Hey manutoo, sorry for disturbing you but I just can't find the way to play with a court I want to add in the game. How can I add a court that the game will read which will allow me te play on it? I've tried my own ways and I have also read forums that have tutos, but it doesn't work for me. Can you please help me?

If you have the files of the court you wanna use in-game(court.jpg, court.ini), then as i do i put the files in this directory Tennis Elbow 2013/Data/Court01 or Customcourt01 or whatever number it is and just replace the files in that folder and it must work when you launch the game.

Thanks for responding R-TEG, I've tried doing that a couple of times but it doesn't seem to work. Which files do I need to delete/replace in the Data/CustomCourt01 directory? Because there are many files!

2 ways to install courts:

1a. copy and paste the new court.jpg and the new court.ini to any existing court-folder ( you will lose the old files there !!! )
Than copy and paste the new .tga-file to menu/art/ico (this will be the new courts icon )

1b. I always do the way 1a. and when all old courts are overwritten I just create a new copy of the whole TE-game, name it new and start again with court 1.

2. If you prefer adding new court-folders think twice:
the number of court-folders will increase very much and you always have to edit the menu/global.def (for the number of icons) and the scripts/gamesys.ini ( for the nets ).


take care & bye

I explained the same thing you displayed here.
Anyway CHAPI, I meant, that in this directory Tennis Elbow 2013/Data/Court01 you have to replace these two files:
court.ini and court.jpg. The court.jpg is the court image and the court.ini is the file that defines the court's surface, the correct location of the lines to fit the court adequetly, etc.

First of all, thank you for your replies. I have tried doing that but it doesn't seem to work. In my CustomCourt file, there are many other files including some folders containing other files with court.jpg and etc. Do you know what I should do? By the way, thanks for your help already.

Also, what about the courttex.JPEG files? What should I do with them?

Hey guys, what you have told me actually works, I was just to dumb to realize that the court that I was adding was a 2d court. Sorry for wasting your time and thanks a lot for the preoccupation!
