Tennis Elbow 4 News

Hello,

in a shorter time than usual, here is an update with new stuff and some polishing. I hope you'll enjoy it ! :-)

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Gameplay : added the Footwork Booster helper which allows the player to start to run and change of direction faster ; this is less realistic but if you have low reflexes or want a closer feeling to TE2013 gameplay, use it..! ːsteamthumbsupː
- Gameplay : added side spin to the ball when a strike is done on the run (except for strikes already having some side spin)
- Visuals : now the court lines get dirty on clay, and are cleaned at the start of each set
- Modding : can move the Stadium NPCs & Props (HowTo in the 5th section here : https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic60-34047.php )
- Modding : can Mod the textures of the miscellaneous models (HowTo in the 3rd section here : https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic60-34019.php )

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Visuals : raised a bit the exposure when playing against the sun, so the court is a bit brighter, which is especially useful to make the clay look more natural (more info & how to tune it : https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic15-34182.php )

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : fixed a couple of weird results in the dynamic animation system when hitting the ball on the run or right after
- Camera : the 1st & 3rd person cameras were bugged on the new Training Court stadium
- Visuals : the crowd lighting could change during applause in indoor stadiums
- World Tour : the low & high tournament filters were not saved

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- AI : since the last update, the CPU was always serving to the middle :sweat:

[h2]New Features :[/h2]
- Stadium : Training Court, without any ball boys, line judge, crowd, etc., nor any of their sound

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Gameplay : the strike sweet spot tuning from the previous update also led to change the service sweet spot, which made the service a bit weird
- Animation : the service actual hit was occurring 1 frame later than the service animation

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Gameplay : tuned & fixed the sweet spots of the strikes
- Gameplay : lowered a bit the sliding rate, especially on hard surfaces
- Gameplay : lowered the topspin handicap when sliding

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Animation : fixed & improved various cases of the dynamic animation system, mainly from better-predicted positioning on strike
- World Tour : since the v0.67, the player list was messed up when choosing a player from the base
- World Tour : since the v0.67, when starting a new career, picking up a doubles specialist could make crash the game

[h2]Changes :[/h2]
- Gameplay : lowered a bit the extra reach when running to the side, so the players will bend a bit less weirdly in this case

[h2]Bug Fixes :[/h2]
- Gameplay : the sliding fix from the previous update actually totally turned off the sliding..! :sweat: It's now back on like before, because the root cause was actually the following bug
- Gameplay : the positioning helper on the run when preparing your strike could make you stop too early ; it wasn't much noticeable when running (as it could be compensated by pressing the strike button later), but it was very noticeable with the sliding as it was making you miss the ball
- World Tour : the CPU tiredness was disabled since the last update
