----------

edit edit: i stuffed up. reuploading the patch now.

The archive is damaged.
+Also this is also giving me a head ache.

Ah, I see what I did wrong. The team editor doesn't actually generate the teams on save. It updates the roster import file. Make the changes in the team editor and save. Start the game. This will import the changes. Then open the roster editor and the teams should be there. I'll fix up the team editor shortly.

By that i am getting the fatal error.
I get this error by when I create a team and save it and then when i open the cricket.exe it just gives me this fatal error.

Kurt in career mode would it be possible to have more control over the team?
I mean I would love to be able to determine which side of the wicket my bowlers bowl from so i can really set fields etcetera, tell them which line and length to play to for the field I am setting........

@singhb: The archive should work now.

@Dutchad: Do you mean when you're the captain?

@Dutchad: Do you mean when you're the captain?

Yeah! And I would like as captain then have a say in who is being picked for the team. Is that possible?

 

[kurtkz]

Sure thing Would it make sense to treat captaincy like management mode?

YES!!

 

[Somethang]

I would prefer if it was an optional thing - whether you want the captaincy and how much control you have once you have the captaincy. I'm fine with how things are at the moment except I would like the option to accept or decline the offer.

Also, any updates on the payment front? I'm very impatient

 

[kurtkz]

sure, that makes sense. it will be completely optional

I haven't received word from pay fast yet. I think they take weekends off. I'll pm you shortly.

Excellent idea to make it optional.

Having visited the game again and played for a while I must say it is the best cricket game in terms of realism I have played. If we can boost the animations it is going to be brilliant. Having some good tight matches and I particularly enjoy bowling.

One thing starting to bug me is when a batsman miss times the ball and gets a leading edge that balloons into the covers, only for them to watch it go past and short extra cover belts after it after a while. Seems like cover could easily catch it but does nowt. Happens quite regularly.

Has the appeal window been shortened again? Have never ever successfully appealed!

 

[kurtkz]

I'll check out the leading edge and appeal window problems shortly. I think I know why it's vanishing so quickly.

Hmm, I'll have to adjust the probabilities on the lbw appeals. I think they might still be set a little high...

Really, mine was fine? Although that was a few updates ago. I had enough time to appeal and usually the correct decision was made.

Perhaps I am doing it wrong...I whack "I" when the appel comes up.....
