	Hi fellas

I'm into modding for several years, I make mods for basketball games since 2010. I wanted to take a try at NHL games as I joined my college's ice hockey team.

While viewing some retro uniforms of NHL teams, I saw this 1999 Rangers alternate and took a try.

Shorts and gloves look same with dark blue version of this Lady Liberty uniform, I placed them from NHL 90's mod

	Nice job. But these are already in the 1998-1999 mod. All done. Here's Mathieu Schneider chatting with Bill McCreary. :)

	Guys, did you ever checked the structure of scoreboard? I mean, editing the position of numbers, etc?

I extracted 2 clock.fng files from overlay viv. At first they don't mean much but I opened the files at Hex Editor, then saw this:

One of the files represent the scoreboard image. Other one represents team name, score, time positions.

I'll upload the files there so anyone who can work on this make some progress, as they know what files represent.

Clock1.fng -> name, score, time, powerplay positions
Clock2.fng -> scoreboard image position

	Franco can edit the scoreboards almost every way possible.

Franco is busy with v1 though. I could use some help with a few v2 scoreboards. Like Buffalo Auditorium, USAir Arena and Philly Spectrum. They could use some fine tuning.

PS: Warm welcome to the forum! :good:

The one at top left

NBA Live 2004 uses fng files for arrangement of these too. I worked with them and had great results

	Launcher will soon support the genuine looking modern, long gameclocks. See here.

	To expand on that a bit, you should check out the lua scripting feature of launcher 1.5. You can do much more with a launcher script than you can by editing the fng files with a hex editor. :)

	I couldn't do anything yet for scoreboard.

But I found various fonts that can be used in future. All in ffn formats so these can be used straight in game, for future gameclock projects.

These are extracted from EA's other sports games like FIFA (2003), MVP Baseball (2004,2005) and NBA Live (2003,2004)

I can find more ffn files to be used, if necessary

here's the first batch

enjoy
