You're right. Those ideas are incredibly boring and would hardly be worth adding at all. Not surprised they've been ignored.

Coming from your past posts, you only get excited trying to wind people up, you need your own thread just for you buddy

What past posts?

1. It is.
2. yes, there is a lot of things that could be added to make it better. No one has really said this is better than any other idea that has gone before.
3. The added feature being discussed isn't by any means trying to make it like a ps3 or xbox game. The arcade feel of funky needs to remain, its why people play it. Games on the consoles are simulations which are much more advanced with their physics and 3D engines.
4. These forums are dead, Only two years ago you would post and within 5 mins you would get a reply. You never seen threads on the main forum list having posts older than 12 hours apart from the computer section at the bottom. Hardly anyone uses the forums these days, and its generally the same users who do. so once they've had their post. They don't post again.
5. Any idea suggested will have its players saying yes and its players saying no. Its impossible to add something that would get everyone 'excited'.
6. As most things that have been suggested as amazing or as bad as they sound. Most the time they don't happen.

Also, just to add, this topic has had the most replies on it in this section of the forum since the 2 years of ideas thread 26 days ago.

Not only that, but it's also one of the most replied to threads in this section for a whole year. Quite embarrassing really considering there's only been 4 pages of discussions.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm
The problem is the forum's are dead and always will until more people know about the site, Its not like even everyone likes snooker and pool.

To add to the game, costs money and time and effort, i think if the site was run by someone full time changes would happen all the time and members suggestions would get looked at more often.

Its like anything basically, the site needs to spend money to accumulate it, If you don't have the money and time then nothing will get done, Hence the reason admins & moderators get paid nothing to do the job for the site owner who is busy doing other things like getting drunk etc etc.

Nothing will ever get done on this site until someone takes the site on full time and will give everybody what they want.

until things get done i will be negative about any posts that may or may not improve the game because out of the tons of threads that appear how many of them have actually got implemented? Someone tell me the statistics please?

Makes me sick looking at these threads and all that is happening is a discussion from boredom and then the post diesssssssssssssssssss

Simple fact not enough members post on the forum which is why nothing will ever get done because no one will get it done.

woohaaaaaaaa clucking funky chicken

Even when the site was booming, the chances of the ideas being implemented hardly ever got done. Updates were more frequent though but they tended to be small fixes here and there.

There is no harm in discussing potential possible ideas. Its better to have active discussions going on so that if new members were to browse through and notice the forums. They won't feel put off with an inactive community and want to get involved and will then post their thoughts.

I think we all understand the likeliness of something being added is very very slim and that the forum isn't what it was. But as pointed out this has been the most discussed in recent months so its showing that people are becoming a little fed up and would like change. The more discussion within the thread about the topic the more chance nick might go, hold on. looks like this seems to be a popular idea. chances are he won't but its better to discuss than not discuss at all

Its not about quantity, its quality that matters. There may only be one single post but if it's a good idea it will no doubt happen. The vast majority of ideas come from the forums, just look at the range of games and features we have now, even this site itself spawned from a request for snooker on the pool forums.

If there are only a few or even no replies it might be that an idea is so perfect nobody can improve on it

What quality are we talking about here then?

haha stop moaning your not even a premiuim member so be happy as it is

I am a premium member you potato brain

If you want to talk about improving the realism of spin on the game then up against cushions is not the first thing on the list.

On whose list? Because it's the first thing on my list.
What other improvements are needed for spin?

I'd be touching up the running and reverse side, you can't kick off cushions quite like you can in reality. Balls remain on correct line despite extreme side where in reality you need to account for the side. You can't squeeze shots and create angles that you need through spin like you can in reality.

I personally would not change a thing, the beauty of this game is the simplicity, yet retaining very good control and that is what sets it apart from other similar, but more realistic games.

Throughout the discussion on spin here, I am surprised that nobody has discussed shots such as in the clip below.

If you play off the cushion, the lower part of the white is naturally "hidden", but there are other types of spin shots that can be played by raising the cue and striking down into the cue-ball.

Perhaps some of the more programmer-literates here could enlighten us as to whether this sort of shot would be possible, and what the implications / technical problems would be.....

think you would have to learn the swerve shot first, you don't have to raise the cue, a button would do where it does it for you and harder you hit it the more swerve you generate which means more chance of missing.

wonder if its possible to code.

That was discussed earlier in this thread when Spinner mentioned it.

I mentioned about taking masse shots in games such as WSC series on the consoles and PC. You see it more on the pool tables than snooker if honest. I don't feel that shot is needed in funkysnooker but swerve shots are slightly different as you don't need the raised cue for these. Been times when you needed that extra few pixels around a blocking ball and a swerve would be perfect.

I do think the whiteball against the cushion is more important than adding swerve shots though. But thats just me.

yeah i was mentioning to baff, masse is just an advanced swerve shot.

i hope if spin is limited so is the aimer as pots off the cushion should be tougher.
