NHLInfo: Brekathrough in Roster Editing Discovered

[Jlnhlfan]

I just made a groundbreaking discovery involving NHLInfo:

The unknown byte at 0x004=004 (which can only be accessed by pressing the D key on a player, which opens up the DB Viewer, then clicking on "Birthplace") refers to a player's birth country.

This means that I could learn which countries are at which IDs in order to change the birth countries of players that need it.

Here are the bytes I have seen, and which countries they refer to:

0x01=1 is Austria
0x02=2 is Belarus
0x03=3 is Canada
0x04=4 is China
0x05=5 is Czechia
0x06=6 is England
0x07=7 is Finland
0x08=8 is France
0x09=9 is Germany
0x0A=10 is Greece
0x0B=11 is Ireland
0x0C=12 is Italy
0x00=13 is Japan
0x0E=14 is Kazakhstan
0x0F=15 is North Korea
0x10=16 is South Korea
0x11=17 is Latvia
0x12=18 is Lithuania
0x13=19 is Norway
0x14=20 is Nigeria
0x15=21 is Poland
0x16=22 is Russia
0x17=23 is Scotland
0x18=24 is Slovakia
0x19=25 is South Africa
0x1A=26 is Sweden
0x1B=27 is Switzerland
0x1C=28 is Ukraine
0x1D=29 is the US
0x1E=30 is Yugoslavia
And 0x00=0 is None

Which also means that my NHL All Stars 2000 mod can, in fact, have the World vs North America selected in season mode.

Now that I have acquired this knowledge, not only am I going to do my best to use it to my advantage, but I am sharing it with you guys, in case you want to make mods for older NHL games from the late 1990s and early 2000s.

AWESOME FIND!!!

Thank you. In the past, before I knew what that byte was for, I would have needed to use players I normally wouldn't use as stand-ins for other players (for example, I wound up using Sandis Ozolinsh as a stand-in for a fake player named Fedors Medvinskis (previously known as Fedor Medvinsky)).

But now, I can use this breakthrough (<- this is the word that was supposed to be in the title, but my fingers got the best of me ) to my advantage and choose from the available countries for these players and make the roster even more like what I imagined.
