Press "Space" to start the run up and finalize the marker with arrow keys.1. How do we confirm our bowling target?
Batting is being controlled by mouse.2. What does Right Shift do? In my case, the batsman just walks down the crease and does nothing else.
Controls are....
Bowling - All
- hit 'c' to toggle over or around the wicket
- hit 'q' to toggle pace or spin bowling
Bowling - Pace
- hold space to build up the bowler's pace, then let go to start bowling
- as bowler is running in, move the bowling cursor with arrow keys to place where you want the ball to land
- use keypad 7 to do an outswinger, keypad 9 to do inswinger
- use keypad 4 to do a leg cutter and keypad 6 to do an off cutter - the speed of the rotation at the moment of release is decides the AMOUNT of cut
Bowling - Spin
- hold space to choose the flight of the ball (low on the powerbar is fully flighted, high is flat) then let go to start bowling
- as bowler is running in, move the bowling cursor with arrow keys to place where you want the ball to land
- use keypad 4 to do a leg break, keypad 6 to do an off break - the speed of the rotation at the moment of release is decides the AMOUNT of cut
- use keypad 8 to do a top spinner and keypad 2 to do a flipper - the speed of the rotation at the moment of release is decides the AMOUNT of cut
* try some combos - flighted leg break or flat flipper
Batting
- Batting arrow appears during bowler's runup - be ready for it!
- Mouse movement to control direction of batting arrow indicator - 360 degrees (though only front 180 shots possible in this release)
- Left mouse to do a defensive shot (blocks)
- Right mouse to do a ground stroke (drives)
* Front foot / back foot mode disabled in this release
* Lofted shots disabled in this release
Other
- When bowler is waiting to bowl:
- push '0' to enable free cam mode - then use mouse left button to zoom in and right to zoom out
- push '1' to return to default cam then 'r' to reset
- 'l' will toggle all your strokes on or off (3D spider) but not the trajectories, just start to end point (use in conjunction with free cam to se them all)
*** hit 'r' to always reset play back to normal.
*** ESC key exits the game
Awesome Alpha!
i. The Batsman and the Bowler should be breathing or practising shots instead of getting frozen
Enjoying how easy the kits are to make (I have the england and australia test kits on my version now!). Which leads me to my next point, obviously with no copyrights, there will be a few unlicensed teams in this, fine.
When we come to mod the hell out of this game, will it be as simple as this, just put a folder containing team info, kits, pads etc into the root directory? and will we be able to add as many teams as we like?
Finally could there be a folder system set-up so we could create our own categories (e.g. International, End Domestic, India Domestic, Aus Domestic etc...?)
btw am I the only one getting along fine with a touchpad mouse and laptop?
