Having been a part of this forum for a short while now, I've decided to give something back to the Planetcricket community.
I have designed custom field settings tailor-made to every situation that I could think of in International Cricket Captain, for every type of bowler, for every line (off, middle and leg), etc.
Basically, I got frustrated with the sense of helplessness that players felt due to being limited to only a handful of default settings. Little things such as giving a single to the batsman, in order to get the tailender on strike, were not guaranteed by the default field settings.
So I decided to design my own fields. 699 of them.
Naturally, there are several things that could possibly go wrong with this:
a) There are 699 different fields. 78 for the pace bowlers, and 207 each for the three types of spin bowlers. Scrolling through hundreds of custom fields perhaps isn't ideal for many of you.
b) Finally, my field settings are by no means perfect, and by all means make your own adjustments.
Instructions for use:
1. Go to C:/Users/(Your Name)/AppData/Roaming/Childish Things. Make sure that your computer is able to view hidden files or you won't see the 'AppData' folder.
2. You will see the folder of your version of Cricket Caption. Open it, then go to the 'fields' folder. Leave it open.
3. Download and extract the Custom Fields.zip file below.
4. Open the 'Custom Field Guide' word document and read it. You will note that there are custom fields for every bowler type and situation.
5. Open the 'Custom Fields' folder. Open the 'Fast' folder. Select all files and copy them.
6. Go back to the folder we opened in step 2. It also has a 'Fast' folder. Open it. Then paste all the files we copied into this folder.
7. Do the same for 'Legspin', 'Offspin' and 'SLA' folders. For the 'Medium' folder you can use the 'Fast' files.
8. Finally, while you are playing a match, click on the field diagram next to each batsman, click on 'User Defined', and then use the tiny up and down arrow on the right to scroll down to your desired custom field.
Enjoy!
