Another update with new features !

I needed the ball thrower to create the tutorial, and I used that momentum to add the service training as well ! :-)

With it, you can even train for the serving volley, or the return by taking control of the 2nd player instead of the main one.

The ball thrower is programmable so you can create any kind of exercise with it.

And here is the complete changelog.

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Training Club : service training, which also allows you to train for the serving volley, and for the return (by taking control of player 2 instead of player 1)
- Training Club : programmable ball thrower

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Players : the player CRC now includes the Footwork Booster

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- World Tour : the weak players from the real years who continued their career into the fictional years could get too strong (this fix is in 2 parts, one in use at the start of each year, and one only when starting a new career)
- Modding : switching between different stadiums having different net skins could lead to a crash

[h2]Notes :[/h2]
- Modding : if you have the XKT Mod, delete this file "Mods\XKT\Menu\ScriptsTe\InGame.menu" (it's useless anyway) ; else you won't see the Ball Thrower Programming button under the Leave Court button in the In-Game menu

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Physics : significantly lowered the sidespin when striking the ball on the move, except when striking hard while running very fast

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Helpers : the Footwork Boost was set back to Disabled after having played an offline SkillMode other than Free (it's normal it's disabled during the match with these skill modes, though)

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Gameplay : since the previous update the side spin strikes and the twisted serve could go in a wrong direction
- Gameplay : the slice could get too fast since Build 91
- Visuals : leaving a stadium when displayed from the opposite side & reentering right away was raising the exposure on the opposite side

Hello,

in a shorter time than usual, here is an update with new stuff and some polishing. I hope you'll enjoy it ! :-)

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Gameplay : added the Footwork Booster helper which allows the player to start to run and change of direction faster ; this is less realistic but if you have low reflexes or want a closer feeling to TE2013 gameplay, use it..! ːsteamthumbsupː
- Gameplay : added side spin to the ball when a strike is done on the run (except for strikes already having some side spin)
- Visuals : now the court lines get dirty on clay, and are cleaned at the start of each set
- Modding : can move the Stadium NPCs & Props (HowTo in the 5th section here : https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic60-34047.php )
- Modding : can Mod the textures of the miscellaneous models (HowTo in the 3rd section here : https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic60-34019.php )

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Visuals : raised a bit the exposure when playing against the sun, so the court is a bit brighter, which is especially useful to make the clay look more natural (more info & how to tune it : https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic15-34182.php )

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : fixed a couple of weird results in the dynamic animation system when hitting the ball on the run or right after
- Camera : the 1st & 3rd person cameras were bugged on the new Training Court stadium
- Visuals : the crowd lighting could change during applause in indoor stadiums
- World Tour : the low & high tournament filters were not saved
