yep if your on facebook you want to be able to hear if the ball has gone in the pocket so you know if its your shot

Couldnt of put it better myself.

Theres not as much satisfaction potting a ball with the current sounds, if there taken from real play thats fine.

But we must remember balls hit on different angles with different spin make different noises, also the angle they enter pockets would create a different sounds, pace aswell of course would mean different sounds.

I dont know how many different tones are being used currently it just all seems very tinny!

People said the same before about when the "old" sounds came in. But everyone got used to them. Just the same case for these ones i'd say.

Please compare them to an actual snooker game, listen to this video in the background at the same time as playing some shots.



Regarding the pocket sounds the effect is always that they drop into the pocket. In reality a hard shot makes a loud sound when being slammed into the back of the pocket, but that effect does not current exist in funkysnooker.

to be fair the game does sound identical.

ended up watching the whole break! genius

@i_am_god, great. I think we all got used to the pool sounds on here when snooker balls do sound tinny / plasticky in comparison.

I think the only real sound effect incorrect is the noise for a fast shot being pocketed. I will look into this.

Sounds are now updated for the harder shots.

The new sounds are obviously more realistic.

But I still prefer the pool sounds, mainly because their potting sound is more loud and clear, but they also sound better quality.

Is there any chance of being able to have an option of which sounds you want? (i.e. Pool Sounds / Snooker Sounds.)

yeah an option would be nice, new sounds are ok but i prefer the old ones.

lmao me to..could watch it again now..the mans a legend with a cue

agreed, class break

i tried to do the shot where ronnie went into pack in practice on orig, tried alternate power on off, all sorts of spin, didnt work *sighs*

Also the Icon for the web page on firefox has changed to a ball!

Same on IE, a genius touch

I changed the icon as the picture with a black background looked really poor. I've just made is a ball for now but the rest of the image is transparent which makes it adapt better.



An option is not easily possible.

It does sound strange (to me too) at the moment while it's new. I think it's best to give it some time and see our feelings in a week. However I'd like to hear any problems, or any discrepancy with real sounds.

The pocket sound was updated last night - a different louder THUD sound happens for any ball hit into the pocket with pace. Try it with the white.

i see now if you foul on the black you lose?

what if you foul on the black for a 107 do you still lose?

No, it just doesn't get respotted.

I haven't played since the updates but after reading the forums, I'm sure its not a foul on the black and you lose, but if you're already losing or less than 7 points ahead and you foul on the black, then the game ends.

The game ends with the foul taken into account. If you're 7 points ahead and foul on the black, scores are equal and black is respotted, otherwise the foul is taken into account and the frame awarded accordingly.

ok thank you

Omg, the thud sound into the pocket on a harder shot is amazing. Always loved that sound
