3D Energy Issues

Postby Wanderer » 26 May 2020, 21:16

Just started getting into the 'new' version, well done on the whole! I do have a couple of thorny questions.

** In 3D matches, both players start with a full energy bar even if the Match Energy is less than 50%. I don't see anything about this in the documentation, is this intended?

** Juniors training - it's difficult to know how much to train in between matches since you have weekly instead of hourly controls. Also, for tournament weeks, there's no way to change training at the start of the week until after you've played a match, which might be Friday or whatever if it's a qualifying week. Would it be possible to at least have access to the training screen at the start of the week?

Hello,

1) Before the match starts, it doesn't show the energy level because you cannot know how feels your opponent. As soon as the match starts, then the energy bar is shown correctly (hopefully, I got your question right :blackeye: )

2) When you see the training screen before a match and close it, it'll then train your player for each day available since the beginning of the week, so you can change his training schedule there. (if it's working correctly :fear: )
Note: on days with a match, the Junior players don't train.

Thanks for the reply. I actually properly logged in this time!

1) You got the question right, but what you described is not what's happening.

Image

The player in the lower-right is the only one with reduced energy, due to Short-Term Form. That part works. The Form of Day seems to only impact Text matches, not 3D ones. As shown here, Form of Day is 48%, yet the Energy bar is unaffected. That isn't the case in Text matches, which will have a shortened Energy bar under the same circumstances.

2) I don't get to see the training screen before the match in Juniors though. The sequence of events is this:

** Week before the tournament (qualification, so 2 weeks before main draw), I set my training. Then I advance the week.
** Travel screen comes up.
** Draw screen comes up. If I navigate to the player's Character Sheet from here I can't do anything with training.
** Clicking Play Match advances the time to the day of the match. Training happens, ratings change a bit, the pre-match screens come which show the character sheets for the players involved in the match.
** Not until after the match am I able to access the player training and make changes.

On #2 ... I don't know what happened. I tried to 'fix' it myself by turning on BreakAfterPlane in the .ini file - setting it to 1. That worked as far as it went, but then the game wouldn't advance at all no matter how many times I clicked Next Match/Week. So I turned BreakAfterPlane back to 0, and now I still have that break ... but it advances properly afterwards. I can set my training at the beginning of the week now, but I don't know why it wasn't doing that before since I returned the setting to what it was.

1) Ouch ; I had completely forgotten to update this tooltip for the 3D match, as the current one is only for the 2D match. In the 3D match, the Form of the Day lowers the skill directly.
It's fixed in today's update, thanks to your report ! :yes:

2) Your player likely just entered his 18 years and thus got the Pro training instead of the Junior training now, I guess.
Anyway, I added the Training screen before a tournament match even when the training is still the Junior one in today's update.
