Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[Allrounder18]

I didnt do the diving animation because of this issue lol , cant you google the bhv of it?

 

[Allrounder18]

Tested again , all the pace bowlers lost about 7ks after 2nd/3rd round of t20.

Apart from fixing the losing pace bug can you do the following in your next patch?
1)Make subsequent generated players age b/w 18-21 and their skills range b/w 50-60
2)Increase the probability of players moving b/w teams atleast every season couple of players who didnt get a chance should move/retires and fresh faces to be inducted.

Hmm, I can't get the seamers to lose pace in my sims. Can you take a before and after screenshots of a player who's lost pace?

The majority of players generated in your initial season are aged 18-23 with a handful of players over 23 in each team. The skill range is based on age at the moment, but I don't want to set it much lower than it already is as this will throw off the balance again.

Players retire when they get to a certain age, but they don't generally move between teams at the moment. That's going to take a while to implement so I'm going to leave that until I've tested the fielder model.

So I've hit a bit of snag with the mocap - the capture from 1 Kinect isn't good enough and retargeting other mocapped data is tough (the Mixamo rigs have lots of bones). If anyone can help with retargeting then great. If not, I'll have to start saving up for more Kinects. As it stands I don't think I'll be able to finish the new mocap/model stuff just yet as it looks worse than the current animations I have.

I'll test out some of the mocap on the current models in the meantime and see if it's passable.

Ohh!!! not a gr8 news , My ipi mocap trial over otherwise i would love to do it.

[DOUBLEPOST=1430509497][/DOUBLEPOST]Players losing pace is not common , sometimes they do lose sometimes they dont.

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, I still can't reproduce the loss of pace

Yeah, 1 Kinect isn't enough to do mocap for cricket. I think you'd need at least 2 (preferably 3). Meh. I also wasted a few weeks doing this Oh well. Live and learn.

 

[Allrounder18]

Ok players do lose pace every time it just the time is not decided some times they lose pace after 3 or 4 games , in my current save they lost pace after the

I cleaned up the bowling animation pretty good so it isnt working for batsmen/fielders right?[DOUBLEPOST=1430510738][/DOUBLEPOST]BTW Ok players do lose pace every time it just the time is not decided some times they lose pace after 3 or 4 games in T20 season and sometimes later, in my current save they lost pace after the 4th round of OD tournament.[DOUBLEPOST=1430510866][/DOUBLEPOST]I can buy a used kinect V1 in about $55-$60 though.

 

[kurtkz]

Meh. Still can't get the seamers to lose pace. Can you take before and after screenshots of their pace please? Will help me understand what's different :/

 

[Allrounder18]

Its actually 7ks for FAST BOWLERS the guys with 140k max pace get down to 133k exactly all of them , one fast medium guy who was 135k has dropped to 127k so I guess its 8k for fast medium , will try to take an Screenshot by tomorrow.

 

[Allrounder18]

BTW I don't think an screen shot will be any useful as it will only show one pace bowler pace in hover bar.

 

[Allrounder18]

For a short term measure you can increase all the pace bowlers pace by 8ks so that when it gets dropped it evens out itself.

 

[Allrounder18]

Instead of using mixamo rig , why dont you use makehuman rig options ? there are lots of them surely one will fits you need , hit the animation tab in makehuman to access it.

 

[kurtkz]

That still doesnt solve the problem with poor animations or retargeting.
