and hey mit why dont we get prizes for high scores? i got like a 14 and i got nothing.
Biggest Kricket game ever
heheh, nice pic kitchen :]
how did the game behave? Kricket in general is overdue for a few refinements to make it more playable (and the physics settings on Zion were a bit wonky i thought) - but its the kindof thing that needs a few ppl around to test properly. I imagine it could be quite a laugh with that many ppl on if its finished up a bit more (proper team scores, more variation in batting/bowling/fielding etc)

Main probs i noticed were more to do with player behaviour: people standing on the pitch, people bowling when the batter wasn't ready, that kinda thing. As an Op obviously I could bring people off the pitch but with 10 ppl playin it got a bit hard to keep track.
That and the fact that people kept trying to kill VDZ when he was at the crease by crashing biplanes into him ;)
Other probs I noticed were missing stump models and inconsistent ball shadows... other than that it seemed to work as designed. So yeh, get those batting/bowling moves sorted, and I might even have another go at some kricketer models...

Well it was.VDZ wrote:My favorite comment was when kitchen had this huge plane right in front of Repochus, who was batting, and caught the ball right after he hit.
Repochus> wtf thats lame
A funnier thing happned to me, i was flying about over the kricket pitch and caught the ball
Not only that but you can change vehicle in the middle of a match adn the jetpack can be used to catch balls in mid-air, thus stopping a six or what ever.Kitchen wrote:if you joined the game in like a hovercraft you would run around like you were driving one, it happens with every vehicle.
some suggestions:
1. make a special vech for the game, and set it so if you join, you can't change that vech.
2. if your not playing the ball should go right through you, as if you wern't playing
3. the bowler can't bowl until the batter is ready, by swinging the bat.
4. the bowler could have some options to the type of bowl there going to play, like a top spin, side sping, back spin etc etc.
5. the speed of the ball could be determined by a power bar, hold tab down and it go's up, if it reaches the top, it go's down again, release tab to bowl.
6. if there is no bowler (eg the bowler leaves) but there are fielders, one of the fielders should become the bowler.
7. 2 types of game, free play (ie like it is now) or team play, where the players are split into 2 teams, and each team player has one go at batting until all team players are gone, the teams switch and the second team bats.
Also when you get time, some other games would be nice, like baseball, athletics games etc etc.
And when zion comes up, can we have a football pitch
(soccer pitch to those ammericans here who use differrent english words than the rest of the world)

That already happens doesn't it? I'm pretty sure...2. if your not playing the ball should go right through you, as if you wern't playing
Spinner or fast bowlers4. the bowler could have some options to the type of bowl there going to play, like a top spin, side sping, back spin etc etc.
Would be good on Ultrakricket7. 2 types of game, free play (ie like it is now) or team play, where the players are split into 2 teams, and each team player has one go at batting until all team players are gone, the teams switch and the second team bats.
Thats not going to happen... Mit and his monkey mates hate football... I supose he could put a hornball pitch on without to must hassel.can we have a football pitch
Well, I'd imagine that 100meters would just be like a raceAlso when you get time, some other games would be nice, like baseball, athletics games etc etc
Explain how these idea's could work.
