Nowhere Near New Idea!! [Non-Player Pictures]

Post by sjsharkz »

Well im not too sure if its a new idea, but after winning the stanley cup, Ron Wilson got coach of the year, and i clicked on his profile, and saw that staff can have images too, so i was wondering if anyone could perhaps make an image for each head coach in the NHL? Just an idea

Somebody (I'm guessing D88 since he does so many facepacks but I could be wrong) did one for an older version of EHM before. I remember reading somewhere that this version of EHM really messes that up because many of the staff birth dates aren't coded into the database. They're changed each time you start a game. Just like a lot of coaches get different attributes each time you start a game. It's a shame because it would be great to have a non-player pack for use in the game.

Yeah i just googled a Ron Wilson image, and changed the size etc, and saved his name and DOB in the right folder,and it didnt work, so im guessing your right about the non coding of staff.. oh well, was just a thought.

Well, Iam sorry to say that, but the idea isnt new at all :-D

As a matter of fact there is a huge facepack available in the EHM05 section with over 500 staff pictures!!!

Here the link:Staff facepack

I use them in EHM07 since day one and they work fine!!!

Edit: just read your post Bruins72: as I said, I use them in the 07 game and it can be that some birthdatas have changed, but as u go on with the game u will find out and u simply have to change it in the picturename....not a big deal really!!!

There is also another thread about non-player pictures some 20 threads down from this one. Try to see if somethings been covered before you post about it; and yes you've been able to do staff pictures since the first SI version of EHM.
