Venus strikes are already in the game (with 1.0c) backhand and forehand I think and anyways the new strikes suit her style so no need to make them...

[Mesut]

hi, really good job, Can you try Verdasco's s strikes ?

[manutoo]

1st gratz to Neeko, he made some impressive anim... I had only time to check the youtube video, and will look them later in-game...
I already checked about giving unlimited edit restriction to a few users, but it requires a Forum Mod. I'll install it likely in 2 weeks.

Incorrect, Serena's strokes are in the game but Venus's are not. As a fan of both I can tell the difference

As a proud owner of a one handed backhand, i had to add some
What do y'all think of those ? Any critics ?

When I'm done with those, i'll work on Monfils and Gonzo's groundies and some serves (Becker, Karlovic and Graf )

Thanks ! Your opinion is more than welcome if you see some ways to improve those anims

Soderling's serve is amazing. But is it possible to use it online?

Didn't try honestly... Have you ?

I would like to ask you to make a tennis court like you mentioned, because there is only one person in the forums who can make the 3d stadiums (Jesp0008), but he is reachable once a year... So would you try making one for me if I ask you? Anyway your animations are insane

So I took a look at the Jesp0008 thread, and adding courts seems to be really hard. I'm a sketchup user when it comes to 3d modeling, so, I'll have a look about the effectiveness of the Max-Sketchup import/export to be able to use SU to model stadiums/courts. But frankly, don't be optimistic about this

gasquet backhand is AMAZING

[SamModder]

Wow very nice Gaquet's forehand is sooo good and also good for Dolgo For improvements maybe you should make the Gasquet strokes smoother as they are a little mecanical (gasquet 's backhand has to begin a little higher with racket above left shoulder)

Edit: Now Im thinking the mecanical problem may be because of the quality of the recording.

Hi Neeko, I tried AND ENOURMOUSLY ENJOYED!!! some of your anims, but I noticed something strange with the reactions (happy and angry). They seem to start late and don't end properly. I didn't notice it in the game, because it's just one very short moment, but when I replay the point, step by step, I have the movement ending with the player, let's say, just inside the baseline, but on the last picture he will be standing somewhere else, a few meters away, in the waiting position.
Je ne sais pas si tu comprends ce que j'écris , en fait il y a un truc qui ne semble pas très raccord. Mais c'est vraiment pour pinailler!

[Neeky McDeez]

Links to the the anims in the vid I previously posted. Some are still WIPs but it's better for y'all to test them so I can improve them.
Dont' forget to increase MaxForehand and MaxBackhand in "scripts/gamesys.ini", so you can create new playemale folders !
Enjoy.

This happens for all the reactions or some particular ones ?
Can you post a vid to show me the buggy ones ?

[SamModder]

Thanks Neeko will try them tomorrow what are the next strokes genious? please dolgo and karlovic seeerve haha

[Algo]

Simply beautiful.

[haas192]

These are great, but I would improve the ending of the strikes. For example Gasquet usually brings the racquet above his head when he hits backhands... And he finishes the forehand above his head or his shoulder... I mean in his forehand the wrist should be more loosy ... (I mean more flick of the wrist)

[rogerfed1]

Your animations are greats! Congratulations...
Can you do Kuerten Backhand and more slices strikes? it would be awesome...

[Algo]

@Mohamed, you might have noticed already I guess, but anims don't work online, at least with people that don't have them.

is it possible to asign the new anims to existing players in World Tour?

[SamModder]

Ok I think Ill remove what I said earlier haha really BIG thanks Neeko, perfect anims (Gasquet est vraiment terrible, jadore ses strokes XD )

EDIT: Amazing if you look well the Flat Gasquet backhand is really suiting Wawrinka too
