SubBuild 2024.6.5:

New Features :
- Animation : you can set back the previous running animations for your player in the Training Club by adding these 2 lines in your Tennis.ini, under [TrainingClub_p1] : (HowTo => topic19-32161.php )

Code: Select all

AnimMoveForward   =   Legacy
AnimMoveBackward=   Legacy

Note : this doesn't change the tuning of the default back pose (ie: spine bones)

Changes :
- Animation : dialed back a bit the back base pose of the male player (ie: spine bones)

Bug Fixes :
- Controller : it was not possible to bind buttons & axises to a configuration whose index didn't match the controller index
- Stats : the number of services was twice too big (since the SubBuild 2024.5.22)

Version 0.97 - Build 131 ; SubBuild 2024.6.26:

New Features :
- Localization : Chinese translation updated, thanks to XK !

Changes :
- Gameplay : raised the Short Acceleration speed a bit, especially when it's done at shoulder height
- Gameplay : hitting an acceleration against a raising/falling ball now lowers the precision on extreme cases and a bit less the accel speed (and still reduces the speed as before on normal cases)
- Gameplay : accelerations are a tiny bit longer
- Gameplay : All Rounder & All-court Attacker's normal strike speed bonus now applies only to the forehand and not to the backhand anymore

Bug Fixes :
- AI : the CPU could miss the ball by a few centimeters when rushing the net
- Gameplay : the service line was seen as 0cm wide for the fault calls, making some balls fault when they should have been in
- World Tour : some saved games could be wrongly flagged as invalid when switching between men & women in the Load menu
- Commentary : serve context was always on the 1st serve, even during the 2nd serve, giving a series of wrong comments
- Launch : since a recent update, the NoMod option was making the game crashes

Build 132 ; SubBuild 2024.7.6:

New Features :
- Rendering : highly optimized the distant crowd so it takes 5 times less polygons and memory, which should greatly help to lower the number of random game closing on Xbox ; in addition, on consoles, the Near crowd detail is now slightly lower (about 45% less polygons) ; in the US Slam stadium (the 2nd biggest stadium after Shanghai), the total memory use for Near + Distant Crowd is now ~500MB instead of ~1.6GB

Changes :
- Strike : when the player stands 3.5m behind the baseline or further, the acceleration depth is like before the Build 131 (to avoid too curvy accelerations)

Bug Fixes :
- Online : if a CPU player had an AI Strategy, it was making the competitive doubles desync because the Client didn't clear the Strategy

Version 0.98 - Build 133 ; SubBuild 2024.7.24:

New Features :
- Helpers : added the aiming preview for the service (note : your preview in the World Tour might be changed, you can set it back to your wanted level, go to your Character Sheet)
- Modding : it's not possible to rotate the NPCs and hide the middle line judge (see section 5 here topic60-34047.php )

Changes :
- Service : lowered the maximum possible spin for the very slow services (under ~100km/h), because the curve was way too pronounced
- Online : raised the number of Talent Stars from 4 to 5

Bug Fixes :
- Replay : the ball impact mark could be slightly misplaced on serve
- AI : in some cases, the CPU could think the ball was going into the net while actually it wasn't, leading to having no strike anim and possibly other issues
- Menus : the player photos could get distorted
- World Tour : disabling the Alternate Acceleration Style wasn't saved
- Modding : textures whose dimensions were not power-of-2 were using double the needed memory (note : it's much better to have power-of-2 sized textures so they can get compressed and use 75% less memory !)

SubBuild 2024.7.26:

Bug Fixes :
- Helpers : the Preview wasn't correctly set from the Help screen
- Commentary : serve context was always on the 1st serve, even during the 2nd serve, giving a series of wrong comments (it was still not completely fixed by the SubBuild 2024.6.26 )

Build 134 ; SubBuild 2024.8.26:

Changes :
- Online : now "Settings -> Training Club -> Online: hide opponent's preview" will also hide the opponent's aiming preview

Bug Fixes :
- Tutorial : the button labels were always for the generic controller even when you had an Xbox or PlayStation controller Tag Type
- AI : in some situations, the CPU wasn't jumping at the net (note : there's no animation, the player just moves a bit fast for a fraction of a second)
- World Tour : some players were getting way too strong during their junior years
- Online : if an Xbox player was joining a Coop Doubles, it'd make the game hangs
- Rendering : the lines were not correctly anti-aliased when the 2D Background was enabled
- Xbox : having no Profile picture was making the game hang on launch

Version 0.99 - Build 135 ; SubBuild 2024.10.16:

New Features :
- UI : you can now raise the font size in Settings -> Misc ; this is done automatically on the 1st run on SteamDeck (for new users)
- Online : you can now permanently ban a player (and unban him at any time from Online / LAN -> Banned players)
- Preview : added different ball impact previews (set it in Settings -> 3D Match)
- Modding : it's now possible to move the match time & speed texts (read the section "7) Moving the Speed & Match time texts around" here for explanations : topic60-34047.php )

Changes :
- AI : the Incredible CPU will now be much much harder to be aced by another CPU player (against humans, it's still the same)
- Modding : modded animations aren't all loaded anymore on game start-up, to speed up the init and save some memory

Bug Fixes :
- AI : the CPU could let the ball pass after having jumped at the net
- Animation : the CPU could hit the ball with his racket far from it because he didn't reach for it
- Animation : some strike animations could get very strange when done while running or just after finished to run
- Xbox : the game was very slow to load with big Mods

Build 136 ; SubBuild 2024.10.25:

Bug Fixes :
- AI : the Incredible CPU was doing way too many wide faults on the serve (and the Master a bit too many)
- World Tour : the White outfit (for the UK slam) wasn't always activated correctly
- Modding : the 2D net had a black outline when the screen resolution was higher than 1440p

SubBuild 2024.10.28:

New Features :
- Xbox : added support for 120hz on Xbox Series (I cannot test, so please report if it's working or not)

Bug Fixes :
- Online : the game could desync on the 1st point when having played a match before
- Online : the game could desync forever when having a match saved in the Training Club and hosting a game

[manutoo]

SubBuild 2024.11.9:

Changes :
- Online : the current Mod name is replaced by a concatenation of all active Mods' names, allowing to avoid desync if one of the Mod doesn't match

Bug Fixes :
- Animation : the player could glitch when missing a ball, especially when it was bouncing twice in front of him

[manutoo]

SubBuild 2024.11.27: (only for consoles)

Bug Fixes :
- Modding [Xbox] : the previous SubBuild raised the possibility of the game to crash & exit
- Modding : optimized even more the memory handling to avoid the crashes as much as possible when Mods are loaded
- Modding [PlayStation] : it should now be possible to toggle the 2D Background while playing and having Mods (it might still crash when done several times or when playing doubles )

[manutoo]

SubBuild 2024.12.12: (only for PlayStation)

Bug Fixes :
- Input : the Touchpad click could get stuck (leading to constant clicking in the menus) till the next click ; it may still not be 100% fixed if you have a mouse plugged in ; if it happens, just press the Touchpad to make it stop
- Camera : changing the camera zoom could lead to random camera resets in the menus
- Rendering : the flashing in low light conditions could still happen in a few borderline cases
