@miguel : Sometimes I wonder why I write explanation... :roll: Look again at the 1st message of this topic : The AI is very basic ! And I guess there's a problem when the AI is on the most difficult level. To revert back to a normal level, edit the Tennis.ini and change "[TrainingClub_p2] - Le...

Ok, I have detailed all the new concepts in this topic : https://www.managames.com/Forum/ftopic1496.php But please, try to figure out by urself before reading the explanations... My goal is to try to make these explanations not necessary to enjoy the game at 1st..! (else many people wouldn't like it...

Hello, Ok, so here we go for the explanations about the new gameplay concepts & rules introduced by TE2009. They will be detailed in the full documentation with the final version release, but hopefully, players will be able to guess by themselves more or less what they are. Mainly, there are 3 i...

ahmedcoolio , you can increase the speed of b1+b2 by raising the power of the shots in the .ini, as well as lowering the topspin. There's also an in-game variation of the spin... I'll explain more soon if u can't figure it out by urself... ;) About volleys, here a tip : carefully look the green zon...

@Everyone : I updated the Test version once again. - I tuned the sliced serve, coz it was too weak, now it's working great (a bit too great actually, the AI has big trouble to return it :P ) - I tuned the end of the forehand anim, it should look a bit more natural now @fox : 1- you can slice when r...

yup, 3D courts are definitively a possibility for the future, but really not sure when, it'll depend of budget... Maybe for TE2010...

ok... The goal is to try to guess why it's there !

@Everbody : I have updated the test version again so now you can change of court (but you'll always _see_ the blue-green cement); to be sure it's working, try the grass : the rebound should much lower than on cement..! @Serena_Fan : I changed the display to MPH according to the option set. You thin...

Ooops, yup, it reverts itself to Blue Green Cement (not only visual, but everything)... I'm going to check that...

You can change the court : it'll change the ball rebound, and sounds, but not the court visual, which will always be the blue-green cement.

@Santiago92 : TE2008 will need very bit of translation, but u'll have to wait the game to be finished, coz now, I still didn't add the new texts to it..! ;) @milos : Unfortunately, the 3D models are more or less final, it's only what I could get done for my low budget, so I hope it'll be ok... :rol...

Beta = not a final version....
Actually, here it's probably even not an alpha, but I was lazy to change the warning text...

@ahmedcoolio : I got ur System.log , it seems normal. Did you try to patient 30s, or even 1 min, to be sure the game really doesn't start ..? @Tom Paulman : is the drop shot volley an easy strike in real life ..? ;) The drop shot isn't b1+b2+up anymore coz now all b1+b2 shots use acceleration (whic...

On the 1st run, you may have to wait up to 30s before entering the menus. Can you see the loading screen ? If not, it means something is really wrong. Thencould you send me the "System.log" from your TE2008 directory ..? You may try also to reduce the resolution (by running the Configurati...

Tennis Elbow will never simulate : - amateurish players striking in the ball less strongly than my grandmother, and running less fast than a snail with broken legs - the technicality of the tennis, by using only hands on buttons, coz it's just totally impossible to simulate what all the muscles do i...
