Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

Huzzah, Buko have sent me the next batch of animations - the umpire and wicket keeper are 100% done while the bowler is only lacking a spinner run-up and off and leg-spin animations. I should be able to import them either tomorrow or Monday...

@kurtkz: Bug which 'select new batsmen' screen appears even though the 10th wicket falls appeared again in update 1.28.

 

[kurtkz]

@itay: Which format is that for?

@itay: Which format is that for?

Test matches (yet to try it out for other formats)

 

[kurtkz]

Cool, thanks again for testing. I'll try to reproduce that bug later and release another fix tonight.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Finally free from personal stuff back to testing of CH

 

[kurtkz]

Good to have you back

I downloaded the latest version, started a test match and chose to bowl first. Everything was going along fine, I'd bowled a fair few overs, then I bowled a ball (an inswinging yorker) and got this error:

MESSAGE: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

STACK TRACE: at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException()
at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key)
at Cricket.Main.GameStateDeliver.ProcessInput(Single ms)
at Cricket.Main.GameInstance.Loop()
at Cricket.Main.Game.Main(String[] args)

Also: how does the DRS/appeal thing work? I see the bar come up and press the I button but nothing happens, I have tried holding it and pressing it repeatedly but only once did the review option come up and that was an accident

Another thing I have just noticed, I was batting, got a run the bowler broke the stumps and the bails just starting going up the pitch indefinitely, I pressed the I button and the players started running and I was given out despite not leaving the crease. And when I was bowled out, the select new batsman screen came up but there was nothing I could do.

Thanks for the report Mikeyw12345, I'll take a look at it in a bit.

----------

Oh - the DRS thing: the appeal bar appears if the ball goes past the edge of the bat or it hits the pads. I'll double check that it's working correctly though...

 

[kurtkz]

OK...I think I've fixed up most the bugs reported over the weekend. Just some more testing and the new update should be ready for tomorrow morning. Paid users will, as usual, see the new models. The spinner animations are still missing but Buko are working on those already.

 

[kurtkz]

Apologies for the delay everyone, I'm trying to test it as best as I can. The change log thus far:

- added wicket keeper, bowler, umpire models & animations
- performance optimization (3D)
- fixed replays
- fixed LBW bug where it was sometimes not given
- fixed LBW bug where it was sometimes not given (even after successfully reviewing)
- fixed fielding bugs
- "appeal" bar only shows up on edges/ball passing edge or hitting pads
- fixed shading on 3D models
- last selected profile is selected by default
- adjusted horizontal range of defensive strokes
- fixed bowler/keeper fielding when ball is thrown
- keeper displays properly in the pitch window
- fixed bowler runup and delivery stride
- LBW pitch mat is proper width now
- improved timing of dive animation
- added per-player skin tones
- minor bug fixes
- AI runs for overthrows
- fixed batsman selection bug when all wickets have fallen in a test/FC game

I'm investigating the last issue raised by itay128 - ten wickets fall and the game asks you to choose a new batsman. Once this is done, I'll upload the new version.

Cheers
Kurt

Maybe you were using the DRS in India

@itay128: Hmm, seems like the same issue as you had with the lbws previously. Will see that the catches are fixed too.

@rahul: Do you have a saved game?
