Captures rot. 205 and 204

[paul r smith]

These 2 captures are for close in fielders, short-leg, silly mid-off etc, the fielder covers his head, protects himself and jumps out of the way when the ball is hit towards him, i have never seen them in gameplay and again do not know how to "activate" them. to see them in gameplay, however you can make them your batsmen leaving the ball captures, by copying and renaming them 40-44 etc., there are only slight differencies between the 2 captures so copy them both. It is funny as the batsmen leaves go of the bat,covers his head and protects himself, I would not use these in serious gameplay as i was given out lbw a number of times hit on the back of the helmet, i may save these new captures and install them when i am bowling at tailenders in the future, it looks as though the batsmen has been hit on the head by a short ball

Paul do you try the thing which i told you to do.enter the name of capture files.I couldn't do as my cd rom has gone for repairs

 

[paul r smith]

Sangamm, yes i have tried that, the captures still do not activate, i do not think that entering the names in the capture files makes a difference, the umpire file only names the standard captures, ie. standing still, yet in gameplay the umpire signals 4,6 out etc. Having looked at all capture files, i am still no nearer knowing how to activate them, i have made alterations to the way my gameplay looks in terms of fielders for example rather than swing their arms, rotate arms and neck between deliveries, like they are warming up they now clap hands constantly, rot 96., most of the captures in the main folder are for fielders eg sliding stop and throw 170, bowler marks run-up, 74, appeal and celebrate 134/152, fielder drops on front and throws of knees 168
rather than i listing all the captures, there are too many and many are similar, if you want to know the numbers of any request and i will reply

paul,
I know its asking a lot, but it would be great if you could list all of the ROT files you've found, what they do etc.
That way, we would all know what files you've tested and what ones you haven't, and make changes to the game like you have.
Like I said, I know it's asking a lot.........

Also Paul,
What captures would I need to replace to put the above ones ( 205 and 204) in the game, coz sometimes, when playing an aggressive shot against a spinner, the close in fielders make ridiculous catches - I'd rather they duck out of the way as in real life.

 

[paul r smith]

It is asking a lot!,178a is a waist high catch, 179 is a low central catch, 175 is a low catch to the side, you could try replacing these, i will do a deal with you all, if someone can tell me how to configure things so that my fielders wear caps, and i can choose the head wear worn by the batsmen ie. choose between sun hat, cap etc. i will post them all!!! I will post the more relevant captures, as a lot are very similar, there are about 5 captures for a fielder walking about for example, i still have not been able to find the capture for the batsmen taking guard, if anyone else knows this let me know.
For now though try this. delete: 93a,93b,93c
copy: 96 re-name 93a
copy: 96 re-name 93b
copy: 74 re-name 93c

delete: 198s
copy: 96 re-name 198s

regards, paul

I think if you make the fielders wear caps/ sunhats, so will the bowler. However, I think it can be done, especially the keepers wearing a cap in test matches.
I'll look into it; or does anyone already know?
