Shot Aid ?

[Tablefitter]

What changes when you shot aid adjusted ?
I do'nt see any changes when using this option.


In WSC 2005, there are 3 options:
aiming aid -
beginner
normal
expert

Beginner:



Normal:



Expert:





Is this not in WSC Real 08 available ?

I aint played this yet as I am waiting for the ps3 version to come out but wsc 2007 dont have it so my only guess is that they have took it out,there is an option I think to turn it off if you want.

[nfl]

wsc 08 on wii uses a shot aid and aiming aid.
shot aid is for just changing the way you take the final shot, so nothing to do with the aim. however the aiming aid has only 2 options, on and off. if you choose on, then it starts at the hardest level in career. as you gain experience and skill points, you can adjust your aiming to really make it easier. so even though your using the skill points, it's really like going from hard to easy mode. i prefer not to use my skill points and keep it at the hardest level aim, etc. but if you prefer, you may use all skill points, as it's customised to your style. i gather they have opted to go this way, to make you try hardest and improve over time.
hope this helps.

Can you please upload some pictures where I can see the difference. I do'nt understand it. Or my english is not good enough.

once again to explain: the aiming aid from the top can i not enable & disable ?

i will play the "Expert" style in WSC Real 09 !!!
Blade please add this feature

the option Aiming Aid "on" or "off" is the right way but i miss my Expert Mode

Tablefitter,

In WSC Real for Wii, there are 2 things ... OPTIONS and SKILLS.

In the OPTIONS menu, you can choose to turn ON or OFF the "Aim Shot".

If you choose Aim Shot = ON, then you will see both arrows (the pointer where the ball and the cue ball will go).

If Aim Shot = OFF, you will NOT see the pointer arrows.

That's exactly the arrows that you were described.

---------------------------

Now ... how long is the arrow? Because in your version, you can choose short, medium or long arrow by choosing begginer, normal or expert.

However, in WSC Real for Wii ... there is NO such choices.

You determine the length of the arrow by using SKILL POINTS. And yes, there are several skills you can INVEST with your skill points.

In this case, the skill that is related to the arrow length is POTTNG SKILL.

So, if you want longer arrow (in your case ... becoming begginer), you invest MORE on potting skill.

If you want to play like expert option like in your WSC, then DO NOT invest on POTTING SKILL.

Better, like nfl explained, do NOT invest any skills ... do NOT use your skill points.

What the hell is this skill points? Everytime you won a match (not a frame!) you got 1 or 2 skill points (you got 2 points if you white washed your opponent ).

And this kind weird (but good!), you can SUBTRACT back your skill points.
For example, you have invested quite a lot of potting skills, and you thought it is not too easy (because the arrow became longer). You can subtract back (remove) the points you have invested in potting skills.

Hope that's help ...

thanks snookdude, i was trying to think of an easier way of putting it.
tablefitter, do you see what we mean now!

if you want expert mode as you say, just turn aim aid on and (USE NO SKILL POINTS).

i have over 200 skill points saved, but (DON'T INVEST ANY). = EXPERT

that will give you expert setting as you want.

good luck!

[Tablefitter]

if you want expert mode as you say, just turn aim aid on and (USE NO SKILL POINTS).

No matter what setting. I've always been the aiming aid from above.
why it was not programmed differently? huhu Blade


pity the old tried and tested is no longer used.

[nfl]

tablefitter!
just trying to understand what you wish to use.
do you want to view expert arrows from above and normal view? as you can view expert arrows from above and shot view.
tell me which picture from your pictures you wish to play like?
i'll try help more.

[nfl]

theres only one other thing, i think you mean.
do you want to see expert view (arrows) from shot mode only, but don't want to see arrows over view?, just like your top 2 photos!!!!!!!

if i'm correct, then you will just have to turm aim aid off before looking overview, then turn it back on after you go back to normal view.

i could be wrong, but although long winded, can be done.
to be honest, the above arrows are hard to judge anyway, especially on expert, so i would not worry about it too much.

(1) like i said, if you don't want to see the arrows above, but do want expert arrows in normal, then turn aim aid off, then on when in normal.

(2) if you don't want arrows in above or normal, turn aim aid off.

(3) if you want expert arrows on above and normal, turn aim aid on and (don't use skill points). if you use skill points in potting, etc, it will make arrows longer, (beginner) and easier.

i can't think of anything or any other way. these are the 3 options i can suggest.

let me know and all the best.

[SnookDude]

I think ... he wants :

1. When you are viewing from above, the arrows should be hidden (not showing).

2. When you are viewing from normal view, the arrows may appear.

In this case, I think it cannot be done ... because the "Shot Aim" on or off is global for all viewing mode.

Anyway, if you dont invest any skill points ... that "small" arrows is nothing. Just ignore it.

Or completely turn it OFF

[nfl]

thats what i thought snookdude. so my number (1) suggestion would be correct. although long winded, it would mean turning aim aid off eveytime you go to look overview and back on after. can be done, but just a pain keep turning on and off.
like you said the arrows don't make much difference in expert, unless you close to a pocket. i find it not that accurate anyway on long shots and can pot better in normal.

[nfl]

yes, it is for sure. if you really don't want to see arrows above then turn aim aid off and back on when in normal.
it's a pain, but possible and the only option you got!

don't think your cheating as it's very hard to judge and not as accurate and easy to judge as you may think.
also, if anything, the computer is the one thats cheating, as it plays shots you wouldn't feel was possible. so look at it, that your giving yourself a chance and just balancing out the game, making it more realstic. the computer is very hard and less likely to make as many mistakes as in real, so your just evening things out. without it, you would probably have a better chance beating a real player on a real table.

why do i look at these things, it makes me feel a little disapointed with the wii graphics. however, like i said, it's the wii motion controls that makes up for the loss and thats how i except it. if only they could make the graphics more like this older game, it would be a nice addidition.

Blade Have Said:

Quote:


The positional aiming marker system is still there. The size of the circular marker is related to certainty of position... so if you put lots of spin on for example the circle will get larger, and the cue ball will end in somewhere in the circle, unless a second ball is hit by the cue ball after the object ball. We have put in the ability to disable the different aiming aid types if you desire so the system caters to experts and amateurs alike.
