Version 41

Post by FTP-ashario » 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.

Additional items in this release

Schedule changes for youth and senior training/academy updates
http://forums.fromthepavilion.org/viewt ... ?f=3&t=827

Removing stadium seats
Updated the rules to clarify the fact that removing seats costs the same as adding them.

Too many matches showing on the ground page
Fixed a bug where too many matches were displaying on the Ground page
http://forums.fromthepavilion.org/viewt ... ?f=6&t=810

Fatigue tweaked
The recent implementation of variable fatigue has been modified slightly. It was found that on the whole player fatigue accrual had been reduced a little too much in the most recent update, so players will now accrue slightly more fatigue when playing a match.

The date for this release has changed from Thursday to Saturday. Apologies for this, but if I deploy it on Thursday, the move of the senior training update to Thursday will cause some countries to enjoy two training updates this week.

On the plus side, it gives me time to fix some more bugs and do some more testing. I'll add another post to this thread with further details later this week.
