Asia Cup Patch

[barmyarmy]

Cricket2004.co.uk is about to release an Asia Cup patch which will add Hong Kong and UAE to the game.
Release is imminent so here are a few screens of UAE to show you what you can look forward to...

and a second...

Hong Kong and UAE

 

[Prakash]

Can you give me more info about how you added those teams in the game.

 

[Ajit]

The screens look brilliant.

I haven't seen that bat before. Is it a new one.

 

[barmyarmy]

The bat is one of the Pakistani ones in the 2GB Bat Pack. The new teams have replaced two original ones through hex editing and creating about 40 new players (including 5 new Bangladesh, 4 new SL and complete squads for Hong Kong and UAE).

 

[kodos]

is there new commentary names or just the old ones???

 

[Ajit]

Which exe file are you editing

is it sam's or original

 

[barmyarmy]

Sam's is encoded so we're editing the original. Commentary isn't included although could be made as an add-on if there was enough demand.

Has anyone noticed that a few teams(80s,all times,robots,and four user teams) exist in all the ways but they are just not visible when we go to play now. Take examples:

1.In roster.pak all teams are defined not by offsets but by a single byte e.g. after the entire aussie squad(and only squad)there is byte which is 00 and this is 01 for bangladesh,02 for border,...,0d(=13) for india,...,1b(=27) for pakistan,1c(=28)for queensland and 36(=54) for vice chancellor's XI,
But after this at a small distance you find 00 00 00 ... 37 00 ... which means that the squad does not exist, and it goes upto 44(=68)
which means there are as many as 69 teams in the game

2.there is mention everywhere in the exe about these teams and there is "no such place where other teams' names are written but not these ones"

3.sound files exist a well.

what i tried was
1.replacing "1d of india with 1c" and "1c of hampshire with 1d" and the squads were interchanged.
2.putting a full squad in that region but that just didn't help.

 

[barmyarmy]

Yeah, it looks like some good ideas that were dropped due to the hurried release.

 

[barmyarmy]

This has now been released. See the main site.

 

[kodos]

wen i open i am about to play a game it always say "asiacup.exe have encountered a problem". Does anyone else experience this???

 

[Prakash]

How come there are 2 zipped kit files for each team

 

[barmyarmy]

There was a minor error with the exe which I fixed before uploading the wrong one. I've re-uploaded. I don't know if this will solves your problem but it will stop the game crashing when Hong Kong are selected.
