This is why I love this game - a tight and passionate fan base full of people like CatchUp, willing to take their own time to help out other EHM gamers. It's such a shame that this is the last one. :cry:

While it is a shame that there won't be any EHM for the forseeable future - we can all keep it going by continually improving the existing game through add-ons and updates. That's what I'm all about. 8-) Your comments are much appreciated. :thup:

I hope this thread hasn't been dead and buried, because it's been a while since the last post. Either way, i was just wondering if there was any possibility to get adm-style nhl bg:s with the new logos and colour schemes for nhl teams? Please... [-o<

Hi rottamies and getz,

First off, your new packs are on the way.

Second, let me explain why my graphics have been absent from the site for a few months...my computer got fried, I moved, quit my job, was unemployed, got a new job. I've been at it for a couple of weeks and I'm well on my way to having my new graphics PC up and running.

Once that is done, I will be back on top of all of your requests for avs and BGs and whatever else. Scouts honour. 8-) :-D

Well, as Getz said in the message above - I definitely took my time. :-p

Here are the brand new Afterdark NHL Backgrounds:http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/dl ... ile_id=480

Here are a few previews, in-game:
Sabres
Yotes
Jackets
Bolts

As you can see, these are centered to the main 'viewable' portion of the EHM window. I personally like them this way much better and I think I will be doing all my BGs in the future in this format.

I'm very happy to have a bit of free time to work on EHM projects again. If you guys have any suggestions/ideas for graphical addons, I'm happy to listen! :-D

Cheers,

CatchUp 8-)

Those backgrounds are nothing less than excellent! :thup: Nice looks, well positionned, keeps things easy to read... Perfect!

Did you plan doing other leagues the same way?

I certainly can! As long as there is a source for logos for ALL the teams in league, it's fairly quick to knock these out. Just have to set the individual teams colours. What takes a long time is trying to find logos for leagues that are more obscure. Most times, you can find the popular teams, but the weaker or less talked about teams have no source for a decent sized logo. ](*,)

www.sportslogos.net is great for north american leagues, but is somewhat lacking elsewhere. If anyone knows of good quality sources for team logos, I'm all ears! :thup:

They do look awesome, along with your club logo backgrounds, they suit really well, where did you get your Logo backgrounds from?

Great work once again, thank you so much! Asolutely wonderful!=D> And those titlebar backgrounds on those ingame shots are also great, as Getzlaf 15 said. I'd love to get my hands on those beauties...;)
