New Match Orders Page

Post by FTP-ashario » Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:56 am

An example of the new page can be found below

Installation date : During the end of season updates on October 16, which happens to be the game's 4th birthday (hooray!)

What is different?
- You can use drag and drop to alter the batting lineup (which should be quicker and more intuitive that using the drop down lists)
- You can use drag and drop to alter the bowling spell order (again, should be quicker and more intuitive)
- The structure of the bowling spells reflects the logical order of overs to be bowled. Note that the over numbers for each end are displayed to the left and right of the bowling orders section (eg 1,3,5,7,9,11,13 down the left, 2,4,6,8,10 etc down the right)

What is the same?
- The new orders page has no effect on the match engine itself.
- For phase 1, the orders page offers pretty much exactly the same functionality as the current one, in that there are still 10 fixed length bowling spells

What next?
- I'm sure there will be a few bugs crop up, because the way bowling orders are stored has been completely rewritten. Once these bugs are ironed out, further changes will be made so that....
- Managers will be able to specify the length of each bowling spell and will be able to specify more than 10 bowling spells per match if desired.
A sample screenshot of how the orders page might look once 'phase 2' is implemented is below.
