Hi All,
I've searched all through the forums, but decided to break down and just ask a few specific questions for problems I haven't seen answered (I'll just start separate threads to help others' searches in the future)
First thing: I cannot figure out how to properly install the beautiful Alps Hockey League arena. I've tried the old "move everything to the NHL folder, let NHLtoolbox figure it out" method, but that doesn't seem to work with arenas Based on NHLview and the game files, it seems that the Alps teams replaced Russian league teams, so I attempted to replace the "arenaRUS.big" file in gamedata with the "arenaALP.big" file renamed to "arenaRus.big", which seems to be what the ReadMe file suggests. After running the Toolbox, clicking "install addons" and so forth, when I load NHL09 and attempt to start a game with an Alps Hockey League team at home, I just get an eternal loading screen, and have to CTRL+ALT+DEL to exit the game.
Suggestions? I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking here.
