Winter Classic Rink v4

Another step closer to putting the Ralph in 08. This is an edit of the default mini-game outdoor rink to be Winter Classic worthy.

V4 changes:
- Real grandstands and seats under fans! The model is based on Pittsburgh's arena, as it was the best looking outdoor setup I could find.
- Upper ads based on real Ralph Wilson Stadium sponsors.
- Snowflake design on back of boards.

Features
- Will overwrite your mini-game rink. It will not affect any team's primary home arena.
- Can be used as rink for any team. Enabling/Disabling requires changing only one value in NHLview.
- Winter Classic ice, puck, boards, and pre-game spotlights.
- Other misc. improvments.

If you have not installed DT's board pack for this season, your boards many not look right, so download his!

Full instructions for installation, use, and backup can be found in the readme.

Only tested in 08 for XP. May not work in older versions/Vista.

Winter Classic Rink v4 has been updated!

Text only. Added an explanation about international ice.

thinkfast

yeah i knew that but if u want to use original ice and boards it will cut of the ice on the sides ofcouse and also it will mess up the board doors

CgyFlames

So just use the Winter Classic boards and ice that are included. A lot of things can get messed up if you go outside the addon's intended purpose, but I can't take responsibility for all that.

Hey CgyFlames, I'm using your addon, and most of it worked out great, but the ice itself hasn't been replaced. I'm using the addon over top of one of the custom teams (the one with the pirate flag for a logo) right now, but I do have the AAID set to 127, and the rink set to NHL. Still, the ice is a big, stretched out NHL one with the pirate logo in the middle, instead of the Winter Classic ice. Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Thanks for any help you can give me.

CgyFlames

I'm not sure how it reacts to custom teams, but here's 2 things to try out...

1) Load it up with your custom team and see whether the puck has the Wnter Classic logo if it's the regular one.

2) After that, try it with a regular team and see if the puck and ice come up correctly.

Again, I've never tried it with custom teams, but my experience tells me that an addon not working the same when custom teams are involved is not uncommon. Let me know what your results are.

I set it to Detroit instead, and it works fine now. Too bad it doesn't work with custom teams though. The puck was fine for the custom though, as was the rest of the arena. Just the rink was all sideways and stretched. It's weird, because it wasn't like the winter classic rink was sideways and stretched, it was the NHL08 rink, with the custom team's logo in the centre.

it works in vista

It's because the custom team's ice isn't using the right template for the ice format that the winter classic rink uses.

But even of it wasn't a template issue, it still doesn't react the same. If you play with Buffalo as the home team, for example, you don't see their ice, you see the special winter classic ice. With custom team's though, you still see your club's regular ice. I understand why this is, but it's not worth explaining.
