Slow Table

[daveebee]

I have been doing some experimenting with the speed of the snooker table. I am finding that if I play the cue-ball straight up the table towards the black spot at max power (plain ball) the cue ball hits the baulk rail and comes to rest about 6" below the baulk line. I think this table must be very slow, I mean really slow and I've played on a few slow ones. Is there any way of speeding it up (pc version) or is it another Blade cock-up?

Possibly related to the cue power stat?

Thats what I thought, I raised it but it didn't make any difference. I would think that a cueball struck up a down the spots ought to travel at least three times the length of the table(36'+) even on a slowish table. unfortunately I dont have access to a full sized table to try it out. Does anyone care to try?

It is mentioned before: It is the cushions. Every time a balls collide with the cushions, the pace of the balls decreased far too much.

I don't know if there's a way to play around with the table's parameters. It might well be possible, many other PC games have been modded in this way, for example the damage and range of arrows in Medieval 2 Total War. I've found that if you add a little bit of top to the shot instead of hitting it dead centre, the ball comes off the cushion slightly better.

I am not sure if there is an option to do that.
If it is, I like to know where...

Creative Assembly released an unpacker to the public, so modders could unpack certain files and change certain parameters. Something similar for WSC Real 09 would be nice, Blade. At least that way, we can do some of your work for you.

Well, only for the PC-version that is... I have an Xbox 360 copy.

Aha! One of the PC's many advantages over the consoles. As well as looking better, having higher resolutions and being a lot cheaper to buy games, it is also nearly always possible to mod games on PC.

@Blade: The table's speed seems spot on to me, it's just the cushions. Just give 'em a little bit more bounce in a patch, how hard can that be??
