Open Beta Testing - [PCCS 0.1.5]

[AbhishekS]

Hey mate,
PlanetCricket Cricket Simulator simply rocks.
I needed some information.

Questions:
1: Can I import teams from Sydur Rahman's Cricsim? I guess NO.
2: Do you have the international team files for all the countries?
If yes, then I can start a story based on it.
3: When will the final version release?
4: If its not going to release soon, than can we have another beta version which simulates ODIs as well as Tests?
5: And if I wish you use the beta version for a Cricket League, here on PC, can I use it?

Expecting to hear from you soon.

Thanks.

@sohum
but a captain must allowed to at least choose first and 2nd bowler and then if they hit for plenty your algorithm changes them.

Like I said, this is not going to be on the roadmap. The simulation will take no user input specific to a match.

1. No.
2. PCCS.pccsdb has some international teams, but not all. You can make your own.
3. I don't have a release date in mind.
4. It's not as simple as snapping my fingers and having an ODI and Test release. Tests are definitely going to take a lot longer. ODI's may be a bit quicker.
5. You can use it but keep in mind that as with all beta software, this is untested. If you find a bug that keeps your league from moving on, it is not going to affect my development patterns.

would like to see more updates released soon,

one problem i've come across, when i create a new team, if you don't assign a stadium to it, the game crashes when you save.

also, any chance of commentry,

Yeah. In fact this is the case with all forms. There is no error handling on the forms currently, so if there is no input then the program shall crash.

I've been working on implementing special skills and ground things. I was hoping to implement these before I go away for thanksgiving but its not looking bright atm.

This is a great achievement by the developers.. I used it did not find any bug's.. and will be happy playing the Simulator after it's full release...

Congrats guys.. Good Work

send2yaari;did you install .net framework?

yes i did...still the same error and sohum what kind details do you want???

 

[sohum]

Here...

Did you enter all the required details? Please follow the tester's how-to to make sure you did. Otherwise, post a screenie of your create a match screen before you clicked the create button.

Please include the following details if you have a bug that causes the simulation to crash:

Operating System: e.g. Windows 7
.NET Framework Version: e.g. 3.5SP1
Description: include what you were doing when the crash happened

if you have the right version on it,then after restart it should run the simulator.

@sohum
can I ask how your algorithm works for bowlers,I mean does it picks best of the whole team as first bowler and move in descending order.
or what else?

 

[Mihir Doshi]

There is one problem or may be not... I faced..

I played a series with India England Bangladesh and Australia...

Team's are scoring 240-270 in T20 with i remember Pointing scoring 50 balls 157..

What is wrong... i had 5 matches like this... in return India Scored 243 in reply to Aussie 254

Chill people, this is a BETA. I've seen how difficult it is to balance out probabilities of scoring rates properly (I'm yet to perfect it), he's released the BETA exactly for constructive criticism, so that these things are not in the final version.

That's interesting.... I can't say I've seen that happen before. I have adjusted the probabilities down a bit, though.

Also, keep in mind that the random number generator provided by .NET is a pseudo-random number generator (as are all RNG's). I've noticed, without any proof whatsoever, that there are phases when matches are high-scoring and phases when they are low scoring. This is probably because the arrangement of my probability selection is done by sections instead of by strips. For example, if there are three events, rated at 20%, 30% and 50%:

1. Generate RN between 1-10000
2. If RN is between 1 and 2000, then event A
3. If RN is between 2000 and 5000, then event B
4. Else, event C

This means if there are a sequence of higher numbers, for example, event C is more likely. Replacing this with a stripped pattern may alleviate some of these issues. So it would go something like this:

ACBCBCACBC x 1000

It's a bit harder to implement but I'll consider doing it if I can actually deterministically prove that my theory is accurate.

There's no "create a match" button so I don't know what you're talking about. If the error occurs when you click the "Play New Match" button then I won't know what the issue is until I set up log files properly/include debugging information in a future release. If it is when you click "Create" in the "Play New Match" dialog then please give me a screenshot of that dialog with your inputs.

 

[khuramny]

yeah thats what i meant,whenever i play new match,and then you have to create one then when i create a match that error occurs,ill post the pic soon!!
