Re: VP4 billiards table too long + other issues

I uploaded a 3c break shot to FB. Looks pretty much like what this guy is doing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtvx-ol7pQw (the first shooter ;-))
Zoom in to when he is shooting. He's not applying much english either.

Re: VP4 billiards table too long + other issues

From what I know IRL the shot would only be played with slight english. At least that's what Willie Hoppe wrote in 'Billiards as it should be played'. If you do that and shoot less hard (the red ball wouldn't get back out of the kitchen), it's relatively easy to make the break shot in VP4. This does...

Re: Tracking lines and ghost balls...

Tracking in Pro Tour and Hustler Career is limited to ghost ball and aim line in Easy mode. You can turn of/on the ghost ball using G key, aim line using T. Unfortunately at this point the game doesn't remember this setting, so you have to do that each match. If you want to get rid of it all togethe...

Re: Annoying problem or bug in VP4 (+POSSIBLE SOLUTION)

re desktop vs full screen mode, my installation appears to have no way to change this. In settings, graphics, video mode is blank with no selection buttons. Does this indicate a problem? It usually means VP4 isn't able to properly detect your video card. I'd suggest you contact support@celeris.com ...

Re: VP4 billiards table too long + other issues

Hmm.. the break shot seems OK to me, can make it about every time. But I'm a pool player and I think I generally use less side spin than billiards players tend to use.

Re: Annoying problem or bug in VP4 (+POSSIBLE SOLUTION)

I don't have any issues on my ultrabook, which is rather slow compared to todays PCs.
Anyways, Steve posted on FB that he most probably identified and fixed the issue.

Re: Snooker line-up drill savegame for download

Another nice feature in VP4 is that you can easily restart drills like this one using CTL-Backspace.
Play a few shots, miss, press CTL-Backspace and voila, you are back at the beginning.

Re: Graphics Issues with Radeon 6970

All files for DX9 should be already part of Win7. There is a log file called message.txt in the VP3 installation folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\Celeris\Virtual Pool 3 DL\message.txt if you installed to the default. It gets updated every time VP3 starts. You may find a clue in there on what's going on.

Re: push rule

I agree as far as the "numpty" analysis goes. If you disable CTL T during pushout you'd have to generally disable it. What if someone if playing just a regular shot, makes it, hooks themselves and then changes the turn to the other player.. same situation. To a certain degree we have to re...

Re: Graphics Issues with Radeon 6970

Have you tried starting the game in XP compatibility mode?
I'm not familar with dual video cards, but is there a way to disable one?

Looks like VP3 has trouble detecting your card.
I don't know of an option to force full screen, although the current mode is probably stored somewhere in the registry.

Re: New Computer -- dont get new serial from Celeris

Might be an issue with the video driver.
You can find one for your card here:

The little blue and yellowish shield is normal, shouldn't prevent the game from playing.

Re: Anyone for a 9ball tour?

Good idea!
I could only play if I have Fridays off.. which won't happen again for a while.
Any chance to have it Saturdays?
I could help out with hosting too, but I would think if you tell Nugget/Deb about it, they set you up on VPHQtournaments to host.

Hi, great game. I am still being paired with 'iPod4' players as of 2.01. Is Ipod4 a bot? I thought it was a real player. If it is a bot, it would be nice if he played other games than just 8ball and 9 ball. And yes, it seems that chat is gone now. Wonder if that was on purpose or by bug. Is there a...
