Hey folks.

There is a new release of The Online Cricket Game ready for you to test.

The main changes relate to the first effort at implementing the new GUI from AounArts. This will take some time to get right so thanks to AounArts for helping to make it look pretty :yes

The first class career progression should now be working correctly. I have not been able to find a major bug with this over my testing period but please let me know if you find any issues.

The save and load options should now also work no matter where you are up to in the game - again, I haven't been able to find any major bugs so please let me know if you do.

Some screenshots of the first effort at the new GUI are below:

From here I need to fix the way the teams are implemented due to some issues I am having with that. I have all the required teams but need to recode how the teams are selected etc. I'll be adding in more teams over the next week with the hope of having them all in there by the middle of January.

If people can test and advise me how they get on, that would be great.

cheers guys

Hey folks,

A new test version of www.theonlinecricketgame.com has been uploaded.

You can access this through the Test Version link on the homepage of www.theonlinecricketgame.com.

The Load and Save options are still disabled on this version until that functionality has been completed.

Some modification have been made to the Stats screen as per the screenshot below:

All feedback is welcome, thanks folks.

Hey guys.

I have uploaded a new test version of the game to www.theonlinecricketgame.com. The link to launch the game can be found on the homepage under the Test Version heading.

This version currently has the Australian and English clubs available. The remaining clubs should be up by the end of the weekend.

I have disabled the load and save options on this version as the coding for that still needs to be implemented.

New features:
Country, Region, and Club team selection
Points table

Currently working on:
Finalizing the points table (making sure it all works - please post any issues you see with this as I have not been able to do much testing)
Adding in semi-finals & finals
Adding in First Class career progression

All of these things should be completed within a few days.

I will update the Test Version application link regularly over the next few days as I add in features / fixes.

The previous version is still available through the normal link on the site so you can still load / save any old games that you have been playing.

It would be great if people could try out the test version and let me know what isn't working or what needs some attention.

cheers all,
tocg

Hey folks.

The Online Cricket Game now has a team generator.

You can find this under the Team Generator heading on the homepage at The Online Cricket Game.

When you generate a team a file will be saved to your local machine (note: the location of the file will be displayed at the bottom of the generator once you click "Create Team").

If people have some time, can you generate some teams in your area. Once you have finished generating teams the files need to be sent to [email]theonlinecricketgame@gmail.com[/email].

Please make sure the regions and clubs are real regions and clubs. Any that are not real may not make it into the game.

This will make it easy for me to get bulk club teams into the game, and therefore will let me put the next update online sooner.

If there are any issues with this please let me know.

I have tested it and generated 50+ teams in about 10 minutes :)

Any questions / feedback please let me know.

cheers to all the helpers out there! Without you this game would not be possible.

I will put some details together tomorrow and post so that people know which regions / clubs / countries we need clubs generated for.

*** Also - to those that have replied I appologise for the slack response. I needed to get this done as the flood of clubs coming in was overwhelming.

I will spend some time tomorrow replying to all threads & emails.

cheers guys

Hey folks.

I've added a link to www.theonlinecricketgame.com which will allow you to download the team template. The link can be found under Team Template on the homepage.

This file has code in it so for this to work only the specified areas in the file should be edited.

At the moment I need club teams, and lots of them. As many club teams as I can get for each region.

When each region has enough club teams I will add that region to the game so you will be able to play as your own club :)

This may be a little confusing so please let me know if anyone needs clarification.

Thanks to all those who are helping out :)

Hey folks.

I've now added in more dismissal types. I still need to work through stumped and also sort out the caught behinds.

I've started tweaking the batting performances so see how you find that. I'm still not happy with it but will continue to work on tweaking that today based on any feedback I get.

I've also fixed up some minor issues, such as the Fall Of Wicket alert box so it displays the correct fall of wicket details, among others.

Any issues with the new version please let me know,
cheers

Hey guys.

The latest version of www.theonlinecricketgame.com has been uploaded tonight.

The new version features 50/50 matches, as well as updates to the fixtures screen.

Please note: I have also changed the way games are saved. In order for you to load any games you have previously saved you will need to load them through the new load button.

After you re-save the game you can load it from the normal load button.

I am finishing off the saving of the fixtures etc tonight, currently when you load a previously saved game all yoru fixtures will be reset.

If anyone finds any bugs etc please let me know asap... especially around the save options.

Happy to answer any questions,
cheers

I won't be uploading the new version tonight as planned.

I will have this ready tomorrow.

Hey guys.

I've uploaded a new version of www.theonlinecricketgame.com tonight.

The new version **should** fix the issues people were having with not being able to save - Please let me know if you can or can't save so I know how that has gone.

I still need to add some parts of the save / load in, especially with the new fixtures as they are not saved at this stage. That will be fixed over the next day or two.

I have added in the Fixtures, Points Table, and (virtual) Seasons. These are just the basics at the moment so you cannot 'win' a season yet. Once you have played all your fixtures some new fixtures will automatically be generated. I will have more done on this by the end of the weekend. Hopefully you will then be able to win a season, play in the semi finals and final.. if you're good enough :p

I have also modified the current batting engine so that there are more singles, less fours, and less dot balls. Feedback on this would be great, I played about 25 games and it looked better than it was previously.

cheers all

As a bit more info on the save option, everything should now save within the game. i.e. all runs, balls, wickets,50s, 3 wicket bags, players role etc.

The part that isn't fixed is where it comes up with "Unable to save" for some people. I'm working on that though.

Also working on finishing off the seasons, points tables, and fixtures.

At this stage you will still play against the same teams, as in, one from each country, but I'll be implementing the first class teams from each country, and if people want to start putting their club teams forward for the game I'll start adding them to each of the first class regions.

Do you think adding in your real clubs is a good option?

cheers

Uploaded a new version of www.theonlinecricketgame.com tonight.

The basic save and load functionality has been fixed, but we're still yet to implement the Load and Save As boxes so at this stage it may not work on some machines.

cheers
