Hi Solarisaint,

This US Open court looks SUPER!! The best yet!!!

Aren't you FINALLY happy with it yet?

If not, how much more CAN you do with it!?

Tell me, when you put your videos on youtube what level do you have the CPU set at...Pro?

I was wondering if maybe you have the CPU set at a lower level just for purposes of having some rallies on youtube...

The reason I ask is because when I'm playing against the CPU on Pro level 10, when he's serving, he serves SOOO many wide serves to the ad and deuce courts...serves that when I try to return them, my player is often not even in the picture...
Could it be due to the camera angle?
It looks like in your youtube videos that the CPU isn't serving as many serves way out wide...

Also, if this is indeed the finished product, could you PLEASE, PLEASE, send it to me?? (in a jpeg file, please)
I'm SOOOO tired of playing on clay!

Hey mate,

The courts look sensational - great work. Is there a place you have uploaded them or something?

[btaylor]

Hi Solarisaint,

Listen, I think your new Wimbledon court is SUPERB also, but if I may offer a couple of small suggestions....
While I like the way that you have the grass "mowed" in the vertical pattern, would it be possible or too much trouble to lessen the "contrast" a bit between the 2 colors of green, to make it a tad more subtle?...
I found it a little hard to "follow" the flight path of the ball as a result...

Also, with the line judges dressed in white at the back of the court, could you maybe be able to make them just a little more equal to the size of the players?
Right now they seem to be a little too "big" or "fat" ...If you get my drift....

Not trying to be too critical...but if you could do these 2 things it would truly be (to me, at least) the "icing on the cake"!

[solarisaint]

Hey Talyor
Im not 100% with that lawn yet, I do see that contrast problem, i just released it for the purpose of the new roof, i really don't get any feed back on this stuff
i was thinking of sticking with manutoo's lawn. I do have to adjust the line judges sizes as well as centering them.

Hi Solarisaint,

Is there any way to have the vertical mowing (touched up, of course) along with some of the "worn" spots of Manu's court?

[Tomek.]

what did I wrong?

[btaylor]

Hi Tomek.

Here's what worked for me (after much trial & error... and worrying Manu, CC, and Solarisaint to death)

1.) Go into the "tennis.ini" under "[3dEngine]" and change "dev mode" from "0" to "1"...

2.) Launch the game and start a match...

3.) When in the match, pause the game and press "F9" to get rid of the "line judges" (that are up in the air) as well as the second "chair umpire" (also up in the air to the right of your screenshot)

4.) While still paused in the "match", you can change or move the dimensions of the court (baselines, service lines and sidelines) by pressing the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,or 8...
With these numbers you can move the court dimensions up, down, forwards, backwards, and sideways 'til you get it set up right...
(you might want to check out "Moving The Camera" in Manutoo's "Data\HowToMod.html" to get a clearer idea of how to do this. )

6.) Once you get the court set up like you want, then quit the match, exit the game, and go back to the "tennis.ini", where you'll then go back to the [3dEngine] and change the "dev mode" back to "0" from "1"...

After you have done this, re-launch the game and you should see the difference...

p.s. Solarisaint told me that this US Open court is only the 1st one that he created, so the "blue" areas of the court aren't quite right...check out his latest US Open court on his "youtube link" posted earlier in this topic...

Hi
Im sorry i haven't been responding, i had to move my apartment in nyc because I had a hostile landlord that drove me out because I complained about the hot water and I've been mocing for the past 2 weeks.

[CC]

I hate that you are having to go through that, Solarisaint. I hope that you like your new place. Sometimes landlords aren't responsible.

[btaylor]

Yeah, sometimes landlords ABSOLUTELY SUCK!!!
Been there, done that...
