Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

New patch:

- you're now allowed to simulate up to 25% of a short format match or 2 sessions of a long format for your score to be posted
- full names are exported from cumulative stats
- fixed crash with GIF recording
- tweaked edges (should be a little more lee-way for caught behinds)
- tweaked AI bowling & batting
- new manual

@dancingmongoose: When you get a chance please send me your launcher.cfg and data\options.cfg files please?

I think you meant options.ini cause there's no options.cfg

 

[kurtkz]

@dancingmongoose: Thanks, that's what I meant Yeah, it looks like the options file just got blanked out. Very odd - I'll need to have a look at the code again. Did the game crash at any point?

 

[dancingmongoose]

Not while I was playing it. Whenever I try to launch it the launcher progress dialog does, but not the game

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm - OK, cool. Maybe the launcher corrupted it. Thanks for the debugging

 

[dancingmongoose]

No problemo. It's weird talking to you in two different places

 

[dancingmongoose]

I assume the latest working update is available from the site for download?

 

[kurtkz]

Not actually - I removed patch downloads from the site. The download link is here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65476964/Patch-2.758.zip

Ok that wasn't quite what I was looking for, I redownloaded the full version and copied across the options.ini and made a backup, looks good so far it's currently updating the patch automatically.

 

[kurtkz]

Oh! My bad :/ I'm going to do put up the full version tonight again so I can start the patches from scratch. That should resolve a lot of these update issues.

 

[dancingmongoose]

Ok I had to register my profile again, it worked but I couldn't paste my serial key in I had to type it

 

[dancingmongoose]

I don't know if it's just me but the batsmen suddenly don't seem to know how to run, only trudge

 

[dancingmongoose]

Ok Kurt it's wiping the config.ini when the launcher does the checking config. It keeps wiping and restoring it and it must have crashed when it was wiped

 

[kurtkz]

You beaut! I'll fix it when I get home.

New patch:

- fixed leaderboard
- fixed online posting
- added leaderboard test pages to site
- fixed options from being reset every time you restart
- removed need for online profile to post to leaderboard

I scrounged together some temporary leaderboard pages for now:

Matches (batting) - http://cricketheroes.co.za/matches.html
Career - http://cricketheroes.co.za/career.html

I'll sort those out at some point (they're terrible coding & style-wise).
