Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

Also there is a bug when we select eliminator for tournaments

I had 6 teams in this tournament where Ireland topped grp A and netherlands was second.. Similarly Afghanistan topped Grp B and Kenya was second

Now the thing is in eliminators 1st play the 4th and 2nd play the 3rd

With it being group Afghanistan and Ireland both topped now sim is confused

Also the fixture for eliminators generated were

Afg vs Ned
Ire vs Ken

Now first semi final Afghanistan won
Second Ireland won

Third eliminator match was generated as Netherlands vs Ireland(which should not be the case)

Ireland won the eliminator and tournament ended.. Now what abt Afghanistan's win?

Hmm, what should the 3rd eliminator match have been? It should be the loser of the 1st semi vs the winner of the 2nd...the game quitting early is definitely a big bug though. I'll fix that up for the next release too.

Now the thing is in eliminators 1st play the 4th and 2nd play the 3rd

If it isn't the semis then that's not the case.

It works this way.

Top 4 qualify.

Qualifier 1 - 1 v 2 (winner in the finale)
Eliminator - 3 v 4 (loser goes out)
Qualifier 2 - Winner of eliminator v Loser of Q1
Final - Winner of Q1 v Winner of Q2

If it is groups, it can be (assuming top 3 go through) -

Q1 - 1 (A) v 1 (B) (winner in the finale)
E1 - 2 (A) v 3 (A) (loser out)
E2 - 2 (B) v 3 (B) (loser out)
E3 - Winner of E1 v Winner of E2 (loser out)
Q2 - Winner of E3 v Loser of Q1
Final - Winner of Q1 v Winner of Q2

However, for the playoffs one set of code won't work, I feel. It depends on how many teams go through.

The above fixtures (top 3 from each group go through) is my version for the MLC league though.

@User2010: No problem, the sim needs to be tested thoroughly too, so thanks for that

----------

@User2010: I think that's what my code does but I do need to test it some more.

EDIT: Actually my code only handles the semi-finals case at the moment. I'll see if I can extend it soon.

@kurtkz: The number of overs bowled in test matches in each day is definitely consistent now, but I think it's still 6 or 7 overs short each day (should be around 90 overs a day minus 2 overs for each change of innings). Maybe that could be solved by increasing the last session by an extra half hour.

EDIT: There's also no change to the settled meter when batsman resume batting after a break in play (should be a noticeable drop).

 

[kurtkz]

@itay: Yup, I agree - I'll extend the last session by 30min and also reduce the batsman's settledness

 

[itay128]

Also, I think the off-cutter and leg-cutter for the pace bowlers are seaming in the wrong direction. The off-cutter should deviate towards the right hander's leg-side and the leg-cutter should deviate towards the right hander's off-side.

EDIT: Just got this crash log (from overthrows)

Hehe, that's actually changed in the version I have on my machine. The labels are swapped now when bowling to left-handers.

EDIT: Aaah, yes, OK - I know where that crash comes from. Thanks for that, I've been struggling to hunt it down

[Champagnepapi]

simming innings takes time any way to make that short?

 

[Gaurav_7]

It takes about a minute or two for me.

 

[Champagnepapi]

syes it did take about 2 mins for me but when i click on simulate the innings it comes with 30 mins remain to sim

 

[kurtkz]

@singhb: Yeah, it's still calculating at that point. Let it go for a few seconds and it should show you a more accurate value

@niru: Not yet, it's currently in testing. I'm fixing bugs and making changes as suggested where I can, so I'm hoping to release v1.67 tomorrow night. There's going to be quite a few changes in it, so hopefully I don't break it like previous releases

@User2010: Excellent! Thanks for the feedback - I'll fix that up.
