-
- WHAT'S NEW
- v3.1 4/15/96 -Players added to All-Star Teams now have correct pictures.
- -Fixed bugs with GUI. Some of the data was not displayed
- correctly for some reason.
- -Minor changes in the coding of certain functions.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- v3.0 4/10/96 -I changed the entire structure of the editors and now they
- have a much improved GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE. The arrow
- keys now control the editors. I found that this makes
- them MUCH easier to use and much, much more efficient.
- -Added Shooting Range into the Player and Free-Agent editors.
- -New, GUI for Main Menu. Nice, pretty colors, too.
- -Basically, everything's new in this version!
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 3/8/96 -Removed the remnants of the TAI-PAN.438 virus. YIKES!!!
- (Scanned and Cleaned with Mcafee Virus Scan 2.28)
- FYI, the virus didn't do anything and it just hid
- itself in the .EXE files. I virus checked all of the
- editors before I uploaded them and then I tested them
- on another machine which we originally thought was
- clean... Well, that's the last time I trust my friend.
- Sorry if I scared anybody! Anyway, this Version of the
- editors (v2.0) is VIRUS-FREE and I also made some other
- improvements. Time to go beat the sh** out of my friend!
- -The Free-Agent editor now supports up to 31, yes 31 total
- players. This, as I found out, is the maximum number
- of created players that the game supports.
- -The All-Star editor now supports the 31 Free-Agent/Created
- players just like the Free-Agent Editor does.
- -Changed a few bytes in the allocation of data when you put a
- new player on an All-Star team. You should now be
- able to put any player in any slot on either of the
- two All-Star teams and have it work. (Allocation of
- the data was a little tricky for the All-Star slots!)
- Unfortunately, changing the players' pictures is still
- a bit tricky and I'm now working on that. Yes, that
- means that, right now, you can't change the pictures
- of the All-Stars. Whaaah, go cry to mommie!!!
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 3/6/96 -All of the Editors, along with the Main Menu, may now be
- found together in one file called NBA96ED1.ZIP.
- I found this to be an easier way to distribute
- all of the files and make sure nobody misses
- out on anything.
- -Well, I decided to include a Main Menu to facilitate
- using all of the editors and to better manage
- the files and changes. You'll want to run that
- instead of the other, individual editors.
- -The Free-Agent Editor (v2.0) now supports 20 players.
- I think that there may be more, but I'll look
- into that...
- -I added the soon-to-be-famous All-Star Teams Editor(v1.0)
- which allows you to put any existing player
- (including Free-Agents) onto the All-Star teams.
- All pictures, ratings, and stats show up correctly
- for the players added to the All-Star teams.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- **** NBA LIVE 96 PLAYER EDITOR v3.1 ****
-
- This Player Editor will allow you to change any of the attributes
- for all of the existing players in the game. The editor has the
- ability to change:
-
- * First Names, Last Names, Nicknames
- * Date of Birth, Place of Birth (yes they're in there!)
- * All stats for the previous year
- * All player ratings, including Stamina
- * Jersey #, Height, Weight, Appearance, Skin Color
- * I'm sure I forgot something, but I'll find it...
-
- NOTE: As for this year's rookies, their stats will show up as 0's.
- If you want to edit the rookies so that they perform as they
- really do this year, just input this year's NBA stats for
- the rookies as their player stats for last year.
- (Just replace all the 0's with this year's stats...)
