You don't need to edit the .ebo file. Load your roster files in NHLView and check 'Cage mask' for your specific player. Then EA's cage model will be loaded in the game.

Georgiev, Sorokin by Spidey (mask preview)

This is the work j4mpp4 made for last year's championship. I asked him for his permission to use his gears for IIHF cyberfaces, we he agreed to. I'll ask him if it's okay to share them with you ( stlouis26).

Quote from tinpanalley

Wow, ok. Way over my head. But in my experience, when people have made an application 10 years ago, they don't tend to reply.

No disrespect, but how many people have you contacted and asked about a piece of software they released 10 years ago? Wouldn't hurt trying.

As Steve Jobs put it "Most people never ask, and that's what separates, sometimes, the people who do things from the people who just dream about them."

Either reach out to the author of the software or get going with the virtual machine - it's easy to set up

Quote from Mechowak

Its weird it says NHL08, maybe author should update that utility or make a new one. I tried to replace the files with dll but it still gets same error message so I got it back.

You can try to contact the author. His contact info is in the readme.txt, though you may have to send him a message on LinkedIN or Twitter, since the SoMe platforms have changed quite a bit since those days. As far as I can tell, it's really simple to solve it from a compiling point of view, if you read the stackoverflow thread

Quote from tinpanalley

No, I can't. Same problem. That's why I asked in that other thread about running the program through a virtual machine.

There's an alternative solution you can try at your own risk. Found it via stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/ques…-error-hresult-0x8007000b (site currently offline for maintenance), but here's the solution from JinSnow (think that's the user who posted)

"In my case I had the 0x8007000B error because the app was running in 32 bit, on my 64 windows 7. I solved it by going in windows/syswov64 folder changing the MSVCR110.dll version 64 bit with the MSVCR110.dll version 32 bit.

(Just don't forget to put back the 64 dll after. Each time you need to run your 32 bit app, just move the dll 32 on it).

You could find the dll versions here (Unzip it before pasting into the syswov64 folder)."

Cyberface of Bob Boughner (head coach of San Jose Sharks)

Rick Bowness was made by EA.

You can pull his cyberface from the 2005 faces.viv archive 1326 - Bowness, Rick.

Maybe I'll do a quick update of EA's texture and edit in Blender if necessary.

Re-worked version of Bob Boughner (San Jose Sharks) w.i.p.

You're crediting me for a lot of cyberfaces I've never made and can't take credit for (Leivo, Maroon, Roussel etc.)

Pretty sure you meant to credit Supra for those (as well as the .ebos/textures you're pasting new faces on top of). Except for Melker Karlsson, I can tell that's Synergy's work and from when he played in the SHL.

Btw. you forgot Patrick Russell (EDM) on your list.

IIRC, these are the only NHL cybers I could have contributed:

Philipp Grubauer, Bob Boughner (going to be re-do soon), Yanni Gourde, Kasperi Kapanen, William Nylander, Zach Hyman, Rod Brind'Amour, Henrik Haapala, Anton Forsberg, Elvis Merzlikins, Connor Ingram and David Rittich.

Cyberface of David Rittich (Calgary Flames).

The gear is taken from 2019-2020 NHL GOALIE PACK 1_15: The ordinary and tribute mask version are both included (thanks!).

....and Berdin (Winnipeg Jets)

I'm working on Oscar Dansk, David Rittich, Artyom Zagidulin, Dan Vladar and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. Just so we don't overlap

Nice work ranger11
