Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[Meet]

Is it possible for you to include the area where the bowl will go, this will make thr shots go in all directions as seen in AC09.I know its too hard to get in.
Check out this screenie-

Also while selecting batsman, show their stats-

And if you are not able to include the runs which are to be taken, you can include timing meter in place of it.

@Meet: That's not a bad idea - how does it work though? I've never played that game. Do you set the direction with the mouse and then press a key to play the shot?

 

[Meet]

For that game A was used to get the marker on left side and D to get it on left side and W to get it behind the wickets.Don't remember completely but just saw the controls and saw even S was put in the use.If I still remember S was used to get the cone behind the wickets on off side and vice versa for W.
Here's the controller screen-

 

[kurtkz]

So do A and W rotate the cone left and right?

 

[Meet]

Check my above post.

Meet: Isn't that the same as the current control scheme just with a cone overlayed onto the field radar?

 

[Meet]

That cone was smaller for the batsmen and bigger for the bowlers.It makes it realistic as the bowl will only go to specified direction and will increase the efficiency of shots at the same time.To answer your question yes but not completely though.You need to even work with controls though, and is there any copyright issue for the controls?I know its a bit nooby question though.But if you are able to include it, well and good.Best of luck if you gonna do it.

----------

There was also an auto option for those who don't want to use front foot and back foot keys.

----------

And if you are not able to include the runs which are safe to be taken, you can include timing meter in place of it.

What's your opinion on this?

 

[kurtkz]

@Meet: I think I can do a rough timing meter...

 

[Meet]

And whats your final decision for the cone?

----------

1.Stats button at the bottom of screen?
2.Remove return button from every screen and give the footnote at bottom of screen-"Press Esc to return"
3.Have you applied the hex code I gave you for the scorebar?

I haven't had a chance to decide yet - will let you know in a future update.

1. I'll add it to the top of the screen.

2. That will mean that the player needs the keyboard + mouse to navigate the menus - it should only need the mouse.

3. Yes, the hex codes are in the game - you can look at the teams.bdb file to see the RGB triples.

I am asking for it just because many times I click return in hurry.Make field radar a bit bigger.And by fast speed in simulation screen, I meant the simulation should be completed in a few seconds.

Saw them, but I am not able to get the code I gave you in it

Cool, I'll make the radar a bit bigger. I can probably make the simulation a little faster, but it definitely won't finish in a few seconds (although it doesn't run for *that* long). Even though it says simulation, it still simulates lots of different aspects of the game. I'll see what I can do though.

I am planning on making multiple simulations run at the same time for series/tournaments though if that's why you were asking

EDIT: For the hex codes, you can just convert the hex into decimal (you can use calculator for this), e.g. FF = 255, so FFFFFF = 255,255,255

I was asking for it, as we don't need to wait for much time for those who want to skip batting or bowling.

----------

But here, it shows decimal for FFFFFF is 16777215

----------

I have noticed that majority of the deliveries are on shorter side.

----------

Can you make a full screen for resolution 1366*768

I'm really struggling with the controls. I understand the controls, but when am i meant to press them, while the bowler runs in, as he lets go, as the ball bounces?

Any help, i know Zorax said press i, o, k, l as he runs in, but i've tried that and i still don't seem to hit the ball.

Kurtkz, have you thought about a timing meter?

 

[Meet]

Damn!I missed century, even when I pressed to drive the ball, the ball was converted to a lofted one.Last time you told me it happens on mistime shots, but to tell it went in the same direction I demanded it to go.
