Tennis Elbow 4 News

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Controls : added a message in Settings -> Controls to recommend to disable Steam Input, as it's the number 1 reason for trouble with controllers
- Localization : Italian translation updated, thanks to pupattolino75 !

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Acceleration Trait : Slow Ball Big Speed's limits are tuned so it's more advantageous on slow surfaces, and almost not penalizing on fast surfaces
- Play Style : the new description of the All-Court Attacker is (ie: he got a speed bonus for his normal & topspin strikes) =>

• 1 extra acceleration
  
• bigger jumps at the net
  
• big speed bonus for shoulder height acceleration
  
• up to +3km/h on normal & topspin strikes, whatever the power is
  

- Play Style : the new description of the Rounder is (ie: he got a speed bonus for his normal & topspin strikes, as well a topspin bonus for his topspin strike) =>

• 1 extra acceleration
  
• bigger jumps at the net
  
• big speed bonus for shoulder height acceleration
  
• up to +2km/h on normal & topspin strikes, whatever the power is
  
• little topspin bonus on the topspin strike
  

- Play Style : slightly raise the jump bonus of the All-Rounder

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Tutorial : doing some tutorial lessons could still block the next launched match
- Menu : if no default font was defined, then the font padding for custom fonts was the one from the previous menu's default font (this was an issue for some Mods, not the base game as the default font was always defined for the base menus)
- Ini : WT_NewGame & WT_NewGameTEM usages from Tennis.ini were inverted, preventing to easily edit the starting skill points in the World Tour
- Modding : having different Country Cup rounds for different years still could lead to some issues

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- AI : the CPU will now almost never rush the net after a very crossed strike (as it's too open to a down-the-line passing)

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- AI : in doubles, the CPU could reposition himself incorrectly after have volleyed on the side of his partner (when the ball comes near the center and the partner is too far from it)
- AI : in singles, since the previous build, the CPU was following the doubles rule which could make him badly positioned
- Modding : having different Grand Slams and/or different Country Cup rounds for different years could lead to some issues

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Rendering : ball outline (you can turn it on in Settings -> 3D Match) ; it's especially useful if you play with a low display resolution and/or with the 1st or 3rd person camera
- Modding : it is now possible to Mod the SpotAngle of the lights (see section 6 here => https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic60-34047.php )

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- AI : better net rush on serve & volley for the CPU when the player is slow, and in doubles
- Menu : improved the selection with a controller and the arrow keys in the Settings menus, as well as in a few other menus
- Stadium : tuned the ads' brightness in half of the stadiums and made it possible to change it with Modding

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- AI : fixed a couple of bad positioning & reactions of the CPU in doubles

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Strikes : the safe strike done after charging the topspin could get way too much topspin, or even a weird banana lob effect if additionally charged with the slice
- Replay : a crash could occur when exiting the replay
- Replay : since the previous update, it was not possible to close the Replay with a controller
- Controls : the game was crashing when mismatching button/axis for up/down in Settings -> Controls
- Modding : in Tour.ini, only the 1st period of YearPeriod was used
- World Tour : when starting a new career with the TEM2 mode activated, the Tour mode wasn't reset to Career Mode if the current mode was on Seasons or Unique Tournament

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Controls : the correct controller is automatically selected when assigning a button or combination in Settings -> Controls (so you don't have to worry about selecting your controller if you have more than 1 connected)
- Controls : option to invert up/down for the strike combinations when your player is on the far side of the court (like in TE2013 ! )
- Animation : smoothing of the reach for the Dynamic Animation system, which should prevent jerkiness when swapping between the regular & slice animations or when doing left/right movements to position your player

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Acceleration Trait : slightly raised the threshold speed for the Slow Ball Big Speed trait with men, so the bonus speed will trigger more often
- Menu : moved the Import/Load/Save buttons to the top of the Character Sheet in the Training Club, so they'll be more visible

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Acceleration Trait : the Rapid Fire was getting a 5km/h speed bonus instead of handicap !
- AI : fixed a couple more glitches for the CPU players in doubles
- Controls : the Open Menu button wasn't working during the game
- Menus : the tooltips could be incorrect when using the controller or keyboard
- World Tour : some saved games could be marked as Invalid if you had some saved games using different tour bases
- World Tour : playing with women was deleting the current saved game for the men
