Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[Rohit Doshi]

And yes one more find.. Listen to this carefully

When you are playing a delivery and in between that delivery if you start or press 5/10 or innings simulation button then the delivery that was to be bowled is always a no ball

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, I don't get that behaviour either...do you mean when the bowler is running up and you press <simulate> the ball is always a no ball?

 

[Rohit Doshi]

yes

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, that doesn't happen to me...you mean when it simulates the delivery it's always a NB?

This error now

Yes its always a 0NB

 

[kurtkz]

Do you know which teams were playing when it crashed?

Also, does the 0NB always happen for you for all formats?

 

[Rohit Doshi]

0NB was seen in T20 format and ODI format.

The teams were Ireland v South Africa ODI format quick game

Although the commentary and reports were saved

Error occurred at a hong kong 6 match played between SAF and HK team. I batted the whole innings, bolwed one over. Next over the batsman played a defensive shot, I pressed I and the game crashed

 

[kurtkz]

Thanks, Rohit. I'm going to try to reproduce that bug now.

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Game is crashing less tbh none so far in 10 matches. Reports feature is buggy

 

[kurtkz]

@Rohit: What's going wrong with the reports feature?

 

[Rohit Doshi]

I dont know. When I select the report feature from gameplay the game crashes more. I am done with 18 games so far after switching it off and no crashes so far.

 

[kurtkz]

Aaaah, I see. Hmm...OK, I'll do some more testing and upload again on Sunday. That should be enough time to fix the bugs.

 

[Rohit Doshi]

I just completed simulating a whole Hong Kong six tournament of 10 teams. Fantastic I should say.

Sri Lanka won the tournament and Poms were runner up. Around 200 odd sixes were hit in 23 matches

Hi all,

I'm struggling to find these bugs so I've made a new update (v1.23):

Changes

- bowler display during runup
- improved logging of errors
- fixed crash during simulation

This should make it easier for me to find and fix errors...

Cheers
Kurt

Hi guys,

I managed to optimize the rendering code a little and have also added a frame skip option for those with older CPUs/GPUs. This helps the PC keep up with the game and makes it feel less like sludge :P I also fixed up the stump and bail models and animation. It no longer looks like a kiddies set.

I'll upload an update on Sunday again.

Cheers
Kurt
