Is UltraKricket dead?
Is UltraKricket dead?
I've been looking at the screen shots and Ultrakricket looks really cool, but since I have been playing TU it's been dead. Is it ever going to come online again?
The reason i aint done much with Ultrakricket recently is that i intended to improve the gameplay of it a bit to make it more interesting.. Currently (assuming it still works at all), the bowling and batting was done in a very simplified way which i think gets a bit dull fairly quickly.. Its on my list to add some stuff like being able to bowl with spin (curveballs if you prefer) and have a greater range of shots available.
So you might wanna wait till whenever that gets done.. (2015 at current rate of spare-time & energy.)

I know i have been AFK for like 2-3 months, but i'm not gone yet! I still plan on getting my planet back on track, but have been uber-busy for the past couple.
Currently hornball still works on Swabs but u need to have a knight around to start it up. (Maybe we could have a way for anyone to start a game as long as one is not in progress?) I would love to see a lil' development in that corner too... A live scoreboard would be cool (like a billboard) and also terms to the game... 10min game or first to 5 or something (settable!) Rewards for winning would be alright... but playing for stakes would be even better!
Anyways, I would be more than happy to add UltraKricket to Swabs @ any point if it still works. (it was in the origonal plan)
I'm kinda (sorta) around now so that would be no problem. Mit, if u want to shoot me somthin on how to set it up i'll get it done soon (keep in mind im an American bloke an the word 'cricket' is not in my vocabulary... =] ) Otherwise we could go over it when were both on sometime.
BTW - Don't worry.... there's a sweet new Bdat comin soon. I've been doin a lil work behind the scenes, an once it's done i'll put it up and start V1.0 of the world (an with a brandy-new name!)

Hornball *should* start itself automatically on next servers & client (as hedge also requested that recently).
Scores, times n stuff.. yeh.. i'll try to get some of that in soon. Like the ballreset tho, It'd probably be simplest to put that in as a knight initiated thing at first - and for this stuff, in a way, i think it'd be kinda nice done that way... practice and playabout when theres no knight on, games nd events when there is.
I'll have a look through the kricket stuff somepoint soon and try to do you a summary.. i have no idea whats still left working from before or how its used... actually... zar could probably give u a better answer than me atm :]
