Tennis Elbow Manager 2

SubBuild 2022.3.26

Bug Fixes :


- Text Match : the skills were modified if you were viewing the Character Sheet of the players during the match

Version 1.0f - SubBuild 2022.3.25

Here the version 1.0f of TEM2, another maintenance update, with some improvements from TE4 as well !

New Features :


- Helpers : you can now select different visuals for the Danger Zone ; the new ones are a bit or a lot more discreet than the original one ; you can select them in Settings -> 3d Match -> Danger Zone
- Modding : you can now Mod the Danger Zone textures

Changes :


- Audio : added more echo to all the umpire announces
- World Tour : boosted a bit the strength of low-ranked women, especially around the rank #100
- Strike : lowered a bit the lob precision when your opponent isn't at the net
- Strike : lowered a tiny bit the defense lob speed, so it'll be less easy to do a winning lob with it
- Gameplay : lowered the extra-reach for all the strikes when the ball is very low or very high (as the racket describes somewhat of a circle instead of a linear limit), which should avoid some weird animations and give a more realistic reach overall
- Gameplay : slightly raised the time to stop to run when pressing a strike button so now it matches the time needed to trying to run in the opposite direction
- Animation : the players won't try anymore to hit the ball after it has bounced against a wall, to avoid doing weird animations

Bug Fixes :


- AI : the CPU should now never hit the ball out of sync
- AI : the CPU wasn't stressed by playing against a much lower-ranked player than him
- AI : in some situations, the CPU wasn't deciding correctly to switch to the slice
- Controls : cannot run into the crowd stand anymore by doing circle running near them
- Gameplay : fixed a rare bug that was fully depleting the player energy
- Animation : since a couple of Builds, the player wasn't running anymore to the side on volleys and was doing sidesteps which were leading to weird-looking volley animations
- Animation : fixed a little jerking that could happen when the human player had missed the ball
- Animation : when missing the ball, the strike animation could kinda pause for an instant
- World Tour : when your player was a Junior, your doubles partner had a better ranking than you and you wanted to enter a doubles Pro tournament, you were queued after all the Pros and thus always ended in the qualifications
- World Tour : doubles specialist with a low Doubles Spirit could get too high skills ; now the Doubles Spirit is raised instead
- Gameplay : the AutoPos could make your player goes in the wrong direction when the ball was very far
- Match Replay : fixed 2 related bugs that together were leading to desync on full match replay

Build 72 - SubBuild 2022.1.29

Bug Fixes :


- AI : when hitting on a end of the run, the predicted position for the CPU could be slightly wrong, leading to slightly out-of-sync animation (this is not a fix for the out-of-sync anim when the CPU arrives late on the ball ; this one will be fixed in a future update :fear: )
- Players : the outfit code wasn't applied correctly, making the World Tour players fully random

Build 71 - SubBuild 2022.1.28

New Features :


- Sound : new umpire voices, 1 from the UK, 1 from the US and 1 in German (thanks to Paulie, Bob Madden & Patrick Geyer !), and the base umpire voices have been redone as well
- Modding : new way to Mod the Grunt, all the court sounds, and the Umpire announcements => https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic60-33725.php
- Hall of Fame : updated all the real records to the end of 2021

Changes :


- World Tour : the women now serve about 4km/h faster when they have 50% in their Service Power skill
- World Tour : the players get tired faster if you have chosen to play with fewer sets than in real life (eg: a 1-set match instead of a best-of-3-set match)

Bug Fixes :


- Menu : the selection with a controller could get blocked in the "Exit current match" screen
- Gameplay : the service line was seen as bigger than it was by the line judges
- Gameplay : fixed a crash that could happen when pressing the acceleration buttons right before starting to serve
- Animation : the player could jerk left/right before hitting the ball with the Fast Autopositionning (and possibly in some other situations)
- World Tour : your player was sleeping (and thus wasn't resting) if you had played too much during the same day (ie: playing singles + doubles)
- World Tour : Junior ranking was changing on reload during the 1st year of your career

SubBuild 2022.1.14

Bug Fixes :


- the crash fix of the 2 previous updates wasn't working if you were still playing with the v1.0 men player base (or a Modded one based on that old base) >_<

SubBuild 2022.1.10

Bug Fixes :


- the crash fix done in the SubBuild 2022.1.5 was incomplete : it was leading to a crash later on (likely at the start of the following year) ; this should be now fixed for good (hopefully :fear: )

SubBuild 2022.1.5

Bug Fixes :


- Stat : the yearly stats of a Junior ending #1 that year were hidden
- New week : the game could crash on a new week, after adding a player in the player base (which I did in the previous update, for the women) & then loading a saved game ; this bug could also do some funky stuff on the past rankings of the players (visible when seeing H2H or stuff like that)

SubBuild 2022.1.4

New Features :


- Hall of Fame : updated all the real records to end of 2021

Bug Fixes :


- Players : most women had a one handed backhand instead of a 2 handed one
- Players : since 2 updates ago, the racket could get too big, especially for Junior players

SubBuild 2022.1.2

Bug Fixes :


- Player : player's potentials when starting a new career with an existing player were all wrong (since the previous update)
- World Tour : the tournament limit for your Junior player was miscalculated when you were participating in the main draw in singles and had lost in the doubles qualies (and vice versa)

Build 67 - SubBuild 2021.12.27

New Features :


- Modding : you can now define the custom camera for 2D courts like this :
[Camera]
AspectRatio = 16:9
AutoU1 = 0.3323
AutoV1 = 0.2106
AutoU2 = 0.8297
AutoV2 = 0.7810

ie: no more manual positioning of the camera, you just note down where are the top left & bottom right corners of the lines ! To get these coordinates, divide the pixel's X by the width, and the pixel's Y by the height (so the coordinates will be normalized and thus will still work in case you resize the image afterwards). U1/V1 is the top left line corner, and U2/V2 the bottom right line corner. For courts without a corridor, add this line :
AutoNoCorridor = 1

Changes :


- Skills : halved the extra precision bonus when having the Precision more than 20% above the Power (eg: having now 100% Precision vs 60% Power is equivalent of having before 90% vs 60% => (100-60)-20 = ((90-60)-20) * 2)
- Strikes : lowered the speed bonus for the Short Acceleration & Short Strike when the Precision is above the Power ; plus now if you're mispositioned, you won't get that speed bonus ; and inversely, the speed handicap is lowered when the Power is above the Precision, and the handicap is totally removed when you're very badly positioned (because you already get other penalties from the mispositioning anyway)
- Lob : lowered the lob precision when your opponent is not at the net and you play with Arcade or Simulation control

Bug Fixes :


- Skills : a few of the main player mental skills would change the 1st time the career was reloaded
- Players : some fictional players weren't assigned a Best Rank, leading to a crash
- Animation : all strikes requiring up/down direction (in legacy TE2013 controls) could have their animation weirdly played with some acceleration and slow down during it (for human controlled players)
