Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[Allrounder18]

Here is my latest patch review

Ai didnt accelerate at all in the last 3 overs and they only managed 107/5 in 20 overs
Was good against new ball bowling
Was having trouble against spin. (pitch was in late 60s all
)

OK - another small update:

- better assignment of field positions in field editor
- tweaks to AI batting aggression
- fixes to Launcher (should prevent crashing)
- fixes to resolve corrupt textures (needs more testing)

@Allrounder18 is quite right - the current models make applying mocap a little difficult. I'm looking into MakeHuman to see if we could possibly start replacing models with that...

 

[Allrounder18]

I think you should make an official announcement on PC main page that if some one can design a batsmen and keeper model using makehuman.

@kurtkz
Can you increase the impact of PACE in the game , like more pacy bowler can get rid of low quality batsmen/ (batsmen whose vs pace skill is weak) more easily compare to the highly skilled but less pacy bowler? This gives incentive to train strength training in career mode.

 

[kurtkz]

@Allrounder18: Will do - that does happen already, but I guess it's not strong enough.

I'm really struggling to find some decent models to replace the umpire with. I've extracted most of the mocap animations for the umpire, but one or two still need some cleaning up. Unfortunately, it looks pretty bad with the current model due to the size of the model's head and hands, so I'm hesitant to continue using the current model.

I think for now, something ultra low poly would work because I can at least mod those pretty easily. If anyone has any textured ultra low poly models lying around, that'd be great. Even better - if you know of anyone who would be willing to make some ultra low poly models for the game, please bring them here!

Can this be used?
Low Poly Indian Cricket Player Vrat 3D Model - 3DOcean Previewer

Or you need the model to be rigged?

 

[kurtkz]

@Pat: Doesn't need to be rigged, but at this point it needs to be free :P

 

[Pat]

How about this?

human male 3d model

Free, free, free
Poly count is 2,800

Male human in t-pose fully textured. Low polygon count, and high quality texture. Suitable for a wide range of uses including games, rendered animations, architectural renderings.
Easy to rig.
This is a .zip file that contains the following:
orignal .blend, .obj&.mtl, .lwo, .fbx, .xsi & .jpg texture.

Hehe, I actually downloaded that one last night It looks a little weird, but could work for the umpire I guess. Not sure it'd work for the other models. This creates another problem - it will look really odd if I mix and match different models in the game.

I'm chatting to an artist friend of mine to see if he'd be willing to make something but it's probably going to cost me. I'll see what the outcome is though.

 

[Allrounder18]

@kurtkz

You can use makehuman default model with coat ,pant and hat as umpire model.

@Allrounder18: MakeHuman + MakeClothes is stupidly difficult for someone like me I tried and failed. Hard.

Not sure if you looked around on that site. It has quite a few free or very low cost ($1-$10) models.

Also, if you need to buy a model, I am sure all of us here can pitch in by purchasing another copy or two of your game

Actually its just makehuman model without make clothes ,just launch makehuman ,go to clothes section and then select coat ,pants and hat then export the model in to obj or fbx.

 

[kurtkz]

@Pat: Thanks, but I think I've trawled pretty much all of the internet for models now :/ They're all too different style-wise to use in the same game. Short of getting someone to make models for us or me paying someone to make models, I don't see a way out.

@Allrounder18: I couldn't find coat/pants/hat options. I don't think MakeHuman comes with a proper library of clothes.

 

[Allrounder18]

Make human does come with basic clothes like T-shirts , shirts , shorts , caps , coat , pants etc , will upload umpire model tonight hopefully.
