So much for bowling idiotically outside off, then...

Well what did you expect it to do?!

Stop occasionally so I could get the line adjusted?

You pressed next over!

 

[cameeel]

any chance up another update?

 

[cricketboy29]

hmm, should all the batsmen really be getting out for 0?

Okay, I've spent the last two weeks in East Anglia. There is nothing to do in East Anglia.

I spent around thirty-forty hours coding. This is the result - a fully 'complete' sim match engine with a rewritten editor and team selection screen - I've tested it reasonably thoroughly and it seems to adjust well to various game lengths. I've found a lot of bugs which I *think* I've ironed out - batting stupidly slowly, scoring at 10 an over chasing targets, spinners taking loads for not many, excessive runouts, too many sixes - but some must remain I'd guess.

I'm not sure how the ability levels in the database translate through to performances in the game, you may need to tweak the ground attributes to get sensible results - I think that 40 is bowler-friendly, 20-25 reasonable and below that flat; anything above 40 will do stuff. Creating extra ground data would be great!

Please test both game and editor to the point of destruction - and then we'll decide where to go from here with the rest of the project. Commentary and AI will be the next stage I think - no comments on the quality of the comms, please, they all need rewriting and volunteers will be required!

Run-outs seem to create weird commentary - you can have a non-striker run-out but it says the non-striker faced and, I quote "excellent fielding from Martyn to run out the batsman" (would seem like the striker was run out)

 

[Neil Pickup]

Seven minutes! Ack, well I can put that one down to not looking at the comms when I developed the run-outs bit. Is it getting the right person dismissed each time and just a comms bug?

(Note to self - need to make the ball spin more as it gets older and include speed of outfield in runs generation code)

Yeah, the person who gets dismissed doesn't stay at the crease. It's just the BBB output that is confusing.

 

[age_master]

well from 1 innings i see you have done a much better job at the batsmens 6 ratio than icc

 

[age_master]

Agression seems pretty on/off, 1/2 agression and they hardly score a run, plenty of extra's to keep us going though - in my 90 over game:

Harmison - 15 overs 7 wd, 6nb
Collingwood - 14 overs 7 wides, 3nb

B Lee - 14 overs 10wb, 1nb
A Symonds - 8 overs 4wd, 1nb
D Lehmann - 7 overs 22wd and 1nb

All bowlers bar Giles bowled at least 1nb

Argh that can't be right

 

[age_master]

ive got an error

both Hayden and McGrath are not out, Wharf didn't take a wicket, i have 4 overs left, but im all out

 

[age_master]

also when i add players to the database than to a team they dont come up as playable

however when i go and edit the player order in the db file they come up

 

[chooka_nick]

Hmm... it's a pretty good sim... but there are certain editing difficulties. Keep up the good work!

What intrigues me there is that Wharf's bowling figures are 1-1-0-1. I need to work out what situation that one occurs in so I can recreate it and find out why

Not sure if iv missed sumthnig about the mnassive amounts of extras. but heres my scorecard...
