Re: Snooker Trivia Question

I've just watched the video and measured all the shot times with a stop watch.
I'm afraid the correct answer is not listed! :o

Re: How do you get the blue dot next to your name?

Hello,

You've spotted a bug in the People window! :o

In version 0.1.185 the window popping up over the table cannot display the blue dot. If you watched the same information in the lobby, you would see the blue dot. The bug will be fixed in the next release.

Re: Concede button didn't work?

Hello, If there really was a concession, the server logged it, so it can be checked. Do you remember the date and time when it happpened? If the logs don't have it, the reason can be as simple as a human error, clicking one pixel away from the button of even the mouse not detecting the button press....

Re: Weird issue with sound

Hi,

That's strange indeed! Do you experience the same issue after restarting your PC?
You can try muting/unmuting all sounds (CTRL-M) or enabling/disabling different parts in the sound settings.

The new release has quite a few changes but none of them were supposed to do anything with sound.

Re: What does the referee say?

Hi Dan, Based on the question mark in your post, I think you are not absolutely sure about it. So, go ahead, set it up in SnookerQ practice mode and try the shot, then listen to the referee. Hint: You can remove balls from the table after /del command, and you can add a new red to the table by press...

Inspired by the overwhelming popularity ;) of the How many balls on the snooker table... post, here is another question and exercise: All the colours but the black are on their spots. The black is on the baulk line, touching the brown side of the yellow. The last red is being pocketed but the white ...

Re: Players Arriving

In August 2021, a humble sound effect was added to the game and it is played each time you receive a private message (a.k.a. @whisper message), someone invites you or someone joins the table you are playing at. The sound effect is switched on by default but you can toggle it by pressing CTRL-N.

Re: Match Settings Option

This feature was added to the game in May 2021!

Open My Account in the lobby and you can choose your favorite settings in the Preferences tab. Once saved, these settings will be auto-installed if you go to an empty table.

Enjoy!

Re: Last black after shot timer

Hello Rohan, In timerless games , the 90 seconds is not a hard limit for the shot. What happens at the expiry of that 90 seconds is that the opponent gets a popup in the lower left corner where he can choose to end the game or abort the game. This choice is available for 20 minutes. Until the non-of...

Re: last black in off

Thanks for the clarification! The rule saying that an in-off on the last black is a frame loss regardless of the scores must be a local rule. The official rules, followed also by SnookerQ as accurately as possible, clearly say that the winner of the frame is generally the player with the most points...

Re: the ''try again'' option

Hello, SnookerQ follows the rules of snooker. If a player fails to hit the ball on (the correct ball) with the first impact of the white ball, the referee will usually call a "foul and a miss", which means the non-offending player has three choices: - play on from the positon where the balls come to...

Re: Red balls hugging

Hi t_matze,

Do you remember which day (or night) it was and about what time? Who was the opponent? I want to identify the match because then we can look at each shot and thus recreate the bug situation, which will help us in fixing the fault.

Thanks!
