Version 41
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 8:05 am
Estimated Deployment date: Saturday 12-Jan-2008
Included in this version
Player Talents
The first version of this major new feature will be implemented in version 41.
All existing players will be allocated 1 or 2 talents. The list of talents and their effects in the game can be found in this thread http://forums.fromthepavilion.org/viewt ... ?f=1&t=824.
Fatigue for new teams
All players for new teams, and all youth pulls, will start life in FTP with energetic fatigue. In the past, players in new teams had rested fatigue, which was giving them an unfair advantage compared to teams that had been playing for some weeks.
Attendance affected by weather
The weather on match days now has a minor effect on attendance.
Run rates on slow pitches
It will now be a little easier for batsmen to score off Fast and Fast Medium bowlers on slow pitches. Thanks to ScalyPiscine for this suggestion.
Stats optimisation
Many of you may have noticed that the speed of the player details page was getting quite slow, due to slow retrieval of batting and bowling stats. This has been fixed (actually it has already been implemented).
Browser timeouts and the player popup
http://forums.fromthepavilion.org/viewt ... ?f=6&t=775
Fixed a bug where if your session had become inactive and you 'moused over' a player name to view the player popup, the login page would display in the popup.
Stumped off a wide
http://forums.fromthepavilion.org/viewt ... ?f=6&t=797
If a player was stumped off a wide, '1 W' was being displayed in the commentary, which was causing some confusion. This has been changed to 'wd W'
Female player names
http://forums.fromthepavilion.org/viewt ... ?f=6&t=734
A number of female first names have been removed from the player name library.
I may be able to squeeze some more features into version 41. I'll add further posts to this thread as required.
