Ok so how does the career page look now?

Pretty darn swish! Thanks @dancingmongoose, nice job

Attempted to load my career save, was generating pitch texture (I think, generating something) after I went to play the next match

Yup, that's expected. I still need to fix your saved game :/ Will do that as soon as I'm home.

Ok, so I've started updating the rosters again, I noticed that some of the skills were off (Cummins bowling in the 50s, Vettori set as does not bowl) so I've decided to start again based off the latest db with wrong names, which were really easy to correct. For anyone else who wants to change player names to real, here is an easy guide

1. Open the actual_names.txt file with Excel
2. Open the data/players.bdb file also with Excel
3. In actual_names.txt press control+f to bring up the find/replace dialog. Choose the replace tab
4. In the find box type */
5. Leave the replace box blank
6. Click replace all
7. Select all the cells (ctrl+a or shift+end+down)
8. Copy (right click -> copy or ctrl+c)
9. move across to your players.bdb
10. Having the selected cell A1, paste (right click -> paste or ctrl+v)
11. Voila

Unfortunately this will wipe all their teams. But if you want to do that yourself this is the easiest way to reset them and fix the names. To retain the teams you'll have to replace each one in the editor one by one, or edit the teams.bdb and replace each spoof name there

Another small patch:

- added wind direction to weather view
- fixed bug where stadium submodels would pop in and out of view
- fixed version update check

Also did some minor work on the website.

Cheers

Lots of testing for me to do tonight but I've got a friend coming over who I'm developing a website for so its going to be at least 12 hours before I get to have a play

 

[dancingmongoose]

I'm playing a T20 and bowling around the wicket pitching the ball outside leg stump and haven't conceded a run in 2 overs. Perhaps make playing through the leg side to a ball pitched outside leg easier to play both for AI and human.

 

[dancingmongoose]

Bowling high full tosses makes the game temporarily freeze

 

[kurtkz]

Thanks

When bowling outside leg does the AI at least try to hit out? Or does the ball just not go very far?

I'll look into the full toss issue too. Think I might know where that's happening...

 

[dancingmongoose]

They're hitting the ball, just not very well. And they're not trying to slog at it either, most batsmen who get that kind of ball are either going to glance it or slog it, they're just dabbing it.

Also, just finished the match of my career, leaderboard didn't update

 

[kurtkz]

Meh Gonna take a look shortly

 

[dancingmongoose]

I assume it's because I've already started the save, I noticed there is one with 4 games so it is working but I assume that there's something in there that's not working because I started the save before it updated after every game. Could be wrong but that's just my take

 

[kurtkz]

So the good news is that it worked when I tested it now. I'm going to roll back and test again.

 

[dancingmongoose]

All of a sudden the leaderboard is empty
