Hi Solarisaint,

On Fri. Jan 30, 2009 you wrote:
"You must disable scroll & zoom, then put in "court07", launch the game in the blue/green cement, and then enable scroll & zoom..."
Does this apply to the French Open court also? Should I do the above except launch the game in the "red clay" ?

The reason I ask this is because I forgot to first disable scroll and zoom before I put in the Court07 folder...
What would be the result of not doing this?

What I"ve got going on is this:
I've got the French Open stadium court working OK with the red clay, except when I'm playing the game, I get the characteristics of the blue/green cement court (squeaky shoes, ball sound and ball flight characteristics) instead of the sound of the shoes "sliding" on clay and that (to me, at least) ECHO-like ball bouncing sound of Manu's clay court.

When I go into the "play options" screen, the blue/green court is selected instead of the red clay, even though I'm actually PLAYING on the red clay court that you sent...however, when I change from the blue/green to the red clay I get that crazy screen, you know, the one with the correct court angle with the red clay, but without the FO stadium court...

I went back and checked out your FO youtube video, and you have the correct ball sound and court characteristics happening...any ideas?

Also, in my previous PM I asked if you use different camera configurations for the US Open court than for the FO court, as I don't quite have my US Open court filling up the "blue" areas of the court like you do when using the camera parameters you posted in the forum...

Hi
taylor, court07 is for blue green cement, manutoo told us to make court07 becuase that was the us open court that i was giving out at that time,
court07 folder has the ball bounce of a cement court, i'll send the right courtini folder for it and then label it court01 because that's the clay court.
or will see what manutoo say's.

Hi solarisaint,

I, too, was wondering if the "court07" thing might be the culprit, but I was too chicken to ask Manutoo about it!

yup, clay court should be put in Court01 ...

Anyone,

What is the "CustomCourt01"?
Is it the same as "court01"?
What is the difference?

The reason that I ask this is because Solarisaint said that he would "send the right 'court.ini' folder for the clay court and then name it 'court01' because that's the clay court."

Is the "court.ini" a folder, or is it a list of parameters much like the "tennis.ini"...with values that need to be set?
Or is the 'court.ini" to be "placed" into the "tennis.ini" with some value to be set?

It is my understanding that in the "tennis.ini" under [TrainingClub] the "court" needs to be set from "7" (blue/green cement) to"1" (red clay) to get the proper court attributes (sliding shoe sounds,higher ball/flight trajectory,etc.)

Hi
Taylor, just name your folder court01 that's it, don't worry about customcourt01

you might have to watch it several times for it to fully load in hd. Tennis simulation

Hi
taylor i emailed you the right court.ini, relpace it with the court.ini you have in that court01 folder you made

if you put the clay court in the "Court01" directory, you don't need to add any "Court.ini" to it.
The "Court.ini" is needed when using the "CustomCourt0x" directories...

Thanks for responding, Manu!

Yesterday, (2/25) shortly before Solarisaint said he would send me the "correct court.ini", I actually got the clay court to finally load correctly (with the proper clay court sounds & ball/flight characteristics) by placing the clay "court.jpg" into the "court01" folder/directory (just as you said...)

Something I'm still not clear on, though...is the "court.ini" a separate .ini from the tennis.ini?
I mean, where is it placed...in it's own folder/directory, or in the tennis.ini?

p.s. Thanks to you also, Solarisaint...your courts are TOO cool!!

(I'm think I'm ready to tackle the WImbledon court now... if you will send it "as a jpeg", please)

The "Court.ini" is beside the "Court.jpg" and contains all info of the court (sound, ball bounce physics, etc...).

Hi Manu,

So... they're BOTH placed inside the "court01" folder in order to CREATE a court...?

yup, but you don't need to put one by urself (except if u want to do some changes) coz the game will still use the default one for the Court01.

Manu,

Not quite clear with your explanation...did you mean that even if I have both in the "court01" folder that I, personally, don't need to bother with the "court.ini" UNLESS I want to make some changes in the game?

yup
