ok thanks

[manutoo]

yiph2,
the Mac version is released (see the download link in the 1st post of the Unity Alpha topic).

I didn't test it much. Theoretically, it should work as well as the Windows version, but I already found & fixed a couple of issues that were Mac specific.

Manu, for many years I am your big fan, I watch your achievements. Not only that you have created the best tennis game in the world, it also shows how much you put in your heart and passion. This is amazing. I love reading your vlogs about game progress. Thanks to this, we can all be part of this, waiting for the next version of our favorite game!
Thank you for giving us not only a great game, but also that you allow us to participate in it.
Phenomenal.

bought tennis elbow manager 2, how come the Grand Slam Tournaments don't have the proper name. Says UK Slam instead of WIMBLEDON, etc. Also, I am in my 3rd year and the ranking are weird, Florian Ysern is #1 in the world??? and many others up front that are unknown, too...what's going on with that...

EmRen,
Wimbledon and other slam names are registered trademark and I cannot use them in-game without getting a license. You can easily change their name in Data\Tour.ini .

If you play in the future, then you get fictional players, different in every playthrough ; however, getting to #1 in only 2 years seems too fast.

What SubBuild of the game do you play with ? (it's shown in the Credits screen)
If it's not the last one and you're playing with the Unity Alpha version, then it's normal to have some issues with the fictional years.

In game since 2012 and question like this...?

I'm not a robot,
yes, it surprised me too as 1st, but actually there's likely a simple explanation : I guess he hasn't played the game unmodded for a very long time.

Hi Manu! How's everything coming along? Are you feeling better already?

[manutoo]

Strikeware203,
I'm still a bit sick, but my bad symptoms are mostly gone (eg: constant pain in the throat, then cough preventing me to sleep well), so I should be back to work this morning. Just need to kickstart the motivation and the focus..!
Thanks for asking.

[Strikeware203]

Glad to hear that! Hope you can get back to work soon, everything's looking great so far

Just a couple of questions so I can get started with the Unity version:

1) Are mods meant to be compatible with this version like the Beta version? I tried simply copying my calendar mod across and I just get a black screen after starting the game

2) Can I copy any other music to this version like I could with the Beta version? For example I copied the 3 TEM1 songs for the menu to get 6 in the Beta version because only 3 songs can get quite repetitive for me

3) The animations don't play out when creating a character and selecting their different stroke motions (don't know if this is a feature that is meant to be implemented or not at this stage, so I thought I might as well report it just in case)

[manutoo]

MichaelTA,

1) Yes, but there was a bug leading to a crash on load as soon as a Mod was installed ; this is fixed in yesterday's build

2) Yes :
a) Put your music files in "Mods/<NameOfYourMod>/Music"

b) Create this file : "Mods/<NameOfYourMod>/Ini/Music_Mod.ini"

c) in it, put :

Code: Select all

[Menu]
<NameOfYourMod>   =   MyMusic1, MyMusic2, MyMusic3

Replace "MyMusicX" by the name of your music files.

d) if you want to remove the original tracks, add this line :

Code: Select all

Base   =

Note: I didn't test, so I'm not sure it'll work correctly or not

3) It's normal, I still didn't put all the animations in the game...

"In game since 2012 and question like this...?

My gosh, just save your comments. Got nothing better to do?? Obviously I haven't played the game in years cause it got really boring, so now I finally bought TEM 2 and just didn't see any mods right away. You could have just said DOWNLOAD THIS MOD and you'll have realistic career just like Tennis Elbow 2013. There are so many versions, Alpha, Beta, Unity??? What the heck, yo! For the most realistic tennis experience in TEM 2, what do I install?

[manutoo]

EmRen,
there are 2 versions :
- the Beta version, using the legacy engine
- the Unity Alpha version, using the new Unity engine

The Unity version will hopefully come into Beta within 1 month, but before that it's recommended to use the Legacy version if you just want to play without hassle.

There's no big Mod available, but there are 2 Tour Mods :
