist. |

Ok. Just upload the package with all necessary files. I'll download it then and make a new archive base for myself (for future uploads). I just want it upped and I think I'd screw up something with the folders etc. |

I don't understand what you are requesting, did you want our custom scripts uploaded for people to use? If so, I already uploaded the updated FOX Trax shot speed here, just extract to your base NHL 2004 install directory: http://www.mediafire.com/download/o998y41m...peed_FOXTrax.7z![]() These scripts should be kept separate from any interface downloads so users can decide whether or not they want them, and so they can be updated separately should the launcher change things in future releases. |

I recommend that we put only a basic launcher files to interface package and custom scripts to a recommended downloads section. Launcher is in a beta testing mode at the moment and it will be updated quite often, so it would need also a custom scripts updates quite often if they're in the interface package. @Zeropucks: Thanks for the update.

Although I'm trying to avoid it, there may be another update that requires deleting certain files or folders. If it's included in a full conversion mod, people will just overwrite without deleting anything. So it's probably a good idea for people to just manually install the launcher for now. It's up to you guys though. |

Trent and ZeroPucks: We need a new dittypacks for a launcher 1.5. At least goal songs. For now the old dittypack in a mp3 format is not loud enough. Also 90s mods doesn't have songs at all so people cannot test a new dittymachine. Of course they can add their songs but we wanted to give some realism, right?

Do we want to keep the old version 1.45 in the interface? ![]() @Sence: Feel free to make the new ditties. But the ditties should be 60-70% organ like in the real NHL. Many ditty pack makers just put their favorite songs there and there's very little organ. That doesn't resemble real hockey games very well, imho. The official ditty pack has plenty of most typical organ tunes. |

Launcher 1.5 is still a Beta, is it not? If so, there are many parts that may change including folders and file structures. If users are simply extracting new beta releases over their current directories, they would have leftover folders and files that would still exist, increasing the chances of something going wrong. I think it's best to leave 1.45 in the current interface downloads, and leave 1.5 as an option for people to use, with the disclaimer that it is still in Beta and things are subject to change. As for ditties, I've always stated that my V1 and V2 ditty packs are personal and were never meant to replace the official ditties. That said, I can have mp3 versions of them ready to download in a few days for anyone who wants them, I just need to zip and upload them from my computer. trent, I believe Sence was requesting an official remastered V2 ditty pack with the goal songs and organ tunes. If I am reading his post correctly, the current one in the .asf format is not loud enough when converted to mp3 format. I was wondering if the official V2 songs already existed in mp3 to make a new release easier without having to transcode from one lossy format to another. |

Ok. Cool. I wasn't referring to you with the Ditties. It's the same thing with most ditty packs. They don't resemble actual hockey games very well when there's little or no organ. Personally I don't love those age old same organ tunes, either... they bore me to death actually... but that's what they play in those games. ![]() I don't have those ditties in mp3 format anymore. Someone could make a new v1 ditty pack. I could reconstruct a new one for v2 in the summer (before my new v2 season). @JJ: Install 1.5. There's PLENTY of great stuff... like ability to create random FOV cutscenes and set penalty time (reduce the 2 min realtime), etc. |
