Yeah, that would be pretty good. And does the new update again has a limit of 20 minutes?

 

[kurtkz]

@Yudi: Cool, I'm going to upload the power change in 5min. No time limit.

kurtkz added 4 Minutes and 6 Seconds later...

New update HERE. Sorry about the constant updates, but your feedback is invaluable

 

[hedger_14]

yeah, i'd take out the power mechanism and make it a bit more simple to bat. just have it so if you press any of the shot buttons alone, it will play a front foot shot, if you hold on to shift while pressing a shot button, then it will play a back foot shot and if you hold on to control while playing a shot, then it will play lofted (shift and ctrl combined will be back foot loft) so here are some examples:

z = front foot cover drive
shift + z = back foot cover drive
ctrl + z = lofted front foot cover drive
ctrl + shift + z = lofted back foot cover drive

@hedger_14: I had that control scheme last time, but people complained...give the new version a spin and let me know if that's any better? I'll see what I can cook up for your control scheme.

EDIT: I remember now why it didn't quite work - the directional controls controls both your movement and your shot selection so you need another key to distinguish between moving and hitting...

 

[hedger_14]

hmm, well i'll try this new one and see how it goes.

 

[kurtkz]

Crap, seems like disabled lofted shots by accident now. I'll upload a new version once you guys give me the go-ahead.

EDIT: I should really hide my screen better at work - it'd let me test the changes properly :P

EDIT: Ugh, guys please ignore the last build. It actually doesn't change much. Working on the new control scheme now.

 

[hedger_14]

yeah, i just realised that. I still can't play shots after the bowler bowls it.

 

[kurtkz]

OK, finally have a proper working version HERE.

You should be able to play your shots quite late now. I tried against the spinners and it's finally possible to step down the track and loft the ball

 

[hedger_14]

hmmm, is it just me or are all australian batsman left handed.

 

[AbhishekS]

yeah, they all are left-handed in the game.

 

[kurtkz]

F@#%$(!@%!%. I left that in by accident. Please find the proper version HERE.

@hedger_14 & Yudi: Do you mind if I PM you guys new updates before I post here? Clearly I can't be trusted to upload a proper working version.

 

[AbhishekS]

fine for me!

 

[kurtkz]

@Yudi: Cool, I'll put you down as an official tester then.

kurtkz added 4 Minutes and 42 Seconds later...

BTW, how do you guys like the change in controls?

 

[hedger_14]

yeah, school is finished for me now, well i have to go get my school certificate tomorrow but then it's holidays for me.

So yeah, I'm happy to be an official tester, like I had been previously.

And wait, so that latest version fixes the all left handers for Australia.

 

[kurtkz]

@hedger_14: Awesome, I'll do that. Yes, the players should bat with the correct hand now.
