For those of you who are interested.
I noticed that when you bowl from around the wicket the bowler tends to tak an angular run up and also bowls from far away from the wicket. This means that the ball is pitched at a very acute angle and it is difficult to control the delivery.

attached is an updated version of Colins list which includes some offsets for Bowling animations.
I also have lots of offsets for camera settings not incuded in this list, cos I haven't figured them out as yet. any body who needs them is welcome.

THROWANIMS fast01 Basic16 Basic16 Basic16 fast04 fast06 NONE NONE
RELEASEANIM 5
THROWFRAME 42
FOLLOWANIMS fast06a fast06b fast06c NONE
FOLLOWANGLES 10.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
OVER 93.0 0.6
AROUND 85.0 -0.6
END

here is a short explanation of the values.
the first line indicates the animation file names to be used.
and the second the throw animation. the third is the point of release.
if you increase it then release is later.

Follow angles:Well that determines in what direction the bowler runs after the delivery. this is of no consequence in spinners, but helos in fast bowling. I coud rarely get c&b. But I changed the angles to make them run striaghter and started gettig C&b's. zerop degree means running straight ahead to the batsmans midstumps. positive values means he runs to the RHB offside.

Over and ARound
the first value refers to the angle of the run up. NOT the length the angle.
90 means a straight runup. zero would mean the bowler would runup from around midwicket area ( that is to the right of the umpire. )
values above 90 means bowler comes from left side of umpire. ( like a leg spiners runup )
The other value refers to the distance from the stumps from where the ball is balled.
0.2 means the bowlers standing on the stumps!
keep it between 0.4 to 1.0
negative values are for around the wicket of course.
so remember values closer to 0 means the bowler is going to stay close to the stumps.

I personally kept the runup angles different for different deliveries. and I keep the distance close to 0.5 for best results

best of Luck
the list is in the attachement

Interesting information... But I think its too late though...
Nevertheless, I like the idea... will try some combinations with these values...
 
Excellent finding, it is never late really. There will still be lot of guys playing Cricket 2004 till they can get BLC or Cricket2005.
 
blalock taussig I also have lots of offsets for camera settings not incuded in this list, cos I haven't figured them out as yet. any body who needs them is welcome.

Could you also update the camera angles and settings please and post an updated List txt with better angles
 
Man blalock taussig that was a great find it I have tried it and the offspiners bowl from outside the offstump I hope the same can be done to the camera settings.
 
Thanks for the updated (bowling params) list as well as the explanation mate!, never too late really, will try to do few things with it...

This is never too late. We all might be still using cricket2004 until we get our hands on the new games. And what if the new games have some below average reviews?

great job, taussig!! meanwhile, do i just update my List.txt file that comes with Prakas's config editor v3 with yours??

Nice work and good explanation.I think this may also work in Cricket2005.
 
The Champ said:
is it just enough to put it in cfg editor 3 or else we should do something more to activate it
Yes just replace the existing list.txt with this one and thats it...
Check at the bottom of the drop down for the above options.
