****HELP ON CUSTOMIZATION OF YOUR POOL TABLE*** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Without getting to detailed into the programming aspects of the table, there are several things you can do to customize the table you have created. Below is a list of the EASY things: -- Change the fail_txt, and sunk_txt lists to include different text. They are both lists of strings that will be used randomly when players either sink or miss balls. You can have as many different strings in each list as you like. Just adhere to the usage of the sentences already in the lists, so that the messages come out sounding right. -- Change the values in .shotneededtypes. This is a list of values, and each element represents the difficulty of a particular shot. The zero value is the penalty for a normal shot. The others, are the penalties for the shots listed in .shottypes_txt. Make sure you don't add or delete items to the list, but you can change the values. Large negative numbers will make it very hard for anyone to make a particular shot. Smaller negative values will make it easier. Messing with these numbers determines how hard it is to play on YOUR table. You can mess with the other properties too, but be careful. Unless you are a programmer, I don't recommend this, because the lists on the table are tied closely together in the verb code, and deleting or adding an element to a list may have adverse effects on the other lists. If the last paragraph was too murky of a disclaimer for you, and you really want to get into the guts of your table and make some changes, mail or page The_Walrus, and it will help you to the best of its ability...
