https://www.managames.com/download.php?TE2009_fe1a.exe [Permanent direct download link to the latest version]
http://toogame.free.fr/Files/TennisElbow2009.exe [Mirror site for people having corrupted download from managames.com - but not up to date all the time]
New Features :
- Gestures : 2 new gestures : applauding & sorry ; gestures are now context sensitive; ie: you can do the raging fist only when winning a point, not losing it ; all gestures are now remapped to B1+B2+down & B1+B2+up
- World Tour : Tournament past champions screen
- Wildcard : tournament directors of the following week can propose you a wildcard when you reach the semifinals or better of your current tournament
- Wildcard : can get a wildcard when entering a full tournament in your home country (it's automatic, it depends if other players already got wildcard or not)
- Wildcard : CPU players can get wildcard for Challengers, Futures & qualifying draws
- Gameplay : the ball randomly touches the net during the serve
- WorldTour : added a warning when selecting a tournament occurring in more than 30 weeks
- WorldTour : now, if you don't play in December, you get a little bonus of experience points
Changes :
- World Tour : some players tuned
- Gameplay : the more the ball is low under the waist, the less top spin one can put in it (both for human & CPU players)
- Gameplay : low volley & medium volleys are noticeably more effective
- Gameplay : drop shots can't fly super fast away anymore
- AI : the CPU player rushes the net a lot better when doing a serve-and-volley
- Online : Autolag calculation slightly tuned to take more in account the variation of ping, so it should be a bit higher when the ping is instable
Bug Fixes:
- World Tour : now, in windowed mode, if you exit the game by clicking on the top-right cross, when you are in a menu without the "Exit" button, then the game won't be saved anymore, instead of saving a corrupted state (so you'll lose all progress made since the last automatically saved game) ; this bug has been incorrectly reported as fixed in the previous build
- Settings : the Autopos & Preview settings aren't overwritten anymore when playing online
- AI : CPU players slide a bit less when doing gestures after a run
Notes :
- Changelog of previous versions is here : topic15-1711.php
- as usually, if you notice any glitch or bug, thanks to report them !
- don't forget to exit TE2009 before to install the latest version
Important Note :
Post in this topic only if it's related to the latest new version, ie only for these 2 cases :
- about a point listed in the New Features / Changes / Bug Fixes
- about a bug that you are sure didn't happen in the previous version but happens in the new one (else, post in the "Bug Report" forum)
Do not write about anything else, else I may delete your post without any prior warning (or at very least, I won't answer it) ; if you're not sure your topic is related or not to the latest version, just create a new topic in the forum, it'll be fine...
Also on a side note, don't send me PM ( = Private Message) except for Private thing. Everything that can be read by everybody should be pointed out / asked in the forum, so my comments & answers could also be read by everybody, and hopefully, I won't have to write them again when someone else will have the same comments / questions...
