Yeah, that's where I am stuck too. You change one mask and others change too. Anyone out there know if the change is possible?

The mini helmet screen is a bit of a puzzle due to the graphical limitations on the nes. In general on the nes on any one screen you can have:

 

1. 12 background tile colors, 12 sprite color tiles,  1 screen bg color. 

2. You can only use 3 of the 12 colors in a 4 tile x 4 tile area for BG tiles ( one special mapper lets you set the 3 color set for each tile). 

3. Sprites can access any of the 12 colors but only 3 of the 12 per tile. 

 

So for the mini-helmet screen you really need to plan things out in total and not just edit one by one because there are facemasks drawn using each one of the 3 color sets.

This picture shows the screen with only the BG tiles drawn, only the sprite tiles drawn, and the BG color set for each area of the screen

There is way  fix but it takes a bit of programming to add pointers to special sprite facemask tiles that only those CLE and DET use. Each team would need its own entry The but this requires expanding the current special sprites table and then updating the reference to that table.

Whoa...just a bit over my head. It sounds like the effort required to make this happen is daunting, not to mention if it can even be done. I thought it was something like being able to point the facemask the Raiders are using on the Lions and the Browns just editing the color. Boy was I wrong. So would this be an effort in futility to even attempt?

Yes. He just told you it wouldn't work. lol

 

Kinda figured, was grasping for any hope. Oh well, it's not the end of the world, the big helmets are rcorrect for the Lions, Browns and Rams now. I can't imagine the nightmare it would be if the NFL ever switched to 'alternate' helmets:

hey, thanks for tweaking these colors, what hacks are applied to this rom?  I would like this version without any extra stuff/hacks that goes beyond the original intent/post of this thread applied....for example, I am not interested in the "no flicker" hack.

 

edit----whoops looks like you have st louis rams!

You guys might be way over complicating the mini helmets.  Detroit already uses the grey color so just remove the special byte that places the black facemask and instead use the standard grey facemask.  Cleveland has Black for the dark brown so if you recolor the tiles it should be good.  No need for changing pointers and such.  I got the following in just minutes.

Hmm when i was messing with the Det one I thought it still ended up changing another but I must have been wrong that works to make Det grey.

 

 

I think Cle was the main problem as to give them a brown facemask you had to create a special byte for them to overlay a brown mask tile because there was no brown as part of the current bg pal being used only orange. Or you'd have to make the helmet and facemask the same color.

I tired applying this patch to the game and the screen went black when I entered the team data main screen. Did anyone else have this happen as well?

I noticed that the playbooks on the current base (one from download link in the first post) are mixed up.  For example the QB bootleg run that’s normally in slot 4 is now in slot 2.

 

Is there a version where the plays are in their original slots?  I saw a few posts up with some updates to helmets and names etc, and that version seems to have correct plays in slots.

 

Also is there a list of what hacks are on this rom (in original post link)?  (Tapmeter, flicker, PA/PC, etc.)?

Try this one out:

 

TBorg-Base-ROM-0817.nes

 

I used the TSB Play Maker editor to copy the original playbook over to the rom uploaded to the site. As far as what hacks are added....the only ones that should be added to this rom are the ones listed in the first post:

 

Quote

"TecmoBowl.org Base ROM" This is cx_rom's 32-team v1.05 with only the following changes:

 

1. NFC West "Offense Preference" Bug

(when playing live, heavy pass does heavy rush)
x273B4 change to x20 xB6 x9F

SET(0x273b4, 0x20b69f)
 
2. NFC West "SIM" Bugs
x27479 to x2747B should be x20 xB6 x9F (this goes to cx_rom's written code for Team 1)
x27481 to x27483 should be x20 xB6 x9F (this goes to cx_rom's written code for Team 2)
SET(0x27479, 0x20b69f)

 

SET(0x27481, 0x20b69f)
x27FCE should be xE0 (this makes it compare team value correctly)
 
SET(0x27fce, 0xe0)
 
3. Player-2 Condition Fix

SET(0x30e55, 0x20809f)
SET(0x31f90, 0xa66ee46df00218603860)

 

*regarding offense SIM and SIM calculations, for the TE to be calculated properly with SIM values
(changed the byte at x175CB from 04 to 05, see http://tecmobowl.org...ata/#entry90243)
 
4. Large Helmet Graphics
 
Keithisgood's graphics updates found here: http://tecmobowl.org/topic/53374-new-helmet-logos/
 
5. Mini Helmet Graphics
 
Keithisgood's graphics updates found here: http://tecmobowl.org/topic/53631-new-mini-helmets-logos/ (special thanks to Adam5000, & Jstout)
 
6. NFL Player Association Graphic
 
Keithisgood's graphic updates found in the above link.
 
7. AFC / NFC Pro Bowl Logo Graphics
 
Keithisgood ditto above.
 

8. Intro Scrolling Text "NFL Super Pro Football" = "NFL Tecmo Super Bowl"

 

Buck did this.

 

9. "1991 Roster" = "Team Roster" Text

 

Buck did this.

 

10. Large Helmet Graphics

 

Keith did this.

 

11. 3 NFL Logos

 

Keith did this.

 

12. Options Screen Fix

 

Keith did this.

 

Hopefully that did the trick, enjoy!
