dbc hacks: fearsome tweak v2.90 +minigame v0.03

What if.
There's max 5 on off including slips.

What if.
There's compulsory over limitation for bowler types so that theres variety.

What if.
No. Extreme Slow balls are allowed.

What if.
Only longer formats are played with similar minded Friends.

What if.
We use low to moderate skilled teams to balance out bat and ball. And no editing of skills are allowed.



What I am saying is no matter how good the Ai is...online will always win hands down..
Im loving this patch..but still online is more fun challenging .there's no comparison.

It seems u guys have not really truly experienced the online gaming potential.

so your "easier" solution contains 5 caveats including finding a "similar-minded" friend? please, don't derail this thread with nonsense. you get fun out of online, we get fun out of this: it takes all sorts. i don't go into the online section and keep posting for people to try this hack.

If you enjoy it and it works for you then props to you.... but 5 what if filters that cant be enforced in game dont really help in an already narrow pool of dbc online players it feels like match making plus numerous ways they can go wrong, with all that still 'time', the ability to play when i need and what i need instead of looking for a dbc Date to play with and hope it works! I have played a few long format games and they dont work well even with like minded people, a t20 takes 1.30 mins to complete... now think of corresponding a 9 hour test match between two, by the time i finish one online it will be a week atleast , its far better to invest my time offline!

So for these reasons offline rocks way more than online imho and hence the blanket statement

I must say the easier way out to get a real and extremely thrilling experience is just to play online.

doesnt work !

This hack really has given the game a new lease of life to keep me going with it until DBC17 arrives. Bowling in a ODI as career legspinner I managed to get six edges in a single over. The AI needed to get the run rate up and started trying to belt everything but ended up edging every ball. None of them went to hand but I still enjoyed the over and the excitement it delivered. Given that I've gone multiple seasons without seeing any edge, to get six in one over (given the game context too) was excellent. Thanks again, @francobaldo1 .

@francobaldo1 me old mate, what you got going on in the pipeline for us!

Why I want to marry Franco and why the whole Big Ant studios will be marrying all of my daughters...............Just love the last 20 seconds of this vid....the emotions of sport! Take a bow @BigAntStudios , take a bow!

With these replays you really get a renewed appreciation of the love put into this game.....just love that shot of the ball lying on the ground and the stumps like broken trees as the players rush to the bowler....look at the hands of the wicketkeeper, first a fist then the fingers pointing to the bowler in "you the man" style, then the clap......the face of the batsman! Epic, feckin epic!

The bowler will be getting a severe warning however......

Edit: uploaded a new version edited with one of my favourite songs of the mo: Mathew and Jill Barber's cover of the Niel Young tune "Comes a Time"

One last one as I practice my new found editing "skills"; a little selection from The Netherlands Bowling against India with the new ball in the second match of their World Test League efforts: the song, again an excellent cover of a Guns 'n Roses song, this time by Taken By Trees......

Beautiful! Best thing ever is a defensive nick. I loved getting out like that before they patched it.

Just finished a low scoring test vs South Africa with the 1.02 hack running. Lots of variation in dismissals. I liked this slip catch:

Next ball...I go for a cheeky appeal...and SA review it...

Nice.

 

[francobaldo1]

dutch glad you are liking it ^^

wealey this is what i'm doing now

worked a lot on the hack the last two days with some important progress, unfortunately i lost some piece of code
that i wrote months ago and was very useful, i could have released something good yesterday. My stupidity sometimes
is too much. Anyway i'm trying to release something today.

This is the second time you've asked that. Can you please consider what your asking him to do there? You're asking him to add animations / motion-capture. I don't see how on earth that could be possible. It's one thing to alter the existing code/set-up and another to add animations. Even Big-Ant, when adding slog-sweep and square drive in the last patch, could not add animations.

Let's keep the discussion & requests sensible please.

@francobaldo1 : Is there a way to stop those fielders sliding out of boundary?

 

[francobaldo1]

nishanth usually is possible to edit the models, maybe in some weeks if someone wants to try, i will share hopefully some useful code.

funnyadit the next update should solve that, and also the catch at mid off mid on. I'm finishing it, i'lltry to upload in 1 or 2 hours.
