Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[dancingmongoose]

Yep, just remembered I should apply the latest patch and there are 4 warriors.

And peek/poke designs isn't in the center and it should be on the intro screen

 

[kurtkz]

@dancingmongoose: Yup, I forgot to include the new textures. Will put up an update tonight.

 

[dancingmongoose]

New batsman cam is impossible to use, I'm sorry. First ball duck, chopping on. I don't know what to do until it's too late.

And I didn't get a bowl, all out for 79 and lost by 6 wickets with 8 overs to spare. I wasn't going to get a bowl was I?

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, what can I do to improve it? I had a bit of fun playing from that perspective

 

[dancingmongoose]

I'll give more feedback after I bat a bit more.

Bowling in the 17th over, it's really difficult to tell which side of the wicket the marker is on. Although it's not too much of an issue.

I can see too much of my head though, move the camera higher maybe?

 

[kurtkz]

Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe a head higher?

 

[dancingmongoose]

Yeah maybe. And more central, it seems to be off to the left of the player, around their shoulder.

Chasing 138, I conceded 2 boundaries behind square leg in 3 balls but still the captain refused to put anyone there. Only cost 12 all up from my 2, but only got a bowl as 6th bowler as our 4th conceded 26 from his 2

----------

Not required to bat as we chased it down easily with 4 overs to spare, blistering half century from our number 5.

Also need lots more surnames, tends to be a lot with the same name though not nessecarily on the same team

----------

Oh and loving the new level bars

----------

Got just 1 over, the second last, conceded just 1 run

----------

Nope, hating batsman cam, can't see the marker properly cause my helmets in the way, and anything short just dribbles onto the stumps

----------

We lost by the way, one guy taking 6/14

----------

Got to bowl earlier now, 13th over, must be getting rewarded for being economical. Again I'm bowling to a 'Puttick', think thats 3 games in a row now

----------

Ball gets hit straight to me but I refuse to pick it up, instead I wait at the stumps for cover to run around and pick it up from 4 metres past me. At least they aren't stealing runs. 4 balls in a row thats happened now

Thanks for the feedback, dancingmongoose. I should have some time this week to fix/tweak those issues.

 

[Monzi]

Cant use the game in Fullscreen?..How to?

 

[kurtkz]

@Monzi: Go to Options -> Video -> Fullscreen. Restart the game and it'll be fullscreen.

 

[dancingmongoose]

I minimised everything and it froze when I tried to open it up again. I watched a TV show and it was responding again, but I when I bowled the next ball (I was in the middle of an over) I got the following crash:

@Monzi: Go to Options -> Video -> Fullscreen. Restart the game and it'll be fullscreen.

I can't see the Buttons as they are hidden below the screen.

Screenshot Attached

 

[dancingmongoose]

You must have a screen height of less than 600 pixels. Chances are you're trying to play it on a netbook. The game doesn't go smaller in windowed mode than it already is

 

[kurtkz]

@dancingmongoose: You log the strangest bugs! Cool, I'll try to fix them up this week

@Monzi: You can run the game in safe mode (640x480 windowed) by typing:

cricket.exe -safemode

at the command prompt. The other workaround is to edit the options file:

go to %APPDATA%\Cricket Heroes\data
open: options.ini

change line 4 & 5 to:

640
480

Either of those workarounds will do the trick.

 

[dancingmongoose]

Well someone has to pick them up don't they?
