Alright guys. It's time for one of MModano's world famous NHL 02 guides. Today we will focus on making arenas.
Let's first, assuming you have the arenapc.viv file (It is found in the gamedata folder) open in EA Graphics Editor
Scroll down and you will see icex_xx (replace xx with number from the following list):
00: Anaheim
01: Atlanta
02: Boston
03: Buffalo
04: Calgary
05: Carolina (The focus of this tut)
06: Chicago
07: Colorado
08: Columbus
09: Dallas
10: Detroit
11: Edmonton
12: Florida
13: Los Angeles
14: Minnesota
15: Montreal
16: Nashville
17: New Jersey
18: NY Islanders
19: NY Rangers
20: Ottawa (10th Aniversary Ice)
21: Philadelphia
22: P***nix
23: Pittsburgh
24: St. Louis
25: San Jose
26: Tampa Bay
27: Toronto
28: Vancouver
29: Washington
30-34: All Star Teams.
Now, the first part of this is obviously center ice logos.
Step 1 is to extract L256, which is center ice. Save as hfdice.jpeg (Since we are changing it to Hartford's logo, which you can google for).
Next, take the logo into photoshop and copy the background layer. After you do this, take the Quick Select tool (If your on CS3) and click everyhwhere theres black. Press delete. Presto. Background gone.
Next, cut the rest of the LOGO. Leave the red lines around the logo.
After that, put the ice logo on. The key here is to put it in game, and keep stretching/skewing until it shows up facing north to south in game. Best way to do this is avoid adding any text.
My result:
Now is the optional part. You can edit ad1 and ad2, as I have.
My result:
As you notice, the NHL 2002 and NHLPA logos were replaced by "Hartford Civic Center" which I hand typed and an old New England Whalers logo that I found on google.
Alright. That's it for now. My next tut will cover scoreboard editing.
Hope it helped and enjoy your new ingame mods!!
