You forgot "... I think." at the end there.

Being able to know when you pass the 5 second mark without taking your eyes off the aiming you are in the process of doing is quite simply, objectively, an advantage.

Whether to make use of that advantage remains of course a personal choice for everyone to make for themselves.

Or in so many words - your loss


For comparison, it is a huge drawback over on killerpool.com where the clock ticks the entire time from t0.

Not talking about being reminded about it being your shot Emma. That would been great too, but a completely different issue.

I'm in the entirely opposite end of the scale here: When dealing with hard shots that take the full shot time to set up, where having to take your eyes away from the aiming in order to check on remaining time is quite simply a drawback compared to getting that information by audio.

Yep i've had a delay before in a tourno, every game i won it took about 20 to 30 seconds for it to say "jackbauer knocks mr_x out" and the rest that follows

That also happens for me aswell.

Don't know if its because i have grown used to it or it's been updated but the sounds seems better now and im content with it, as for the problems iv had nothing yet since the last one i reported.

However after each game when there is an option to click yes or no, after about 5 seconds it seriously lags me and when i come back if i gone to get a drink etc then sometimes it takes ages to click from bad lag, aslo effects other programs i use.

Sound has been updated on killerpool.

I'll update the sounds on here after feedback and any relevant tuning.

Right, all sounds have been updated now.

Stereo sound effect has been added.
Cushion connections make noise.
New sounds effects are taken from recordings from an actual table.

Any problems, please let me know.

Was just also wondering about a special xmas themed background for over the festive season as a choice, probably a bit late now but maybe an idea for the future.

sounds good nick wd

Hi

The new sounds are significantly worse than last week. Just like distortion every shot - I have a decent monitor with in built speakers which are excellent on everything except funkypool now. Last week it was fine! What happened?

Tibby, what is your setup, Java version, browser and operating system? What sort of distortion do you hear?

sorry nick but it was perfect yesterday, sounds more like a clonk when I hit the balls now, definately not stereo sound, I need to turn the volume higher to hear the balls and when doing this the other sounds are too loud

Your java properties:
Java version: 1.6.0_17
Java vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
Operating system: Windows XP
VERDICT: success

ive got my volume on full and i'm finding it hard to hear the new sound

Stereo sound will only work where your setup supports it.

I agree the other sounds are too loud compared to the game sounds.

Sounds better soft hit quite hard hit loud and the sound comes out of the speakers left and right depending where the ball is hit...

I like

Ok sound didnt sound any different since last week today it sounds awful

One of my clan players said it sounds like me tip has fallen off me cue lol spot on for sound tbh lol

i need to ask what does "tbh" mean?

to be honest jack

Im not really a fan of this sound i must admit, main reason will probably be because i was used to the previous sound.

Also a major problem i am reading and experiencing myself is the sound is just so quiet and im fairly certain 20 of us dont need to update our computers etc if it was fine before. To be honest i think another reason why i do dislike it is because it's so quiet.
