Beach Cricket 2002 - Full Version Release

Neil Pickup · 19-11-2003, 12:00 PM

You've been waiting for it for several years... and it's finally here.

I expect it will be bugged to hell, but when has anything I release been any other way?

Get hold of it at: http://gosh.ex.ac.uk/~nsp201/

I await your responses!

Mr. P · 19-11-2003, 12:11 PM

I am sure there will be many bugs, but heres a start.

It appears that GeoCities is immensely tight with bandwith allocations, so if anyone else would like to host this, I'd be delighted

Mr Mxyzptlk · 19-11-2003, 12:18 PM

Here's an idea, what about asking CW to host it? :P I must be a genius.

Neil Pickup · 19-11-2003, 12:19 PM

Problem solved.

I've finally got my head round the University's FTP access for sites:

Great! I'll finish off my story in the old version, then we'll see (maybe I'll start a new career as Denmark beach manager...) Thanks Neil! (69% of bc1210.zip complete...aargh...)

Neil Pickup · 19-11-2003, 04:21 PM

As expected, it was bugged to hell.

Here's the first major set of fixes (cheers for pointing half of them out, Sam

)

This is a bit unrealistic Last 8 of WC

Sri Lanka vs. Kenya
New Zealand vs. England
Canada vs. WIndies
Australia vs. India

Samuel_Vimes · 20-11-2003, 07:46 AM

well, jamee, where's the fun in having a completely realistic tournament? Besides, Kenya got to the semi-final of this year's real World Cup.

And I challenge you to get Namibia to a win over Australia :P (check my story...)

Jamee999 · 20-11-2003, 09:04 AM

SV 1 or the outher would be great you now

Not sure I get what this means..

I have played it pretty much to death and I'm happy with the realism. Over time, the better sides win out and I have only once (out of what is probably well past 100 times now) seen a "minnow" side win the World Cup.

That was me, as Namibia, and after that happened I rewrote the entire aggression code because it was too easy if you bowled on Aggression 1 all game. The AI will now settle and take you apart more often than not. I was also highly lucky as my opening bat (Danie Keulder as it was then) scored four or five centuries (can't remember exactly).

Neil Pickup · 21-11-2003, 01:08 PM

I've now got yet another patch online which fixes everything we've found that goes wrong so far.

That doesn't mean there won't be something else that goes wrong soon...
