Tennis Elbow 4 News

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Controls : plugging in the controller during the game was preventing its axes to work, which could have lead to a crash ; this was also returning the game to the main menu if done from the match or warm-up
- Controls : having a controller with no button could make the game crash (eg: pedals)

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Modding : it's now possible to save the Coaching Strategy and apply it to World Tour players in the Player base (see the "Coaching Strategy" paragraph here : https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic11-31376.php )

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Gameplay : the AutoPos was pushing your player back if you were standing after the 2nd ball bounce, instead of making him move forward (since the previous Build)
- Controls : the game was crashing if a controller with too few axes was connected (eg: pedals)

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Gameplay : cannot do a gesture from the strike buttons anymore, so it's not possible to do them by mistake (which was a cause of upset online ':D )

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : the player head could quickly switch left/right when the ball was right above it
- Animation : the head of the players could go all around (since yesterday's build)
- Animation : the player couldn't see to the smash animation if you moved him after he had started another kind of animation (that includes the auto-pos)
- Animation : the player can hit the ball a bit more in his back if he runs back to the baseline
- World Tour : our own player could get stressed when playing a lower-ranked player (it's supposed to happen only in TEM2 ːsteammockingː )
- Gameplay : the women (in World Tour) max speed was the same as the men's one, instead of being about 3km/h lower when having 100% Speed

Here's the full support for the controllers with dedicated icons and a better default configuration for the XBox & Playstation controllers, as well as an easier menu navigation ; I hope it works well, but if you notice anything wrong, don't hesitate to let me know..! :-)

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Controls : added icons to clearly represent the different axis and buttons of the XBox & Playstation controller, as well as a new default configuration for this type of controllers
- Controls : switched to Rewired plugin (1), which should better handle controllers in a general way, especially exotic ones (2)
- Controls : up/down and left/right are now correctly handled, so the menu navigation with a controller should be much easier than before (3)
- Controls : you should be able now to plug-in & remove your controller while the game is running

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- World Tour : Taiwan has been renamed to Chinese Tapei, as by sport competition standards

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- World Tour : age of your player could be incorrect on the Week 52
- World Tour : Indoor streaks were counting as Synthethic or Hard
- World Tour : fixed a crash when starting a career with 4 players in season mode
- Animation : on MacOs Big Sur, the players could get their knees up in the air

[h2]Notes :[/h2]
(1) - if you're on Mac or if you were using the triggers, this will change your current controls, so don't forget to check them in the Controls menu
(2) - please let me know if your controller still doesn't work correctly with this version
(3) - if you see some weird stuff happening when navigating the menus with a controller, please let me know

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Modding : can change the number of talent stars when starting a new game with the NbStar entry under [WT_NewGame] in your Tennis.ini

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Gameplay : now when the Short Term form lowers, it'll also make the max energy lower till ~90%, even before reaching the threshold
- Gameplay : it's a bit less penalizing to hit the volley off-centered, so the extra-reach is more useful and let you do more decent shots
- Gameplay : it's not possible to have net balls on the 2nd serve for the human players, as there was a light risk to double fault because of it
- AI : the CPU predicts now better the chance a ball can go too wild, and thus do a bit less stupid faults (especially when his Tactic skill is high)
- AI : the CPU now doesn't use the Short Acceleration anymore if it has too much chance to not be short enough (especially when his Tactic skill is high)
- Talent : the Slice Mastery talent slightly raises the slice precision, so it's more efficient when prepared a bit late
- Control : autopos now makes your player go backward if you try to smash a high ball after it has bounced
- Online : the game now automatically auto-repings the hosts that didn't answer (ie: with red infinite pings)

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : fixed a frozen animation when trying to smash a ball too high to be hit
- Animation : fixed a couple of animation issues when the CPU player was late to play a smash
- AI : when running backward, the CPU could hit the ball before the bounce while he had decided to actually hit it after the bounce
- HUD : the indicated stress from playing against a lower-ranked player was much bigger than what it really was
- HUD : the aiming preview was turned a bit too much when aiming to the left or right
- Gameplay : the stress from playing against a lower-ranked player cannot lower anymore when starting the 2nd serve
- Physics : the ball would go more easily wild always on the same side (ie: left or right)
- Replay : starting/stopping a replay during a gesture that moved the racket was leading to the racket being mispositioned
- Replay : viewing a point replay could create desyncs during the match replay (it may still not be fixed at 100%, as it's pretty hard to reproduce that bug :fear: )
- World Tour : on saved game reload, some of the Prizes from Pro tournaments were $0 during the year you had decided to turn pro
- World Tour : during the fictional years, on saved game reload, the low-ranked players in the base who got a fate of future top players were seeing their mental skills reset to their original values, making all the other skills way too high
- World Tour : when starting a Season Mode career, picking more than 1 player was leading to wrong starting age & skills
