Tennis Elbow 4 News

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Player : added 3 face shape customization, thanks to sixstringseraph ! (only available for the high LOD player male)
- Modding : you can now define the custom camera for 2D courts like this :

[Camera]
AspectRatio    =    16:9
AutoU1        =    0.3323
AutoV1        =    0.2106
AutoU2        =    0.8297
AutoV2        =    0.7810

ie: no more manual positioning of the camera, you just note down where are the top left & bottom right corners of the lines ! To get these coordinates, divide the pixel's X by the width, and the pixel's Y by the height (so the coordinates will be normalized and thus will still work in case you resize the image afterwards). U1/V1 is the top left line corner, and U2/V2 the bottom right line corner. For courts without a corridor, add this line :

AutoNoCorridor        =    1

- World Tour : you can now change the saved game date format by changing this line in your Tennis.ini, under [WT_Static], change this line : "SavDateFormat = yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm" (HowTo => topic19-32161.php )

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Skills : a few of the main player mental skills would change the 1st time the career was reloaded
- World Tour : the tournament limit for your Junior player was miscaculated when you were participating in the main draw in singles and had lost in the doubles qualies (and vice versa)

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Animation : slighlty tuned the 2H-Backhands #1 & #3 so the off-hand animation is better positioned and smoother (especially for the male player)

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : all strikes requiring up/down direction (in legacy TE2013 controls) could have their animation weirdly played with some acceleration and slow down during it

[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
