I was just thinking that there should be a Straight Pool practice option, where the balls re-rack automatically (as they do in the actual game) when you clear the last ball.

Just so you can practice break building without having to re-rack.

Any thoughts?

Sounds good

I was thinking something along the lines of an option in the options box that says something like

Auto Re-rack ( )

And you could turn it on or off.

I think it should have all the game types as a practice option (except mini golf).

I aleady practice straight pool! the only diffrence is you have to re rack yourself so the option of auto re-rack would be good!

Yeah good call, shouldnt be too hard to implement either.

And killer, which uses the same number of balls and rack layout as US 8 ball

That's why i said all game types except mini golf, i think killer comes under that catergory

Don't worry cloone I understood what you meant!!

Yer that's a good idea I guess

Ohhhh now i know what ya mean, i was thinking snooker killer, my bad

Lol get the snooker off your mind.

Good idea.

not a bad idea

*Bump - just to bring some attention back.

I'd like to see this.

I quite like the auto re-rack idea, but should that happen it'd have to be coded differently still from straight pool to the rest of games as the rack comes back with one ball remaining. If that happened and I was on the black on 8 Ball I'd be pretty annoyed. =p

Would it say what run your on if your on a run

I don't see why not.

Any new thoughts?

Very good idea rogan! Also i think that would be a good add on billardboy.

Although i personally dislike straight pool due to the weird rules, the more then one ball potted rule should be done away with along with the pot on break aswell

I agree with the two balls potted rule being done away with - but I like the no potting on break rule, it makes it different to the other games.
