Goal! - update?

Anubis · 21 February 2007, 18:01

Since Mr.Larmer died long time ago I wonder if someone else might update Goal! The game it self is working as far as I can tell, but settings are not saved and you can't save replays. (nor you can load your own disks)

I wonder if someone can fix this and complete install.

Here is note from WHDLoad site:

Quote:

Load action replays not working correctly, because I wrong simulate
'disk changed'.

Use DIC program by hand to create files 'Disk.3' (disk with settings)
and 'Disk.4' (disk with action replays).

Thanks!!!

StingRay · 23 February 2007, 12:54

Well, I did my own hd-version of Goal! back in 1997 that supports all features. I did it using my own system, i.e. not WHD load though. Should be no problem to adapt it for WHDLoad though. I'll see if I can do it this weekend.

I have reported this long time ago and as far as I remeber it has been even dicussed here. I am also waiting for this fix.

StingRay · 23 February 2007, 13:05

See above.

mailman · 23 February 2007, 14:17

Great. I am looking forward to it.

Funny thing because similiar thread already exists but it is locked

StingRay · 26 February 2007, 01:14

Unfortunately I was busy with other things this weekend (mainly testing the speed of a c2p routine

) thus I will need a few days more for the whd slave. Good thing is, I found my old source of my Goal! hd version so there shouldn't be much problems adapting it for WHD. I'll keep you informed.

StingRay · 26 February 2007, 22:25

Ok, update: I have adapted my old HD version for WHDload, everything works fine except loading directory of the Replays disk. I think I can give you something to test tomorrow. Was a nice experience touching such old code again.

StingRay · 01 March 2007, 22:29

Ok, small update, everything works so far except loading directory of the f*cking replay disk... I am debugging since 3 days to find the problem, it's some pretty weird problem... That the game was programmed in C doesn't make it any easier...

frikilokooo · 04 March 2007, 10:59

Many versions of Sensible Soccer in WHDLoad and the Goal! exist only one! and you cannot record data!!!, the world is crazy!!!!!!!!!

StingRay

thank you very much

Also Thanks to Anubis by the thread

frikilokooo · 04 March 2007, 11:14

StingRays I wanted that also it is possible to be record the modified teams to be able to update the teams.

I will be able to try to update all teams, at least the national teams and the champions league teams!

I have several Goal! videos in Youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPM3Pt9ThCo

frikilokooo · 04 March 2007, 13:14

Perhaps the following request is to request too much: can you duplicate to the double the nationals teams? I will be able to use the repeated ones for the national teams of other continents: Brazil, Argentina…

macce2 · 06 March 2007, 21:16

Goal! is one of my older favorite games ;-).
So, where would I get the most recent (whdload ?) hd version ?
Used to play it much with my friend years ago :-).
It was very fun, generally. Of course, with the more "distant" screen view.

StingRay · 09 March 2007, 17:57

Well, at the moment on my HD.

I still have a hard time to find a workaround for that problem with loading the directory of the replay disk. If it wouldn't be one of my fav. games as well, I would have already given up.

So be patient please, I hope to have better news soon.

kriz · 09 March 2007, 18:16

Cool! Great StingRay!

frikilokooo · 09 March 2007, 19:16

With the database of the Pro Evolution or Fifa of Ps2 I will update the players of the teams although skills of the players is not possible to modify these:

lolafg · 18 February 2011, 06:53

I know it's an old thread

For me would be the best to be finished...

StingRay · 30 November 2011, 07:37

FINALLY!

Yesterday, more than 14 years after I made my first Goal! hard disk patch and almost 5 years after I adapted it for WHDLoad, I finally fixed the problem with the replay disk! YAY!

Spent two hours in front of ReSource starring at the code (again! as so often before...) and then, finally, I had an idea how to fix this problem. All replays can now be loaded correctly. Expect fully updated WHDLoad version in the next days. Yes, it took me a long time to solve this problem but now it's history! \o/ See attached screenshots.

AxelFoley · 30 November 2011, 07:50

Fantastic !! Glad you finally did it. It's worth waiting for.

frikilokooo · 30 November 2011, 09:14

It can not be true,I weep for joy

Thank you very much StingRay!

Btw there will be any limited goals as storable?

Gordon · 30 November 2011, 09:16

Thank you stingray!!

Can we save game data too?

StingRay · 30 November 2011, 09:31

Yes, I agree. Best football game on Amiga and one of my favorite games. Otherwise I would have given up loooong ago! Can't count the hours I spent trying to fix that problem... Disassembled C-code is truly a PITA to debug.

Goals can be saved, yes.

Yes, everything can be loaded/saved (teams, goals etc.) just like in the original disk version.

Gordon · 30 November 2011, 09:43

This is fantastic as I can now play a league season without a disk!

LEGEND.

lolafg · 30 November 2011, 17:07

You are the number one

It's really a great Christmas present and i thank you really much for this particular game which is my favorite !!
Will be really happy to test when you'll have done it !!

THANKS A LOT

STING

seuden · 30 November 2011, 17:47

Awesome stuff, looking forward to getting this! Again, thanks Sting!

Is it too gay for me to leave a kiss? x

kriz · 30 November 2011, 17:54

you rock Stingray !!! Great work !!

EreWeGo · 30 November 2011, 20:24

Awesome stuff Sting, can't wait for the release, congrats mate!

StingRay · 30 November 2011, 22:11

I am currently adding support for another Goal! version (SPS 1817), once that is done the patch is finished. =)

ancalimon · 01 December 2011, 05:30

Hey! I wonder how that old Competition pro I got would feel when playing Goal

StingRay · 01 December 2011, 07:32

You can now test it since I have finished the slave.

Please test attached slave and report any problems you may find. The patch supports 2 versions of Goal!, v1.0 (SPS 487) and v1.1 (SPS 1817). There is also a Championship Cup Edition version but I don't have it, thus it's not supported yet. If someone has an original of this version, I can easily support it too. The patch will create the data disk (disk.3) and replay disk (disk.4) if you don't already have any data disks installed. You can save your settings, leagues, cups and replays just like in the original game. Have fun!

Edit: Almost forgot, the slave supports the following tooltypes:
CUSTOM1=1: disables the intro
CUSTOM2=1: disables creation of data disks (you normally won't need this since the slave checks if data disks exist or not)

seuden · 01 December 2011, 08:11

Awesome!!

frikilokooo · 01 December 2011, 09:09

How the slave is installed?,I already have the ipf disks.Anyway I hope retroplay reads this and he makes the preinstalled version please

StingRay · 01 December 2011, 09:16

Just use the installer of the already existing patch. Then just copy the slave I attached here into the directory of your Goal! install.

Edit: Preinstalled version attached!

frikilokooo · 01 December 2011, 10:41

Thank you again StingRay!

lolafg · 01 December 2011, 17:11

Will test now , ah Disk.1 and Disk.2 in the zone for you (Championship cup edition from old slave from Mr Larmer).

StingRay · 01 December 2011, 17:18

Thanks.

However, that is v1.1 (SPS 1817) which I already support.

HOL lists a separate Championship Cup version which apparently is rare.

lolafg · 01 December 2011, 17:22

That is the same version , the one wich was said rare is a craked version of this one called "Goal!2000" wich only had the english teams from year 2000....

StingRay · 01 December 2011, 17:24

Ok, thanks for info. I guess I already support all versions in my slave then. =)
