Hi Manu,

While bug reporting something else, I noticed that in Match in Training Club there’s an intro cutscene of players hitting the ball back and forth to each other and the camera panning from aerial view to the match. I thought this was a recent game update added feature (hadnt read all the logs 😅) but you said there’s not meant to be an intro cutscene in training club match, only World Tour. I don’t know if there was some overlap with Director Mode mod while I had it toggled off or something. But that reveals that it may be possible to have cutscenes of some sort, and we’ve had them on World Tour. Would it not be possible to add a basic cutscene at the start of the match for online to complement the scene animations that some of the modders have added recently? I know you’ve indicated you’ve stopped adding features, but with every update I notice new features so was just wondering.

Hello,

for the Training Club, offline, you can get the intro by adding this line to your Tennis.ini, under [TrainingClub] :
MatchIntro = 1
(HowTo => topic5-31732.php )

I won't add it for the online, there's too big a risk of desync, and thus it would require too much careful testing.

I'm only adding features that are a good reason to work on my AI skills (ie: vibe coding), or possibly small stuff for Modders.

Yes its something i added in director mode, you can toggle it too through the mod in the menu.
