can anyone make the fast bowlers swing the ball. i have tried mixing swing bowlers data in fast bowlers but it does not seem to work. Or even increase the speed of the fast bowlers.

I have made heaps of changes to swing, pace and spin. I got quite bored scoring 300-400 each time even while playing for Ireland against Australia at test level. To get over it, I changed plenty to make it a lot more challenging. These days the scores are looking very realistic. The middle order always was a concern before, but I changed it to perform as good as the openers. I beat PC batsman quite often and vice versa. The swing I have set the swing, pace and spin to be the same for any conditions and on any pitch to keep the scoring comptetive. The Computer is only as capable as a human in my game, they do falter at times. It makes it a lot more sense now to play SWC. I will consolidate all the changes Ive made and mail it to BLC online shortly.

is it possible to use Ireland in a test match??

is so, how?

thanks

I meant not in a test match but at test level. You still can if you want, replace any test playing nations team files with Ireland one by renaming Ireland to AUS or whatever. The name of the team will remain original but you will have Ireland players playing for the replaced team.

I have sent the files that I had changed to BLC online yesterday, it still isnt appearing there though. I guess it should be available whenever they update the site.

 

[Ben]

what changes have u made ?
is it swing/seam/spin and pace ?
or have u managed to change anything else ?

 

[indiansnz]

Changed the way the middle and lower order batsman perform when batting. Changed the way the computer starts hitting out after the 30+ overs and gets bowled out in less than 40 overs. Set their aggression level to little higher in the first 15 overs. It hits over the infield in the first few overs as well. Those are the only ones I can recollect right now.

 

[indiansnz]

If you guys want to make the changes Ive mentioned above, you can play around with 1day50.cfg (am not sure but sounds like this one). Whereever you see the agression to be a huge number reduce it and set defensive to some number based on the other numbers in the file. The file has in sequence the way the PC would play in a 50 over game. If you do not want the PC to keep smacking you all over the park then reduce the agression level to a lot less than what they are in most of the individual settings. Give it a try and let me know. If anything, do mail me.

Well I appreciate what u ppl are doing especially ben. I had used your field posted first. It was really good but there is a problem in it which I think you didnt saw. Not a technical one but a crciketing one . If I am right there are six fieldres outside the circle which is not by the rules. Try to avoid these things as it take away the fun. And well done ben for changing the fields. I also understand the co-ordinartes system to change the field locations and may be u can see a field change from me as well but not in near future but in far future.

 

[sangam]

How do we change the field settings??

 

[Ben]

If it was 1 of my fields that had 6 fielders outside the circle , I apologise as it must have been an oversite.
But I'm still not sure about all placing positions.
What I'm working on is a bitmap image of the field , so people can edit fields.
Cheers,

Ben,

Where have you posted the fields, I have no clue about it, can you please let me know. I overwrote all the original fields in the directory X:/codemasters/blc/fields/1day/fast with the field that you sent me. But none of them seemed to be used by the pc, it uses some weird field which I haent seen before. You got an answer for this, Ben? It will be really helpful if you do.
