My personal favorite and probably most impressive project for EHM 2005 returns for 007 with a bunch of new surprises!
The easiest way to describe this project is via the "a picture is worth a thousand words" method so just click on the screenshot of the news trophies here:
The first screenshot I've ever had to "degrade" with the harsh overlays so people wouldn't steal it for their sites as a cool collective image of all the NHL trophies.
This is an update of my favorite EHM 2005 project, the New Trophies. Glorious high resolution images of the fabulous NHL Trophies for use in news items each with an 'engraved' marble nameplate featuring the name of the trophy and what is awarded for. See the screenshot!
Now included as bonuses:
• Small titlebar trophy images for the NHL "Awards Room" titlepanels
• Reworked news images for NHL, AHL and ECHL featuring both the league logo and a picture of the leagues championship trophy!
• (New For 007!) All North American leagues now have custom news images for their weekly and monthly awards!
The original thread about the trophies with examples of how I created the project from source pics etc is located here if you want to check it out:
This version, for those of you who saw this one for 05, contains the images for the AHL and ECHL Rookie of the Year trophies for the Monthly Rookie of the Year awards too. Last year I had the NHL RoTM news image with an image of the Calder Trophy with "Race for the Calder Trophy" below it. Now there is one for the AHL and ECHL trophies as well
Thanks for the great comments; as I said I love this project and it was a helluva lot of work initially but it makes it feel like you actually accomplished something if at the end of the year you see the trophies with the news items.
Here's an example screenshot of the AHL Player of the Week Award:
Some of these can obviously be harder to test so if anyone sees any news that doesn't match up with the image or a news that posts without an image (like for the weekly/monthly awards) let me know but I'm pretty sure I have all the namings correct
As I mentioned when I initially worked on the NHL year-end awards sources are the major problem here and for example there are no actual pictures I've ever seen of the Roger Crozier Saving Grace trophy/award it's sponsored by a bank so for all we know there's a plaque hanging in the branch offices somewhere with names of goaltenders on it next to the "Employee of the Month" plaque and nobody notices/knows why
To get these installed, unzip the *.zip file. Then go into the unzipped folder named 'north american awards & trophies'... open the folder in there, and you should now be at a folder called 'data'. You should be able to cut or copy that folder, and then paste it in your main EHM2007 folder where there's already a 'data' folder.
NOTE: Make a backup of your original/default 'data' folder first, so you have it on hand if you need it at any time.
There is a full step-by-step readme/install file along with every one of my files that should answer all your questions and each is specific to that particular file At the top of each is a link to our 'What Goes Where' message that is also a sticky atop this forum.
