Tennis Elbow 4 News

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Strike : lowered the topspin handicap on low balls, on 1H & 2H backhands, on off-centered balls, on raising & falling balls
- Strike : lowered the handicaps on the slice strike when prepared late
- Animation : changed the way the players bend their back to reach for low & far balls, so it's done more smoothly & naturally (it's still not 100% perfect, but it probably won't get better without real hand-made animations, I guess :fear: )
- HUD : the little triangle on the Energy bar now lowers when the max possible Energy is limited by the Short Term Form

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : on low balls, the dynamic animation was making the player kinda lower then go back up
- Animation : the body could be strangely pushed when hitting on the run
- Animation : the strike time prediction could lead to a too late auto-positioning, creating super weird animations on the legs
- Animation : fixed the spine rigging for the players, which was creating weird deformations when the players were bending their back
- World Tour : the tournament limit for your Junior player wasn't enforced
- World Tour : the Junior rankings was using the 18 best results instead of 6
- World Tour : the counted tournaments for the Junior ranking were not flagged as such in the Activity screen
- World Tour : if your Junior player participated in a Pro tournament, the total prize was raising despite the Junior players not able to get any prize

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Online : yesterday's build introduced a silent crash making impossible to join a game (sorry ! ːlunar2019shockedpigː )

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- World Tour : exporting your player to the Training Club was leading to a crash (since SubBuild 2021.6.22)
- Online : it was possible to see negative pings in the game list
- Anim : dynamic animation could make the player weirdly bends on his side when he was running
- NPCs : the US Slam stadium was missing some NPCs
- MacOS : a try to fix the legs-on-hip happening only on MacOS Big Sur

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Online : it is now possible to host for people behind an ISP Carrier-grade NAT, but they will be only joinable by players not behind a CGNat (*) and with their UDP port correctly open (ie: no push-through) ; to join such a host, you need to update to this version

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Shortcuts : clicking on Controls -> Shortcuts -> Default was corrupting all shortcuts using a Modifier key ; if you did that in the past, do that again with this version to get the Modifier keys back

[h2]Notes :[/h2]
- (*) : if your ISP CGNat uses the same public port when sending packets to 2 different targets, then the Push-Through server will work for you and you'll be able to join Host being a CGNat and you should be already able to host since the last change done on managames.com earlier today

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Online : if you press a Modifier Key (Right Control & Shit by default), display a list of all Quick Chat keys triggered by this Modifier key (and another key)
- Career : can now change the starting age when starting a new career as a Pro

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Career : it's now possible to change at any time the strike animations & grunts (it's less realistic, but just more convenient, especially for the future console players)
- Strike : nerf a bit the slice, so it's a bit slower when well hit, and noticeably slower when badly hit
- Strike : strongly lowered the spin handicap when hitting a topspin strike on the run
- Strike : strongly lowered the tolerance on raising balls to trigger the Shoulder Height acceleration bonus (ie: if you take the ball a bit too much before its highest point, you won't get a speed bonus on your strike)
- Strike : raised a bit the racket reach when running to the side
- Strike : better prediction if the player will be able to strike the ball or not (so the player won't air-swing if the ball is too far from him)
- Talent : the Slice Mastery talent now strongly reduces the handicap of hitting poorly a slice instead of raising the strike speed

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : fixed several weird dynamic animations when the player was hitting (or almost hitting) a ball far from him, and/or on the run
- Animation : the animation could get slightly out of sync when running after the ball (which was also additionally creating weird dynamic animations)

[h2]Notes :[/h2]
- More tuning on the topspin strike efficiency will come ; this Build is hopefully a 1st step in the good direction...
