Tennis Elbow 4 News

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Skills : halved the extra precision bonus when having the Precision more than 20% above the Power (eg: having now 100% Precision vs 60% Power is equivalent of having before 90% vs 60% => (100-60)-20 = ((90-60)-20) * 2)
- Strikes : lowered the speed bonus for the Short Acceleration & Short Strike when the Precision is above the Power ; plus now if you're mispositioned, you won't get that speed bonus ; and inversely, the speed handicap is lowered when the Power is above the Precision, and the handicap is totally removed when you're very badly positioned (because you already get other penalties from the mispositioning anyway)
- Lob : lowered the lob precision when your opponent is not at the net and you play with Arcade or Simulation control

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Players : some fictional players weren't assigned a Best Rank, leading to a crash

[h2]Notes :[/h2]
- Most of these changes are to prevent some Online exploits when playing with a low power build

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- World Tour : added the title count for each category of tournaments in the Career Titles screen
- Localization : fixed & added new sentences for the Chinese translation (thanks to XK & SpeedAce !)
- Gameplay : can turn off the Exhausting injury by adding this line in your Tennis.ini, under [Game] : (HowTo => https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic19-32161.php )

Exhaustion = 0

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Animation : when hitting a low ball, the off-hand now goes a bit down with the body
- World Tour : lowered the chances for the Country Cup encounters to be held on clay

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : the players were doing strange movements with their back if they were moving right after have stroke the ball
- World Tour : watching CPU vs CPU match and giving up could lead to having the Player 2 winning right away in the next watched CPU vs CPU match
- World Tour : the career & year summary in the Activity screen was missing the Grade D category for the Junior players
- World Tour : the Bronze medal was giving the same points as the Silver medal ; now it'll get 75% of the Silver medal points
- World Tour : if you have missed a Grand Slam, you could still get the Calendar Gram Slam achievement screen
- World Tour : deactivating tiredness wasn't saved
- World Tour : closing the game on the match presentation screen was leading to that match being simulated, and often ending in a loss
- Outfit : entering an outfit code without an ending ";" was making the game crash

[h2]Note :[/h2]
Sorry, there's a big gap since the last update : I got badly sick at end of October and even though I'm better now I was still quite tired till recently. Now, I'm still not at 100% full speed, but I'm getting there..! :-)

Bug Fixes :
- Settings : creating a Profile was silently failing and then leading to a crash later on
- Online : closing the game wasn't closing correctly your online session

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Player : you can now choose between 3 racket sizes => Mid, MidPlus and Oversize, as well as 6 different models (it's just a visual change, without gameplay consequences)
- Modding : you can now add new faces just by copying their files into the "Male.Face" & "Female.Face" folders, without additional changes ; the Skin model in the Customization screen will allow you to select the face ; check the Outfit Modding SDK for more info => https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic60-33539.php

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Gameplay : the racket was too big for most players ; this is now a 27" standard racket for everyone, including Junior players, which is about 20% smaller than before for 1m85 players
- Modding : when adding a racket texture, the RacketTip & RacketTipOther will now use the "01" texture if you didn't provide a matching texture for them

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- General : Achievements
- Outfit : the camera is zoomed on the head when changing the eyes
- World Tour : the CPU players' head is randomly scaled, so they look more different (nothing too crazy, though, normally ːsteammockingː )

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Player : the male player muscular normal texture was deactivated
- Modding : putting the skin normal textures into your Mods folder was making the game crash
