Boss's CoolGamePlayPatch Thread

[SaiSrini]

pretty good patch. batting is not as easy for me as said here in this thread. may be guys here are playing on medium level. i am playing on Hard level and batting is fun and i sometimes lose wickets at unexpected intervals. I havent tried bowling yet and will tell my feedbackzz after trying bowling!

 

[Trescothick]

Has anyone else had problems running this patch?

I installed it using the config editor. The game loads up, past the intro, but as soon as it gets to the main menu it closes/crashes and i'm back to windows.

Are their any other edited things that don't work with this patch?

patch looks pretty fine (though yet to play a full 50 ov game)..boss, I think the cpu can be made a bit aggressive (to make bowling challanging) in first 15 overs. Also many times ground shots go directly to first slip/keeper.

Hi all, despite I said I wasn't going to download it, I've found that CGP is the best AI patch ever made for Cricket 2004! Since I got UEFA Champions League 2004-2005 I haven't played on Cricket 2004 but when I did play it looked smooth, and every match I played was tight. Almost as tight as the England v South Africa One-Dayers. Great work, boss.

You should do this for Brian Lara International Cricket 2005- released June 31, 2005.

Thank u very much 4 u'r app. skateboarder2!!!, i'll do my level best for u'r happy gaming!!! :cheer

You know....I have been criticizing your patch all this while. Time to give credit where credit is due:
A great patch. The directions of all the strokes are great and its good to see batsmen taking advantage of the field restrictions in the first fifteen and trying to hit out or improvise when being bogged down. Their field placements are sharp, keeping catchers in area's where I edge it or hit the ball into the air a lot. The bowling is good, and I am playing on medium. My RR would have been somewhere between 3 and 5 if it wasn't for the wides they bowl. A really good patch. Great work!

hi trescothick, if u follow the inst given in the readme file then there will be no problem at all!, As there is no chance 4 gamecrashing with this patch, there might be some other pbm!. u may need to fresh install the game,then install my patch...and let me know the result... :upray

by shailesh

hi shailesh!, nice to see u here!!. This pbm looks pretty strange to me is well, as zoraxdoom pointed out. Only tailenders may time the shot as u say!, i never see batsmen doing like that...anyhow i have to see it with other modes is well(other than HARD, i think).... :onpc
Need more rev/fb/comm...

Boss

 

[T20]

that's strange I'll try with a fresh gob. btw I am playing on hard mode.

I installed both things in the right places...

Does it need to be installed on a blank gob?

I'll try a couple of things and get back to you...

Cheers

I put it on a blank gob and it works now.

Does your patch fix the run-out, line-up, or rain bugs?

I'll give you some feedback when I've had time to play it properly.

 

[barmyarmy]

Config patches can't fix runout/lineup/rain problems. Equally they can't make the game crash to desktop from the loading screen.

 

[Skater]

I will be able to test Cool Gameplay Patch Version One in more detail next week because my Playstation 2 PC USB adapter should arrive in the post.

 

[Trescothick]

I see. What patches do I want to install to fix those problems? I used Sam's v1.1 patch before, which worked. But I don't want to use anything that might over-write the AI of boss's patch.

by shalilesh

hi shailesh, fresh gob inst will do the favour surely coz this game is totally rubbish with their file system, very complicated often i think!!!

by trescothick

Hi tres, fine!now u inst the patch app. As barmy pointed out these configuration patches certainly not gonna make game crashing anyway!. Btw few required enhancements 4 this game are(may be u know..)

Few Required Enhancements:
---------------------------

1.You are advised to play this patched game with Sam's "c2004runout.exe" file that almost turned down annoying AI run-out bug.

2. If u wish to get the correct line-up and new technique of Ball-marker hiding while u bat can be achieved by Sam's "Cricket2004 unofficial exe patch Ver:1.1", (but the problem in this is u still get AI run-out bug). Anyhow there is a small remedy for this in the form of "run-out.exe" that may avoid the run-out bug, but still not sure whether it is working or not!.

3. There is a new patch from Sam's for Wicket Keeper timing over stance, dive, catch etc., in the form of "c2004wk_timer.exe" that turn down lots of buys when short-pitched ball bowled by us/AI. There is lot of options provided for keeper timing, u may tweak it to u'r preference.

These are the personal enhacements needed along with my patch!!!

The day is saved!!, Thanks to SAM!!!, btw these exes not gonna overwrite my CGP anyway!!!,

Boss

 

[Trescothick]

Thanks!

So do you play the game with the c2004runout.exe? If so, do you just play with incorrect line-ups?

 

[Skater]

I've just found out that my Playstation 2 PC USB Adapter will arrive in the Mail this Week so I will be able to release my Review sooner than expected.

 

[Ashnal]

Boss, Patch is good. Its the first time since playing C2004, I got a bowl & caught. I see more variety of shots eg; sweeping to spinners, that is lacking in the other patches. I still believe through that the cover drive is mostly concentrated around cover point & 3rd man. Need to see if more variation of this shot if it can be achieved.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

"c2004wk_timer.exe"

Can u tell me where to find this?
Thanks
