Clicking on change resolution gave me a MAV
Would like to have more range of vision when
aiming in 3D mode. The cue stick seems locked
down to flat. Maybe this is adjustable somewhere
but I didn't it see it. Looks nice.

Unfortunately on my PC (Win 8) when I try to execute it, I get a black screen for a second and then it minimizes...

Shame - looks good!

Hello therevills
Oh no, i don't have a win8 PC to test this on.
This is a b3d game, I guess you don't have probs running b3d games.
So it might be the gfx mode its set to.
If you look in the data folder and find the gfxmode.dat file, then you
can edit it in notepad.
default is
1024 ;x
768 ;y
32 ;depth

Maybe try with your native res if its different.
Hope this works!
Please get back with the results.
Thanks



Hi Doggie
Clicking on change resolution gave me a MAV also, lol.
must look into this.

cue stick's just locked to the camera at the moment
but i will improve it in later updates.



Hi John Galt
I envy you. lol

Looking good jon,

i've got a question about the light map reflection:
You have the three light directly above the table - check
but the reflection shows these to be dim and two other (unseen) light are brighter.

This sorta throws the effect for me. Shouldn't the three be the brightest light source followed by a hazy reflection of the tv?

I had a build with 3 spot lights in correct places, it looked better, but a bit gloomy, also a bit slower and harder to see the shots, (when the balls were on the cushions).
Im gonna up the gfx soon.

Just redownloaded and it now works :)

I get the same MAV as Doggie now - but its pretty good!

Hi therevills

Glad you like it & glad works now. Is it working in win8, or on another pc?

Iv fixed the MAV (Thanks for the bug spot Doggie), but haven't uploaded the new version yet.
Its missing a file called "logo.jpg" that should be in the same draw as the exe.
You can put any small jpg file and rename it "logo.jpg" will work. I'll upload a new build after iv worked out how to make a semi respectable video of the game (may take a while)

Cheers
