What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Australia will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers will be pleased to move on from here. The pitch was flat as a pancake and did not offer much assistance either way. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Australia proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

@rahul: Do you by any chance have a saved game of that tournament?

 

[BruD]

@BruD: Try running Launcher.exe and make sure that "Use permissions mode" is checked. Then click Play. That should resolve the issue.

Ok so managed to solve my problem. You were right about the permissions but after looking at my error logs I noticed that the program wasn't actually using the User Permissions, even if I ticked it in the launcher. So I checked the files and saw the launcher.config file. After a bit of trial and error I noticed that just by changing the last 0 to a 1 forced it to actually use the user permissions function and the game worked again.

Only question I have now is since the patch I can't set up my own Ashes anymore (I know there is a fake one in Australia already but I'd like a English one), as now your series must have at least 3 teams, not 2.

 

[kurtkz]

That's very of you, BruD! Thanks for the heads up. I'll fix up both those issues before I release the next patch (in the next hour or so, hopefully).

 

[kurtkz]

Hi everyone,

back with another update:

- tweaked edges vs spinners
- added option to Step Down as captain
- added almanac of seasons in career mode
- added awards in career mode
- more UI fixes
- tweaked pitch variations
- fixed bug in manual lineup selection when simulating
- fixed bug on highlighting FOW in worm scorecard
- tweaked keeper diving (should get fewer byes)
- fixed "Use Permissions" option in launcher
- custom series can be set up between 2 teams min.

the new patch can be downloaded from http://www.cricketheroes.co.za/Data/Patch-2.633.zip.

Cheers
K

@DM: I'll be working on the model importer tonight.

@rahul: If you can send me that saved game I'll try to debug the issue.

 

[dancingmongoose]

My experiment?

 

[kurtkz]

@DM: Yup, the importer will form part of that. Nothing is automated at the moment and there's lots of hacking that needs to be done to get the models in so I'm going to spend some time today and tomorrow getting the importer working.

 

[dancingmongoose]

Can't you just replace the fielder model in the game with the one I sent you? Then we can see if everything matches up

 

[kurtkz]

Nope, there's a bunch of extra animations that were added to the other models (fielder + WK). I need to export those animations to the model, then export the model. Then generate ambient occlusion for it and then import it.

Kurt where is the team editor saved too? Making a new roster but I cant find the location of where it saves

@Markkkkk: Thanks, I'll take a look at that error shortly. The team editor modifies the Import\Rosters.csv file. If you're running in permissions mode it will be in the folder you extracted the game to, otherwise it will be in %APPDATA%\CricketHeroes\Import.

Okay so the easiest way to edit the roster is to edit it normal and use permissions fix?

 

[kurtkz]

Yup, that would work.

Argh, so it seems like there's *still* mirroring in the textures which is making it impossible to do unique kits, bats, etc. Waiting on Buko now to let me know how much work it's going to be to fix that up. I'm still busy on the model importer but it looks like it might just work...

Kurt ive been doing what you've said but still even when running permissions fix it still doesn't show up. Any ideas why?
