Tennis Elbow 4 News

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Animation : new volley animations, including hand-made low and high volleys (that are still adjusted by the dynamic animation system) ; the legacy volley animations are now bound to the Forehand #8, and have hand-made high volley animations
- World Tour : added handmade outfit configurations to a few players, thanks to masterp443 !

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Gameplay : lowered the extra-reach for all the strikes when the ball is very low or very high (as the racket describes somewhat of a circle instead of a linear limit), which should avoid some weird animations and give a more realistic reach overall
- Animation : the players won't try anymore to hit the ball after it has bounced against a wall, to avoid doing weird animations

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- AI : fixed a couple of animation desync issues for the CPU
- Animation : fixed a little jerking that could happen when the human player had missed the ball

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Helpers : you can now select different visuals for the Danger Zone ; the new ones are a bit or a lot more discreet than the original one ; you can select them in Settings -> 3d Match -> Danger Zone
- Modding : you can now Mod the Danger Zone textures

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- AI : since the previous Build, the CPU could reposition itself in the wrong place after have hit the ball

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Strike : lowered a bit the lob precision when your opponent isn't at the net
- Strike : lowered a tiny bit the defense lob speed, so it'll be less easy to do a winning lob with it

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- AI : fixed a bunch of issues leading to animation desync for the CPU
- Stadium : the ads, the speed & time boards had disappeared on a half of the Australian Slam stadium
- World Tour : when your player was a Junior, your doubles partner had a better ranking than you and you wanted to enter a doubles Pro tournament, you were queued after all the Pros and thus always ended in the qualifications

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Modding : having copied the GameSys.ini from the Modding SDK (or just put the whole Modding SDK into your Mods folder) was making the game crash.

[h2]Important note about Modding the game :[/h2]
Do not put the Modding SDK into the Mods folder. Copy only the modified files into your Mods folder. eg: "Mods\MySuperMod\Ini\Players.ATP.ini".

For GameSys.ini and other similar .ini files, do not copy it ; instead use the GameSys_Mod.ini version as explained in the Modding SDK documentation : https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic11-31376.php .

This update fixed a crash coming from such an use, but others might come if you use the whole SDK as it'll prevent updates in the files present in your Mods folder.

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Surface : 2D Courts updated with the latest color changes
- World Tour : boosted a bit the strength of low-ranked women, especially around the rank #100

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- AI : the CPU was air swinging instantly when he couldn't reach a ball, instead of doing nothing
- AI : fixed a couple of cases giving slightly out of sync animations with the new syncing system
- World Tour : giving a good starting rank to a Junior was giving him ranking points for the Pro Tour instead of the Junior Tour
- Modding : if a Court.ini had an incorrect Type, then the game was crashing on start
