Quick question: Will there be a version for Linux? Or does it work in a virtual machine?

[9balldotcom]

Yes Ive been told that it does work in Linux but you need to use a special application that allows you to run windows applications in Linux.Its called WINE i beleive


Here is youtube vid of the process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoWBsWm-rLk

Tanks mate. I will try that. Yes, I know wine and I also had a look at winehq (a database for applications that could run in wine) I just found VP3 there. I will also try it in virtualbox and let you know

DID YOU KNOW ? That if you purchased VP3DL from the Celeris site in the past,you too are eligible to play online as you also already have created an account when you purchased VP3DL

A Free Online Pool Game with an Event-Oriented Social Network

Celeris has released Virtual Pool 4 Online, a free 3D online pool game
and an event-oriented social network with tournaments, ladders, a
calendar of events, and a pool lobby where you can chat with your
friends. The gaming platform lets you play 28 games including 8-Ball,
9-Ball, Snooker, Billiards, and Pub Pool.

The games let players compete in tournaments or play with friends.
Tournaments run continuously, and include single- and double-elimination
formats. To ensure a high level of competition for all players from
novice to champion, some tournaments are restricted to players of a
certain skill rating, and others have handicapping.

The Virtual Pool 4 Online website is a social network that keeps players
connected with friends and events. In addition to player profiles,
friends lists, tournament sign-ups, a calendar of upcoming events,
rankings, and statistics information, players can also view tournament
brackets and real-time match scores. Players can find friends and enter
their pool rooms with a single click. Players can even upload great
shots to share with other players.

Virtual Pool 4 Online's lobby is the main meeting and chatting place for
players. It's easy to find opponents there, or just hang out and enjoy
the conversations with other pool enthusiasts. It's simple to set up a
private chat and hold a personal conversation. Players can create Match
or Challenge rooms and optionally password protect them to make them
private. In Match rooms, players can play any game, to any score, on any
table, in any venue, with players chosen by the game master. There is
even team play. Challenge rooms are "King of the Hill" events in which
the winner stays on, and other players queue to try to beat the king.

At no cost, players have unlimited access to 8-Ball, 9-Ball, and 6-Ball
on a bar pool table. Players can upgrade to Premium service for an
annual $9.95(US) purchase of V$ 1000 of virtual currency that can be
used to enter tournaments. Top tournament finishers win virtual currency
prizes. Players can also use virtual currency to buy break cues, jump
cues, after-market playing shafts that lower cue deflection and make
shooting more accurate, and fancy cues with ivory and precious stone
inlays.

Players can enjoy Virtual Pool 4 Online on any modern Windows computer.

Anyone else having problems with this ?.
