Then, when the game would resume, the ball would travel too much in a single frame, making it impossible to reach. This is now fixed with a new algo for calculating the amount of time passed since the last frame. <li>AI: changed logic with which _human_ players choose the impact point. High impacts are preferred. This implies your passing shots will be faster. <li>crash fixed: sometimes the game would crash on volee, especially with ivan. <li>control logic: if you increase the shot height, and the resulting shot happens to be too vertical, then the shot length is increased as well. <li>bug fixed. Sometimes the initial shot was stuck, i.e. impossible to change. <li>sound engine improved. If -nosound is given, there is no attempt to initialize the sound system. <li>improvement for distro packagers <li>changed default surface to cement <li>major bug fixed: sometimes, especially on volleys, the initial aim would be impossible to change. <li>major bug fixed: in two player mode, after starting the game once, the server would refuse to start again unless you change the port or wait a minute. <li>gameplay: tuned various attibutes <li>graphics: the court lines and net ribbon are drawn with a less saturated color. <li>AI: improvements in choosing the shot <li>gameplay: slightly improved the mouse input logic <li>tuned fps calculation, so that the game is now smoother at high refresh rates. <li>bug fixed: the human player was able to respond to service with a volley.</ul> | Free Tennis 0.3.15 | updated | Free Tennis |
