Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

I can redo it though.

 

[Meet]

Game crashed.
When I finished batting in Slog between Pak and Ban, the game crashed.And also when I selected BoardXI in Pak lineup, it didn't selected 11 players.Also while returning back, the players don't return in straight path.

But it will show the timing after the shot.Isn't it?But after the shot theres a need to show if its safe running.Theres the problem.

I thought the timing bar worked as follows:

- appears when bowler delivers
- shows where optimal timing is (maybe a narrow yellow bar inside the timing bar)
- shows the current timing *if* the player was to play a shot now (a marker basically moves along the bar as the ball gets closer to the player)

This would serve to guide the player as to when he should play a shot and will also show how well the player timed the ball.

yeah!fine

Thanks for the bug report, Meet. I'll fix those things up for the next update

yeah!fine

Great, do you mind doing another mockup with the updated idea of the timing bar? These mockups really help me visualise what the game should look like and what *you* guys would like to see. Also, the 3rd umpire box looks cool

In other news, I *think* I have the timing system working quite nicely now - whereas previously the timing would only affect the direction of the shot by 5-10 degrees on average; now, it plays a much bigger role. For example: if you cover drive late, the ball will squirt towards backward point instead of cover and will *probably* bobble along instead of speeding across the ground.

I've also updated the ball physics to be a bit more realistic and fixed one or two issues with the bowling that have been bugging me for a while. Next up - the cone batting method

Whats to be updated?

 

[kurtkz]

@Meet: Maybe just the current timing indicator and the ideal indicator?

 

[Meet]

So another marker needed?

 

[kurtkz]

Uhm, not an extra bar - the same bar, just with some indicators on it.

 

[Meet]

something like this?

 

[Meet]

The red marker will keep moving and as soon as shot is played it will change into grey.

 

[kurtkz]

@Meet: That's perfect. I'll add that now.

 

[hedger_14]

But remember that it will be moving very quickly since the bowlers bowl quickly.

 

[kurtkz]

@hedger: Agreed, it'll be moving quite quickly - I think it might be easier to have the bar above the batsman's head so that you can focus on the bowler. I'll keep the running box in the top left corner though.
