Website Refresh

Posted on Updated on by Artem KhassanovCategories:General

I think it was time for a little update to the website look. Now that Google takes mobile friendliness into ranking account, it was necessary to make changes. The refreshed Bootstrap-based look is nothing to write home about, but at least the site does not look like it was built in 1980…

Progress Update 2015/02

Posted on Updated on by Artem KhassanovCategories:NHLView, NHLView PS3/Xbox 360

Recently, I received a bunch of encouragement and appreciation emails. I thank you all for taking time to express your gratitude. I have not posted many updates lately even though I have quite a few new features being worked on in parallel for the next version of NHLView NG. Most of this is due to this little person who takes surprisingly large amount of time.

I want to assure you that it is my absolute intention to release the next version of NHLView NG as soon as I get around to complete it. In the meantime, I thank you for your patience and offer you the following screenshots from the next version:

NHL 15 Support

Posted on Updated on by Artem KhassanovCategories:General, NHLView PS3/Xbox 360

The structure of NHL 15 roster files for PS3 and XBox 360 is 100% the same as that of NHL 14. It appears that this year’s game received no active development and EA is concentrated on PS4 and XBox One for which the editor will not come any time soon. While I prepare the official release of NHLView NG supporting NHL 15, you can use the following walkaround to open the rosters in the current version. Add the lines below at the end of games.conf file located in NHLView NG folder:

; NHL 15

TDBAccess 3.0

Posted on Updated on by Artem KhassanovCategories:Other NHL Tools
  • While the new version of NHLView NG is in the works, I’m making available a new version of TDBAccess Library which will allow you make your own applications that read and write all TDB database from previous PC and the current PS3 and XBox 360 NHL games. The added functions to handle console games still require external programs (pfdtool for PS3 and Horizon or similar for XBox 360). The library comes with two example projects, one in Delphi another in Visual Basic .NET. The new version 3.0 is not backward compatible with previous version 2.7. While all the old functions kept their parameters intact, all the strings are now 2-byte Unicode instead of 1-byte ANSI. Download the new version if you are interested in Developer Tools section.
  • I know a lot of you are waiting for the next version of NHLView NG. Let me assure you, it’s in the works and coming in not too distant future.
