Config file for CPU - determining values for editing purposes
Work in progress
This file has the exact fields as tinternat.cfg (and other difficulty level cfg's), and some of the fields in tinternat.cfg appear to affect the CPU as well. And some of the fields in tcombat.cfg have no effect, being overridden by the tinternat.cfg file. Alot of the fields are pure guesswork by me and some are as a result of testing by others and myself. Actually from findings so far its difficult to find a setting in the tcombat.cfg file that IS used by the CPU, they seem to come from the tinternat.cfg file.
One of the programmers for BLIC'99/SWC'99 went to EA sports and alot of the config files in EA Cricket appear very very similar. I have purchased EA Cricket 2005 and will be attempting AI edits there as well, however I love SWC'99 and its easy to edit and observe results.
If I am successfull in interpreting and editing the BLIC'99/SWC'99 files, it should make it easier to understand and edit the EA Sports Cricket 2005 files.
I find the basic game engine is pretty good considering its age and IMHO its vastly superior to BLIC 2005 (which I also have) with the exception of graphics, bowling options and a few sundry items such as hawkeye.
