Thanks for the feedback, ZoRPA :)

I need to re-import the challenges for them to work. I'll do that for the next update. I'm not sure why the bowler HUD isn't being displayed though. It's also odd that you can't see the clock in the top-left corner...I just tested it on a machine at work and I can see it. I'll check it out after work as well. What gfx card are you running?

Also, I'll see what I can do about making the simulation run faster. I *could* probably cut off a minute or two <- that might not make it into the next update though. If you find any other issues, please let me know. I'm working on editors for the game at the moment, so hopefully you'll be able to mess around with skills, teams, etc.

Cheers
Kurt

Hey all,

What gfx card are you running?

I'm running the game on Lenovo Thinkpad Edge laptop, with an Intel HD graphics card. I have to add that I have an external 19" connected to the laptop as well.

[kurtkz]

@ZoRPA: Hmm, that's odd - I've tested it on an Nvidia G102, Nvidia 9400M, ATI 1600M, Intel Xtreme2 and Intel GMA950 and it works well. Can anyone else here confirm that there are parts of the HUD missing on Intel HD gfx?

[ZoRPA]

Played Update 32.

When I bowl a wide, and the ball goes for 4 runs, it only adds 1 run to the score, instead of 5 :-/
Still bowling blind.

I'll try it on my PC at home and see what happens.

@ZoRPA: Thanks for the bug report. Will fix it ASAP.

[kurtkz]

Cool, managed to fix up that bug. Will upload tonight if I get a chance.

@ZoRPA: What gfx card are you running at home?

Hey guys,

update 33 is in the 1st post along with the usual change log.

Cheers

@ZoRPA: Any luck getting bowling to work on your home PC?

[ZoRPA]

I tested the game at home and all is fine.

Running Win7 x64 with Radeon 6970.

It must be my laptop graphic driver that is giving the problem.

Hi all,

I hate necroing a thread, but I haven't stopped development :) I've set up a temporary website at Cricket Heroes. New downloads, guides, etc. are available there and I'm planning on releasing an update tomorrow or Thursday.

I have a little bit of cash available to spend on the game and want to redo the pixel art and animations - if you feel you're capable enough, please send me a PM with a link to your portfolio and we can chat price :)

Cheers

It works fine. At home I have an ATi card and all seems well. Can't wait to see the final product, but I have to say I kind of like the look and feel of it now.

@ZoRPA: Thanks :) I'll be updating the website tomorrow with a new download. Any feedback you would be greatly appreciated.

[kurtkz]

Hi all,

the new download link is up in the 1st post. I decided to release it a few days earlier so I could get some feedback before Sunday

The Quick Match mode isn't quite working 100% yet (sometimes the Toss screen appears twice), but other than that I think it should work quite well.

Cheers

[ZoRPA]

So I'm batting at the moment but what do I press so they take a run?

[kurtkz]

Hi ZoRPA,

the playing guide is here: http://cricketheroes.co.za/Guide.html

Click on Batting and it'll tell you how everything works :)

I hate doing this, but if you plan on simulating games please re-download Setup.zip file...simulation was broken :/

[ZoRPA]

^^^ I have read through the controls and even remapped the controls but I cannot get the batsman to take a run. What is the default key for this?

[kurtkz]

Aaah, crapsticks. Looks like running's been broken for ages. I'll reupload again in a minute.

[kurtkz]

OK, new download is available...sorry to mess you around like this ZoRPA. It should hopefully work now.

[kurtkz]

Hi all,

new download is available at Cricket Heroes...

Cheers
Kurt
