NHL 14 Roster Tools

Re: NHL 14 Roster Tools

artemkh is working on a noob friendly version. I might make a tool to make it easier to pack the DB back into the SYS-DATA file for PS3.

Sadly I may have to wait for this entirely... I can't even open the DB Editor because I get a Framework error message.

You need .NET 4.0

Re: NHL 14 Roster Tools

Ok well I will try that! Can u confirm my previous hex edit question? Before I click analysis, it says highlight bytes 0X1C to the end of the file. Does that mean highlight 1c-1f so that I go all the way to the right, or do I have to start at 00x1c and drag it all the way down to the end of the file (which seems like it could take 10 min to get to the bottom).

Demolition's instructions (very helpful and detailed )

4a.) Highlight every byte in the open "Roster File" from byte 0x1C all the way to the end of the file.

You do indeed need to select all the way to the bottom of the file, but if you just select the first byte (0x1C) and then type Shift+Ctrl+End on your keyboard, it should select the rest of the file instantly (this is typical of most Windows programs that may require you to select content in a file).

I was able to do it the other night, but I haven't tried DPyro's roster tools yet.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to create more detailed instructions yet. I'd be happy to work on that this evening.

Hey, any help we can get will be greatly appreciated.

Re: NHL 14 Roster Tools

The other night, I just changed Justin Abdelkader's name to see if I could make a change in the editor and get it into the actual game. Like I said, I'll make more detailed instructions this evening and try DPyro's new roster tool.

Thanks to DPyro and all others who have helped with this proess
I can confirm that DPyro's tool works for extracting/repacking the SYS-DATA file on NHL13 for the PS3 (Awesome little tool) I am working on editing a slightly more detailed config file for the EA DB Reader/Editor. It currently has some of the fields Arena Info/Team Info/Player Info/Skater Ratings (Goalies are in different tab and haven't figured which on yet). Basically I have renamed the fields that I know so that it doesn't say things like ubPc, dxSB etc. It only works for NHL13 as the data is packed in different order between NHL13 & 14. If anyone is interested and I can figure out how to upload it I will do that for you. Let me know.

Edit - Figured it out I think. Link below

Re: NHL 14 Roster Tools

Pyro and Demolition may possibly be able to take over the world if they so desired. I don't know how u guys figured out all this stuff, but it is super-impressive. I'm trying to learn on the fly, but wish I was as good at programming as I am hockey itself! Thanks again, guys!

Re: NHL 14 Roster Tools

Ok I guess I'm at a standstill for the xbox rosters (nhl14) Now i get the invalid stfs package when trying to inject the edited roster in horizon....

time to wait for the coding genius' to show up.

All I know is I was trying to read the run box when repackaging and the offset listed is different than what shows in horizon, like I posted earlier.

Of course that could mean nothing I have no idea really.

Nice one! Thanks! That makes editing my NHL 13 rosters a lot easier.

Btw, it looks like it's possible to edit the divisions teams are in. It'll be interesting if we can get the NHL realignment added to NHL 13. Seeing as we can edit divisions and schedules, it could well be possible. I guess it depends on whether the game can cope with this.

Here are some more for you:

PLAYER INFO TAB:
dXSB = Team Contracted

ARENA TAB:
vfEq = Arena ID

TEAM INFO TAB:
City = I think this should be Team Short Name rather than City
buDa = Arena

I'm not sure which field on the Team Info tab refers to the Team ID. It seems that the Team Contracted field on the Player Info tab is Team ID + 1 because 0 seems to mean UFA rather than Anaheim.

Based on Artem's NHL 11 screenshot, here are some more tab titles for you (the abbreviations in his screenshot are reversed compared with the Generic EA DB Tool). I don't know if these are necessarily correct, but this is what Artem's screenshot suggests (the schedule tables certainly look like schedules):

puoR = Custom Palette
oEDN = Custom Team Equipment
PuTC = Custom Team Jerseys
WQzR = Czech Schedule
VoEQ = Exhibition Free Agents
mHuy = Exhibition Goalie AI
fMVI = Exhbition Goalie Equipment
ZBac = Exhibition Players
eGlu = Exhibition Rosters
xmja = Exhibition Skater Equipment
EeYo = Exhibition Team Strategies
QQBR = Finnish Schedule
hxjN = German Schedule

Also, I think wcSL is the Retired Numbers tab:
dXSB = Team (presumably dXSB is always Team ID as it matches the abbreviation from the Player Info Tab)
JFiY = Retired Jersey Number

Ahh, man, this is good stuff. We need someone to do this for NHL 14 as well. This tool is amazing. Going to be a game changer, literally.
