Build 148 ; SubBuild 2025.10.15

Hello,

sorry, I lied in the last announcement : I said there wouldn’t be any new features for a while, but I just added the mocap volley jump animation in today’s update..! ☺️

It might look a bit too much like Roddick (effective at the net, although not super elegant), but I hope you’ll still enjoy it. 🙂

And here's the full changelog :

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Animation : added the Mocap animation for the jump when volleying

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- World Tour : in the Country Cup, the hosting country's stadium selection could be incorrect
- Animation : fixed a couple of issues with the Mocap
- Animation : the player could do some weird rotation when preparing his forehand

Build 147 ; SubBuild 2025.10.9

This is the last update with new features for a while. I hope you'll enjoy it ! 🙂

Note : I will still try to fix the reported bugs, if there are any.

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- World Tour : if you want to edit your opponent's outfit, add this line to your Tennis.ini, under [WorldTour] : (HowTo => topic19-32161.php )
EditMatchOutfit = 1

Note : If you have the XKT Mod, you'll have to wait for its next update before it works 😉
- Modding : it's now possible to play the grunt sounds before hitting the ball (HowTo => topic60-33725.php - "Grunts" section )

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- AI : the CPU is now a bit smarter to decide whether to rush the net or not

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : the CPU was turning his back when turning around his backhand to hit a forehand
- Animation : when moving backward and doing a forehand, our player could do a 360° turn
- Modding : Fixed the Mod load order for Mods coming from Mod.io ; previously, the load order depended on each Mod's last installation or update date, which could result in invalid saved games, especially when combining incompatible Mods, such as the outdated XKT2023, which doesn't work with newer Mods designed for XKT 4. Many users installed both together, creating unstable game states. This fix should help prevent future save corruption. However, it might also break your current saved game if it relies on XKT2023 (or any other improperly configured Mods). I did my best to strike a balance, but please remember: Mods are created by users like yourself. If their authors don’t follow the recommended guidelines, or if you don’t read their descriptions carefully, I can’t guarantee the game will remain stable. 👀
